For example I’m using a v1 optimum with a v2 60he too

Iirc I forgot to change the 4mm panel too in that photo. I have an updated one that has it changed but I never reposted it around since it was a minor thing

[undone sentinel]

I noticed that the bottom of the 60HE V2 already comes with silicone support pads, and the Optimum Case also includes a few silicone grommets.
Which one should I be using? Or should I use both and install them together?

[glacial wind]

You mean the small rubber standoffs cover things in the optimum case?

[lyric nimbus]

yes

[undone sentinel]

I’m still preparing to purchase it, so I don’t know the exact situation yet.
Previously, I thought I would need to remove the rubber supports on the V2 module one by one in order to use the silicone grommets included with the Optimum Case.

[glacial wind]

No you don’t need to do that at all

[haughty shore]

What are like the differences between POM, fr4, and fibre plates for the 80he?

I be asking so much questions lately oh my

[glacial wind]

It’s literally just get optimum case, put in case foam, put in v2 friction fitted and you’re done

[undone sentinel]

Got it — so the silicone grommets from the Optimum Case still need to be installed, right?

[glacial wind]

I don’t know what you mean by silicone grommets

[undone sentinel]

The silicone sleeves that cover the bottom screw posts.

[sacred elm]

No

[glacial wind]

if you mean standoff covers then you can put them on the standoffs if you want but they don’t really do much because the v2 has those rubber standoffs built in already

[undone sentinel]

understand now I’m going to purchase the V2! 🚀

[quasi hinge]

Hey guys, is it true we need ID verification next month for discord?

And possible face scan too

[glacial wind]

Yeah, discord is prepping because governments are banning social media for kids

So they’re trying to get ahead of it by doing verifications and such

[quasi hinge]

Convenient excuse for a panopticon

[glacial wind]

It already happened in Australia and they got past partially because the government was stupid and partially cause they already had some level of verification in place

[quasi hinge]

The slow boil of internet surveillance

[glacial wind]

Can see Australia as basically their beta test of it

[quasi hinge]

Soon we will need it for logging onto the net, just watch

[glacial wind]

I’m not too worried about that stuff but more annoying that you have to trust discord with your id

[quasi hinge]

Im not worried about it, I just dont trust any of these companies

[glacial wind]

As someone who has worked in marketing and ad stuff a lot in the past, the social ad networks already know everything about you at this stage

[quasi hinge]

They will somehow use legalese to sell all your data in the T&A

[glacial wind]

Anyone who thinks they’re anonymous still doesn’t realise how much info brands already have on everyone

[quasi hinge]

Very true but this is very different

[glacial wind]

Although interesting fact is that people actually look on personalised ads very well

When done well it seems people actually like it, which is something noticed on instagram in particular

[quasi hinge]

I dont use any social media… and am OC about all the settings on phone and in browser and at a hardware level

I mean ISPs and VPNs and any antivirus software see what you look at anyway

But IDs… im gonna find some dude and pay him 10$ to put his face and Id on here for me LOL

How do you like dem apples discord

[regal patio]

There was a data breach few months ago

So who knows where your ID might land

Thats my concern

Also the verification system doesn't work well xd

My friend verified his age via the camera

And he got a score saying that's his 3 years older than he is in reality

You could probably wear a santa claus beard mask and get the verified age of 100

[quasi hinge]

Exactly

[quasi hinge]

And internet security is always a catch up game

0 day exploits

Hackers are gonna love this

[regal patio]

Ye

I hope I won't be asked to verify my age

[quasi hinge]

Im already figuring out someone to lend me his ID haha

[regal patio]

Xd

[quasi hinge]

Full disclosure of course to him

[regal patio]

Generate an id with gemini 🧠

I bet discord wont even look at it

[quasi hinge]

I think they may be thinking of that. Im going to ask someone just in case they ever need to redo etc. dont want to get locked out

[trail bane]

How you guys doing

[regal patio]

If i am forced to do the age verification ill make a beard mask out of tissues

[regal patio]

My nova's hopefully arrive today

And the toronto kryboard kit is coming in few days

[quasi hinge]

Discussing the panopticon

[regal patio]

Also the face scanning is probably affected by the camera quality

So ill face scan on my potato phone

[quasi hinge]

Buy one of those face changing net masks of a celeb lmao

Ordering 1 rn lol

Getting Mr. Bean

[young viper]

I bought one of those,doesn't look anything like they advertise lmao

I bought the Walter white one lol

[quasi hinge]

Using someone else's ID then or face

[quasi hinge]

I ordered 4, will try them first lol

[young viper]

Lmaoooo that's funny

[quasi hinge]

I just know there is some group of autist hackers in eastern europe salivating at the chance to get it all

[little glen]

The horses escaped

[glacial wind]

they can be a little wild

[quasi hinge]

How are the stability on those

[glacial wind]

very stable, they're as good as any of the other top walled stem switches

[little glen]

also got some switch storage boxes

time to put the rawhuks in those and leave the tikken box empty

[old sail]

hi i had a wooting for 2 years and im gonna buy the v2 board but i dont know anything about the switches i dont care about the sound too much i just want to make my keyboard as competitive as possible im wondering if i should get some switch thats rly easy to press or a switch that is ahrder to press? (im on default wooting for 2 years)

[glacial wind]

just grab tikkens as a base switch since they're a good overall switch and cheap

if you want to try other switches later you can always swap them out, but tikkens are a good start because they're so cheap when you're buying the v2 at the same time

[old sail]

money is not the problem

i think i want something silence tbh

but i want to realize the press force first

[glacial wind]

it's not really a money thing, but that you aren't fully sure what you want yet

so we can't really recommend things until you have an idea

[old sail]

yea thats true but thats why im asking right now to get recomendations

[glacial wind]

tikkens are just a good starter where you'll use them and at least then we'll know what to recommend

[old sail]

i told u i want something silent

[glacial wind]

you said competitive, you can't do silent sorry

[old sail]

why?

[glacial wind]

silent switches are inaccurate at top/bottom

[old sail]

i dont know shgi about them sry

oh okay

then something silent-ish maybe?

[glacial wind]

if you want to use silent switches for non competitive use it's fine, but you absolutely shouldn't use it for competitive use

you could try taishan gt pink, they sound awful but if you really don't care about sound and just want something silent then those are a good option

[little glen]

Package also had these in it

[glacial wind]

tikkens are also very muted for a non silenced switch

[little glen]

Oops forgot the attachment

[old sail]

which ones are on the v1 if u know?

[glacial wind]

lekker v1, they're old and totally different design, not even close to the tikkens

this is taishan gt pink https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nKAAck5QSoM

like i said before, most people think they sound awful, but they are quiet

they have a bit of a mushy, kind of wooshy sound that most people dislike

[old sail]

eh yea it does sound bad

what about l45 anmd l60?

