[broken notch]

They're the same pics hehe

[regal patio]

Thats what i said

[humble surge]

ahh okay, didnt really inspect

[broken notch]

I think Gore might got them mixed up

I'm buying the RGB ones on the right here

[robust siren]

im just saying what sno said

[regal patio]

Hmmm

[broken notch]

Sno doesn't have RGBs yet

I talked to him this morning

[broken notch]

Oh

[robust siren]

im not schizo

i swear

[regal patio]

Thats the material nova's are made of

[humble surge]

ordered btw, figured if theres only 3 left, i wouldnt want to miss out

[regal patio]

Its an alternative to PC kinda

In switches

Clear and smooth

[broken notch]

Nice!

[sacred elm]

deep clack flux isn't pa12

[robust siren]

i havent slept and i dont think sno did either when he sent that

[regal patio]

Its pa66

I believe

[ionic breach]

pink lotus is 12

[humble surge]

yep

[regal patio]

The successor

Kinda

[humble surge]

more like the sidechick

[robust siren]

anyways kois have cleaner top out compared to og/dcf imo

[regal patio]

Thats the case with pa12

[broken notch]

But...Gore has pa66 og KOIs haha

Not RGBs

I am so confused

[regal patio]

Oh i thought he was talking about RGB ones

[robust siren]

i have the pink ones, yes

[regal patio]

My bad lol

[humble surge]

i'm also confusion

[broken notch]

Those are the OG ones

KOI made two switches

The RGB being the newest

[regal patio]

Is PA12 a material used in silent switches?

[broken notch]

I think it's mostly translucent, no?

[regal patio]

It is

[robust siren]

i didnt see the koi rgbs back in jan when i was ordering shit off taobao

[humble surge]

i'm eating so i cant get to product pages to check fast

[broken notch]

They are new, yeah

[robust siren]

i did look for magnetic switches in general and i couldnt find anymore than i already found

i guess i had to know the names of the specific switches

[humble surge]

It's available after your visit

you just missed it

[robust siren]

dcf was just as expensive as it is on aliex

and so were the other fluxes so i didnt get them

[broken notch]

https://m.superbuy.com/en/goods/detail/index?url=https%253A%252F%252Fitem.taobao.com%252Fitem.htm%253Fid%253D1008859939297

[humble surge]

on TB the Flux series doesn't seem to get any cuts, for whatever reason in their case AliExpress is the better deal

I know this because i've been monitoring it since i first got DCF recommended.
Same for Pink Lotti, same for Green DCF

[regal patio]

Has anyone tried the RGB koi?

[broken notch]

I'm buying them next week

[regal patio]

Nice

[robust siren]

im the only one who has any of the kois atm

[broken notch]

Gotto wait for payday lmao

[humble surge]

You are yeah

Like i was alone with UFO invasion for a whole of two weeks kek

[robust siren]

i have a few recordings

[cloud crane]

Can't buy now anyways coz CNY

[broken notch]

Ufo ufo ufo

[regal patio]

The first member of the future Koi church

[humble surge]

yeah CNY, the dark adversary of February

[broken notch]

Embolia was the deciding factor for me to get UFOs

[humble surge]

No shot

[broken notch]

Yes shot

[humble surge]

well i'M just happy you got something you like

[robust siren]

this is it in a properly built keyboard

[broken notch]

I love them

[regal patio]

What is better

[robust siren]

im still not happy with how it sounds in the 80he

[regal patio]

UFO or novas

[humble surge]

I can't wait for silvers

[broken notch]

I believe Embolia has both

[humble surge]

might get pink aswell, it's just not really my color

[regal patio]

I think nova's are better

[broken notch]

They're both the same pricepoint so eh

It's personal flavour imo

[humble surge]

For me they are head to head, same stability, one is quieter and has brighter RGB, the other has a nice and distinct sound and a bit nicer feel.

Still using Nova set right now

Until Silver Mist arrives

[broken notch]

Noice

I got the zoom64 case

[humble surge]

I'm getting a case aswell with the Silver Mists

^^

[broken notch]

And really want to try the koi rgb with the new case

[cloud crane]

Hope meletrix doesn't fuck up the ano

[humble surge]

Might get those two

a few more lined up this month while we wait

[broken notch]

I bought through a partner store

[humble surge]

and this i guess

[broken notch]

So I pray it all works out

[haughty shoal]

UFO's are out of stock

[regal patio]

I buy switches once a year so I wont be buying anything any time soon

[cloud crane]

Well I was referring to meletrix qc not their vendors

🤔

[broken notch]

Ah

I just hope the dial works well >.>

[cloud crane]

🙏

[robust siren]

i wanna see what theyre cooking for the gt60 v2

[humble surge]

I hope i can fit one or two sets of keycaps aswell into March, then the board will get a complete makeover finally

[robust siren]

i pray for ball catch

[cloud crane]

That's under kbdfans no

[robust siren]

yeah

not the gateron gt60

[humble surge]

ohh thanks for reminding me, need to get the GT-80 case and the brush from KBDFans

[cloud crane]

Tofu 3.0 full size incoming 👀

[regal patio]

Y'all guys spend way too much on keyboards lol

[cloud crane]

Keyboard hobby do be like that

At least we're not Norbauer level

[humble surge]

Yes, currently mice and keyboards are my cope mechanism

[robust siren]

each one of my keyboards have been 500+ after builds the only exception is the 80he

[broken notch]

The world is bad, but keyboard is nice

[humble surge]

Better than stickers or some other sh1t imo

[robust siren]

i dont have an 80he case yet

[regal patio]

I still wonder why people keep coming here and asking are Jade Pro switches the best

Thats sad

[humble surge]

Also don't vape/cig, drink heavy or take drugs, so it's a great way to get busy, trying new tech all the time that is kept so fresh by the industry.

