Is lubing really needable for new stabs?SideEye

fluid ravine
#

well you need to lube every stab really

#

but new gens require less lube

little glen
#

Stabs usually come disassembled and need to be lubed during assembly

fluid ravine
#

while some average or older ones need a lil bit more love

fluid ravine
little glen
#

New gen stabs just need regular switch lube none of that thick grease anymore

fluid ravine
#

yeah

#

its optional to use grease but if you do, use a really thin amount

#

too much and youll have yourself in slug town

pliant tinsel
#

Alright alright

fluid ravine
#

funny enough wizard i use grease in both of my knights and yikb spacebars

#

how dare i

#

but ay i put a very nice amount and they work perfectly

pliant tinsel
#

Is there like pre lubed stabs you can buy? Yea im lazySideEye

fluid ravine
#

likeeee

little glen
#

I am a big advocate for lubing them yourself cause that way you learn how they work and how to disassemble/fix things later on

fluid ravine
#

and plus just incase when you need lube, you already have it on hand

pliant tinsel
fluid ravine
#

you'd be better off using screw in stabs for the future rather than plate mounts

#

went through the trouble of using plate mounts throughout the 60he+ era, was alright but def was not fun esp when i didn't have lube at the time

proven wadi
#

Anyone tried the "Pulsar
X2 CRAZYLIGHT" good bad? I like a wireless mouse, around 38-45g that can do 1-2k polling rate (im sure they can all do 8k too but thats doesnt matter to much for me) also price doesnt matter. Any tips?

KBDfans® Mechanical Keyboards Store

NOTES: The Plate Mounted Stabilizers are not compatible with the PCB and plate we sold! Notes: The Stabs should be inserted into the Plate, not the PCB The white color version is pre-lubed in the factory, not clipped the black color version is not pre-lubed Specs 60/87 keyboard set:  2U4 6.25U1, extra 7U wire* 1 104

#

Honestly newer gen stabs are so easy to lube it’s not even like they take work anymore

#

Since stuff like yikb only use 205g0 there’s no worrying about trying to get right amount of lube etc

#

You literally just do a once over with 205g0 on everything then done

#

Do I need two sets for the 60he v2?

i think you do for split

or

you can just buy the wire

or

#

reuse the one in the 60he v2

sacred elm

#

I think only one we got working every time was knights

#

I assume staebies is only on the list because it was the response when recommending top stabs way back

#

These days I don’t really see a reason to still be buying staebies when yikb and knights exist

sacred elm
#

Yea, if the plate isn't PCB mount compatible only, thicker stabs like Staebies, YIKB, TX AP, won't fit @thin flicker

Uh guys do you know any stabilizers for the 60he+ that sound rly good and don't need any modification to fit in

all stabs need lube and tuning for the most part

I can get lube

How am I gonna tune it tho

you could however get pre lubed stabs if there is a store that offers it close to you

Yh

its just bending the metal until its straight

Would u recommend any that sound rly good I will modify them

there isnt much difference in quality of stabs

Ok, then some gmk sets and some pbtfans sets have international extras options

That you can buy to go with the main set

any links where i can buy them? and i have this 2 space bar thing

little glen

Those usually include german keycaps

This also has a split space option you could go for

ooh looking hell cool 😄

The beige looks good

crimson sky
little glen
#

Honestly, just look through oblotzky

crimson sky
#

this one is 150€ but you also get a stein

little glen
#

Some of the caps there have german kitting and the vendor is based in germany so shipping will be cheap and no import issues

foggy locust
#

i think beige or white should be best is there some white black theme key caps like my superstrike mouse that would look nice

#

i have white case

# robust pendant wanna know what y'all think

it sounds too heavy, like there's a lot of dampeners that doesn't give it a resounding spike. Too dark sounding, which can sound cheap because it's the sound profile of a subpar speaker.