[sacred elm]

Get Tikkens

[glacial wind]

l45 vs l60 is just how heavy switch is - those are lekker v1 and lekker v2, both of which i wouldn't recommend over tikkens

[old sail]

okay ty

[glacial wind]

honestly tikkens are a good base for you to buy first. They're more quiet than most switches, sound is solid too

[old sail]

is there no keycaps that have a split spacebar yet other then the official wooting?

[glacial wind]

there are, most people use a novelty for the 1.25u key, but if you want a spacebar shaped 1.25u key look at things like wuque studio keycaps

a lot of their sets come with the full split spacebar options

otherwise if you don't mind 1.25u key being different shape then lots of sets sell split spacebar kits

[glossy pagoda]

Horses in the stable

[glacial wind]

the interesting thing is wooting ourselves don't do a spacebar shaped 1.25u key though

the one we provide is more regular profile

that 1.25u shaped in spacebar profile is really rare for most sets

[uneven cradle]

thankfully I could get a spacebar kit for my dualshot set

[glacial wind]

i think it's one of those things where you get used to whichever you start using lol

i got used to dome version since tutkeys/80retros does 1.25u dome in their sets, but then now i'm on cerakeys with zero dome on any spacebar keys and it took a good 2 weeks to really get used to it

i think overall if i have a choice i prefer all domed, as they feel easier to reach/push

[little glen]

Ok i did a quick and dirty g and h test

And god damn these switches sound good

It‘s a lot clearer than the tikkens

[glacial wind]

more horse lovers have arrived

although we need a better name

[little glen]

Umamusume switches

[glacial wind]

horse lovers isn't necessarily the title we want

[little glen]

Horse girlies

[uneven cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/färd-pferd-horse-pferdegesicht-horseface-gif-3528284947006317144

[glacial wind]

oh stallions

we need a strong imagery name

they're definitely my favourite ttc switch currently

[regal patio]

Keytok nova's are way quiter than most switches

[chilly mural]

Red Hare

[regal patio]

Tho idk how they perform

I'm not a gamer

They are arriving today and I'll test them

[little glen]

Ok keycaps are off

Time to pull some switches

And then i can eat breakfast

[glacial wind]

oh geon is doing sale towards end of this month

maybe i finally buy gmk black snail

[chilly mural]

A distraction from China being closed for a moment

[humble surge]

The same as other switches

[glacial wind]

alright ordered cyl ocote just so i have split spacebar 1.25u for gmk black snail lol

[little glen]

what switch should i use for the horses for now

on the selector

[humble surge]

I knew February will be dark, but to already have switch withdrawals 10 days in is wild

[little glen]

goddamn i think i really like these

sound is super clear, maybe a little deeper than i would prefer usually but its good, plus the wobble is great as well

barely any top or bottom wobble

[glacial wind]

use any of the ttc profiles, i use ttc kom pom

[little glen]

only unfortunate thing is that i need to put some stem spacers on my stabs again

[glacial wind]

it's not 100% perfect because ttc kom pom and magneto are 0.05mm off in travel, but it's fine for now until we have horses in the switch selector

[little glen]

[fringe quarry]

[humble surge]

damn Latenpow Deng God -2$ on superdeals today
too bad they did this now, no way i can order

[glacial wind]

there's still a few extras leftover btw if anyone wanted matching black split 1.25u key for their gmk set

https://kbdfans.com/products/gmk-cyl-mictlan-rebirth?variant=44437149679755 and a few of the vendors

[little glen]

alr got my order in during the gb

😎

[glacial wind]

a bit pricy just for 1 key though but that's the life of the 1.25u spacebar profile gmk key lol

[little glen]

i did also get the other stuff

those skull keycaps

[glacial wind]

i only bought just that, then i'll pair it with other gmk stuff like black snail or just wob

[little glen]

and the hibi artisan

fair, but i also just like mictlan

[glacial wind]

at least it has 2 1.25u keys

so i can justify it as a mere $16 per key

[little glen]

good deal

[glacial wind]

that's 2 sets i can use it with

[little glen]

honestly

idk if i want to take the horses out of the 80he anymore

i might just throw the dcf on my 60he v2

[lunar sand]

Big brother small brother. Finally the gt80 with the right keycaps. Now going to do some stab work and try out how the Holee mod goes with the spacebar since I don’t quite like how it sounds on the 80.

The good part is how easy it is to remove the PCB on the GT-80 🙂 me likes ...

[regal patio]

Nova's

Cat approved switch

So it's clearly good

Also

Why does it come in 1000000000 boxes

[crimson sky]

They love microplastics

[regal patio]

[lunar sand]

because it's expensive 😄

[cloud crane]

They love waste

[quasi hinge]

What is the story of these switches

Ive been out of the game so long

I feel like a noob again

Sound aside what is S tier for gaming on a cf plate rn?

I guess im just wondering what the most stable switch is

[broken notch]

Ufo is very stable

[quasi hinge]

Waiting on the silver UFOs but wont arrive until march

[little glen]

I‘m loving the horses rn

[quasi hinge]

Did they need lube? lol

[little glen]

Initial impressions are very good

Nope

[quasi hinge]

How is the stability

[little glen]

V good

[quasi hinge]

Why did you choose those if I may ask

I may choose them if the UFOs give me any scratchiness

Want something without color

[little glen]

I wanted to try something new and sno said they‘re good

[quasi hinge]

And stable (round) or octagonal

[little glen]

Thats kinda it for reasons

[quasi hinge]

I trust sno

Good reason enough

[little glen]

I can do a stability comparison video if you want but its hard to see any of that stuff anyways

[quasi hinge]

Yeah that is hard to show, you really gotta have the switch

[little glen]

Horse vs tikken vs lekker v1.5 (or v1 idk what the uwu i have came with)

[quasi hinge]

Other option is wuque v2 or whatever they are calling them now

[little glen]

I do also have deep clack flux coming in the mail as well

[quasi hinge]

Pic?

[little glen]

Its the first one on the recommendation sheet

[quasi hinge]

Are they round or octagonal?

[little glen]

Octagonal

[quasi hinge]

Perchance you have the link?

[little glen]

I just bought from some random aliexpress seller

[quasi hinge]

I mean the recommendation sheet

[little glen]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[quasi hinge]

Ty

[quasi hinge]

That slight friction got me worried for the UFOs

[quasi hinge]

How would the flux compare to the keytok nova? Im guessing flux deep clack wins or about the same

[little glen]

I do not have them

You‘d have to ask sno

[sacred elm]

wins in what? most round/octagonal stem switches have the same stability, it's just sound/feel preference

[fringe quarry]

whats SP

Space?

[cloud crane]

Should be

[glacial wind]

Yeah space

[quasi hinge]

If they are the same stability, what is the difference in feel?

Forgive my ignorance

Like they wobble more?

