[tough prairie]

[ionic breach]

[chilly mural]

Baibai

[thin flicker]

That's what I thought

Ccan someone send me official link I can't find it

[chilly mural]

You'll be fine, legit almost everybody talking here an hour ago uses one of those links

[thin flicker]

Oh okay thanks

[robust siren]

aliexpress is fine

[tough prairie]

here's the official link if you want to be safe: https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/ws-flux-switch?variant=47294529142954

[tropic urchin]

Lmao

It’s time to crunch @sacred elm

[tough prairie]

https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wuque-stuido-ws-flux-he-magnetic-switch?_pos=1&_sid=b14a43cad&_ss=r&variant=45045895823555

[tropic urchin]

Yeah I’m not giving them more money

[robust siren]

@thin flicker heres another link off aliexpress if you so desire to not buy it from there

[thin flicker]

Alr

Thx

[robust siren]

that wont run you $2/switch

[tropic urchin]

Why would I buy pink lotus when diamonds are releasing

[robust siren]

where oceans

[little glen]

aliexpress is fine, i dont think anyone got scammed with the fluxes so far here

[broken notch]

Don't you know diamonds are a girl's best friend

[tropic urchin]

Flux diamonds my beloved

[glacial wind]

If you want to troll do it elsewhere. Giving bad information and replying just to annoy folks is not okay. No more warnings

[thin flicker]

gulp

[glacial wind]

I believe they’re just called diamonds, no more flux naming since it’s an entirely different switch

[tropic urchin]

Hmm

[broken notch]

Named after the popular pokemon game

[chilly mural]

Diamonds are forever

Flux is temporary

[tropic urchin]

300m life time pressing F5

Prob gonna be $3 per switch

[glacial wind]

I think my diamonds literally arrive tomorrow so we’ll see

[tropic urchin]

Cuz Wuque likes smoking crack

[tropic urchin]

WHAT

[chilly mural]

Do be like the diamond mafia pricing

[robust siren]

only available on their website

watch this

[tropic urchin]

You can’t just be casually dropping truth nukes like that

[thin flicker]

I'm willing to test Ali express

[chilly mural]

Tomorrow Korea time? So legit 15 hours from now

[little glen]

those switches better be expensive to match the name

[thin flicker]

For the community

[tropic urchin]

I bought from MMD Ainy and GGBoy both good vendors

[glacial wind]

Yeah. They said cleared customs a few hours ago so I assume delivery tomorrow during business hours

[robust siren]

i bought mine from GGBoy

[tropic urchin]

@glacial wind the marbly church will be waiting with bated breath

[thin flicker]

Mk

[ionic breach]

im pretty sure 90% of all fluxes are bought from aliexpress lol

[thin flicker]

Oh okay good

[tough prairie]

nicee that was fast

[robust siren]

[broken notch]

What do you mean by testing aliexpress?

[robust siren]

what else should i get for the 80he

[broken notch]

I have a delivery from them every week the past 567 weeks.

[tropic urchin]

wtf is that

[glacial wind]

Goodbye.

[ionic breach]

foam gaskets?

[little glen]

10 years of aliexpress

[robust siren]

[tropic urchin]

“That was easy”

[ionic breach]

interesting

[robust siren]

basically sound mod pack for the 80he

[chilly mural]

Portal turret ahh response

[robust siren]

i guess i could get a cf plate

[ionic breach]

from toronto?

[robust siren]

whats the cheapest cf plate

for the 80he on ali

[sacred elm]

keyboard fun store

[broken notch]

Keebox was only 42 usd for me without shipping

[ionic breach]

keebox is prolly cheaper

[broken notch]

But might take longer

[glacial wind]

I think my one from keyboard fun store was what 25 or so?

[broken notch]

oh wow

That's a good deal

[robust siren]

this is from keyboard fun store

[ionic breach]

oh damn thats so cheap

[glacial wind]

Iirc I used coupon on it to get down price a bit more

[broken notch]

coins

[thin flicker]

Guys imma type my build lmk if I should improve or add stuff

[broken notch]

I swear to god if I see o-rings listed

[ionic breach]

[thin flicker]

Wooting 60he v2 module, bakenoko60 case, ws flux deep clacky, cerakeys split and finally knights v4

[robust siren]

keebox is in fact cheaper

[thin flicker]

Oh wait I forgot the knights stabs

[broken notch]

Brb walking into the ocean

[ionic breach]

u got lube for knights?

[thin flicker]

What should I upgrade

Yeah

[robust siren]

get a cf plate

[ionic breach]

i mean plate probably

[thin flicker]

Where can I buy them

[ionic breach]

but thats preference

[thin flicker]

What do they do

[ionic breach]

u prolly shouldnt without knowing which u prefer

[robust siren]

actually does cf work with ceramic caps?

[ionic breach]

probably sounds bad lol

[thin flicker]

What's cf

[ionic breach]

who knows

[robust siren]

carbon fiber

[broken notch]

carbon fiber

[ionic breach]

carbon fibre

[broken notch]

Fudge y'all I won

[robust siren]

im the best

[thin flicker]

Oh

[robust siren]

nuh uh

[ionic breach]

gores first on mine

[ionic breach]

id say ur good to go

[glacial wind]

It’s interesting we don’t have many alu plate users here

Everyone picks cf for stiff option lol

[robust siren]

whats the difference between cf and alu

[thin flicker]

The name

[broken notch]

price

[little glen]

i want to get an alu plate for my 80he

[glacial wind]

Cf is stiffer, although it dulls sound more

[broken notch]

I wanted Brass but I lacked 3 usd in my paypal account

So I went for CF

[ionic breach]

brass is just fancy alu no?

in terms of sound and stiffness

[broken notch]

Brass is nice I find

[glacial wind]

I usually enjoy the weird muted tones of cf though, but I buy mainly to max stiffness my boards

[thin flicker]

Is it js me or on the stock wootv2 there's little gaps in between keys it ugly right?

