Gore is Vella wooting compatible

[robust siren]

i needa install split spacebar on my 60 again

[robust siren]

no

vella is center usb

uses a daughterboard

so venom or rakka pcbs

the only center usb case that works is the zoom64

[young viper]

Yeah cause it has a little board from scroll wheel right

[tropic urchin]

Only venom and other 60% MX boards iirc

[young viper]

I just need to get myself a rakka at this point

[uneven cradle]

Gerhirn also, but have a feeling we're gonna see more popping up shortly

[robust siren]

it has a usbc to usbc wire within the case, the others uses contact pins which the wooting doesnt have

[ionic breach]

tofu 3.0 too

and then one more incoming

[trail bane]

Would be nice to see Woot Knobs before gehirn

[regal patio]

It would be nice to see them at all

[uneven cradle]

Let em cook, they doing something new

[robust siren]

its still raw

[uneven cradle]

Well nobody's paid for anything yet unlike some of baions failed projects that the gerhirn will be helping pay for

[thorn zealot]

they still need help with bein paid 😭

i thought that was fixed awhile ago

with another gb

[uneven cradle]

Na synovia and gerhirn still helping pay for those

[thorn zealot]

i didnt think baion owed this much

[regal patio]

Wtf was that

Crypto thing?

[thorn zealot]

the baion thing?

awhile ago they had a gb for a kb

but for some reason that i forgot they couldnt fulfill the orders

so a bunch of ppl spent alot of $$$ for no kb

and now they are tryin to refund those ppl with these gbs

thats what ik

[ornate quest]

it was spam, that happens pretty often

[regal patio]

People keep falling for dumb crypto scams

[trail bane]

I trust you, cuz you have signed the NDA

My keebmat had finally arrived to the US from china

The real waiting game begins

[chilly mural]

that's surprising, CNY just ended

[fluid ravine]

Yeeee

My thing departed the day after the 14

After valentines

Right before CNY too

Wild

[thorn zealot]

im lucky i bought my mouse a week before cny

[urban ingot]

Other than outrageous fees, I'm getting stuff from China to the US in under a week. I ordered something that shipped from Poland 2 weeks ago and it's still in Europe.

[opal notch]

Looking for recommendations on RGB keys and HE switches. Are the black shine throughs that woot sell okay, or are there better?

[urban ingot]

If you want in your face RGB, looking into pudding style keycaps. I think the Wooting ones are good and done more tastefully.

[quick finch]

Nah for in your face RGB you get PC keycaps

[urban ingot]

Switches are subjective on what's the best. Wooting has a pinned list of almost all compatible switches with links to how they sound. Look into reviews on youtube beyond that if you care about RGB performance. Something with a colored shell isn't going to necessarily be good for RGB.

Fair enough, I guess you can't get more RGB than clear or damn near.

[robust siren]

wait why is keebox pcb mount stab cf plate iso and not ansi 💀

but their plate mount ver is ansi

[thorn zealot]

Just get typeplus and call it a day

🙂

[robust siren]

gt80 restocked on aliexpress 👀

shipping still kills it tho

[robust siren]

dont need to, i have extra clip in stabs from my rakka60 atlas

but thats kinda weird lol

[urban ingot]

Are the typeplus x yikb better than the knight v4? Or are they basically the same?

[thorn zealot]

Same

In terms of gettin good stabs that are easy to tune

Although the yikb are a bit harder to put together but not rly

[urban ingot]

I have an extra set of the knight v4, didn't know if it was worth trying the typeplus ones if they were any amount of difference.

[thorn zealot]

Nah ur good

[uneven cradle]

Both great

[glacial wind]

You’d be throwing money away buying another set of stabs

[uneven cradle]

Those yikb wires were an adjustment at first though

[glacial wind]

The only reason i swapped to yikb sets from knights is because they come in a 6 2u wire pack lol

[robust siren]

yikb 7u wire

[glacial wind]

Knights need me to buy 2 kits to get enough wires for my split

[thorn zealot]

Best 7u space I’ve ever used

[trail bane]

Gn

[young surge]

hey guys i just got my Magnetic Wave Keycap Set, its amazing but the space bar doesnt fit...

it has two ''crosses'' off center

[paper bison]

i dont even remember what stabs i have in my v2 ngl, i took the yikb out and put them in my 80he bc the rocking was annoying the life out of me with my dcf

i put some long pole stabs in the v2

[young surge]

the original design only has 3 ''crosses'' underneath.. and the two middle ones on the new space bar are offset it seems like it is not designed to fit my 60HE

[uneven cradle]

That's normal just put the keycap on

My spacebar for example

[young surge]

yeah im just retarded

thank you lmfaoo

[young viper]

Mine was like that and I physically could not tune them no matter what I did

[robust siren]

my yikbs are pretending to be a mouse

[urban ingot]

Crap, I didn't think about the fact that I wouldn't have enough 2U for my 60 v2. I guess I'm buying the yikb and putting the Knights in my TenZ.

Hmmm... actually, I have enough. Because I only used 4 in my 80 HE, so I have the 5th from my first set and I can leave the TenZ stock.

But then I'd still need to buy another set if I want to swap the stabs in my TenZ.

Pfft, my brain hurts.

[young viper]

Yeah tf is that even about, did you ever figure out what was causing it?

[stray tiger]

Or hear me out. Tune up those factory stabs and make them sound amazing

[young viper]

But knights are clear

They're kewl

[stray tiger]

U right

[robust siren]

hell no

i havent even touched it since i got the 80he

[lyric nimbus]

how do i tune stabs

[young viper]

Send me it😈

[urban ingot]

Add more lube to them.

[young viper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/s/DyYWelJcah

[urban ingot]

I don't have ping on my 60 v2 at all. There wasn't much to begin with other than the right space bar.

Maybe it's all in my head, but the Knights felt different in my 80HE aside from the sound.