Between work that is

[haughty shoal]

Tbf when you search whats the best their one of the first to pop up

[regal patio]

AI says they are the best

[cloud crane]

Always AI

[broken notch]

AI lies

[regal patio]

So 90% of the population wont do the research themselves

[haughty shoal]

Our AI Overlords are miss leading the people

[regal patio]

Also the AI answers to google searches are wild

[humble surge]

I'm watching Westworld lately, i can confirm

[cloud crane]

Btw when discord global id verification rolls out will y'all still be here 🤔

[humble surge]

Yes

I'm not letting go of the account due to sillyness

[regal patio]

I was googling some ancient Egyptians texts and AI answers That ancient Egyptians were gays

[regal patio]

There is a vencord code to skip that

[cloud crane]

I'm down to let go of discord

Vencord is fine

[regal patio]

Just use the code

[humble surge]

I don't have as effective of alternatives or know a better place to connect today, so i'm stayin.

[cloud crane]

I'm more "tech savvy" so I know a couple decent alternatives

Even if they aren't as convenient as discord

Its worth a switch in my opinion

[regal patio]

What options?

[cloud crane]

Matrix, XMPP, Teamspeak, Fluxer

Many more

Stoat too

[ionic breach]

lowkey bannable topic

[regal patio]

Probably no one uses them

[cloud crane]

?

Oh plenty do, organizations, hobbyists, developers, even casual folks

[regal patio]

Never heard of those so idk

Maybe in east Europe no one uses them

[cloud crane]

Well it won't come up in casual google searches that is

Except teamspeak

[scenic mango]

when are Light Tikken switches coming out or TenZ TikkenZ sold separately?

[regal patio]

Never

[cloud crane]

They won't be sold seperately

[regal patio]

Unless wooting makes lighter tickens

Which isnt any time soon

You can use a lekker ticken with a custom spring

[humble surge]

Wooting can't make lighter thicckens

[scenic mango]

Seems kinda dumb to not do that?
Lots of people using L45 v2s who want to switch to Tikkens but with the same lightness

[regal patio]

Thats your best bet probably

[regal patio]

Ye

[scenic mango]

No they are gonna come out with a Tikken L45 at some point

[regal patio]

Maybe wooting listens

[broken notch]

Based on what

[regal patio]

Not any time soon

Sadly

[scenic mango]

Based on that it makes sense

[broken notch]

It doesn't make sense

[humble surge]

My dreams and wishes ofcourse!

one would say "fantasies"

[broken notch]

You wanting it does not equate making sense

[scenic mango]

Does any of you actually have a source for it not happening?

[broken notch]

Yes, go to wooting.io and check the store

[humble surge]

yes source:
"trust me bro"

[haughty shoal]

Are the Spring Packs compatible with the Lekker Tikken Mediums?

[broken notch]

You will find only lekker tikkens medium

[scenic mango]

"It doesn't exist right now so it will never exist"

What is wrong with you guys?

[broken notch]

What is wrong with you

[humble surge]

Many things, whats wrong with you lil bro?

[scenic mango]

So pessimistic

[regal patio]

Wooting said so in the wooting update vid

[scenic mango]

I believe they will come

[broken notch]

You came in here spouting the same crap I responded with

[scenic mango]

Give timestamp

[regal patio]

They arent making light lekker tickens any time soon

[broken notch]

We're not your personal google

[scenic mango]

Yes you are

[regal patio]

Go to the wooting

Channel

[scenic mango]

Link vid and timestamp

[humble surge]

I can be, but not many people have the privilege

[potent tundra]

guys are orings good for the sound and also what are some other mods that are cheap and have a good impact beside tape mod

[regal patio]

I dont remember when it was

Its a short vid

4 min

You can go through it yourself

[broken notch]

No and no

[scenic mango]

"trust me bro, just don't remember"

[broken notch]

Mods are for sound, not impact

[chilly mural]

It gotta exist even without cause it comes to me in a dream

[humble surge]

I do prefer to be an independent google for now

[chilly mural]

Don't be so pessimistic

[scenic mango]

I don't believe in ChillingCat

[potent tundra]

wait so there are no cheap mods that make the sound better? and orings also dont have any good effect for the sound?

[scenic mango]

But my believe in Wooting knows no bounds

[humble surge]

ChillingCat is great

[broken notch]

Orings often screw with calibration

When applied willy nilly and not tought through

[potent tundra]

so are there any oter cheap mods for sound? beside tape mod

[regal patio]

Fill the spacebar with tape

[humble surge]

Wooting knows no knobs either, thats the sad part

[regal patio]

Or foam

[potent tundra]

i put foam

[broken notch]

Foam in your spacebar. Yes

[regal patio]

Or tape

[broken notch]

Greasing your stabs

[chilly mural]

My believes in Chilling cat knows no bound

[potent tundra]

beside that?

[broken notch]

Not really

[humble surge]

https://tenor.com/view/chill-baby-cat-kitten-kitty-gif-16226945

[regal patio]

Plate

[broken notch]

He said cheap

[regal patio]

But thats not cheap

[broken notch]

So I assume less than 10 bucks :v

[potent tundra]

rn i modded with pc plate

from the stock steel plate

[humble surge]

damn, i was a whole 0 off :(

[regal patio]

Keyboard modding is an expensive hobby

[potent tundra]

i just wanna see if theres any like mods i can do that r quick and cheap

[broken notch]

Check the #🪛│modding_faq

Your question is literally answered in there

[regal patio]

Uusually

[humble surge]

meanginful mods are usually, that is

[potent tundra]

bro for some reason this tag thing keeps hiding until i click on it

[humble surge]

although you could upgrade switches a 4 pack at a time, eventually for a whole set.
Start with your most vital keys :D

[potent tundra]

ok forget abt cheap, so far i modded plate, case, keycaps, switches, and added a friction fit pad, are there any other mods ( both cheap and not cheap ) that make a big impact

sound wise

[broken notch]

You're approaching it the wrong way

It's the sum of all parts

Not a big impact sorta deal

[haughty shoal]

Some also remove the PET film

[potent tundra]

so like is there anything that makes any impact thats not zero?

[humble surge]

everything is non-zero

just some items are closer to zero than others

[broken notch]

Check. The. Faq.