Its*

[little glen]

what

[thin flicker]

Wait

[ionic breach]

thats just all keyboards

[glacial wind]

The key spacing is normal

I’m not really sure what you mean lol

[broken notch]

Are you calling my board ugly

Ogh I oughta

[robust siren]

wat

[robust siren]

thats normal on every keyboard

[broken notch]

That's normal and rgb fixes it anyway

[thin flicker]

Ik but on some it's less visible

[ionic breach]

its not that big i feel

[robust siren]

get a black plate then

[thin flicker]

Oh yeah

[quick finch]

white plate is nice for rgb

[thin flicker]

Yh

[little glen]

its more visible cause the plate is white for better rgb

[broken notch]

Guys, do I buy a keebmat for my wristrest as well?

[ionic breach]

lol

black plates are better

[robust siren]

it comes with bumpons for wrist rests iirc

[ionic breach]

if u dont use rgb much

[thin flicker]

Me neither

[glacial wind]

The bump ons made everything sit a bit to high for me

[broken notch]

You see, I may have seen the aliexpress ones before I saw the actual keebmat product

[robust siren]

so good on bojus

[glacial wind]

I just bought a bigger keebmat instead

[ionic breach]

sno u know u want to buy a deskmat

[robust siren]

(dont mind the alt being swapped around with ctrl)

[ionic breach]

and abandon all these gaming mouse pads

[broken notch]

Seeeee

[glacial wind]

They have one that’s not quite a deskmat so you can fit gaming mousepad next to it stil

That’s what I use

[robust siren]

i have the opposite problem with my gt-60

[thin flicker]

Yeah i want a keebmat now

[robust siren]

the front of the case sits lower than the top of the wrist rest

by like .5mm

[broken notch]

I'll see if the zoom fixes it anyhow

[glacial wind]

I think mine was the plus

[ionic breach]

o shit holy80 discount

do i use my red packets on it

[glacial wind]

I miss getting red packets

[ionic breach]

unc

[glacial wind]

Need to be young again for the free money

[thin flicker]

U guys recommend any third party wristrests

[robust siren]

uhhhhhh what

[thin flicker]

Whats a red packet?

[ionic breach]

(i have military service in a few months)

[robust siren]

chinese new years

[thin flicker]

Oh

[ionic breach]

free money married people give to children every year

in their family

[thin flicker]

E

W

[glacial wind]

It’s a Chinese new year thing basically

[thin flicker]

Oh okay thankss guys

[glacial wind]

Once you get married no more red packets unfortunately

Then you have to give the moneys out

[robust siren]

wait theres a silver gt-60 case in stock on kbdfans

[thin flicker]

Never get married

[glacial wind]

if you have rich grandparents though some give crazy money

[broken notch]

Get married, but rich

[robust siren]

buy buy buy

[glacial wind]

like some kids gets thousands of dollars for red packets in wealthy families

[thin flicker]

Jesus

[broken notch]

Do et

[ionic breach]

hmm its 20% off

[robust siren]

i already have one

[broken notch]

I'd want a red, alas

[ionic breach]

maybe if its 30% or more

[little glen]

still no brass accent strip in stock 🥀

[robust siren]

they havent been in stock since i started looking at it months ago

[glacial wind]

I’m still thinking if I buy a set of Wuque bow keycaps for a spare set of white split soacebar keycaps

[robust siren]

im starting to suspect that they never had any

[ionic breach]

isnt brass the default one

u get in the kit

[robust siren]

you get wood

[little glen]

nah i saw them at the very beginning

[ionic breach]

oh no its wood

sadge

[robust siren]

my wood piece looked pretty bad so i never used it

[little glen]

i'm considering asking tom from hypekeyboards if he can make a custom plate for the back of the board

but i know itll be super expensive for sure 😭

[robust siren]

gt-80 on sale too 👀

[thin flicker]

What's ur guys fav builds?

[glacial wind]

I need mode to make a wooting 80he case

[robust siren]

my 60%, my tenz80he is stil stock

[glacial wind]

I’m still waiting for the premium mode style 80he case

[ionic breach]

wooting pls i beg

collab with a keeb maker

[thin flicker]

Fr

[robust siren]

[thin flicker]

Woot 75he 🙏

[tropic urchin]

Sorry, wrong case before:

[robust siren]

60% so pleasing

[ionic breach]

im just squidward watching 60s owners have all the fun

[broken notch]

Dinosawrs

[ionic breach]

[tropic urchin]

That’s why I swapped over hehe

Nobody making a fun 80HE case it’s time to create your own fun ☝️🤓

[robust siren]

the question is.... what color do i get gt80 in

[tropic urchin]

60v2 color

[robust siren]

why is ano black a preorder

[little glen]

i would love a 80he case with thin side bezels, some curves along the bottom (maybe a curved cherry lip), pc/acrylic top and all kinds of color options

[robust siren]

wat

[ionic breach]

what keycaps?

[tropic urchin]

Your role color

[robust siren]

well i wanna slap sojus and pbtfan crosshairs on it

i also have some bow

[robust siren]

there isnt even a yellow

[ionic breach]

silver prob

[glacial wind]

I still need to get my raw case stripped and cerakoted titanium

[robust siren]

if i get silver i can match my gt60 build

yummers

i have enough soju for 2 boards

and pbtfan/tenz caps works together

[broken notch]

But you're green

[robust siren]

i dont have green keycaps

[ionic breach]

LOL Pancaketypes never going to live it down

ive seen so many sites with discount codes **wafflebetter **just cos of him

[robust siren]

do i get the gt80 carrying case

[broken notch]

You should

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/no-idea-jurassic-park-ellie-gif-19249741

[ionic breach]

damn no case with purchase?