Sound didn't really change after I added more lube to the stock ones vs the Knight V4.

[robust siren]

nah im gonna blow them up

[cinder thicket]

is the zinc v2 case for the 80he very easy to scratch?

[cloud crane]

Omnitype HE switch is called Heron

👀

[fluid ravine]

[cloud crane]

I would link the sound test but I get timed out for that 🤔

[urban ingot]

Don't think anyone has one yet.

But I'd assume they would have fixed that since it was one of the main problems with the v1.

[uneven cradle]

White zinc v2 is out and has improved resistance

Black zinc v2 still coming

[mild cargo]

Im getting the kdbfans silver andoised silver case for my 80he any tips on what keycap colour combos go best with it

[robust siren]

any, silver is so versitile

[mild cargo]

Was looking at red samurai and blue samurai

[robust siren]

im also planning to get a silver gt-80 in the future and i already have caps for it

i already have a vision of what it looks like cause i have a silver gt-60

im using blue keycaps

[mild cargo]

Thats sick

[robust siren]

heres my GT-60 (i havent fixed the alt and ctrl placement yet)

[robust siren]

id say you cant really go wrong with either

gmk samurais are pretty popular

[mild cargo]

I wanted taros but cant find anywhere in stock

[robust siren]

would also match brass accent pieces pretty well

[mild cargo]

I didnt fancy all the badges on my case

[robust siren]

i dont either, im planning to get it with no badges and a matching silver side accent piece

whenever their next sale is

[mild cargo]

I went silver strap might get any anime strap for it

[robust siren]

wait silver no badge is sold out?

well not like that matters, shippings gonna kill me anyways

[mild cargo]

You not getting with daughterboard

[robust siren]

i have the tenz 80he, i dont need a daughterboard

[mild cargo]

I got the normal one so i got daughterboard and silver strap buckle

[robust siren]

every prebuilt 80he has a daughterboard

[mild cargo]

I got it incase i ever need a spare

Sometimes i get heavy handed

[robust siren]

fair enough

[young viper]

@robust siren rakka cheaper on taobao? I can't get a link because my phone just hates taobao for some reason

[robust siren]

yeah

its 998 yuan but without switches

[thorn zealot]

is it decent atleast

[young viper]

Could you send me the link?

[robust siren]

you might even get the correct ledpcb from taobao

[young viper]

Zoom 64 is like 80 bucks on taobao I saw earlier lmaooo

[young viper]

Did you not? I never heard what happened with keybay

[robust siren]

hec no lmao, initially ordered a 7u spacebar unit and there was a pricing error
they canceled the order, amde me pay the difference and stuck me with a 6.25u

asked multiple times if it was 7u or 6.25u and they just kept saying it comes with a 7u wire which didnt even answer my question
i couldnt be assed to return it so i just kept it

its easier to warranty from keybay but its just more expensive

[young viper]

Bruhh

So don't order from keybay got it

[robust siren]

they changed the listing on their website because of me

[robust siren]

i also cant access taobao

[young viper]

I'll find it when I'm home lmao

[young viper]

Lmaooo

[robust siren]

the image search isnt working

and well obviously i cant type into the search bar

[cinder thicket]

What are the best cases for the 80he that i can purchase? Im from EU

[robust siren]

well theres only a handful

Wooting Zinc cases
KBDfans GT-80
KBDfans Holy80
Ego80 (on aliexpress, GT-80 clone)
Bone80

idk if im missing one

[cloud crane]

Not too sure yet, maybe

[tropic urchin]

You’re not, it’s that small 😭

[robust siren]

count it on one hand

[tropic urchin]

Which is why I went Vella, no fun 80HE cases are gonna happen

[thorn zealot]

wym

are u gatekeepin a he switch from usss

[cloud crane]

No I'm not 😭

https://m.twitch.tv/videos/2700823350
I have this link but no audio on my end

[tidal frigate]

You know, you can have vods audio track without music

[cloud crane]

I don't use twitch so I wouldn't know

[tidal frigate]

@cloud crane it is not your livestream?

[cloud crane]

No LMAO

[young viper]

@robust siren no official listings, tons of second hand ones on superbuy

[robust siren]

i saw a few on taobao tho

oh well

[young viper]

I got the links, but superbuy doesn't want to recognize them

[green flume]

[robust basin]

anyone know the best stabs i can order for my wooting 60he module? tofu case

[sacred elm]

Knight v4 is what most choose

[robust basin]

is this fine then?

[sacred elm]

yes

[broken notch]

I wonder, why do we recommend the knights? What's special about them compared to others?

[sacred elm]

Because they're easier to work with, and they're one of the few options that properly fit the 60HE+ plate. Some other popular stabilizers like Typeplus, TX AP, and Staebies aren't fully compatible because they're too thick

[young viper]

Clearrr

@fluid ravine mx black clone

[empty crescent]

Question for the modding fans here, I’ve got a 60hev2 module & switches arriving today. I’ve also got a tofu redux 60 as well with a weighted plate.

First time doing all this. Is it best to change the internal module plate to the foam (I think it’s foam?) one that comes with it instead of the default one inside? And then screw mount the weight in the case, add the EPDM foam and then screw the module to the case?

[sacred elm]

No, use the module as it is, then screw one screw in the top left to ground the module. Preinstalled friction fit pad provides cleaner and more consistent sound across the board. Using provided foam and fully screwing the module in the case won't sound as good

[empty crescent]

You my friend are a hero, is it still advised to add the foam before adding the module to the case?

[sacred elm]

You only use provided foam sandwich pad when your case isn't friction fit compatible. Tofu60 Redux is compatible with the v2 friction fit, so you don't need to use the foam at all

[sacred elm]

Yes, you can add a case foam if you want. Will make sound less hollow

[empty crescent]

Makes perfect sense, so literally just add weight bar, and case foam. then screw the module in (top left only)

[sacred elm]

Correct. You don't need to fully screw in the screw btw, just install it loosely in the top left

[empty crescent]

Legend, thank you so much.