[broken notch]

We cooking boys

For the record I don't agree with sno on the friction in UFOs

[broken notch]

Imo it fades after like half a day or even less

[tropic urchin]

They feel like every other normal switch, idk where the weird friction talk originated from or the ‘tightness’

[broken notch]

I think you'll be happy with your UFOs

[tropic urchin]

They’re not like raptor V2s where you’re f’ed with spring crunch

[broken notch]

I'm not saying sno is wrong, I just didn't feel it myself

And I've been using them for 2 months now

[fringe quarry]

lets all buy novas

[tropic urchin]

Alr bud

[cloud crane]

Nah

[fringe quarry]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1006341705924087919/1277076065260539955/qIFw2xe3.gif

[broken notch]

If I was forced to buy new switches rn, I'd buy tcc horsies or ufos

Though I heard nova is good too, but not different enough from UFOs from what I could tell

For their pricepoint

[austere creek]

have to say the fact that symbols and numerals dont have the red inside with the white border would trigger me so hard

[broken notch]

I agree a bit, might revise later

[austere creek]

same with

[broken notch]

But my font didn't have those icons

And the letters are two fairly similar fonts overlayed

So they don't match perfectly

[austere creek]

damn

red bleeding from white

[broken notch]

These are all concessions I made myself

The site isn't to blame

[austere creek]

also would reconsider this

[broken notch]

I just didn't have the time to uh, make new stencils

[robust siren]

chinese special koi switches

[broken notch]

I'll see when they arrive, I think they'll be fine for a lil display thing

[austere creek]

no one said that. just posting issues i see

[broken notch]

I wholeheartedly enjoy your feedback though

[crystal rose]

i wish it was easier to find a service for making a strap 😔

[broken notch]

Much appreciated

[austere creek]

btw the keycaps in the second image (besides the 1 reconsider one) look actually quite good

[broken notch]

Just find a cloth printing thing and cut it out from cloth

[austere creek]

personally would have preferred a 5sided dye sub one so the warning stripes carry on across keys but overall good

[fluid ravine]

@robust siren

[broken notch]

Yeah, me too but they don't offer that service (yet. i hope)

[crystal rose]

I cant find any 😔

[austere creek]

golbin keycaps does

[robust siren]

fire

[austere creek]

if you need a service that offers 5 sided

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[tropic urchin]

When you see only what you want to see

[broken notch]

Yeah, I looked at them but I didn't like their quality

[quasi hinge]

I was thinking Jade Max type issue, garbage out of the box

[broken notch]

They're a bit more blurry and limit amount of pngs used

[robust siren]

i dont think sojus have white bottom row

[tropic urchin]

Nah. Jade max you could feel right away it’s dog shit

[broken notch]

This one uses like svg

[austere creek]

for the goblin i think you just send 1 massive png of the entire set

since thats basically how they do it for the dye sub as well

just printed onto special transfer plastic and then heated to put into the caps

[broken notch]

Yeah? I might try them for the second batch, if ever

[austere creek]

check tenz tour part 2 on our channel. we show how dye sub works

[broken notch]

I want to make a Solo Leveling set for my hubby

[robust siren]

yummers

@fluid ravine

[tropic urchin]

Their only flaws I’ve noticed is the plastic is lil more fragile (can scratch) and you can’t open to lube

[robust siren]

[austere creek]

i also still wanna try goblin for a custom set

[broken notch]

I'll have a look, thanks Tony

[quasi hinge]

I have the Lunar new year wait and ponder

[broken notch]

Next purchase is a zoom64 group buy and a custom v2 plate for it

[tropic urchin]

I wouldn’t worry about it.

[broken notch]

@crystal rose this is -my- custom ribbon

Lanyards are just the right width

So find a custom lanyard printing service

Imo

[tropic urchin]

If there was an issue, @sacred elm would’ve found it by now

[broken notch]

Shafie did break one opening it up, the UFOs

So that is a minus for them

But that was before someone shared the double pincer tech

[tropic urchin]

Yeah you just can’t lube em without damaging the plastic housing

[broken notch]

If you have two switch removers

[tropic urchin]

They’re less durable than I’d like but it’s w/e

[broken notch]

You can like press all four points at once

[tropic urchin]

Idk he broke a few and his puller trying that

[broken notch]

But defo annoying

They're not meant to be opened, alas

I hope they make an UFO v2 with an easier spring access

#dreams

I do thjnk tcc horsies are the cream of the crop atm

[quasi hinge]

But factory lube is decent

[broken notch]

Yeah

I just don't know how long that lube will last someone who doesn't like swap switches every 2 months

[red perch]

Does anyone here have a sound recording/video of the Tenz switches comparing the GEON raw jade pro’s or max?

[broken notch]

The tenz switches are the same as lekker tikkens afaik?

[little glen]

same as tikkens pretty much

[broken notch]

Just a different color

[red perch]

I thought they aren’t

They’re lighter and longer springs

[mighty widget]

Welp

[broken notch]

Longer springs yes

Lighter, no

Only the spring is different

[quasi hinge]

Oh wuuut

[fluid ravine]

GIB

[broken notch]

But one leads to the other, naturally

I think you'll be fine asdasmos

No need to worry

They are amongst the best out there atm

[red perch]

On the website it says they’re lighter

[broken notch]

Because the spring is longer

[red perch]

Is the sound the same then as the normal tikkens? To me they sound different

[broken notch]

They should be the same

But stock 80HE isn't a TenZ

So naturally they sound different

[red perch]

Yeah but im deciding if i want to keep the tenz one or mod my 60HE V1 with fr4 plate and use the jade max switches which id then have to order and cant compare the sound right now

Ive never done it before so idk exactly what is wise

[mighty widget]

I’m think for trying the gravastar ufo switch just to see what all the hype’s about. But currently enjoying the geon raw switches

[broken notch]

I'd keep the tenz as is

It's a balanced board imo

[broken notch]

Ufo ufo ufo

[red perch]

Other people said the opposite, so its why I got in this situation 😅

[broken notch]

I don't think jades in any flavor are worth it atm

[broken notch]

But that might be a me thing

[red perch]

They said if I get an fr4 plate and the jade switches it will be sounding the same if not better, so here I am trying to figure it out

[crystal rose]

i couldn't find any

[red perch]

It would save me about €200 so there’s that as well

[broken notch]

How can they say better without providing a sound sample?

[glacial wind]

What case is that? Haven’t seen that around much

[red perch]

That’s what im asking here

[broken notch]

It's all personal preference

We can't answer for you

You can read the recommendations and reviews in #🪛│modding_faq

[red perch]

But I didn’t ask for an opinion, I asked for a video or sound recording

[broken notch]

They each have a sound recording

[red perch]

If someone might have that

[broken notch]

As noted in bold letters

[broken notch]

This amazing guy put in a lot of effort

[tropic urchin]

I’d probably order different Gateron switches, Jade max are old and come with issues. I’d look at the Jade ultras or something like that, that just came out recently if you want a Gateron switch

[broken notch]

Eh, compare the Gateron switches with the lekker tikken mediums on the list

That's the most accurate comparison we can offer atm

[tropic urchin]

Jade airs are supposed to be the successor to the max but not sure id trust them tbh

[mighty widget]

Personally peripherals are pretty hard because you have to try it or know someone that already has it if that’s something you’re open to you

[red perch]

in the netherlands at least i havent found those, and i can only get the pro's or max, as far as i know

[mighty widget]

But I highly agree with trying out something different than thejade maxs

[broken notch]

@glacial wind do you have a TenZ?