[potent tundra]

bro it keeps going away

[humble surge]

yes she does

wait what

[potent tundra]

its not loading for me

and then if i click out of it, it disappears

[humble surge]

#🪛│modding_faq message start there maybe

[potent tundra]

for some reason it isnt loading am i doing smt wrong

[humble surge]

idk, but it's too long for me to screenshot it all for you

keep trying

[quiet ginkgo]

is the diff between lekker l60 v1.5 and v2 high?

i tried googling

cant find anything

[ionic breach]

no

[glacial wind]

Basically doesn’t matter

You can treat them as same thing for most part

[quiet ginkgo]

thanks guys

[lyric nimbus]

printer jammed... AGAIN

gg

[tidal ridge]

You happen to have a link to the soundtests?

[glacial wind]

Latest post in modding faq channel

[regal patio]

That's my current build with the keytok nova's

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

[lyric nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-cat-gif-15328663

where is KNOB

[tidal ridge]

Ok this is tuff

Ill have a look at the other switches rq

[tidal ridge]

thx

[humble surge]

Knob when
GMK Selene when
UFO Pink restock when

[quiet ginkgo]

do even o rings need a proper brand or can I just buy them from aliexpress

[amber dagger]

why do people say hall effect can’t be thocky. this is thocky ^

[sly palm]

HE board can get "close" to being "thocky" but not as much as other boards

[ionic breach]

cos that one is lowkey just vibrations from his desk from using a desk mic

[tulip rapids]

cat knob

[ionic breach]

or at least thats what it sounds like

[amber dagger]

has anyone tried the squisHE x pantheon switches?

[thorn zealot]

im sure someone here has

but since they are manu by hmx

im guessin they are just like the other newer hmx he switches

[uneven cradle]

Think Jed was being sent some but don't think the have arrived yet, but yeah likely very similar to the other hmx HE switches

[regal patio]

They sounded kinda clicky

In the squashy sound test

[regal patio]

The spacebar is just really deep

I put 4 layers of kilmat in it

[regal patio]

When i get my Poron foam and a POM plate the board will become as deep as it gets

[west ore]

Do you know any discount for wooting?

[vagrant aspen]

DISCORD DISCOUNT

much savings

[sly palm]

hell yea 0% off

[jolly olive]

are those caps worth it?

[lyric nimbus]

i like them but theyre definitely a love it or hate it thing

[fluid ravine]

Agreed

I listened through my phone and yea didn't hear most of it. Once I switched over to my iems it was mostly vibrations

[cinder spruce]

are there any good aftermarket sandwich pads ? for 60he

[pine ivy]

is it possible to use low profile keycaps with wooting 80he? i'm assuing it is.

what low profile keycaps are good-- preferably ones with barely any gap between keys

[sacred elm]

Low profile keycaps will work but they'll look like mushrooms on your Wooting, switches and plate will be exposed

[pine ivy]

ah i see

is there a way to prevent that?

[sacred elm]

Why aftermarket when Wooting sells friction fit pad?

[pine ivy]

i mean tbh it doesn't have to be low profile as long as the gaps in between keys is filled

[sacred elm]

No, you're putting low profile keycaps on normal switches, it'll always look like that

[pine ivy]

are there any regular switches where the gaps in between normal keys are filled?

similar to low profile keybinds

[sacred elm]

Gap will always be there. Does the white plate bother you or what

[pine ivy]

nah, i want to be able to "slide" my fingers between keys

simjilar to a membrane or laptop keyboard

[young viper]

cerakeys finally arrived in the US

[glass dragon]

Might be better off with a low-profile HE board if the gap is a big issue.

[trail bane]

Gn

[young viper]

Has anyone had experience with keybay? For some reason novas are like 30 bucks cheaper there

[crimson widget]

anybody have a owlab ti he build with sound test? what mods did yall use

[glacial wind]

Check modding faq. They’re in the sound test database

[pliant tinsel]

Yall think PC plate would be a good choice for my build ? i still got the stock plate and i got the optimum case, ufos and friction pad

[young viper]

Wouldn't be bad, PC typically emphasizes deeper sounds anyways

[pliant tinsel]

Ordered a fr4 plate from ali but accidently ordered a screw in stab one and i dont got the motivation to buy new screw in stabs and then buy like lube for it and a lube set 💔

[young viper]

Wooting has screw in stabs

You can just use the stock stabs

[sacred elm]

Prebuilt 60HE no

[young viper]

Oh yeah I guess you're right with just the base 60he

[pliant tinsel]

Yea got prebuilt one sadly

yea

Forgot to mention that; my bad

[sacred elm]

it's not hard to lube and assemble screw in stabs tho, and it's cheaper than buying pc plate I think?

[pliant tinsel]

Shipping is my enemy

wanted to buy the sw knight v4 but ended up with shipping i think at like 30-35

[sacred elm]

maybe typeplus stabs are cheaper for you

check them too

[pliant tinsel]

Will check thanks

OH YEAA DAMNN

Ends up beeing like 1 euro more than the pc plate

[sacred elm]

Typeplus might not fit in the Wooting plate, but if your aftermarket FR4 plate is screw in stab only, then they should be fully compatible

[pliant tinsel]

Alright, thank you !

[undone sentinel]

I’d like to ask if anyone has purchased the Optimum Case recently.
Has the bottom of the case been updated with support pillars for V2?

[limber jetty]

it was $46 shipping for me 😭

and takes a week to ship. this the kinda thing that makes u want to move out of australia

[pliant tinsel]

Oh my god😭

Thats tragic

[quasi hinge]

Something unexpected came in today…

[regal patio]

Nice!