[sacred elm]

There's this video https://youtu.be/yFVUqHdHFVI

[spiral crater]

has anybody heard of keysnap/pcbsnap?

just wondering if maybe that might work with my wooting 80he

to use without pcb foam

[little glen]

I dont think it would work

But you are welcome to be the first person to try

[glacial wind]

Not really designed for our 80he so it shouldn’t work

[sacred elm]

I mean you can already use foam gasket no?

[spiral crater]

did u perhaps know of any way to use a foamless 80he? without silicone / foam gasket?

[spiral crater]

the plate foam gasket?

[sacred elm]

yes

[little glen]

I had a theory but it would be very weird and would require a lot of modification

[spiral crater]

ah i was trynna look for a completely foamless, no silicone / foam way of using it

i was thinking either maybe try an oring or pcb/keysnap

[spiral crater]

hit me

[little glen]

If you‘re down to try i can tell you what i came up with

Basically you get a custom plate with tabs where the silicone blocks are on the sides

Then you need to cut the silicone blocks off the sandwich pad to have them separate

And then you need to cut into them slightly so that the plate sits flush on them again

[spiral crater]

ooooooo wait that could genuinely work, cuz then the poron plate foam comes with traditional poron gaskets and i can just create an overhang on the plate file so that they rest on that like a normal poron gasket

[little glen]

Basically you just use the silicone blocks and use the plate to secure the board against them

[broken notch]

Can someone confirm for me these will work on my 60HE v2?

I just found this on AliExpress:
TYPEPLUS X YIKB Screw-in Stabilizer Customized Mechanical Keyboard Accessories PCB Screw Satellite Axis PCB 100% Layout Gaming
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGhzk0C

[little glen]

Most annoying part of this concept is that you‘d have to destroy a silicone sandwich pad which is not sold separately

[broken notch]

(split spacebar with one button original stab)

Or is it smarter to just buy the 4 small stab set?

[little glen]

And you‘d need to make some precise ass cuts to have the plate be flush with the top of the silicone blocks, while being uniform accross the whole keyboard

[spiral crater]

ooo i was more thinking of using the poron gaskets, instead, cuz the place i got the poron foam also shipped with like these things, wouldn't just resting the plate on these work? like one above and below?

[little glen]

They are too thin

Look at how massive the 80he silicone pieces are

[spiral crater]

ahhhh yeah thats true

[little glen]

If you have a metal case you could also do some modifications on that and poron gasket it that way

But that sounds even more annoying

[little glen]

Should work with split space yeah

I think thats what sno said

[spiral crater]

i do have the gt80, not the default case, and currently its using the poron plate foam resting on a lot of those poron strips

[broken notch]

Because the Knight v4 are like 30 euros shipping D:

Hate to drop money like that

[fringe quarry]

ore60% looks interesting

[little glen]

Shipped to where

[broken notch]

Belgium

[little glen]

Oh knight stabs are sold out on deltakeyco 🥀

Yeah idk but honestly you should be fine just tuning the stock stabs

[broken notch]

Yeah

I'mma stay stock

Maybe tune them a lil

[trail bane]

@little glen neither rakka or venom aren't compatible with 60CU mostly because hidden screw design creates interference with the pcb

[little glen]

[broken notch]

Jed is going to have a day ™ when he wakes up

[little glen]

love that erik came up with a bunch of new work he should do

[broken notch]

Yeah, Jed is perfect for this. All the things.

[glacial wind]

I seem to have acquired a few new roles this livestream

[broken notch]

Yup

[cinder thicket]

what would you guys choose?

i really like all of them lol

[sly palm]

I like pink

[broken notch]

I have the middle one from aliexpress

It's cheap and not so good

[ionic breach]

i mean id choose the red

[proven wadi]

i would go pink > blue > red 🙂

[left depot]

[ionic breach]

all of them are just too much i think

[cinder thicket]

evangelion is my fav anime of all time but i think this is ugly

[humble surge]

Neither, the fact that each choice has white caps in it is disgusting

hmm, hub soon i guess

[regal patio]

Look at that lovely AI logo at the bottom

[cinder thicket]

yea

its to see how it would look

im choosing this, eva 00 with white zinc

[regal patio]

Oh alr

Great use of ai tbh

I love the new nano banana from Google

[regal patio]

Looks great

Maybe look at the gt80

[cinder thicket]

you gotta write the prompt really well to nanobanana, if you dont, the AI will post random shit

[regal patio]

Or like bone 80 or something

Have you looked at those other cases?

Personally I really like the looks of the gt80

[cinder thicket]

yes but white zinc v2 is cheaper

[regal patio]

Hmm okay

[cinder thicket]

but im worried about scratches

[regal patio]

The V2 should be fixed

[cinder thicket]

if its really easy to scratch then im not interested

[regal patio]

The V1 had scratches

Like the new iphone pro

[humble surge]

Knobs when
GMK Selene when

[regal patio]

Never

The true answer

[wanton aspen]

hey guys, i just orderd a v2, ive never really dabbled in modding/ customizing keyboards. i might eventually be interested in switching key caps since i can do it with the v2. would it effect the performance at all and what are some good sites? im pretty big into anime, but anything with cool design would be appreciated.

[regal patio]

You can buy good keycaps from sites like: pbtfans, gmk or osume

Keycaps don't affect performance (unless you care about the texture of your keycaps)

[wanton aspen]

thank you , ill check it out. appreciate it

[ionic breach]

heres a link of vendors based on region

[regal patio]

Are you swapping out your switches or nah?