[broken notch]

You buy them on good old aliexpress

[tropic urchin]

I’d go pros out of the two

I’ve had both and the maxes truly suck

[mighty widget]

!Amazon!

[broken notch]

Maxes are awful

I argreeee

[little glen]

quick and dirty horse sound test

[red perch]

dutch amazon, i tried. unless you know different and able to send a link?

[broken notch]

Sounds similar to my ufos tbh

[glacial wind]

Yeah I get one of each thing for video work

[broken notch]

Could you do a sound test for the tenz tikkens or is that kinda lame to ask?

[mighty widget]

UFO UFO UFO 🛸

[little glen]

my setup isnt as good as sno's so you can hear the table resonating in the mic 😭

[broken notch]

Sounds good tho

Like the marble

[red perch]

i have the tenz, im just curious what the difference in sound is with the same mic between tenz and jade switches

[little glen]

yeah i am liking these

[broken notch]

Again, I'm fairly sure the jade switches aren't an upgrade over lekker tikkens

[stoic ocean]

@fluid ravine I'm supposed to receive my Vella on February 12th, finally!

[broken notch]

Oooo, vella!

Nice

So sexy

[mighty widget]

Nice nice

[red perch]

but refering to your previous response: "How can they say better without providing a sound sample?" so hence i'd like to hear if possible

[broken notch]

Yeah, but, comparing it with the lekker tikkens and jades

You're as close as you'll likely get

I don't think many will replace their tenz switches with jades of all things possible

[tropic urchin]

Tikkens are supposed to be a jade pro equivalent upgrade from the lekker V2s, but I’d probably use those over jade pros currently in the meta

[red perch]

unless someone here has both switches on an fr4 plate so i can know for sure

[broken notch]

I agree. Been burnt with Jades too much

[tropic urchin]

Real

They were good back in 2024 when your options were 3 choices

[regal patio]

I asked chatgpt for fun

[trail bane]

Yo @humble surge

[regal patio]

What's the best he switch

Guess what he said

[trail bane]

Jade gaming type shi

[broken notch]

Yeah, heh

[regal patio]

That the Gateron jade are as thocky as mechanical switches

[broken notch]

Horsies

[regal patio]

That's so sad

[broken notch]

Big upgrades huh

[tropic urchin]

We can’t afford ram for blatant misinfo now awesome

[regal patio]

Thousands of people bought jade cuz of that

That's real sad

People won't do research

Cuz they believe is the all knowing god

[tropic urchin]

Some ppl gotta be burned before they realize the truth

[regal patio]

[lyric nimbus]

thoughts

[broken notch]

Sno basically convinced me of the UFOs with help from Embolia

[tropic urchin]

Can’t save em all

[regal patio]

You ate the case?

[trail bane]

Nah just samples for my switch list + stuff for Rakka

[lyric nimbus]

no im MAKING it

[regal patio]

Nice keycaps

Cerakeys?

[lyric nimbus]

ya

[lyric nimbus]

this 3d printed part was defective

[broken notch]

It seems very crusty

[regal patio]

I'll record a keytok nova sound test

In a sec

[broken notch]

Like, will you sand the edges etc

[lyric nimbus]

no

[broken notch]

On the real deal ™

[lyric nimbus]

temporary housing until the real deal arrives

[broken notch]

Niiice

Watching you with great interest

I'm hoping switch wise we get another big shakeup this year

Gimme the new premium shiz, you know

[regal patio]

They are sooooooo smooth

[broken notch]

Nice

[regal patio]

They don't need lubing imo

Build is:
The stock alu wooting case
Wooting 60 he V2 module
Dye sub cherry profile keycaps
Keytok nova switches
EPDM foam
2 layer tape mod
Stock lubed stabs

[broken notch]

Wicked

[regal patio]

The only downside of the nova's is that they fit too tight in the plate

And can't easily fit in the plate

[broken notch]

Please don't come in the plate

I saw what I saw

[red perch]

i am not going to replace my tenz switches with jades, i am going to replace my switches of my original 60HE V1 keyboard to jades if i can hear a sound comparison between those and the tenz one, so that i can decide to either mod my 60HE v1 or keep the Tenz one. i just want to ask if anyone is able to make a sound recording for me, or link me to one, thats all

[broken notch]

Ooooh

We can't

I think we established that

[red perch]

huh?

how can you speak for a thousands of people? xD

[broken notch]

You're asking a very niche question, that's how

[red perch]

what? the whole internet is full of sound comparisons. Maybe someone here has it for the tenz and the jade's. why are you making a problem out of this?

[broken notch]

I am not, I told you to compare the lekker tikkens with the jades

But you keep circling around

Despite them being the same material

[regal patio]

The jade aren't good in 2026

[broken notch]

I'm genuinely trying to help, I apoligise if it seems otherwise

[regal patio]

That's the takeway

[red perch]

i want to compare the tenz switches to the jades, my lekker tikkens sound different than the tenz ones, even though theyre both on an fr4 plate. you told me that they cant tell me something without providing a sound sample, so im here to ask for a sound sample. you are not helping, so i'd like to see if there is someone else who can help me with a sound sample between the two, thank you

[regal patio]

Check the wooting sound tests

It's recorded on a fr4 plate

[red perch]

i did, but if i listen to the tenz ones on their website and then go to the jade ones, it seems a whole different mic. so ive just been wanting to hear the two with the same mic

if not jades, nor geon raw, what switches do you then recommend?

[robust siren]

nuh uh

i don’t think so

[lyric nimbus]

ngl is there a way i can make this unavailable for commercial sale

[tropic urchin]

Cheapest probably would be owlab ti he’s

[glacial wind]

that's very odd because the tenz and tikkens should sound the same

the only change is the spring

[red perch]

thats so weird

i hear it so different

[glacial wind]

by the way all the sound tests I do are with the same mic

are you testing your switches in the exact same position?

[broken notch]

Apparantly if I say it, it's untrue 🤥

Also!