The best looking UFO's imo

[untold wigeon]

Gravstar makes the weirdest stuff form an aesthetic point of view

[chilly mural]

mmm, many package but at least most part there is recyable

[untold wigeon]

they consistantly hit that venom asthethic

[quasi hinge]

Too much plastic

[untold wigeon]

thats the best way I can descrive it

[quasi hinge]

The only thing I may like from them is the UFO switches

Everything else is kinda weird or over the top

[quasi hinge]

Fits my build

[untold wigeon]

the GPU pricing is agregious as hell

I get that you pay a premium for the looks of it, like paying for an all white asus or sapphire

[glacial wind]

that was updated a long time ago before v2 launch

[untold wigeon]

but god, not THAT muuch lemme pull it up actually

[glacial wind]

was a silent change in the optimum case, as it was minor we never announced it

[untold wigeon]

900 for the 9070xt in july, completely sold out too

there are people out there spending 900 for a 9070xt from gravstar

[quasi hinge]

I was able to sell my 4090 almost for what I paid in this market and got a 5090 before prices went up

Was waiting for the wireview pro 2 from thermal grizzly to come out to start the build

[untold wigeon]

that IS an upside I'll say of the current market

my PC for parts right now would fetch more for what I paid for it in Aug 2025

mostly the RAM, SSD and GPU

[quasi hinge]

No stock for many GPUs here locally

[untold wigeon]

Ive heard rumblings that PSU prices would go up soon as well

so add that to the list

[regal patio]

Im planning to buy a new phone

And it's freaking 100$ more

Without any improvements

Cuz the ram

[chilly mural]

at this point shits on pc going to be soo expensive we have to buy something outside of PC

[regal patio]

[broken notch]

Woah!

[chilly mural]

hoping to snag iphone 17 soon, at least I know that won't increase in price since it already released.

[quasi hinge]

Ram price I paid for back in Oct was 300 or less for 64gb of ddr5. Now its over 1000$ here

[regal patio]

Ye

[untold wigeon]

rent a PC! espically when we dont have the infra to do that in the US atleast

[regal patio]

Im buying a S26 Ultra

[chilly mural]

My place barely has anybody with rtx 3060 desktop, I doubt renting is going to be viable.

At least I'm set (rhythm game wise) when it comes to PC gaming

[robust siren]

i got the 9070xt on launch day but still paid over msrp because well board partners doing board partner things

[untold wigeon]

I refuse to upgrade my phone till apple makes a new mini

[regal patio]

They won't

[untold wigeon]

I know :C

I love my 13 mini

[chilly mural]

you never know, maybe enough old people will ask for it to the point they may just make another one

[regal patio]

It sold poorly

[untold wigeon]

it wont be, but the companies will push the market to it. Its more profitable

[regal patio]

Sadly

[untold wigeon]

see but Im assuming it was an XFX, Sapphire or a PowerCooler

[regal patio]

I wish Samsung actually cared about the S26 phone

[untold wigeon]

Gravstar for 900 is just a joke

[robust siren]

gigabyte aorus

[regal patio]

So I could have a great 6.2 inch phone

[robust siren]

ts is massive

[regal patio]

But that's not the case

[quasi hinge]

Planned obsolescence, when do you hit the update wall?

[untold wigeon]

even gigabyte is a decent deal

[regal patio]

Since Samsung doesn't upgrade their phone apart from the ultra

[untold wigeon]

but buying from gravstar is like spending 900 for a 5070ti from inno3d

WHICH they sell at depressingly

[robust siren]

heres my other gpus in the box
left is a 3060
right is a 2070 super

[regal patio]

They haven't changed anything apart from the looks and the chipset in 5 years I think

[untold wigeon]

Im assuming 2028?

[quasi hinge]

No idea

[robust siren]

rip evga gpus

[chilly mural]

man, a lot of dooming in woot's discord recently.

[untold wigeon]

regardless, it holds up decently still

so no complaints

might get one when I buy a new ipad maybe

I REALLY wanna get my hands on a pro, the ipad has become my go-to entertainment device

[robust siren]

yeah at least it uses the 8 pin still

[robust siren]

can confirm, ipad pro is epic for the tandem oled

[quasi hinge]

Red magic?

You can play mobile games with s keyboard and mouse

And still look like s mobile player lol

[untold wigeon]

Nah, the phones right?

the gaming ones?

[quasi hinge]

The tablets

Not the phones

[untold wigeon]

they make tablets? did not know

[quasi hinge]

Need a usb c dongle and you are set

[untold wigeon]

but nah, I like my ipad because it goes well with my macbook and mac mini

[quasi hinge]

Plus kvm and easy setup with monitor, mouse and keeb

[untold wigeon]

sidecar is nice, handoff works well

yea, I keep my PC around to game and for cuda work I remote into from the macs

[broken notch]

I completely missed tablets as a thing

I have owned 1, and that's it

I just use my phone

[robust siren]

i totally forgot about these

earphones from the plane

i havent used them yet

[broken notch]

Big quality, I'm sure

[quasi hinge]

@humble surge

[robust siren]

this might be peak audio

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin say byebye to your $500 top pros

[broken notch]

How much was the flight ticket

That's their cost

[young viper]

900 dollar audio experience

[robust siren]

i think it was somewhere between 1200-1500

i forgot exactly

[untold wigeon]

It’s great as a student, I’ve considered selling my MacBook. Regardless of iPad or tablets, the form factor is great for light on the go computing, notes and as a little media device

TVs are kinda meh for me too, I prefer to chill in bed with the iPad nowadays

[broken notch]

I always just remote on my phone 💀

[young viper]

Hook those mf's up to a amp and listen to them pop😈

[sly palm]

1200-1500$?

[untold wigeon]

Could do that too, but the larger screen helps as well

[robust siren]

for a 20 hour flight, and its the cheaper option since its a transfer flight

[untold wigeon]

I got the Magic Keyboard specifically to remote into my pc with

[sly palm]

It's still hella expensive

[robust siren]

i bought a bt wireless keyboard for my ipad and found that i rarely use it
thankfully i didnt drop $350 on the apple one

[quasi hinge]

Red magic tablets are special for the game I play. Cod m BR mode. All you need is a usb c extender dongle and you can setup your mouse/keeb and still look like a mobile player. Then use a kvm switch to move back and forth between PC and tablet for monitor, mouse and keeb.