[little glen]

kbdfans has had that code popup there the whole time i remember them

[robust siren]

only gt60 (the goat)

how much is shipping going to cost

[ionic breach]

i probably wont get the holy80 either

[little glen]

no front badge 🥀

[ionic breach]

cos the bottom cover is 30usd lol

[little glen]

another angel losing its wings

[robust siren]

fug no

[little glen]

we got peter griffin in chat

[thin flicker]

Who?

[robust siren]

its just some random brass piece on the face that matches absolutely nothing

[ionic breach]

i wonder how the gt60 v2 is doing

doubt i can get early leaks again lol

[little glen]

gt80 v2

[ionic breach]

oh gt60

my bad

[little glen]

oh are they doing a v2?

[ionic breach]

ya

[robust siren]

yeah

[little glen]

interesting

[robust siren]

thats why i was surprised there was silver gt60 in stock

[little glen]

any idea what the changes will be?

[ionic breach]

no clue

[robust siren]

uhhhhh i dont see the gt80 on ali anymore
is this a sign

nvm

i found it

[little glen]

i need more premium 80he cases

[robust siren]

the fuck does this even mean

[ionic breach]

whats that for?

[robust siren]

gt-80

[ionic breach]

front badge?

[robust siren]

the images doesnt even change

only the price

oh

skill issue

A is no badge

FUCK silver no badge is sold out on ali

[ionic breach]

[ionic breach]

200 for holy80, rip cant justify it

maybe 150

[robust siren]

its literally the same if i get it from kbdfans and i dont get a case or the side piece

in fact

it costs more on ali

[thin flicker]

Bruh

I'm still deciding on he switchhh

Can flux support cerakeys u think

[ionic breach]

yes but it will be very light to touch

[tropic urchin]

You’d probably need the 80g flux replacement springs

Forget the name but it’s also on aliexpress

[thin flicker]

Ugh

[tropic urchin]

Prob don’t need it for all

Spacebar you def would need

[ionic breach]

just spacebar yea

[trail bane]

Holeeeshiet

[robust siren]

[thin flicker]

Is there any switches that would support the weight stock

Anyone know premium keycap brands

[robust siren]

pbtfans, gmk, keykobo, osume

[thin flicker]

Ok thanks

[ionic breach]

the cerakey spacebars are abt 22g

[thin flicker]

Yh

[ionic breach]

so generally for a consistent feel

take ur normal switches + 20g if u replacing spring

[ionic breach]

imma add keyreative to the mix

my favourite

[glacial wind]

Just use split like me and have no spacebar issues

[thin flicker]

I am

I'm using cerakey split i js remembered

[glacial wind]

Instead you have to buy an entirely blank cerakeys mod set just for spacebar sized keycaps lol

[thin flicker]

Are the stock wooting keycaps good th9

[robust siren]

but pbtfan keycap trays

[ionic breach]

yea i like pbtfans more

but keyreative is slimmer

also hard case

[glacial wind]

They’re good for gaming keycaps. Depends if you like shine through or not though

[ionic breach]

premium keycaps is just looks

no need to buy them at all

stock wooting is great quality

[thin flicker]

But im looking for non shine through js white and black letters yk

[ionic breach]

just search bow keycaps

[thin flicker]

K thabks

[ionic breach]

gmk and other brands have them

[thin flicker]

Okk

[glacial wind]

Buy the Wuque ones on sale

You’re not going to find a better deal than $50 sale for that Wuque bow set right now

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/ws-pbt-bow-keycaps-1

[thin flicker]

Lowj

Lowk

Rainy75 looks tasty

Anyone got anything bad to say abt rainy75

[tulip rapids]

only heard good things about it for the price point as well

[tulip rapids]

did the pom plate come in?

[winged valve]

whats the difference between gmk vs gmk clones?

[glacial wind]

Quality of legend printing typically

But clones is a wide field

[ionic breach]

its isnt a single clone maker

[glacial wind]

There can be clones that are quite close, or clones that aren’t even the right shade of color

It’s all over the place

[ionic breach]

so it ranges, but colour, blend purity and legend printing type

is the three i can think of

oh and thickness

[glacial wind]

also gmk supports the original artist so I always try to get original if it can be within my price range

[ionic breach]

also its not ethical

just get more budget but legit keycaps

[glacial wind]

Gmk can be decently priced depending on set too

[ionic breach]

oh yea

evil dolch was awsome

[glacial wind]

It’s the add ons that can get pricy, but base set by itself you can find some sets for sub $100

Like gmk black snail will be $70 or so for me on sale next week

[tropic urchin]

No tracking info yet

Think tom is busy busy

[thin flicker]

Same tbh

[vagrant aspen]

The on/off button under the capslock

[thin flicker]

Tbf

That's true

[vagrant aspen]

I have a womier sk75 and its incredibly annoying lol

[thin flicker]

Loll

[vagrant aspen]

But its a very good board otherwise, especially for the money

[thin flicker]

Yh

[winged valve]

whats the difference between abs and pbt?

[uneven cradle]

https://wooting.io/post/abs-vs-pbt-what-are-the-best-keycaps

[winged valve]

thanks

[regal patio]

The true answer: Nothing is perfect

[trail bane]

Where

[winged valve]

how long does high quality abs last compared to pbt?

[broken notch]

I have literally never used a keycap set of either long enough for them to fade

Or get wear, is a more accurate saying

[ionic breach]

cannot predict that

depends on the person unironically

[winged valve]

i game a ton, how much does that effect it

[ionic breach]

still cant

too many factors

id go by the past sets u had

assuming they are of reliable quality

and not like logitech keycaps or smt

[winged valve]

only have had the default ones on keyboards (wooting80)

[broken notch]

I doubt they'll wear anytime soon

[ionic breach]

are they shining after cleaning?