My keychain came in weeee

[lyric nimbus]

i wanna make it like uh

[glacial wind]

if you haven't gone to our sound test database, all of those soundtests are recorded with same mic, same setup.

both jade, tikkens and almost every recent switch is there all tested on the same setup with a high quality recording setup

[glacial wind]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

if that's not good enough for you then I'm not sure what else we can provide because that's about as good as we can get

i assure you though the tikken and tenz switches are the same minus a spring change and color change, but materials used are the same - so they should not have any sound difference

[red perch]

thanks, havent been there

do you know what can make it sound so different to me then? ic ant figure it out

like what else can be a reason

[glacial wind]

if you use switch in a different spot of the keyboard that can change sound

for example A doesn't sound same as G on same keyboard

[broken notch]

Location, case, tapemod or not etc

[glacial wind]

sometimes screw location, mounting holes etc will change resonance in particular spots

different rows sound different too, especially on some boards like 60he v2 where we have a middle foam layer around the alpha keys

and within that sometimes 2 of the same switch can sound slightly different just due to lubing

[red perch]

and as someone mentioned above, ordering those switches from aliexpress will be giving me the real ones? as i cant order some here

[trail bane]

Candies @tropic urchin @robust siren

[robust siren]

gimmie the fluxes

[broken notch]

Which ones are the fourth

[glacial wind]

that's just poor switch management. Now you're going to have to sort them all

[broken notch]

Just as any other thing in the world, you need to pay attention to the listing and use reputable vendors

[trail bane]

Bruh indeed

[broken notch]

Ask in here if you have doubts about a listing

[tropic urchin]

What’re those

[broken notch]

But switches are generally not faked

[robust siren]

i only have a few

[trail bane]

TTC horses

[broken notch]

fuck they look good

[glacial wind]

it's funny that the unionwell ice things became popular in western circles just because people didn't realise they were sold already under the name xiayou/snow

[regal patio]

Build is:
The stock alu wooting case
Wooting 60 he V2 module
Dye sub cherry profile keycaps
Keytok nova switches
EPDM foam
2 layer tape mod
Stock lubed stabs

[glacial wind]

so the blue ones are just recolors but people think they're the original because the unionwell snow never got widespread in the english peripheral circles

[robust siren]

i remember seeing the blue ice ultras and i think there was another color on aliexpress

[verbal island]

I just saw that the Wooting TenZ has Tikken but with lighter springs. Are those ever getting packaged seperately to just buy outright? I'd love lighter Tikkens for my 60HE+

[glacial wind]

yeah ur ice has blue, sakura/pink, ultra, ultra r2, extreme now

[broken notch]

Negative

[glacial wind]

honestly all of them sound the same still though lol

[verbal island]

😿

[robust siren]

only sold with the tenz 80he

[trail bane]

Tecsee 35g tactile
TTC 035
Unionwell ice
TTC Horse(black prob)
WS Pink Lotus
WS Ocean Whisper
Geon raws
Duhuk penguins

[glacial wind]

we won't be selling tenz parts separately. Maybe if enough people ask one day lighter tikkens will be a thing

[robust siren]

you can get a spring pack from wooting to spring swap tikkens though

[verbal island]

I pray everyday for lighter Tikkens, I love my light Lekker but the sound of the v1's just arent on the same level. And I'm not sure if putting lighter springs in the Tikken's just work like that

[verbal island]

does that just fit?

[broken notch]

Lekker Tikkens medium = TenZ tikkens

The spring shouldn't make a sound difference

and the materials are the very same

[robust siren]

yes

[verbal island]

then I guess this will be a side project. 70 switch spring swap

[robust siren]

you can check the tikkens product description or the springs, i forgot which but it tells you they’re compatible

[verbal island]

ah yeah you're right!

tysm

[broken notch]

These springs are specifically designed for Lekker switches and may not be compatible with other mechanical switches due to the wider stem design of the Lekker switches. These springs will probably not fit on third party switches, depending on the switch stem

[verbal island]

but they'll fit tikkens 🙂 thats all that I need

[broken notch]

Yup

Good luck soldier

[quasi hinge]

Which do you like most for stability?

[robust siren]

@trail bane did you see what my yikb 7u spacebar is doing now

[red perch]

sorry as im trying ot understand this, the Tenz keyboard sounds different here than the lekker tikkens do in your sound recording. do you know what mod or something makes that sound different?

[robust siren]

😭

[broken notch]

The board is doing that

[trail bane]

To be fair, I know balls about Unionwell switches , so I picked up the latest release I’d heard about and that people spoke well of

[broken notch]

Because I believe Sno tests with a stock alu case?

And TenZ is plastic, no?

Or am I wrong on that

[trail bane]

Damn, sounds like Pepsi can pop

[verbal island]

yeah, semi transparent black afaik, normal black on top, semi on the sides

[robust siren]

iirc he records on a 60he v2 in the optimum case

[broken notch]

Ah there you go

[red perch]

does that make all the difference or is there more? basically, i want my 60HE v1 to sound similar (or close to) to the tenz keyboard. so i want to know what things i have to purchase

[broken notch]

I don't think a 1-to-1 is possible

It's a smaller form, so the sound will be slightly different to begin with

[red perch]

similar or close to will be fine, doesnt need to be 1 to 1

[broken notch]

ASnd I'm pretty sure the 60HE v1 is stedel plate

steel

So the plate will make a big difference to start off with

[glacial wind]

Tenz is different keyboard. So of course it’ll be different

[trail bane]

Didn’t have enough time to try any of those, probably WS stuff/TTC Horse

[robust siren]

With it doing this it sounds more or less the same on both sides now

[glacial wind]

Just go with tikkens with your v2 and it’ll be closest you can get to tenz keyboard

[broken notch]

They have an OG 60HE afaik

[glacial wind]

It won’t sound exactly the same as we made sound improvements to the v2, but the switches will be the same at least

[red perch]

no need for other mods? i have the V1 though like the very first one, i have an fr4 plate though

[broken notch]

With steel plate, sno

Ah, good

Yeah, the tikkens are your best bet then

[trail bane]

What is the cause of this problem or u didn’t find yet?

[broken notch]

Everything else is already in your 60HE

[glacial wind]

Yeah just get tikkens and you’re close enough to what you can do

[robust siren]

I have no fucking idea
Yikbs have been a mystery ever since I installed them

[glacial wind]

Gore needs to save money though

Don’t spend

Fx3 ii is coming out in next few months probably

You need to save up $5k for it

[robust siren]

I need the gt-80

[chilly mural]

ahh, mouse click

[trail bane]

Switchy blanket has more value for lower price

[sly palm]

You don't even have your deliverd yet

[robust siren]

Shooting with keyboard binds

[glacial wind]

He needs the camera to take photos of switchy blanket

[trail bane]

Just soon tm

[robust siren]

Today and I pick it up Thursday

[chilly mural]

yesh yesh

[robust siren]

Ifone good enough

Except for zoom/closeups

It’s horrible

[broken notch]

I just realised I'm getting fluxes

Since I'm buying them discounted with the zoom64 package

[chilly mural]

hope to buy one someday

Iphone 17 Lavender looks soo enticing

[robust siren]

ill no longer be wootless

[chilly mural]

and I can't bet iphone 18 will have color that I want

[red perch]

last question; is there any other reason id choose for the tenz keyboard instead of getting new switches for my 60he v1?

[sly palm]

I mean what layout do you prefer more?