[sly palm]

Like I can't tell if it's way cheaper in the EU but usually i hear lower prices

[broken notch]

Oh my god, my custom keycaps are in the country now

[young viper]

The cerakeys got to la today

[broken notch]

I made these

[young viper]

Oh shit Jurassic park

That's sick

[robust siren]

too much to spend money on, not enough money to spend

i wanna get quite a few things

that can easily total up to 600+

[young viper]

I'm realizing that I'm going to have to Frankenswitch a koi to get it to be able to support the cerakey spacebat

[robust siren]

spring swap it

[broken notch]

I'm getting the RGBs this friday

[young viper]

Yeah, I'm just gonna nab one from the founder switches

[broken notch]

I also want to get knight stabs

[robust siren]

the length should be fine but idk about storing diameter

[broken notch]

But for a split v2 you need to buy two kits, right?

[young viper]

Yep sadly

[young viper]

Idk we're gonna see

[robust siren]

you can do yikb 100% kit

[broken notch]

You're talking shit abiut yikb

[robust siren]

but i personally have a thing against my yikbs

[broken notch]

I don't want them now

[robust siren]

only the 7u spacebar

[broken notch]

Oh

[robust siren]

it sounds fine now but like… mouse click spacebar

bet you havent seen this in a keyboard before

[fluid ravine]

SKAILLL ISOOOOOOOOOOOO

[robust siren]

HOW

LITERALLY HOW

[fluid ravine]

i unno

[robust siren]

how does a stab even do this

[young viper]

Tf is that mouseclick

How

[fluid ravine]

i've had it before but dont remember which stab

def not my yikb

[young viper]

Bros keyboard is turning into a membrane keyboard

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[robust siren]

im 90% sure it doesnt have anything to do with the fact its gasket mounted

[broken notch]

Also decided on a brass plate

[fluid ravine]

wait is it like this right now or did you already like switched out of it

[robust siren]

it was recorded like last week

i havent swapped or taken it out yet

[young viper]

It has to be flexing the pcb somehow and making it seem like it's clicking

[fluid ravine]

can i get pictures by chance

[robust siren]

pcb is pretty stiff

[fluid ravine]

on how your stabs look rn

screw

housing

everything

on the board

[young viper]

Plot twist

[robust siren]

well… its not in the best shape rn

[young viper]

No stab

[fluid ravine]

wtv bub

[robust siren]

literally everything is stripped off the bakka

[fluid ravine]

huh

[robust siren]

its in pieces lmao because i couldnt be assed to add switches back

[fluid ravine]

oh

dayum

[robust siren]

BUT

[fluid ravine]

butt?

[robust siren]

i am thinking of doing a lil sum to the 80he

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

if i got time i might redo baka

6.25u spacebar cf plate

round 2

[broken notch]

Get a zoom64

[robust siren]

like you want pics of just the pcb and stab

taking off the plate?

[untold wigeon]

Might be getting my 80he back yay!

[robust siren]

never letting go of this case

[untold wigeon]

got my sister to ship it back down with a small bribe

now I need to get new tikkens for it

[robust siren]

lost in shipping

[untold wigeon]

Id die

actually

[robust siren]

[untold wigeon]

I wouldnt be suprised thi

california USPS is a special kind of incompetent

[fluid ravine]

dont have to nah

just pcb stab

[untold wigeon]

I SWEAR UPS is paying them to be shitty under the table

[robust siren]

ok if i remember

[untold wigeon]

UPS is everywhere in this state and just keeps growing

they even turned my local regional airport that was mostly a flight school and military museum runway into a proper sorting station

[young viper]

They are, and fedex

[robust siren]

ive sent a few light packages to friends in other countries using ups

[young viper]

Fucking hate fedex

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine nevermind i just remembered i need to buy more lube

no modding anytime soon

[untold wigeon]

FedEx actually made me want to die once

they lost my passport once

was an actual nightmare

I only use UPS or amazon now

they are the only networks that actually work in this state

wierdly, USPS is decent on the east coast when I visited my aunts

even down south in georgia

just in the west coast they suck

[limber jetty]

bro wth i just ordered a 60he+ with fed ex ts is scaring me

[untold wigeon]

Smh stay strong soldier

[random dagger]

i love it when they ask me to review the kbmodkit despite me not having it shipped

[broken notch]

Review it 🔪

@glacial wind i went for CF for my zoom64 plate

Brass was just outside my price range

[glacial wind]

nice. Cf is my favourite of the stiff options personally

[sacred elm]

Ordering CF plate tomorrow, will probably get black one

[broken notch]

Yeee

Keebox was insanely cheaper than any other I found somehow

Like 50-60 usd cheaper

[broken notch]

Also getting a zoom64? :D

[sacred elm]

no

I'm using optimum

[broken notch]

Okay

:(

[fluid ravine]

You

?

[broken notch]

Yup

The black one

Cf plate

[lapis fog]

Guys i bought the wooting uwu like a month ago and it is currently in production. Anyone got any more information on that?

[trail bane]

#📦│batch_updates

[lapis fog]

the last thing stated there was 10 days ago about the shipping prices in the us or sum

[quasi hinge]

Here weeeeee goooooooo 🛸

[broken notch]

Ufo ufo ufo

[tropic urchin]

Silver on silver lookin 🔥

[quasi hinge]

1st is ufo, 2nd is magneto, 3rd ufo, 4th magneto

I don’t feel any scratchiness, they are very stable. More thock or deeper clack. But the spring feels heavier than the magnetos

[sacred elm]

spring is heavier, it's similar to wooting pom

a bit lighter than woot pom actually

[tropic urchin]

Bout the same as my exp

[sacred elm]

ufo 50 bottom out, woot pom 55

[oak jewel]

its very nice

[tropic urchin]

The spring feels decent, even if it isn’t my beloved 45g

New 45g long spring switches is a fucking albatross i stg 😭

[oak jewel]

are white UFOs out already?