[ionic breach]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[regal patio]

Honestly if you just care about gaming the Lekker tikkens are great

They are much better than the Lekker v2's

[wanton aspen]

me? lol idk ive been watching some videos of ppl doing alot of customizing. i dont wanna mess anything up, switching the keycaps looked relatively easy though 😂

[wanton aspen]

appreciate you

[regal patio]

It is

Honestly changing out switches isn't that hard

But that's probably for people who care about the sound

[wanton aspen]

i currently have the logitech g915, didnt realize the keyboard wasnt very customizable at the time. once i get my v2, and i mess with it a bit, i might look into doing more with it. the sound sounded pretty good from the videos i watched, ecspecially with the foam instead of silicone.

[empty crescent]

Does the 60he v2 module not come with any case foam?

Is that only when ordered as a full unit

[glacial wind]

Correct, case foam is with the case not the module

[crystal rose]

i wish i could get a ghost case like the one from the wooting 80he tenz takeover for my wooting 60he

[ionic breach]

flux60

[crystal rose]

thats a module...

[ionic breach]

its a case

it has kits with pcbs

but its a case

oh its called zoom

my bad

[crystal rose]

i dont want that weird glow case tho, i just want like a cool nice black translucent case

[bleak jolt]

Hello guys, I have a quick question. I just finshed my custom build for the wooting. I just have one problem. Somehow it feels weird typing on it. First it is very quit and second i have to use significantly more pressure while typing. I use a tofu60 redux case with the brass weight. Anyone knows what the issue might be ? Im pretty sure also didnt use too much or too little for the lubing

I hope someone can help with this. I already postet in community support as well.

[crystal rose]

did you switch the switches or are they stock?

[ionic breach]

sounds like overlubing

[bleak jolt]

I didnt

[bleak jolt]

geon raws

[sacred elm]

Yea sounds like you overlubed them. Did you lube the magnet area?

[bleak jolt]

No I didnt

I am pretty sure I didnt

I used as little as possible

[bleak jolt]

I didnt touch the magnet area

[sacred elm]

post a video

[ionic breach]

did u lube the top area of the stems

not the +, but beside it

[regal patio]

Wooting has some soundtests

Also there are some on YouTube

[bleak jolt]

One sec

[bleak jolt]

I did

[regal patio]

So maybd you'll get some inspiration

[regal patio]

That's why they feel sluggish

[ionic breach]

u shouldnt

[bleak jolt]

U mean were the magneti s

[torn spruce]

how are u supposed to put it in if u cant bend the cable

[bleak jolt]

if thats what u mean no

[ionic breach]

no

the top part of the stem, touching the upper housing

[bleak jolt]

I watched a tutorial on youtube that has is pretty popular

[regal patio]

Unplug it

[bleak jolt]

show me a picture pls

I am too dumb

sorry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNx1_d0HbQ&t=461s

I did exactly what he did

Was that wrong ?

[ionic breach]

when u take the switch apart theres the stem which is the plastic part inside

[bleak jolt]

Listen

[ionic breach]

dont lube the upper part, just the sides

[torn spruce]

then what im confused

[bleak jolt]

Here the video

[bleak jolt]

Is that normal

left and right side perfect

middle so quiet

[ionic breach]

yes

thats normal

[bleak jolt]

huh ?

why

[ionic breach]

so like a trampoline

u hit the corners its harder

and its softer if u jump more in the middle

[bleak jolt]

and here I am thinking I did something wrong

[ionic breach]

nah u good

wym by its hard to press tho

[regal patio]

That's the friction fit right?

[ionic breach]

seems fine

[ionic breach]

no all mountings honestly

[sacred elm]

alpha keys will sound brighter once the lube settles

also bigger keys on the sides will always sound louder

[bleak jolt]

there is something like pressing against, its not smooth

thats the best way I can explain it

[ionic breach]

like the top part of the keypress travel when u slightly touch it?

yea thats the part u cannot lube

its just a geon raws issue

even stock factory lube has the issue

[bleak jolt]

Damn

[sacred elm]

yeah, if you want to fix that, you'll need to wipe the lube off the stem and the top housing

like where the stem touches the top housing

[bleak jolt]

And something else. Every time I close the wooting software my keyboard starts bugging. Like it’s doesn’t type anymore, rgb changes etc

[sacred elm]

disable RGB software in the background

[ionic breach]

u need to make sure the profiles are saved and active

[bleak jolt]

I did

[bleak jolt]

I did

[sacred elm]

replug

[bleak jolt]

I’m gonna restart my pc

This is so weird

It seems to work now

I hope it stays that way

[bleak jolt]

I was thinking buying gravastar switches

they sound amazing

but 80 euros is crazy

[ionic breach]

a lot of people here like it yea

i mean its a little ex for my liking as well

i think the ttc and flux just broke everyone's sense of value lol

[bleak jolt]

dont the gateron jade sound almost like the geon raws

[lyric nimbus]

ITS HAPPENING

[sacred elm]

They're both clacky, but a bit different

[sacred elm]

Jades are deeper

[lyric nimbus]

gotta wait for the epoxy to cure

[bleak jolt]

would you recommend me to switch to the jades

[ionic breach]

looks gud

[sacred elm]

No

[bleak jolt]

ok

[sacred elm]

#🪛│modding_faq message

Jades are outdated and not worth it anymore

[bleak jolt]

So I am good for now with the geon raws

man lubing these switches was a pain in the asss

[ionic breach]

raws are fine

[tropic urchin]

Most of the newer gen switches will be upgrades from RAWs, so whenever you feel like you want to upgrade them you can

Should be hitting the new switch cycle hopefully

[bleak jolt]

Alrght. thanks

Gravastar, really hit me nerves

they sound so good

[tropic urchin]

When the day arrives and you want to swap them, buy a new switch puller

(TX AP/Wuque titanium puller)

RAWs are going to be a bitch to remove

[bleak jolt]