[robust siren]

(I have a wooting uwu but I don’t think it counts)

[red perch]

no preference at all

[glacial wind]

Different form factor, 8k poll/scan for 1ms faster latency if you care about that. Some improvements to mounting and stabilizers

[broken notch]

Layout, quality, newer hardware, to name a few

[red perch]

60 is fine but 80 just as fine

[sly palm]

not enough keys

[glacial wind]

One has tenz name on it, which means you game at 0.28% higher skill

[robust siren]

if you hit the 0.5% chance of it being signed it increases to a whole 1% more skill

[red perch]

what do i notice of improvements to the mounting and stabilizers? im really new to this, usually id just be fine with my 60he but god i need reasons to spend so much money on a tenz keyboard while my 60HE is basically fine besides the switches

[robust siren]

just consume, no thoughts

[glacial wind]

Basically the stabilizers will be tad less rattly, and mounting on 80he is a bit more forgiving than 60he tray mount

[quasi hinge]

sno, side question if I may.... What would be your top choice for gaming in terms of stability right now? (sound completely aside)

[glacial wind]

Probably horses for me. UFO are a tad less smooth feeling for me

[quasi hinge]

If I feel what you feel then I will go for those... are they reasonably priced?

[glacial wind]

they’re a bit pricy like og kom pom pricing

[little glen]

yeah they are quite expensive

but v nice

[quasi hinge]

White horse OG?

[little glen]

i also got like 5 free ttc flip in the package

[little glen]

cny and og are special editions that cost more

RGB is the one you want

[quasi hinge]

So no difference to OG etc

[little glen]

OG has some cosmetic thing and a number on it

[quasi hinge]

Okay, thank you very much

[little glen]

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006357726708.html also if anyone needs switch containers, i can recommend these

bought 6 of em

i got my horses on ali but i cant find the listing anymore

maybe they delisted for my country

I can just get them directly

[little glen]

mine was also from ttc store on ali

i saved on shipping

[regal patio]

As close to thock as you can get

[old aurora]

Guys what HE switch yall recommend for a creamy sound

[tropic urchin]

Your options are muted/quiet switches, clack, muted clack or deep clack atm for HE

[old aurora]

Ok

[tropic urchin]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message, sno has a sound test for most current switches on the market

[old aurora]

As a beginner do you think i should swap my switches??

[regal patio]

What switches you have

[old aurora]

Wooting v2 stock

[tropic urchin]

Depends if you want a different sound or less stem wobble

[old aurora]

But is it risky or nah

[tropic urchin]

You probably won’t get it perfect your first try but I wouldn’t say it’s risky

It’s all a learning process

[old aurora]

Oh ok

[tropic urchin]

Gotta start somewhere and build up your acumen/try things and see what you like

[regal patio]

Is this a creamy sound to you

[old aurora]

Will it ruin the pcb

[regal patio]

No

[old aurora]

Ok

[old aurora]

Yes

[tropic urchin]

No, Wooting is made to be 100% hotswappable down to the PCB so you can change pretty much everything else

[regal patio]

The Build is:
The stock alu wooting case
Wooting 60 he V2 module
Dye sub cherry profile keycaps
Keytok nova switches
EPDM foam
2 layer tape mod
Stock lubed stabs

[old aurora]

Ok thanks

[old aurora]

Btw what mods can i do in the case

[regal patio]

none

stock plate

[old aurora]

Does paper mod do anything

[regal patio]

Ill try it with pop

[old aurora]

I saw a vid abt it

[regal patio]

?

[old aurora]

Like putting a4 paper inside

[regal patio]

hmm

Idk this mod

[old aurora]

Ok

[lyric nimbus]

never heard of this mod

[potent tundra]

If I'm gonna swap my plate, do I have to relube the stabs? I don't have dielectric grease or lube and they r gonna take a long time to come if I order

[glacial wind]

No you don’t have to do anything to stabs unless you want to relube them

You just swap them over to your new plate

[potent tundra]

Will the lube come off if I change it?

[glacial wind]

No

[potent tundra]

Or I can just keep them the same

[potent tundra]

Also, rn I'm using a stock wooting but diff case. So if I wanna change my plate, switches and add a friction fit pad, what order do I do them in

[glacial wind]

We have guides on the YouTube for this, you’re basically taking apart the entire thing

no real order besides just taking apart entire thing if you want to change friction fit pad and plate anyway

[potent tundra]

Ok

Thanks

I thought I would have to get some sort of lube but thankfully not I think

[urban ingot]

Planning on going from stock-ish (just with Tikken switches and other keycaps) 80HE in Black to White, with FR4 plate and some “better” stabilizers.

[cloud crane]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=126384.0
Cute

[potent tundra]

R these mods good:
Tofu 60 redux
Pc plate
Friction fit
Pbtfans keycaps
Lekker tikkens
Coming from a stock 60he
( I ordered all the wooting stuff in December, now it's finally gonna come in a few days )

Or is there smt I'm missing

[ionic breach]

ya, looks gud

[quasi hinge]

This may be a dumb question but where is the switch selector in wootility?

[ionic breach]

i would get cf plate but thats my pref

[potent tundra]

Do u remember me

[ionic breach]

no my memory is only used for useless facts

[ionic breach]

beta wootility

[potent tundra]

I just wanted to minimize all the stores I bought from cuz wooting was already taking 2 months

[quasi hinge]

Ty good sir

[potent tundra]

And I liked the pc plate sound alot

Finally I can mod it in 2 days I think

[proven wadi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s3_WVwuKcw

this one looks cool 🙂

[ionic breach]

sadly the shape is something i would never touch

if it was their smaller C shape maybe

[hard hawk]

Yeahh I agree on that too, but I’m going to see if I like the high hump attachment for this, I’m getting mine soon, first I’ll see if I like the potatoe shape if not then high hump attachment

the 3d printer that i was printing my 2he at got jammed

[proven wadi]

i got the wl beast x now at like 41g, and not sure how i will like the superstrike at 61g

[lyric nimbus]

estimated completion date is now friday

😔

[quasi hinge]

Same, have the beast x as well

But im getting fomo

Might wait for a full black or a competitor

[crystal rose]

Which one did you use?

i couldn't find any good services

[crystal rose]

what about "Gonna wait for the 30 gram Titanium"

[prime orbit]

Do pink lotus need to be lubed?

[wicked vault]

Yes

[lyric nimbus]

mockup 2he converter

[fluid ravine]

Yayyy

[lyric nimbus]

i dont think there's a way to make this work in the first place

there's nothing i can use on the base here to actually anchor the top plate

ig like you can glue it onto the plate you'd permanently change it

[proven wadi]

i think i will do the same, im sure wl will come out with a version with the same tech soon, but maybe at a lower weight :p

[tropic urchin]

Until the day we get mice with rapid trigger, all you need are good optical and a comfortable shape. All other mice are kinda just the same

[lyric nimbus]

do mice even need rapid trigger

[tropic urchin]

Need is a funny word, but largely there haven’t been any crazy tech breakthroughs at all so it’s just shape/weight fomo

[lyric nimbus]

unlike kbs i thought the actuation for mice was really low

so no real benefit for rapid trigger when its like 1mm pressdown

[chilly mural]

we need it to be 0.001mm

[tropic urchin]

The argument is less so for RT specially and more until there’s something crazy added, most modern mice are largely the same sans weight and switch implementation

RT was just the first thing to come to mind

[ornate quest]

You mean this?