[winged valve]

what does shining mean?

[thin flicker]

Rainy75 with hmx yogurt anyone object?

[tulip rapids]

this is your keyboard

you decide

[thin flicker]

[ionic breach]

like light reflecting

instead of matte

[winged valve]

they're matte

[glacial wind]

From geon. At least locally he will do a sale towards end of this month, not sure about international

[uneven cradle]

PBT shines too just takes longer, well depending on the mix it can shine as fast as GMK

[glacial wind]

I can’t use my set until gmk Mictlan rebirth shops though lol

Need the split keys

[ionic breach]

transparent topped keycaps

they seem to be resistant to shine

like xrays

but not enuf has been tested i think

[glacial wind]

I have some pbt sets that still have no shine, just depends on the mix it seems but problem is you never know what the mix of pbt even is

[uneven cradle]

Only set that tells you that is MTNU with its 100% PBT

[open tartan]

can someone reccomend the next upgrade for my 80he? I bought the stock plastic version and would like to make it sound better. I added SW knight switches and a new keycap set.

I'm not sure which upgrade to take next, would the Lekker Tikken be a big change to the sound, or would I be better off upgrading to a zinc case?

[ionic breach]

id say switches

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

lekker tikkens, flux dc and owlabs ti he are great all round

[open tartan]

i saw some lekker tikken reviews, a lot of the appeal is the 4mm travel, how much of a difference does that really make on competitive shooters?

[stray tiger]

If anyone missed the GMK Mutagen drop, extras went on sale today. So expensive but look amazing! Plus I'm a little biased since the set, the puller, and the artisans were all designed by local friends of mine.

[chilly mural]

mmm, matcha

[glossy pagoda]

Green isn't my color but DM me if there's a blue or purple set in the future

[regal sparrow]

do you guys think that there is a better case for a carbon fiber pc plate? choices are tofu60 and holy60. Dont know which one would make the sound " better "

[young viper]

If you're getting a holy 60 you're going for tik Tok asthetics not sound

[tardy bone]

Hi, I know this is probably not the right place to ask, but I just installed the modding kit thats available for the 80HE and now my spacebar is stuck, any ideas why? It worked perfectly before that so I figured its something to do with that

[robust siren]

kbdfans gt-60

holy60 is horrendous for sound

unless you got a thing for hollowness

[regal patio]

Maybe you put on the spacebar wrong?

[fluid ravine]

One of the most unique GMK sets I've ever seen. Heh looking at the puller I def know which friend that is

[tardy bone]

i‘ve tried both ways, thank you though. Figured it out, the foam was pressing against the little thing that connects the stabilizers and thats why it got stuck

[loud zephyr]

another set to add to my regret not buying pile, next to Nervewrecker 😭

[stray tiger]

The extras went on sale today and there are some left. Check Novelkeys

[robust siren]

novelties are cool

[lyric nimbus]

i found an error i would've never forgave myself if i commissioned it right now

(the case was 0.25mm off from the plate)

thank GOD for the existence of prototyping

[trail bane]

[cinder mango]

whats the best he switch these days?

#🪛│modding_faq message

[tulip rapids]

glow in the dark keycaps 👀

[young viper]

Does anyone have a sound test of the koi rgbs? I'm realizing I bought these without any sound tests whatsoever lmao

[tropic cradle]

what are the thockiest sounding switches?

[cinder thicket]

anyone here has the gravastar ufo switches? are they worth it compared to the stock switches?

[untold wigeon]

Guys should i use geon raw for m costum keyboard?

[tulip rapids]

yes

[tulip rapids]

lekkers l60 or tikkens?

[cinder thicket]

the green stock switches that came with my 80he, idk what are they called

[zinc fox]

would this be good for lubing the stock stabs on the 80he?

[young viper]

Should be fine, does the description label it as krytox 205?

[zinc fox]

they have either

would 205 be better for stabs?

[thin flicker]

yh

[young viper]

Yep

[zinc fox]

gotcha

thank you I appreciate the answer

[thin flicker]

don't know if ur talking to me but your welcome

[zinc fox]

both of u ❤️

[young viper]

Yep anytime

205 is the universally used lube for switches and stabs

I use it for my stab wires also, some people say dielectric Grease, but Ive never had luck with it

Is there any cases that support the board so there's no deadzone in the center or is that a no go because of case reverb

[little glen]

i see they have those new skull keycap molds here

looks nice for sure

[stray tiger]

Yeah the creator included them after the initial GB ended because he didnt know if they would be available in time, but they are!

[little glen]

i didnt think i would see a good fit for those after mictlan, very surprised it happened so quickly haha

[tulip rapids]

when did you buy your 80he

oh nvm i guess they havent changed the l60 v2 to tikkens yet

yeah getting ufos would be a huge upgrade for you

[fluid ravine]

i bought base and novelties from Dr Dave for $80
i got myself a steal from him

i'd love to get the L9 or U9 modifiers

[opal notch]

Owlab Ti maybe

[fluid ravine]

they're not close to thocky at all

all HE switches are a variance of clack really

[robust siren]

fuck carbon fiber, we use bmws new plant fiber

[fluid ravine]

feeber glees

[robust siren]

i mean cf i just a bunch of fibers weaved tightly glued together with resin

[sly palm]

Bayrische Motoren Werke

[fluid ravine]

is this an actual thing

i wanna see waht it look likes

[fluid ravine]

oh shet thats nice

[robust siren]

its already been tested on bmw gt4 cars so

[sly palm]

This looks actually pretty good

[robust siren]

should also cut down the cost by a ton

but the thing about cf is that the fibers dont burn

only the resin melts down or burns

[fluid ravine]

sooooo what we trying to say here

im feeling slow today

[robust siren]

yes

[fluid ravine]

gotcha

[cloud crane]

Just stick to cf for now

When it comes it comes

[sly palm]

Gore is just.. fast or something

[robust siren]

i mean if plant based fiber can provide the same benefits (strength to weight ratio) then id see it as an absolute win

[cloud crane]

👀

[broken notch]

I use cf because carbon makes me think it's made from dead dinosaurs

[regal patio]

Duhuk Herz or owlab TI are better

[regal patio]

You mean he switch?