Honestly I didnt struggle with that at all

I had to remove a couple today

wasnt that hard

[tropic urchin]

You probably weren’t using the plastic Wooting puller

That shit is big ass

[bleak jolt]

honestly, putting them in was harder than removing them

[bleak jolt]

I wasnt haha

[robust siren]

type shit

[bleak jolt]

I bought separate ones

[robust siren]

bought the keyboards just for the wooting pullers

[bleak jolt]

these are ass

I tried them

[tropic urchin]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The 4 horsemen of dog shit

[ionic breach]

i lost mine

[robust siren]

i have 2 other switch pullers so im fine

one from TX and the other is the gateron 3in1

[bleak jolt]

cool

I am going to buy new ones as well

man I have to get used to the wooting... its so fast haha

[robust siren]

theres also a tx 5in1

[bleak jolt]

every single error is being registered

[robust siren]

but 2 of those uses are kinda useless

[bleak jolt]

haahah

[tropic urchin]

I’m glad you have a competent puller tho, the Wooting one is a bad time for RAWs

[robust siren]

brute force the raws out

[bleak jolt]

the raw way

[tropic urchin]

I’m surprised I didn’t break mine getting raws out

[robust siren]

white microplastics everywhere

[bleak jolt]

anyone else struggling with this ? Or do I need to change the actuation point

[tropic urchin]

I was white knuckling that shit and it never moved

[robust siren]

you can just change actuation points

i have seperate profiles for typing and gaming

[bleak jolt]

what do you recommend for simple typing ?

[robust siren]

you can also just lower it gradually over time if youd like

[robust siren]

like anywhere between 1.5-2mm

[humble surge]

🙂‍↕️

[robust siren]

i have my spacebar on like 3mm tho

[bleak jolt]

hahah mine was at 0.1

lmao

[robust siren]

typing on .1 is painful

[bleak jolt]

Yeah I just figured

ahhh much better

thank god

omg

[sly palm]

I use 0.5 for typing

[robust siren]

1.5-2mm is the standard actuation range for most mechanical switches

[ionic breach]

.7 is what i used now

[bleak jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/bills-ugh-gif-9811803164280522639

[robust siren]

so itll feel "normal"

[ionic breach]

used to be .15

need to make more dks macros tho

[bleak jolt]

but yeah back to the gravastar switches. 80 euros for 90 peaces is crazy.. At that point I can just go for a whole keyoard

[ionic breach]

they are so useful for my typing profile

[ionic breach]

buy official flux pricing

[bleak jolt]

what is that

[ionic breach]

180 for 90 pieces

[bleak jolt]

jesus

[sly palm]

[ionic breach]

but its like 40 dollars for 90 on aliexpress

the official price is just too much

[bleak jolt]

how that fak is it that much cheaper on aliexpres

doesnt make any sense

[robust siren]

factory reselling leak prob

[bleak jolt]

Are they worth it ?

[ionic breach]

for 40 bucks?

probably the most worth switch

[bleak jolt]

I dont know where u got the 40 bucks from ?

[torn spruce]

anyone?

[ionic breach]

one min

bend it

[pseudo whale]

Holy guys I just discovered my new favorite switch for the wooting: Gateron magnetic moonlight

Like a slightly dimmed version of the jade pros

[bleak jolt]

come again ?

[ionic breach]

35 for 90

[bleak jolt]

send me the link pls

[ionic breach]

no, msg was for shankz

[bleak jolt]

merci

[sacred elm]

most of those sellers aren't available in Germany

[bleak jolt]

damn bro

[ionic breach]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011609725538.html

[bleak jolt]

yeah not available in germany

[ionic breach]

dcf is the more popular one tho

the pink and white

[torn spruce]

u can’t the cable js doesn’t allow for any bend

[ionic breach]

just bend it, its a cable

its not like metal

[bleak jolt]

there is no way to get the gravastar switches off market cheaper right?

only from there official website ?

[bleak jolt]

damn bro, so dissamble the whole thing again and go through each switch

Thats so exhausting.

[sacred elm]

Let it break in first, it might get better

[bleak jolt]

okay. fair point. I just finished the build

Was it wrong to screw-in the motherboard to the case ?

I see people on youtube that use tape to cover the corners, is that something that suppose to help ?

[regal patio]

On ali its probably cheaper

[bleak jolt]

cant find them on ali

[regal patio]

Hmm

Maybe they dont ship to Germany

Or something

What sound profile are you aiming for?

[bleak jolt]

UPS

[bleak jolt]

creamy.

gravastar is a good example

[regal patio]

So like a deep poppy sound?

[bleak jolt]

yes

[regal patio]

I have keytok nova's in my wooting

[humble surge]

Ain't it chief, that listing

[bleak jolt]

I thought the geon would be it, because I watched sound tests on ytb but it doesnt sound like it at all..

[regal patio]

One of the deepest sounding switches rn

[regal patio]

Thats an bright sounding switch

[bleak jolt]

gonna look it up

[regal patio]

Also the board is the sum of its parts

[bleak jolt]

doesnt sound bright on my keyboard at all

like at all

[regal patio]

117$ for 90

That's thd issue...

I bought with a discount code

That was patched in a week

[bleak jolt]

I can only find 10 pcs on their website

[sacred elm]

which module and case

[humble surge]

true and real
keyword transparent

[bleak jolt]

60 he v2 module and tofu60 redux

[regal patio]

The foams and the plate also affect the sound

[sacred elm]

Did you swap the silicone friction fit pad with the included poron layer?

[ionic breach]

transparent stems?

thats crazy

[regal patio]

nova nova nova

[bleak jolt]

no

[humble surge]

it's

maybe actually? i don't remember

[regal patio]

It has a purple piece

Inside

[humble surge]

but the body is, the case is

[sacred elm]

Then why did you screw in the module?