Nope, I think it only ended up costing my 80 for the a and b set anyways

I was just going to ask about your switches

#

Did you try the HE one they include with the kit for your spacebar?

young viper
#

i have not

#

i was just about to

warped glade
#

I’ve used it on my 80HE since it has the full spacebar and it works
If you happen to have the 60HE v2 founder tikken switches they’ve got heavy springs too

young viper
#

yeah i was testing base tikkens vs founders, founders are way too heavy

#

i think i may nab the spring from the one they include and spring swap

they’re split stem basically, which leads to that heavily muted sound

Split stem is all very muted, much like the jade ultra being muted too, then pa12 makes it deeper too

Cerakeys sound so soothing; it was a disappointment to go back to plastic sounds this week
I’ve been considering whether it’s worth dedicating a board to them and choosing switches upfront to accommodate the extra weight

The thing I like about the novas is that they don’t make much noise

They are silent without being silent switches

The only thing I don't like about the nova's is how tight they fit in the board

Could you try a franken switch?
Top, stem, spring from the keytok nova + dcf bottom housing

robust siren
#

what switches are these

young viper
#

tikkens

robust siren
#

oh that explains it

glacial wind
young viper
glacial wind
#

the idea for soundtests is you have a reference sample then you understand how the switch sounds roughly, before applying all your personal mods/changes to it

robust siren
glacial wind
#

so for example for nova, you understand that regardless of the setup, they sound more deeper/muted in comparison to lekker v2 in the same setup, so you apply that into your decision making

robust siren
#

or well it isnt chatter per say but something about other switches, even dcf sounds off

glacial wind
#

how you ideally should be using the sound database is you open up multiple switches and play them back to back to compare, because they're all using the same setup/same recording conditions

#

then even if it doesn't match your own setup you have a rough idea of the sound signatures

robust siren
#

i just wished my spacebar wasnt so fucking ass on the sound recording i downloaded to my phone AyaDeed

i wouldn't swap tikkens for jade pros

just use the in form field to search for jade pro

# glacial wind i wouldn't swap tikkens for jade pros

thanks! I was wondering because I currently have jade pros on my optimum case wooting and was considering putting the original back together and selling it to get the v2 PCB so I actually have the jades now not the tikken

Do people like the WS bear switch opener?

#

Is it as good as their switch puller?

glacial wind
#

Switch openers just can be whatever honestly

#

I have it but it’s not really any better or worse than any of the switch openers of that design

#

I know some people like the ones from gateron that are like pliers, but I’ve always been paranoid about those after some people broke long pole switches with them

crimson sky
#

I also do not see the benefit of the gateron thing

#

Opening a switch in a normal switch opener like the wuque is really easy

young viper
#

I've never been a fan of the gateron one

#

I like the wooting one lol

Uh guys do you recommend any good sounding he switches bc i can't make my mind up

#

It says on the website that the tikken switches are compatible with the spring pack. So does that mean the springs in the spring pack are 22mm in length?

ionic breach
#

different lengths can be compatible

viral dragon
#

Since the spring length is different, do you know if that would affect the performance or the feel of the switches?

#

I wouldn’t think it would affect it that much but just want to see if anyone knows

thin flicker
#

It would change the feel but not performance I don't think

viral dragon
#

Got it, thanks guys

regal patio
#

Honestly most new switches have 20mm+ springs

#

Only some old ones like original jade, Lekker v1's and a few more had like 13mm springs

#

I wouldn't choose switches based on the spring length

#

Anything that's 20mm+ is fine

#

And switches that have 13mm springs are outdated now

i think woot should sell the recommended switches on the store but idk how viable that is with how often they change

maybe order less to make up for it but that would end up making the price more expensive

# thin flicker Guys I'm building a custom should I buy 60he+ module or 60he v2?

theres a few differences physically

60he+ module has a pc plate
60he v2 module has an fr4 plate

60he+ uses tray mounting (you can also just buy the friction pad off wootings website)
60he v2 comes with the option to friction fit or tray mount

60he v2 has a tape mod installed and also a PET film but some people prefer to not use either, entirely preference