[regal patio]

They are very stable and have a louder lower pitch sound

[regal patio]

If you want HE switches then there are no thocky switches. Every HE switch has a variation of clack. The deepest sounding HE switches are: Keytok Nova, Gravastar UFO, WS deep clack flux and WS pink lotus

[fluid ravine]

@sly palm I just noticed your wave
Hai

[glacial wind]

did a bunch of testing comparisons today, it's funny every time i go to UFO the sound is so nice but i also notice how heavy they feel

they definitely feel like 60g or similar

[trail bane]

I’ve always been curious, does your personal tier list(based on your preferences) have a switch/-es that you just can’t put on the list for some reason?

[glacial wind]

think i'm going to up ttc horse to A+ on top, been comparing wobble a bit and they're definitely a tiny bit better than the other A top switches there

[trail bane]

Like maybe besides unreleased projects

[glacial wind]

i think everything i like is mostly on that list already, just some unreleased stuff that could potentially get there

the wuque flux lotus switch maybe i'd put up there because i like weirdly dull sound switches sometimes

they're like a dulled deep clack switch

which wouldn't be for everyone or most people, but i find them interesting

[trail bane]

Yeah, I also like them more than other Fluxes

[glacial wind]

they forgot to send ocean whispers for me, so i don't have any of those to test though

but in the end those aren't available separately anyway so not a big loss to not test them

ttc horses are still super interesting to me too because they're light clacky

just a very unique sound that you don't find much

like if we call ufo deep clack, then ttc horse is a light clack. Feels like one horse is a pony clip clopping and the other is a big racing horse thumping down the track

[broken notch]

clip clop

[glacial wind]

i think if ufo were just a bit lighter/without the friction vice feel they'd be perfect switch for most

[haughty lichen]

If I just ordered the v2 with the split spacebar will the 61 pc key caps work?

[broken notch]

You need a normal 60% set minus the space bar + an extra long shift, enter and ctrl

Basically

What do you mean by the 61 keys?

[haughty lichen]

When I look at the options for the keycaps it’s like 61/70/84/118/127

[broken notch]

Which keycaps?

You need what I said above

If it has that, they're good

If they don't, you'll be missing 3 keys

[haughty lichen]

Gotcha ty

[regal patio]

How many unreleased switches you have?

[glacial wind]

a few

[fluid ravine]

classified information ahhh

[glacial wind]

i have wuque diamond, but that's all i can say about them because they haven't released any info themselves on it besides them saying it exists

i will be sending next batch of switches out maybe tomorrow or monday though, so the selections going out for next switch selector batch will be: UFO, Keytok Nova, TTC Horse, Unionwell Snow, then maybe Wuque Diamond too depending on how they test

[regal patio]

Im curious about the WS diamond's

I haven't heard anything about the unionwell snow

What are they like?

[glacial wind]

unionwell snow are just like jade ultra kind of switch

fully enclosed, kind of muted

they've been popular in the white and blue variants in china. They're the ones with the double sided light diffusion

[regal patio]

Hmm okay

[cloud crane]

The Unionwells have slightly better pricing than gateron jade ultras at least

[broken notch]

We need to push KOI to the west

[young viper]

the kois are coming soon

[broken notch]

So it begins

[fluid ravine]

if my desires are truly to be desired i guess ill pick some up

[young viper]

If the kois will ever get to the damn warehouse

[fluid ravine]

[young viper]

Dude I bought these koi rgbs with absolutely no clue what they sound like, they were clear and cheap and looked cool😭

[broken notch]

Cny woooo

[fluid ravine]

i have some confidence theyll be solid

iirc there aren't any PC in the switch build so i got some hope

[regal patio]

They are built similarly to the keytok nova's

In terms of materials

[young viper]

proceeds to sound like damn geon raptors

[regal patio]

The stem is way different tho

[young viper]

I was looking at those initially so hoping

[regal patio]

I have the keytok nova's they sound great

[young viper]

Yeah, if they weren't like 90 bucks for enough from their website I'd pick them up lmao

[glacial wind]

you know geon raws were already pa12, but just the top housing lol

so not noticable effect since it's not actually being hit by anything much

[fluid ravine]

wait wut

[glacial wind]

yeah pa12 isn't necessarily new, just people didn't really use it for bottom housings much until recently

[fluid ravine]

oh well i got slightly confused when you said so cus even though pa12 is a type of nylon, i thought geon raws were your typical pc, pom, and nylon setup

[glacial wind]

yeah it seems it got used a bunch by some random things before but it was never said what type of nylon

[fluid ravine]

shi bru

[glacial wind]

so people didn't know until pa12 got more noticed and some brands started letting people know pa12 was used

[fluid ravine]

damn

see i thoughts normal kois were like ti he since its the pc pom and pa66 setup

so i wasn't too sure if it was just a recolor like the herz

so i can't really just go based off of gores review alone

and he's the only person i know that has it

[glacial wind]

geon shipped my black snail novelties already hooray

[fluid ravine]

what board are you gonna use it on?