[bleak jolt]

people on youtube say u should

[ionic breach]

oh icic

[bleak jolt]

I just watched tutorials

[sacred elm]

You watched wrong tutorials

[sly palm]

This a keyboard or a flashlight?

[bleak jolt]

and even if, I tried both with and without and not a big difference

[humble surge]

by the looks of my sh1t picture it's colored semi transparent stem

[regal patio]

It is bright

Honestly every switch should be transparent

[humble surge]

both, multi purpose input device

[ionic breach]

its multiple pieces

[bleak jolt]

so I should not screw the module that was wrong ?

[sacred elm]

That's the whole point of friction fit, you don't use any screws

[bleak jolt]

Ok I will remove them

One moment

[sacred elm]

https://youtu.be/DF6i5ozV5bY
https://youtu.be/yFVUqHdHFVI

Remove all of them except the top left one

keep it there for grounding

Make it a bit looser if you fully screwed it in

[humble surge]

Thank god it's just a few more weeks to early March, time for case and to begin Invasion Phase 2 👽 🛸

[bleak jolt]

Ok let me watch the videos make the changes and get back to you

[sacred elm]

You need to watch the first half of the first video btw, ignore the second part

[bleak jolt]

ok

Should I remove all keycaps and switches again while going through the process ?

or keep it ?

[sacred elm]

no need to remove all keycaps

[bleak jolt]

ok

[sacred elm]

remove all screws except the top left one and that's all

[bleak jolt]

top left should I keep ?

alrigh

[sacred elm]

Keep it, but make it a bit looser

[bleak jolt]

ok done

I did it right to put the geon raw switches with the silver thingy on the top side right ?

sry hard to exlain

Like that

[sacred elm]

yes

[humble surge]

Mah man, cable bussin

[sacred elm]

that's the correct orientation

[cyan lark]

Is bussin good

[bleak jolt]

Im sorry for asking so many questions. But is it bad if the white foam between board and plate is a bit bended
?

there was no other way, every time I added the screws the bended a little

[humble surge]

zoomers use it all the time in the context of something positive, so i figured it must be good

[cyan lark]

Thanks brother

[sacred elm]

Try removing the module and then put the top side in the case first, like shown in this picture

[bleak jolt]

ok all done

quick reminder, I dont have the wooting case I use the tofu60 redux case

but I did exactly what was said in the video

I dont hear any big difference to be honest

[sacred elm]

It's the same for Tofu, just need to use one single screw in the top left to ground the module

[bleak jolt]

I did that

Thank you for the help

but Like I said not a big difference sound wise. I guess thats just how it sounds like. Maybe its because of the brass weight that I added in the tofu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxYrYjhXi5A&t=760s

[bleak jolt]

I watched this guy before and he screwed in the the whole keyboard

but nvm.

[final meadow]

Hey guys I have a question about custom keycaps for my Wooting 80HE

I wanna get these ones I saw online but I have no clue if they’re compatible with my keyboard or not

https://novelkeys.com/products/gmk-cyl-shinseiki-keycaps?variant=46269525360807

I have the base model Wooting atm and I’m not very familiar with modding keyboards so I thought I’d come ask the pros

[sacred elm]

They're compatible

[final meadow]

Fuck yes! Tysm!

I wanted to make sure to be safe cause I didn’t wanna spend that money without knowing if they’re compatible or not (would’ve been PAINFUL they arrived and not working for my keyboard)

[sacred elm]

99% of the keycap sets are compatible

[final meadow]

Ok amazing

I’ll keep that in mind for future purchases :)

Turn!

*tysm!

[crystal rose]

then you probably need to like change it or something

[bleak jolt]

Thats how they sound like. Youtube and having them actually in front of you is a big difference.

[lyric nimbus]

ok

is there a magic trick to installing plate mount stabs

THEY WONT CLIP IN

[sacred elm]

[bleak jolt]

I managed to find 70 pcs for 55 euros. Is that good?

[lyric nimbus]

like

idk if it's too tight but it's not clipping in

[sacred elm]

Not bad

[sacred elm]

plate issue?

[bleak jolt]

Are these the deep clacky ones. looks like the pink lotus

[sacred elm]

That's deep clacky

Pink lotus is also great

[bleak jolt]

merci

Ok I am going to try these. I am going to order those

They sound better than the gravastar.

Based on the things watched on youtube

[bleak jolt]

All of these links dont work for me

[sacred elm]

Not available for them, because Germany

[bleak jolt]

I am in germany

and they dont ship to germany

[humble surge]

neither?

[bleak jolt]

rip

[bleak jolt]

none of them work

[humble surge]

ahh

[bleak jolt]

if you send me the names of the switches I can look them up myself

[sacred elm]

Same switches, just different sellers

[bleak jolt]

ah ok

got it

[humble surge]

ahm thats odd, cause the formatting tells you that, and that reaction suggests you haven't even checked the listings lol

[bleak jolt]

No I just checked. If I change the region to US it shows me the oage

when I go back to germany and it doesnt show up

weird

In any case 55 euros for 70 pcs is not bad I think

Right ?

[bleak jolt]

70 euros for how many pieces?

[humble surge]

lets see

you can get max amount for less than 70 right now lol

[bleak jolt]

damn bro

germans getting scammed hard

let me try a different browser

[humble surge]

it's not the browser, just your location

you need a friend or a reshipper

[bleak jolt]

and where do I get that ?

U wanna be my friend ?