[sacred elm]

on taobao only I think

[tropic urchin]

Or superbuy

[oak jewel]

ughhhh

[sacred elm]

flux diamonds are 45g trust

[tropic urchin]

Now when’s Wuque diamonds

[sacred elm]

[tropic urchin]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[sacred elm]

initially

[tropic urchin]

Edit: Hell no

[sacred elm]

😭

[oak jewel]

Now just need to get my hands on white ufos

[tropic urchin]

Not the tomatoes

[sacred elm]

their silver v60 keyboard comes with them

[oak jewel]

Still very nice when no crunchy

Every 3 business days

[tropic urchin]

Kinda glad raptors are crunchy bc their sound was one of my least favorite parts about it

[oak jewel]

i actually like em

muy stable

[quasi hinge]

Yes

[humble surge]

Silver, not white, but AliExpress and TaoBao has them.
Been out for like a week or two now.

[quasi hinge]

These have these, pink and purple

[oak jewel]

oh ali has them too

nice

[humble surge]

Yeah just extremely high price

for whatever reason Ali never reduced, it's worse than initial i paid in December

[oak jewel]

Jesus christ 2,5eur per

WASD it is

[humble surge]

140$ for 60

i paid 150$ for 87

now its at a more realistic 75-80$ per 87

[quasi hinge]

Mine was less

[sacred elm]

that's not really accurate btw

[quasi hinge]

What is it then?

[sacred elm]

45g bottom out

[quasi hinge]

I do notice that 5g difference but wow on the stability

[tropic urchin]

The real culprit is “one of the few switches to use a full boxstem”

[tropic urchin]

You’ll feel it more on top wobble than bottom

[quasi hinge]

Both

[tropic urchin]

Since that’s the weak link in all boxstem switches

[quasi hinge]

Time to change them all

Lets see how this goes

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/cosmic-angel-ascended-ascension-gif-21289430

[quasi hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/ufo-aliens-gif-9476697166132811266

[tropic urchin]

Biblically accurate abduction of funds

[sacred elm]

stability is similar but with round/octagon stem switches you don't feel small stem movements like with huge box stem switches

[quasi hinge]

And ill get used to the heavier spring

[tropic urchin]

Ah so that’s the micro wobble I’d feel on the top for POMs originally

[quasi hinge]

Ill post a pic when they are on

[tropic urchin]

That huge box really isn’t the play, but it was great back in the day

[sacred elm]

yea

[tropic urchin]

RIP

Now tom just needs to send me My POM plate so I can use UFOs again on Vella

[sacred elm]

I'm getting black cf instead of silver @tropic urchin

[tropic urchin]

Bros not built for light mode

https://tenor.com/view/too-bright-overwhelming-glow-make-it-stop-hurt-light-scream-reaction-gif-12475821297860780622

[sacred elm]

I really hate white between the keycaps

[tropic urchin]

That’s why it isn’t white, it’s silver ☝️🤓

[humble surge]

Can't wait to get Silver Mists and the case next month, it should come together nicely

[quasi hinge]

Goodbye for now kom poms

Ufo ufo ufo

https://tenor.com/view/gloop-gif-25555044

[glacial wind]

it's not scratch, that's where people are mistaken about the tightness

it's tightness from the fit, not actual friction scratching. The heavier feel partially comes from the actual tightness of the fit, that's why they feel heavier than the 50g which they state

it's like raptor x lekker v1 frankenswitch where you could have 35g springs but they felt like 55g because of the stem tightness

it's why i don't give them that high a rating on smoothness, even though there's no 'scratching'

[quasi hinge]

Feels just about right for me, I think I understand what you mean. Gives me tighter control. They are not loose fitting

Will try to get used to the slightly heavier press

[glacial wind]

until you wear them in more they'll basically feel like 55g switches

because the tightness comes from the actual stem fit being too tight

but over time i've heard they do break in a bit better

[quasi hinge]

Maybe I needed a harder press or its just the stability…. But it feels like an upgrade overall

[glacial wind]

if your goal is stability then they'll be an upgrade

they're definitely overall tighter than poms

although that said in actual accuracy it's probably below poms until the next switch update

since ufo don't have their own switch setting yet

[quasi hinge]

Oops

[glacial wind]

that's just how it goes though with switch selector, since end of the day the most important factor is whether the keyboard has the stability graph for that particular switch yet or not

[quasi hinge]

The auto-adjust is auto?

What would it switch these to?

[glacial wind]

yeah it auto adjusts, but it's of course not going to be as precise as a pre-calculated exact switch setting

but it's fine in a month or so we'll add ufo

[quasi hinge]

Okay great

Was worried about any scratchiness

Like a jade max situation

[glacial wind]

it's already scheduled to be in the next batch with ufo, ttc horse, unionwell snow, keytok nova and maybe wuque diamond too

[broken notch]

KOI RGB PLEASE

[glacial wind]

tell vendors to sell koi rgb outside china first lol

[broken notch]

I know :(

to the official wooting site?

[broken notch]

No

[sacred elm]

[broken notch]

To the switch selector in wootility

[hexed lava]

ohh, i see. im stupid lol

[quasi hinge]

I wasnt sure about these switches but wow

Feels solid with wooting caps

[hexed lava]

[quasi hinge]

UFOs

[quasi hinge]

👆

where you buy them, out of stock on website:c

[quasi hinge]

Someone here sent me the link

I had to use super buy

Wow

[humble surge]

It's 708,26 CNY ~102,51$ for 85 Silver Mist UFOs

[quasi hinge]

I got 90 but still high

[humble surge]

Yeah but you bought the 10 packs 9 times

more expensive that way

[quasi hinge]

Only thing in stock at the time and was hoping to get them now. Tomorrow is a holiday

Perfect timing

Im surprised it even left China

[humble surge]

No, the 65 pack was in stock ever since i sent you the link

[quasi hinge]

Seriously

[humble surge]

yeah sec

[quasi hinge]

Im a moron

My bad, was nervous about superbuy, first time

[humble surge]

i mean your money, 20 bux, not a terribly big deal

[quasi hinge]

I would have remembered differently until you corrected me

[humble surge]

Also more flex to have 9 boxes

[quasi hinge]

Im not sure what to do with them

[humble surge]

Build a tower

:D

next up, buying a hundred experience packs or 25 four packs, to schizo maxx, cause i won't ever use pink

[quasi hinge]

Sold out

[humble surge]

"next up"

[quasi hinge]

lol

At least the silver matches my build and they do feel like a good upgrade in every way

Stock lube seems to be decent

[quasi hinge]

Thanks again 🛸

[humble surge]

Setup complete on that board 👀

🛸

[quasi hinge]

Until the 80he split space bar pcb

[humble surge]

REAL

excuse me? how? what?