[glacial wind]

no idea yet, i just needed a cheap gmk set for sound test comparison since i sold my old gmk sets ages ago

black snail was cheapest and it looks nice on any neutral cases so might become my default for my future personal builds

only thing is my sweat is legitimately so acid that i have legends from some uv printed sets that were gone after 2 weeks of use, so shining happens fast for me

[cloud crane]

Black snail gang 🗣️ 🔥

[glacial wind]

if geon could restock his spacebar kit faster that would be nicer though. i need it before mid this year for the full set

[fluid ravine]

oh right base kit doesn't come with any of the splits

[regal patio]

Idk why geon didn't make more HE switches

After the very successful geon raws

And Lucifer

[glacial wind]

honestly the geon raw is good enough for most of the regular folks already

[fluid ravine]

i need to get more lighter gmk sets, the shine is really noticeable on darker tones esp black

i can only notice shine on my botanicals if theres light hitting it

[glacial wind]

his crowd is way more mx focused, so a lot of them don't care about stability improvements that come from newer HE switches

and sound wise geon raw honestly still sound great

[regal patio]

Still, I think they would create a Gateron like empire

[glacial wind]

geon does stuff because he finds it neat, i don't think he really cares about making an empire

[fluid ravine]

has there been any news at all about the f1-8x-fe?

i remember pochizo wanting that kit so bad but its been who knows how long 😭

although it would be sorta neat to make a geon raw v2 i feel like it wouldnt make sense to make it out of nowhere

esp if its going to be just a tolerance change

materials change wouldn't make sense either cus its in the raw lineup where they use undyed raw nylon and/or PC

while also being cost effective

[glacial wind]

not sure actually. I saw some of his other projects were finally coming out, like the tkl case he was making for ages

[fluid ravine]

damn cus i know he been working on f1-8x v2 or wtv and theyve been out for some time but for a lite version of it im surprised it hasn't dropped yet
well if he has his reasons, can't do much about that

imagine its a project he forgot

never mind i read the updates one more time, makes sense now

new manu, new injection methods, new molds

still in work

2 years of work and hella rework rip

[cloud crane]

I think some are in prototype phase

[fluid ravine]

fr? did he talk about it in stream?

[cloud crane]

Lots of projects

[fluid ravine]

[cloud crane]

Possibly

[fluid ravine]

true

[cloud crane]

Making stuff is hard

[fluid ravine]

that'd be cool but will wait if theres a official announcement

[fluid ravine]

it really is xd

props to bread cat on making their own 2he case as well sheesh

[cloud crane]

🔥

[uneven cradle]

some new stuff from geon would be cool

[fluid ravine]

indeeeed

i mean he doesn't make a lot of MX switches himself too no?

[cloud crane]

I wonder when the HE switch John Omnitype teased will release

[fluid ravine]

gotta talk about HMX too

HMX... new molds when

[fluid ravine]

been slightly disappointed with their releases

new molds and new material combo when

jade is a mineral

Like gateron naming system or something

Now tf this mean gateron

[quasi hinge]

Takes some getting used to

[regal patio]

Are hmx and wingtree HE switches any good?

[cloud crane]

No

Wait for them to release new stuff

They are at least competitive in terms of pricing though

[tropic cradle]

Ah, I see. You have any reqs for non HE thocky switches?

[cloud crane]

Any switch will sound "thocky" in a board full of foam

[thin flicker]

Hall effect switches or mechanical switches?

[regal patio]

Keygeek y2

For example

Im not into MX boards that much so maybe someone who is into it can tell you more

@trail baneIf this set of keycaps comes out, get them for your Gehirn

[trail bane]

Nah

[stoic ocean]

what do you plan to take

[trail bane]

Klassiker is the way

[stoic ocean]

For my Gehirn in Mechmeleon, I'm thinking of going with the KKB Angel and the Aged, I don't know yet.

[stoic ocean]

I admit it's better it adds a nuance

@trail bane That could be pretty too

[loud zephyr]

for containment, mutagen might be one of the plays imo

[sacred elm]

Black CF ordered, now we wait

[fringe quarry]

Maybe i shouldnt have bought a atlas

[sacred elm]

what's wrong with it

[fringe quarry]

nothing

but split kinda a gimmick and 65% would be more practical

[river shore]

anybody got experience w the tofu60 vs the freebird60 and has thoughts about the sound?

[glacial wind]

honestly both super similar. I've owned both cases although i sold my freebird60 now

just go with whichever design you prefer

I do think tofu60 redux dimensions were slightly better qc though as freebird60 sometimes had mounting points that were a bit tight

[regal patio]

What were the most hyped switches 1 year ago?

[sacred elm]

TTC POM, Geon Raw, Jade Pro

[regal patio]

I have jade pro's in my 80he build

And every time I type on the board I get surprised how bad those sound

But luckily I have the keytok nova's in my 60hev2 build

[sacred elm]

They're probably dry now. Fresh Jade Pros sound nice

or hand lubed

[regal patio]

Ye

Hopefully my keytok nova's don't dry out that fast

[sacred elm]

Nova should be fine, they're also very stable. Jade Pros were wobbly and it affected the sound a bit

[broken notch]

Where di you order?

I have likely asked this before but my mind is a sieve

[urban ingot]

I have Flux Deep Clacky and Novas on the way. I think the Flux were a waste of money and I won't even try them though. I'm excited to put the Nova's in my 80HE though.

[regal patio]

🥀

[regal patio]

The nova's are very good

The fluxes are less muted than keytok nova's

[urban ingot]

That's what I'm seeing. I didn't really look into them until after I bought them.

[fringe quarry]

wobble could be better on novas

[regal patio]

You might prefer how the fluxes sound yk

[urban ingot]

I guess I could try them, the worst thing is I just take them out.

[regal patio]

Ye

Nova's might have brighter rgb

[urban ingot]

I have an FR4 plate in my 80HE. It's quite loud even with switch foam/PET film with the Lekker Tikken.