[quasi hinge]

Oh im waiting, I have a superlight 1 with modded skates and switches, huano blue with pink dot and a beast x… superlight is just to heavy and bulky

[quasi hinge]

It has rapid trigger I think

[sonic hull]

ya it has

i tried it today, it feels really good

[tropic urchin]

Beastx doesn’t to my knowledge unless they added it in a firmware update, superstrike was the first I’ve heard of its implementation

[quasi hinge]

Ohhh my bad… I thought you meant the new logi he

It has my attention

Just watched all the reviews

100% there will be copy cats

[tropic urchin]

God can only hope

[quasi hinge]

Gonna wait for more reviews

[quasi hinge]

👆 the Chinese will absolutely do it

[tropic urchin]

Maybe they can add it to their future subscription mice

[quasi hinge]

IP be damned

[sonic hull]

i mean he/tmr switches will be the norm in gaming mice in a year or two

[scenic summit]

for the 80he would you reccommend i put orings on the switches

or would it just be a waste

[uneven cradle]

Doubt

New Logitech mouse isn't even either of those

[scenic summit]

for the 80he would you reccommend i put orings on the switches

[oak jewel]

It feels... weird.

[sonic hull]

clicking things is a lot less effort too, i love it. I'll think on it for a bit and maybe get one myself

[oak jewel]

I'd wait a bit, they still haven't updated G hub to support it somehow

2-3 days according to their support, but you know

[sonic hull]

fine, they'll all use inductive sensors

i mean next batch wont be available here until next week so 😂

its all sold out

[tropic urchin]

You’re going to cause actuation issues if you put orings in your switches

Same with using switch foam or filming your switches, less is more in that regard

[amber dagger]

so the agar mini comes with case foam, plate foam and an ixpe sheet. should i use all 3 for the thockiest sound? i also plan on doing tape mod via keebtape

[young viper]

Have you bought the keeb tape one yet?

I bought it and wasn't a big fan of it with my v2, but you may have totally different experiences with the agar

[amber dagger]

not yet, i’m waiting for the feltmat to restock. how come you didn’t like it?

[trail bane]

TTC Horses are banger

[hexed lava]

okay,, i know this might have been asked a hundred times before lol, what are some good thocky switches recommendations?

[uneven cradle]

That's the thing there aren't any

[hexed lava]

😔 i heard raptor v2 were as close as you can get, is that true?

[sacred elm]

not even close

[hexed lava]

LMAO yeah i read so many diff stuff online its crazy

[sacred elm]

probably keytok nova, wuque flux ocean whisper (not available without buying their module), gravastar ufo with the right build is the closest you'll get right now

[ornate quest]

Don't know what you're still missing, G Hub had updates > 2 hours ago that enabled Superstrike stuff

[hexed lava]

i see, thanks a lot for that, im gon look more into those!

[young viper]

It arrived fully unstuck from the piece of paper, and I didn't really have a noticable sound difference vs just standard painters tape

[hexed lava]

any other legit places to buy the gravastar ufo’s? currently not in stock on the wbesite

[oak jewel]

Oh weird, wasn't on earlier in the afternoon and someone reached out to support and told them a couple days

Guess I've just shared misinformation on the internet again

[sacred elm]

Not sure about that. Maybe wait for their restock or get Novas? They're quieter and deeper than UFOs

[young viper]

I've heard there's a seller on ali selling different colored ufos but no clue what the deal is with them.

Oop nvm they're like 130 on there for 65 lmao

[marsh saffron]

💀 💀

[polar girder]

Novas? Jesus bro I’m so out of the loop

[tropic urchin]

Catch up unc

[scenic summit]

I shouldn’t as I use .1 mm but I was more wondering on the feel of the orings

[quasi hinge]

Tmall then paste on super buy

[harsh dove]

How are these UFOs anyway

I’m behind

[tropic urchin]

The only ppl that usually ask are the ppl that want their keyboard as silent as possible. It probably would feel like there’s rubber impeding your press but I haven’t tried

[tropic urchin]

Louder Deep clack flux with some more added pop to them

[sacred elm]

bery good

[harsh dove]

Stable?

[quasi hinge]

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

paste into superbuy

[tropic urchin]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

Interesting

[sacred elm]

very, without sacrificing sound

they're very poppy

[tropic urchin]

I’d say they’re probably like A+/S stability

[harsh dove]

Might check em out at some point

They look interesting

[sacred elm]

you can't open them so keep that in mind

[tropic urchin]

I’ll let you know how I do with POM/PP

[sacred elm]

but they're good stock

[harsh dove]

Oh gotcha

[scenic summit]

It’s quiet but I’m not sure as knowone uses them

[harsh dove]

Like the Mount Tais I got

But better than those lol

[amber dagger]

we’re you using painters tape before hand?

[sacred elm]

oh yeah lol

[tropic urchin]

No one uses them bc you’re nerfing your keyboard using them

[scenic summit]

Ok got it

Thx

[pliant tinsel]

Just ordered a fr4 plate Will i notice a big difference compared to the stock steel one?

[tropic urchin]

@harsh dove Wuque diamonds are releasing at some point too. Make sure to put a good word in with Wuque for free samples 😭

[young viper]

I did painter, then keeb, then keeb with painters. Only real difference I noticed was painters and keeb, but that's only cause it was muted as all heck

[sacred elm]

yes

steel is very loud

[pliant tinsel]

Yea it is

Now imagine it with my ufos

[sacred elm]

😭

[pliant tinsel]

That thing is loud

[amber dagger]

what does just keebtape sound like

[young viper]

I never took a recording so I don't know

To me sounded the exact same as painters

[urban ingot]

I just bought the Novas since I'm not willing to pay ~$270 for UFO's for enough for my 80HE?

[sacred elm]

270?

[urban ingot]

$263 US that's not including tax or shipping.

If I bought them anywhere other than Gravastar which never has them in stock.

[sacred elm]

Yeah, that price is insane

[urban ingot]

90 Novas was $139. I'm willing to stomach that. I bought them directly from Keytok. Didn't think I'd get a better price anywhere else.

[amber dagger]

@young viper it’s not really supposed to be different to painters tape mod.

[urban ingot]

I guess I could have gotten them for a little less from Torontokb. But the FR4 plate I got from them had a pretty high shipping fee for me.

[young viper]

Yeah at that point it's just easier to buy a $3 roll painter's tape lol

[trail bane]

Hmm

[sacred elm]

why is Flux B+ and Mobius A-

They're same switches

[amber dagger]

are you running painters and keebtape now?

[trail bane]

Magnet makes difference(especially on rakka)

To be updated

[sacred elm]

W calibration

[trail bane]

Count this like 1.5 and 1.75 type shi

[regal patio]

Keytok nova's or gravastar ufo are yours best bet

[crystal rose]

ypu can mod it?