[humble surge]

47,49 EUR fo 90 right now, damn

might just get a set afterall next month

Nope, not me

[sacred elm]

Not bad as I said. People still buy Gateron switches for that price, Fluxes for that price is still good

[bleak jolt]

Unfortunately I cant get them any cheaper

the thing with aliexpress is that it search function is shit as well

sometimes it doesnt show the best offers

[humble surge]

ofcourse not

you find the good things in the related lists

or the more like this

[bleak jolt]

I think Ill just stick with the 70 pcs for 55 euros

I dont think I will get any better offers

[lusty socket]

what are some good switches for a creamy feeling for wooting 80he

[young viper]

Geon raptors trust

[fluid ravine]

[broken notch]

Gloopy tappy

[bleak jolt]

hahaha

[bleak jolt]

I just listened to them. I dont know, I think they are okay

[young viper]

They aren't creamy by any means, there's no creamy switches at all for he haha

[bleak jolt]

I dont believe any of these youtube sound test anyways. most are highly edited and dont sound like that irl at all

[broken notch]

Listen to Jeds

#🪛│modding_faq

[bleak jolt]

Ok. I finally found the issue, why I am not getting the poppy deep sound. The foam that comes with the tofu60 it completely isloates the sound. Gonna buy a new foam

any suggestions ?

[little glen]

Tried foamless?

[bleak jolt]

no

should I ?

[little glen]

Do that

[broken notch]

Was just about to say

[little glen]

Could also try poly fill

[bleak jolt]

Is that really better?

[broken notch]

The foam literally is a dampener

Do if you lack sound, try without

[bleak jolt]

Ok. Im going to try

[little glen]

Just try it man takes like 3 minutes to swap

[bleak jolt]

one momen t

[bleak jolt]

I know n

[fluid ravine]

Use some dense foam

Not too much
If you stack too much foam in a build then you'll be rejecting sound causing a mini clack

[bleak jolt]

Im going to send a comparison video so you can give me ur opinion

[young viper]

You're using the redux right?

[bleak jolt]

Yes

[young viper]

Earlier when you were talking about not noticing a difference between friction and not friction fit. The idea of friction is to reduce reverb. I use the same case and the spacebar can sound bad when you aren't using friciton

[fluid ravine]

Not eliminate. Reduce

[young viper]

Pftt same thing

[broken notch]

[bleak jolt]

So what you would u recommend now?

[fluid ravine]

Naur

[bleak jolt]

So without the foam it sounds better

[young viper]

A different case, Im not a huge fan of the redux rn only because it's annoying to get sounds right, but that's just me lol

[bleak jolt]

Better is the wrong word. Its just poppier.. if that makes sense

and its not that quiet anymore

but its not a huge difference

[broken notch]

The foam is not a necessary part of the build btw

It's safe to leave out if you prefer

[bleak jolt]

I couldnt find any better for the wooting... everyone is glazing redux hence why I bought it

[young viper]

Try removing the pet film?

[bleak jolt]

you mean the black one in the middle

[broken notch]

Nooooooo

[bleak jolt]

I dont know what pet film is supposed to mean

im srry

[fluid ravine]

Heres my personal suggestion about the redux, what we know is that its a really pingy and hollow case, I suggest all redux users to fill in the case cavity with weight as it will increase the density and will be less pingy. Foam wise, any dense foam works and personal favorite poly fill. Main focus here is to decrease or eliminate hollowness.

[bleak jolt]

Im new to this stuff

[cloud crane]

Are we copping new mx black clone 🅱️hockson

[young viper]

I need to buy some poly fill and try it myself

[fluid ravine]

Oh yeah I saw your pinged earlier in the morning at school

Gotta check it put

[cloud crane]

🗣️ 🔥

[fluid ravine]

It's great
Fucking love it but I dont use it in any of my build lul

[bleak jolt]

Did u remove it as well?

[young viper]

Nope, I haven't tried lol

It just sits on top the pcb anyways

[fluid ravine]

PET film is a thin plastic sheet that goes on top of the pcb. It's used as a sound acoustic modifier that tends to aim the mid frequencies and slightly lower the highs. It's like a filter

[bleak jolt]

so why remove it

I dont see the point

[fluid ravine]

Preference

It's like saying tape mod vs no tape mod

It's not a need

[bleak jolt]

Man all of this confuses me. All I want is a nice sounding keyboard haha

[young viper]

The store right next to my work has some for like 5 bucks, I'll pick some up tomorrow

[fluid ravine]

It takes time to understand how everything works ye. More knowledge is better

[bleak jolt]

I will try out poly fill

[fluid ravine]

W

[young viper]

Unless I have some poly fill upstairs lmao, let me check

[bleak jolt]

Now I see people saying on ytb that tightening up the screws with the case and board will also change the sound

[uneven cradle]

Nobody has perfected that nylon blend like cherry yet

[fluid ravine]

Time to murder a pillow

[young viper]

Cotton blend version, normal poly fill is pure polyester right?

Or I have this also lmaoo

[fluid ravine]

Use this one

[young viper]

Figured

[bleak jolt]

why do u have this at home lol haha

[young viper]

@bleak jolt does your redux also have a deadzone in the middle of the board? Like on the G key

[bleak jolt]

yes

[fluid ravine]

What mount?

[bleak jolt]

by deadzone u mean the screwhole right n

[fluid ravine]

Are you using tray mount right now?

[bleak jolt]

let me send u an image

[young viper]

I've had it with both mounts

[robust siren]

sup debtson

[bleak jolt]

That’s my redux with the brass weight installed

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine didnt you grind off the standoffs in your tofu

[fluid ravine]

Yeah

[bleak jolt]

Antything I should change here

try without the brass weight?

[young viper]

Piss poor sound environment, but the middle keys have a deadzone, real annoying

[bleak jolt]

I have the same problem

[bleak jolt]

difference between audio 1 and 2 ?