[broken notch]

I mean

Fluxies are never wasted money IMO

Are you European?

[regal patio]

It will work great with both

Remember that the PC plate gives deeper sound tho

I use POM plate for my 60v2 build with the keytok nova's

[urban ingot]

If you're asking if I'm European. No I'm not.

[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

POM plate

[broken notch]

I was going to offer a sale haha

[little glen]

so thats why theres so many people coming in asking about jades lately

jades = chatgpt switch, ufo = tiktok switch

[sacred elm]

at least ufos are good, don't shit on it like that smh

[urban ingot]

I haven't had any desire to even try the Jades. The only old switch I regretted buying was the Geon RAW.

[little glen]

i knew it was popular on tiktok when there were a bunch of people ive never seen coming into chat glazing it like the second coming of christ

[little glen]

i like the sound of the raw but its a bit outdated otherwise

[little glen]

not saying its bad, just that there is a common link between a lot of the people that only talk about ufo

[broken notch]

I like my UFOs :(

And I don't watch tiktok!

[urban ingot]

I want to try the UFOs, I'm just not willing to spend $270 for 90 of them.

[broken notch]

They're much cheaper now

I think

[urban ingot]

Every place I've found other than Gravastar (which is always sold out) in the US wants over $26 US per 10 pack.

[broken notch]

I paid 120usd for 60+15?

I can't remember now

I have a big tin and a small tin

[urban ingot]

I don't want them that bad.

[trail bane]

Yoooo there’s a chance to use different pcb on neo60cu

Fly daughterboard fits perfectly*

[little glen]

show

venom in a neo60cu sounds awesome

[trail bane]

I want to think it over properly and pick the right switches and so on

[little glen]

do you need to make new screw holes?

[trail bane]

Bit finicky but yeah

[little glen]

🥀

hoped it would be compatible by default

[trail bane]

I might try this at my leisure.

[little glen]

i'd love to see a HE neo60cu tho

[trail bane]

I'll probably even start now/this week, since I still don't have switches for the MX build

[little glen]

who needs MX anyway

Looks Sexy as fuck

god damn tho that side profile

Gravastar has a dozen of different shorts showcasing the UFO's

(And their keyboard)

[tropic urchin]

One of the few rare times TikTok was onto something

[stoic sparrow]

Are those black thingies supposed to go under the screw to protect the board?

[humble surge]

You can get purples for 633,02 CNY ~91,63 USD
and Silvers for 708,26 CNY ~102,52 USD at the moment

(87 and 85 pieces)

[urban ingot]

Where?

[humble surge]

TaoBao, but you would need to wait until end of February atleast for it to ship

[crimson widget]

whats the difference between the purples and the silvers?

[humble surge]

color

[regal patio]

Just color

[crimson widget]

oh

[humble surge]

But the RGB is also brighter due to that

[crimson widget]

might pick some up but the owlabs are doing me good

[stoic sparrow]

Anyone know what these are?

[urban ingot]

Yeah, that website won't work for me. Trying to change the language to English doesn't result in proper character mapping.

I'll just wait for Gravastar to get them back in stock, if I don't lose interest in them by then.

I'm honestly more excited for the Nova which should arrive in the next couple of days.

[regal patio]

Honestly buy whichever are cheaper

If they are priced the same I would personally choose the silver ones over the purple ones

(Silver have brighter rgb)

[crimson widget]

any reason to switch to them from the owlabs?

[regal patio]

They are more stable

[crimson widget]

oh

is that about it

[regal patio]

They have different sound

They have a different weight

They feel different

[crimson widget]

ahh fair

thanks

90 is crazy for some switches though

[regal patio]

Ye

I have the keytok nova

[crimson widget]

oh god

thats like what 150?

[regal patio]

That are even more expensive

Yes

But there was a cool code that made them 20% off

(Doesn't work now)

[crimson widget]

why do people spend 100+ on switches

[regal patio]

The UFO switches are like a deep louder sound

Listen to some sound tests

[regal patio]

Expensive hobby yk

[crimson widget]

maybe im not deep enough in the rabbit hole to understand

[warped glade]

The dumb thing about the Nova is that the switches are great, but pricey
Then you get them and look at the packaging and think, “these could have cost less without all this shit”

[regal patio]

There are plenty online for the UFO'S

[regal patio]

Ye

The packaging is like 50% of the cost

Every switch is packed into a different box

[warped glade]

I just can’t fathom why? Is there demand for that?

[regal patio]

And those boxes are packed into another boxes

[regal patio]

No

Maybe it just looks premium

For some people

[warped glade]

It does look really nice!

[regal patio]

Idk how is this legal in EU

The amount of waste :(((

[fringe quarry]

[glacial wind]

I’m still confused at why they did that

Like if it was a limited edition release or something maybe I can see

[humble surge]

because the really good ones feel worth it, i originally paid 150$ for 87 at release

[glacial wind]

Keyboard is a hobby so some people have more disposable income to spend on hobby basically

[humble surge]

I'm fairly new to it, yet it was justifiable, not that i have alot of disposable income at all

[chilly mural]

maybe for placebo effect, each switch are soo good they have to individually packaged to retain its goodness from factory.