[regal patio]

I have a sound test of the keytok nova's

[crystal rose]

Hows the v2 worse

[regal patio]

The Build is:
The stock alu wooting case
Wooting 60 he V2 module
Dye sub cherry profile keycaps
Keytok nova switches
EPDM foam
2 layer tape mod
Stock lubed stabs

[regal patio]

Sounds slightly better in person

[regal patio]

Wtf is unionwell ice obsidian

never heard of those

also how does that name make sense

[sacred elm]

worse than what

[ionic breach]

v2 came before tikken

its v1 - v1.5 - v2 - tikken

[stoic ocean]

Do you know this Unionwell switch?

they are similar to those in partnership with titan nation

[sacred elm]

unionwell releasing 50 switches every month

[ionic breach]

unionwell heists?

heist lekkers are yellow and purple right?

[sacred elm]

ye

[stoic ocean]

They plan to release a switch with a stem similar to the Wuque Flux and another unusual one with a dome

[young viper]

Nope, just painters, keeb added too much thickness that I wasn't able to properly friction mount

[stoic ocean]

I still don't understand this switch

[ionic breach]

looks cool

wonder if it cost similar to ufos

I don't know, I think it's an EC/HE modifier

[regal patio]

[lime dove]

has anyone tried making their own 80he case yet with the dimensions provided from Wooting? Im considering trying to do a different coloured plastic case, like a dark purple or green see thru like their ghost/frost abs cases.

[stoic ocean]

They're the best Switches anyway, I suspected it as soon as I saw them

[lyric nimbus]

no but i am actively trying to make a 2HE case

let me take a look though

[stoic ocean]

@fluid ravine I'll receive it this Friday my Vella

I've been waiting for a total of 8 months

MAN WHY COULDNT THEY GIVE ME THIS SHIT FOR THE 2HE STEP FILE

looks injection molded

doesn't look too hard to make a case that's machineable though

u can probably make a design that's just a box and build upon it like me

if u just make a case out of pure ABS and mill it (which i would mill out of PC instead) it'd probably cost like uhh

$200-ish?

[stoic ocean]

Did you design the keyboard?

[lyric nimbus]

no but i designed a case for the 2HE for myself

[stoic ocean]

2he?

[lyric nimbus]

the fullsize

[stoic ocean]

Is that magnetic?

[lyric nimbus]

screws

im not designing anything magnetic when it comes to HE kbs

[stoic ocean]

I'd also like to make keyboards based on themes I really like, such as dark fantasy, the Wild West, primitive stuff, etc.

I just don't know how to go about it, but I know it's too expensive lol

Only 8 months

Lightwork

[cloud crane]

The good old days

[stoic ocean]

Now I'm going to wait for my 2 Gehirns

in 8 to 9 months, damn

[uneven cradle]

We still waiting apparently should be shipping by the end of this week

[little glen]

what is this haha

[wicked vault]

damn is it possible for lube to wear off so quickly

i feel like keyboard already sounds a lot more higher pitched

especially the qwerasd keys

[little glen]

lube settles over time

and more on the more used keys

[wicked vault]

its only been a week tho

sad

now it sounds kinda really high pitched

[harsh dove]

Keycap Cereal 🥣 anyone?

[little glen]

Goddamn

That still didnt ship??

[uneven cradle]

Shipped to most people I think now but mines been delayed because my updated PCB (which also caused delays because they remade them all) took the slow boat to my vendor

Funny thing is I'm not even going to use the stock PCB I have a mechlovin I bought for it already

@cyan zodiac pack it up

[little glen]

Goddamn

Guess i got lucky with my group buys

Longest ive had was like 6 months?

Yours is more like 18

[uneven cradle]

Has been a little while was estimated to start shipping in March 2025 initially

[cyan zodiac]

2 month for you

[tropic urchin]

I was thinking of doing that this week, bros stealing my CC and thoughts

[fluid ravine]

gimme someee

[worn field]

Tenz 80he just arrived

[fluid ravine]

not very tenz to me
jk nice build

[sacred elm]

elevenz

[sly palm]

the cooler tenz version

imo

[fluid ravine]

holy fk i forgot he existed

[fluid ravine]

what the fuck

you figured out why it doing that?

[sturdy rock]

Ayyy

ATP it’s not even a tenz 80 he

[fluid ravine]

indeed lol

[worn field]

yea true

just using the tenz switches and ig the profile

[fluid ravine]

and the plate

[worn field]

^^

[crimson widget]

Hey guys, I'm planning on picking up a used Wooting 60HE PCB, its been used for about 2 years now for about 50$. Would that be worth it and how long do PCBS usually last before they break if they even break at all?

[fluid ravine]

they shouldn't break at all unless you actually do break it on purpose lol

[crimson widget]

Okay thanks!

[fluid ravine]

if you can't afford a brand new wooting then yeah ig its worth it esp for $50

is it just the pcb alone?

[crimson widget]

Well it also comes with the switches

but they are the ones from the original 60HE

I might switch them out for owlab ti or geon raws

[fluid ravine]

well you can basically upgrade plate, case, and all that goodies

[crimson widget]

i'd love to get a new wooting but with an aluminium case it would be like 230

[fluid ravine]

o

[crimson widget]

is there a huge difference between the 60he and 60he v2? or is it mainly being able to do screw in stabs and 8k polling rate

[fluid ravine]

basically that's it

[crimson widget]

are screw in stabs even worth upgrading for

[fluid ravine]

60he v2 also has cutouts for these lil bumpons to separate the pcb and case contact as well

[crimson widget]

arent there plenty of good plate mounted ones

[fluid ravine]

i mean sure yeah you can lube a set up just fine if you do it properly

screw in stabs are just a lot more stable and the new gen ones are more easier to tune and require less lube and all that

[crimson widget]

ohh i see

thanks

[fluid ravine]

yup

[crimson widget]

appreciate the help

[fluid ravine]

no problem

[crimson widget]

i think i'll pick it up and tinker with it for a bit

[fluid ravine]

alright good luck

[young viper]

Has anyone noticed scratchy feelings with their tikkens? Probably 3 months in and they totally have a scratchy feeling to them.

[glacial wind]

never heard that one before

Only with lekkers for people really heavy usage and sensitive to feel from the lube leakage, but tikkens been great for me feel wise

There’s no hole for lube leak so not sure why they’d get scratchy for you

[crimson widget]

are any of the films, foams, or plates available for purchase to be used on the original 60he? or are they strictly for 60hev2

[quasi hinge]

Yes but the superlight light 1 and you need to solder. Makes it better than stock. I also changed the skates to tiger ice v2… I have the beast x now for gaming. But I still use the superlight 1 as the battery never dies…

However with hall effect mice coming out, ill soon be switching…

[sacred elm]

Friction fit pad is available separately

[uneven cradle]

Not hall effect 👀
That would be terrible for battery life

[quasi hinge]

Sorry, whatever technology is being used in the new logitech mouse