[quasi hinge]

Good luck

I was expecting mine mid next month

[humble surge]

Just sudden email now, but idk what is going on

Unless special treatment to the 5 unit Batch 1 orders? but highly doubt

[young viper]

Didn't you order it like yesterday lmao

[humble surge]

Yeah

[quasi hinge]

And a wooting knob or 2

[humble surge]

yeah those need to release

[thin flicker]

Same

[quasi hinge]

I play in the dark and using wooting stock keycaps, gives me something nice to notice but other than that id agree on many builds.

[robust siren]

@tropic urchin tom said he has rakka plates

cf rakka when

[chilly mural]

7u split cf plate wen

with raeds

[robust siren]

n o

[robust siren]

i dont have soju blue 7u split spacebar

[chilly mural]

time to get one

[robust siren]

bro im gonna have to drop another $30 on soju kit

[chilly mural]

at least you'll have CNY money

[robust siren]

thats going to fh6

[chilly mural]

waow

gotta pray you have extra I guess

[robust siren]

gotta spend cny on japan

[untold wigeon]

holyshit USPS didnt loose my stuff

actually got my 80he back OVERNIGHT for the first tim ever

they actually had priority mail be priority mail

now I gotta get a 90 back of tikens T_T

my wallet lmao

[full holly]

Hello! I’m looking for alternate keycaps for the Wooting HE 60% with the split spacebar layout. Does anyone know where I might be able to find compatible sets? I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!

[untold wigeon]

Drop has full size kits with ALL the keys you need plus extras for normal keyboards

[young viper]

Drop, divinikeys, kbdfans, bowl keyboard, Ali express

[compact tartan]

is there a sub 100$ aluminum case for the 80he under 100$ or is the kbdfans gt80 my best bet

just realised i said sub 100 twice

[robust siren]

how much was shipping on that bro 💀

[young viper]

For sub 100 yep. I also like the ego 80 but it's a bit more pricey. Good alternative though

[untold wigeon]

30 bucks

its fine though

ngl Im probably gonna put it on ebay to just buy anoither set of wooting cables and new keycaps

[trail bane]

Q3 2026

[humble surge]

~103,83 $

[robust siren]

US tariffs boutta slap a 200% charge on a block of aluminum

[stoic ocean]

The containment makes me want to try it, but frankly, the purple of the Mechameleon is wickedly beautiful

[zinc fox]

this is suitable for pcb tape mod right

[fluid ravine]

@wide lark i mean well tofu60 has hella reverb i can't lie

[robust siren]

if youre using the tofu that explains why it wont clack

[fluid ravine]

whats your build?

[robust siren]

you also need sound isolation from the keyboard to the des k

[fluid ravine]

what kind of tape is it?

[robust siren]

should be fine, its just painters tape

@wide lark

[wide lark]

yeah for me painters tape makes it deeper

it gives of a sound i dont like

imo it gives a sorta chattery sound

[fluid ravine]

YESSS ANOTHER TAPE MOD HATERRR

HEHEHEHE

[little glen]

tape mod makes your shit sound like tape

[fluid ravine]

mb

[little glen]

thockson you should try the horsies

they're good

[fluid ravine]

Well it is used as a filter to accentuate the lows and mids

[fluid ravine]

debtson*

clip clop ahhhh

yeah they do sound liek clip clops

[little glen]

🐴

[fluid ravine]

its impressive icl

[wide lark]

im ngl my tofu60 2.0 sounds SUPPPPEEEERRRR poppy when i use painters tape but it js doenst work on my woot

[little glen]

did you hear my sound test

[fluid ravine]

it most likely has to do with the pcb and plate being screwed together and the switches as a whole

[fluid ravine]

yes but iw ould like to hear it again

[little glen]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[wide lark]

oh my build is a wooting 60he v2 w tofy 60 e white and ill be getting gmk serika 2 soon

[fluid ravine]

thanks

[fluid ravine]

switches?

tikken?

[little glen]

very clean sounding overall

[fluid ravine]

i really want new switches

[little glen]

also got dcf coming in the mail

[wide lark]

woops uhm i have geon raws as my alphas and gateron jade pros for my modifiers and the rest are jade pros since i dont have enough switches 😭

[zinc fox]

seems like painters tape, the adhesive isnt very strong its just tape I had lying around lol

[little glen]

(i need to go pick them up)

[fluid ravine]

then yeah youre good

[zinc fox]

just had worries about electricity conducting if thats a potential issue

[wide lark]

but im also getting ttc kom pom soon

[fluid ravine]

oh i see well you should be able to get a quiet decent clack out of it

[fluid ravine]

you ordered already?

cus would suggest getting something else i can't lie

[fluid ravine]

youre good

[little glen]

kom pom when horsies are a thing 🥀

[fluid ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNl4cte7XEY this was my old build with geon raws in a tofu clone case on the og 60he

[zinc fox]

i appreciate it 🙏🙏

[fluid ravine]

Not super clean build in terms of sound but ig its something

[little glen]

raws still some of the best sound to this day

[fluid ravine]

dude raw on alu plate is something i can't lie

[wide lark]

wtf are horsies😭

[fluid ravine]

TTC Horses

[little glen]

🐴 clip clop

[wide lark]

huh

ill check them out

[little glen]

i have them, full recommend from me

[wide lark]

wait i forgot to mention that it also has an fr4 plate

[fluid ravine]

https://ttcswitches.com/products/ttc-horse-magnetic-switch-clip-clop-sound-smooth-stable-keyboard-switch-new-arrival

[wide lark]

im planning on getting cf

[fluid ravine]

oh shyt

well i guess you can expect your board to sound sort of liek mine in my sound test up there

if you do get cf plate

[little glen]

i have em on fr4 and its good but i bet they also bang on alu/cf

[fluid ravine]

it will come out more muted though since im guessing youre using friction fit

[little glen]

i think sno has them on cf rn

[fluid ravine]

so fking expensive gahd

[wide lark]