[tropic urchin]

To preserve the expert factory lubing

[cloud crane]

[tropic urchin]

Is what you meant

[regal patio]

Thanks

[cloud crane]

Are we vacuum sealing our switches in airtight packaging next

[tropic urchin]

@glacial wind the marbly church is humbling requesting your WS diamond thoughts

Can’t say much publicly yet as they haven’t released anything publicly yet

[tropic urchin]

🥀

Wuque getting ready to spite me and the rest of the marbly church with the first ever $3.50 per switch aren’t they

[chilly mural]

at least it still cost less than a new kit of high end ram

[tropic urchin]

Idk don’t tempt them

It’s not too late to delete that comment before the marketing department sees that

[chilly mural]

naur, unlike ram they got competition

[cloud crane]

[tropic urchin]

They sure don’t act like it

[chilly mural]

gotta act tuff to be tuff

[tropic urchin]

The only difference between them and Gateron is that they make good switches but with premium tier delulu

[chilly mural]

in any case, wont be insane to think that people will have more money on keebs when they can't afford to get new pc parts

whats a $500 keevs to $2000 gpu?

[tropic urchin]

1/4 of the way gone in flames

@cloud crane tom packed my PP plate before POM what the helly

[cloud crane]

Lol

Tom knows pp plate is better

[tropic urchin]

Ordered pp on Feb 6 vs Feb 1 for POM, wonder if I’ll get both same day would be sick

[urban ingot]

Not that expensive compared to a lot of other hobbies. You don't even want to know what I've spent on car audio. And I'm not even talking about subwoofers.

[fringe quarry]

ye my hobby is space travel

[chilly mural]

yesh, rhythm game is my hobby, Going to arcade prop cost me like $2000 and another $2000 for home setup

and it mixed with my audio spending

[cloud crane]

Considering jumping into the homelabbing hellhole

[quasi hinge]

Why are you going cf?

[sacred elm]

Because white plate bothers me, I don't like white between my keycaps. Also wanted to test CF in my v2 and see how it sounds with Fluxes and UFOs

[quasi hinge]

Feels nice with the UFOs

a little heavy but getting used to them

[sacred elm]

Yea, you'll get used to it

[urban ingot]

CF more rigid than FR4 yeah?

[sacred elm]

yes, CF is stiffer

[quasi hinge]

I just chose it because of that. Figured it would be best for gaming lol

even if marginal

[sacred elm]

I actually preferred FR4 when I used 80HE, but I'll probably main CF now

[urban ingot]

I might buy the CF plate for the V2. I like the FR4 plate on my 80, but I plan on using the 60 just for gaming.

I like the foam sandwich pad on the 80HE with the FR4, I know the 60 came with a foam pad, but I don't want to lose the friction mount, so I know there's no need to buy anything other than the plate for the V2. Decisions.

I haven't looked into cases for the 60, and I know there's a literal crap ton of them. Any cases that seem to stand out?

[quasi hinge]

Im maining the 80he, cant say. been out of the game a long time

[regal patio]

Gt-60, Tofu 60, WS Flux 64

Those are the most notable ones

[urban ingot]

Thanks. I guess I'll look at the Tofu and Flux cases. I have a GT-80 coming for my TenZ. I assume the GT-60 would be similar just smaller form factor?

[polar girder]

Yeah I wanted to love soft plastics for HE but I’m over it tbh

Want to try UFO’s tho tbh

Would match cosmos somewhat

[quasi hinge]

Just switched to them, there are super stable

[polar girder]

And looks like they’re still S tier for wobble and stability

[quasi hinge]

heavier than I thought, but getting used to them

[polar girder]

Yeah I’m still on TTC POM KOM atm

Yeah I like it light

That is one concern…

[quasi hinge]

Its noticeable

Im giving them a try for a while

If not, then ill try the TTC Horse

[polar girder]

Yeah nice

Those also interesting

[polar girder]

Only two I kind of care about rn

Are those clear UFO’s?

[quasi hinge]

If you are patient, just order a box of 10 of each

[quasi hinge]

Someone shared the link here

You need to use superbuy

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

paste into superbuy

[quasi hinge]

Silver

Have them on the whole board, they are heavier but the stability makes up for it

Ive always preferred a lighter switch

[regal patio]

Its on the kbdfans website

It has a wooden strip at the front

[nocturne mango]

Bought a v2 module yesterday for my wood gh60 case. I have a tray-mount pok3r pcb right now. I see the v2 pcb does not include poron/epdm layers. Would this be a good kit to use? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F62MDB3B or should I just get some EPDM since the module is only missing the bottom-most tray layer? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B151N6V4

from v2 faq

[ionic breach]

its not needed

[austere creek]

this is related to the case foam/silicon

not the sandwich material

[analog ridge]

anyone tried the caulk plate on their wooting which the slice 75he did?

[nocturne mango]

Yeah, but I'm not sure if I need or want case foam/silicone. Pretty sure at the bottom of this wood case is a felt layer.

The holy is hollow

How the name suggests

So that's why it sounds worse

[robust siren]

holy 🅱️ojus

[regal sparrow]

Ive noticed that if you have the bottom cover and add foam / tape / PBT keycaps its definitely serviceable in sound

[regal sparrow]

Still not as good sounding as the Tofu though. I actually brought my Optimum back into rotation since it sounds better with the CF plate

its gonna be a while before i build it out

but its more or less gonna look like my 60%

[charred yarrow]

i’m like completely new to keyboards do u have any recommendations on cool keycaps or any ways to make it sound better

[charred yarrow]

ohh das nice

[urban ingot]

I'm going to get the Tofu 60 in anodized purple. Just need to wait a few days.

[young viper]

I need to the tofu 3.0 to restock soon

[robust siren]

cool keycaps, tho pricey, but super high quality you can find from the following brands: GMK, KeyKoBo, PBTfans, Osume

as for sound, thats subjective

[robust siren]

some people like:
no foam, foam, silicone
loud, quiet, clacky, “thocky”
how soft or hard it feels to type on (plate materials)
keycap materials (plastic or ceramic, and the very rare few that uses metal)

[young viper]

Ceramic ones are weird but you need a good switch to go along with it or just sounds bad

[robust siren]

love whatever i got going on in my 60% build

[young viper]

So far my build rates like a 7 out of 10