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OPTIONS😭

[fluid ravine]

i would love to try but im not made of money

[little glen]

the rgb ones are the ones you wanna get

[fluid ravine]

rgb, og, CNY

[little glen]

rgb white probably

[fluid ravine]

3 options

[little glen]

og and CNY are more expensive for no reason

[fluid ravine]

diff aesthetics between each categories

[wide lark]

i have an experience of clear switches sounding plasticky does this just not apply to these

[little glen]

just like some numbers on there and some other shit nothing that's worth the upcharge

[fluid ravine]

it would depend on the switch material itself so

like i know some clear mx switches that sound solid and not plasticky but its due to their materials really

and mold

so it really just depends

[uneven cradle]

You got it like that

[fluid ravine]

sup hopps

hitting some bopps

[uneven cradle]

Wassup

I be busy organizing, moving city and going to new job

[fluid ravine]

oh right i forgot you mention this

good luck

[wide lark]

yeah i mean i kinda assumed they where plastic and just didnt read the materials😭

[uneven cradle]

Thanks, just grateful new job is helping pay relocation fees

Otherwise this would be one spenny move

[fluid ravine]

oh fireeeeeeeeeeee

[cyan lark]

Do we still like keyboards in here?

[fluid ravine]

whatchu mean

[polar girder]

Yeah why

[uneven cradle]

Keyboard

[young viper]

Fucking hate keyboards

[little glen]

very nice

[cyan lark]

Just making sure ❤️

[foggy rivet]

any recommendations for purple keycaps ?

[fluid ravine]

KKB SHEE, KKB Angel, KKB Bloom, GMK Purple Night, GMK Violet, GMK Laser, GMK Pulse. GMK Black Lotus, PBTfans Fairy R2, PBTfans Atomic Purple, PBTfans Purpolch

[little glen]

My purple keycap grail is gmk dragon witch but it is unavailable rn 🥀

Pbtfans astraeus is cool

[fluid ravine]

oo those are nice

[little glen]

Was originally a gmk gb, idk why they changed manu

[fluid ravine]

damn

lunar new years tmr
nervous to what things to say

[uneven cradle]

Damn you got the encyclopedia of purple keycaps on hand

[fluid ravine]

lmao

kkb beige catching my eye

beige tax

[robust siren]

definitely not dllm

[little glen]

I rlly want to get a purple set of caps

[fluid ravine]

me back then

[little glen]

I already have so many keycaps tho

[fluid ravine]

i need more

[little glen]

Always

[fluid ravine]

to have extra sets of keycaps or to have too many boards without keycaps

[robust siren]

i have too many switches and caps

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

not enough boards

[fluid ravine]

better than capless boards

its like being bald

[robust siren]

i can actually build another fuggin keyboard

[little glen]

I need a premium 80he case and 80he+ with split space

So i can use some of my parts

[robust siren]

if i put bakka in holy60 clone, get a benom60 pcb for cf gt-60, and use the 80he as is

[fluid ravine]

i just need another 60% gummy mount pcb

[little glen]

If i get a pcb i could build something immediately

[fluid ravine]

and like 2 complete sets of keycaps

then i should be caught up

i need l9 cream set

and maybe something that goes with silver

[uneven cradle]

All those keycaps and no mention of the best purple keycaps though GMK cubed

[robust siren]

sojus taking up 2 boards is kinda crazy

[fluid ravine]

or green

[little glen]

I have an extra case, extra switches and keycaps

[pliant tinsel]

Thocksok remember the fr4 i ordered? I f up, i ordered an screw in stab one and i got the 60he+ prebuilt

[fluid ravine]

lowkey clean purple

[little glen]

Gonna have about 160 unused tikkens (not counting the founders tikkens)

[fluid ravine]

well then buy some screw in stabs

[robust siren]

60he+ can use screw in stabs

[fluid ravine]

honestly better off using screw in stabs rather than plate mount

[pliant tinsel]

Yee was abt to

Is there really any difference?

Like

[robust siren]

oh wait

i read that wrong

[fluid ravine]

more secure easier to tune esp since theres newer gen stabs out like knights and yikb

[pliant tinsel]

Yea im like thinking about sending it back maybe or keep it and then save up for some stabs and stuff

[fluid ravine]

someone send this mans some screw in stabs

i have some tx ap clip ins sitting in my closet that i havent touched for a year already

[little glen]

Stabs aint that expensive

Tho if you want to tune them you do need lube and tools (brushes mainly)

[fluid ravine]

[pliant tinsel]

Fair point

[little glen]

I have an extra set of yikb stabs on my shelf

[pliant tinsel]

Shafie recommended me some hold up

[fluid ravine]

its not that we're broke, its the opportunity to acquire these things

trust, thats how we roll

[pliant tinsel]

It was typeplus stabs

[little glen]

Nah i‘m broke as hell cause i paid for concert tickets for 3 people and havent asked them for the money yet

[fluid ravine]

gib them to gore
him and his mouse clicking 7u yikb

[fluid ravine]

yeah they're yikb

Typeplus YIKB

[pliant tinsel]

ohhhh

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

shaking my smh

[little glen]

I always say yibk cause its shorter

Yikb

[fluid ravine]

yibk

YEEBKUH

[little glen]

Knight stabs are good too

[fluid ravine]

knights v4 yeah

[little glen]

I have v2s in my 80he

Currently my main board

[fluid ravine]

i have v2s on my neo and venom

[little glen]

Fuck i really want to get a venom

[fluid ravine]

[little glen]

Not venom

Neo

[fluid ravine]

o

which one?

core plus?

[little glen]

My brain is all scrambled rn

[fluid ravine]

i lowk want a diff neo but i rather not

[little glen]

Either core plus or one of the cu

[fluid ravine]

me fr

[little glen]

Or the qk split alice

[young viper]

Get the rakka

Do it

[little glen]

Ive been thinking about that one for so long

[fluid ravine]

mx talk here

[little glen]

Not getting the rakka