[young viper]

Look at the names

[bleak jolt]

bro I am not an expert in this

no idea what it means

[young viper]

Rty, fgh, and vbn are the 3 key sequences In the middle of the board, other is on the left side of the board

[bleak jolt]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

ok

mb

[robust siren]

hes just listing what keys hes pressing in the audio

[bleak jolt]

haha

Yes I have the same issue

let me send u mine

[robust siren]

superior method

[fluid ravine]

Any other mount>>>traymount

[robust siren]

oh that reminds me

i gotta swap back to split spacebar

but ill do that another day

[young viper]

It's still there with friction fit😭

[robust siren]

@fluid ravine thoughts on blue vs white spacebar with white first row

[fluid ravine]

Thats what happens when the the pcb makes contact with the case

[young viper]

How would I go about fixing that on the tofu? Removing the middle standoff?

[fluid ravine]

Why use the middle standoffs on first place

Yes remove the middle standoff

[bleak jolt]

you mean brass weight?

[fluid ravine]

Less direct contact with the case is always better

Thats why I grinded off all of my standoffs in my tofu

[bleak jolt]

bro I have so many standoffs here

rip

[cloud crane]

Plateless >>>>

[fluid ravine]

Ooo yeee

[bleak jolt]

Im going to try to tape the standoffsd

do you think that will do something

[fluid ravine]

Not really

Silicone standoff covers works better

[cloud crane]

When my +84 arrives maybe I should try plateless with pcbsnap 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[fluid ravine]

Theres only 4 lol (5 if you use the middle standoffs)

[bleak jolt]

I remove the silicon covers at the back side of the board, was that a bad idea

[fluid ravine]

Id use it tbh

[young viper]

I like standoff😭, only issue is that I need to ground the pcb in some way right?

[bleak jolt]

ok I will put them back

[fluid ravine]

Dont need to

[robust siren]

nah rawdog it

[fluid ravine]

Tbh I don't think you need to ground the pcb with any screws at all with friction mount

[robust siren]

i dont ground the rakka in the gt-60

[fluid ravine]

Plus doing so will create the hotspot directly to wear that screw point goes

[robust siren]

you do unless youre using the v2 or optimum case

[fluid ravine]

Because it adds pressure with the pcb and case contavt

[fluid ravine]

Eh?

[robust siren]

v2 and optimum case have the metal sponge

i mean you can sand down the finish on other cases for that too

[fluid ravine]

Thats there just to avoid any electrical zap that can potentially happen which is very least likely

[robust siren]

[uneven cradle]

We top mounting that bad boy

[cloud crane]

Ye top mount alu first then after I can experiment whatever

🤤

[trail bane]

Gn

[bleak jolt]

Final product

thats how it sounds like

ignore the background noise

Thats with the foam that comes with the tofu60, installed brass weight, i covered the standoffs with tape

[bleak jolt]

that also with the silicon covers.

[young viper]

@bleak jolt @fluid ravine cerakey, tofu redux, tikkens, poly fill, friction fit, one layer of tape modding on fr4

And @robust siren cause it's kewl

[robust siren]

titons

[bleak jolt]

Very nice

[bleak jolt]

can you send an image of the case

with the poly fill

[young viper]

I just got all the poly fill out of the cracks and I don't feel like doing that again lol

[bleak jolt]

Understandable

haha

Nice keycaps by the way

Any suggestions for silver semi transparent keycaps.. something like the ones from gravastar

I would buy the ones from gravastar but u cant

[amber dagger]

how easy was polyfill to work with? i’d like to add it to decrease high frequency sound

[young viper]

Get a set of tweezers lmao

Not terrible, but it likes to poke out of the corners and you need to remove it

[amber dagger]

how much did you use?

i’ve got the tweezer in the wooting toolkit

[young viper]

A handful, hard to describe lol. A thick enough layer that you can slightly see the bottom layer of the case

You really just need to play with it

Actually thinking about it after compressing it, it's probably a solid layer between the pcb and bottom layer

[untold wigeon]

Can someone help, I’m trying to buy a wooting 80he, my first wooting keyboard but I want to make it as silent as possible. What mods should I add? And what switches, should I go for zinc alloy or not. I’m new here

[uneven cradle]

Switches are gonna play the biggest factor, recommend checking out the #🪛│modding_faq for recommendations

[untold wigeon]

Thank you

[warm linden]

Hello everyone, just got the 60HE v2 and swapped out the stock EPDM foam for a different one underneath, it sounds noticeably thockier now which I love. Has anyone tried the PE foam mod to replace the stock foam? Is it worth doing or would it be overkill at that point? I have the aluminium case version.

[young viper]

Replace it with poly fill

[warm linden]

so remove the stock foam and put poly fill beneath the board? thank you!

[young viper]

I just replace mine with poly fill and this was my results, definitely noticable that's for sure. #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[warm linden]

okay i will try with that method thank you !!

[silent wadi]

are jade air switches any good?

im modding my 80 he and im torn on what switch to get

i get different suggestiosn everywhere i look istg

[robust siren]

well yeah because switches are all perference

[silent wadi]

yeah but its hard to know what i like

[robust pendant]

the more i mod my keyboard to be deeper, the more i realize what i wanted the entire time was a clacky setup

something that's clean and has variation in pitch (like the spacebar having a lower tone)

[stray tiger]

It's the journey that everyone eventually makes. After that you realize that both are great and you need multiple boards so you can change between thock, clacky and creamy whenever your mood changes.

will these work for the wooting 60he+

[amber dagger]

@young viper what is the full spec list for your build?

[young viper]

Tofu redux case
Knight v4 stabs
Lekker tikkens (soon getting kois in and may swap)
Fr4 standard plate (may soon be getting a cf plate)
Pet film
One layer of tape mod redone with standard painters tape
Friction fitted with a layer of poly fill on the bottom
Cerakeys matte greige
Wooting v2 module

[regal patio]

You should try some of the silent switches on the list with some foam to mute the board

[young viper]

Original standoffs have an additional layer of tape on them as well with the middle 2 removed

[amber dagger]

why not go for pc?

and more tape?

[urban ingot]

I put WS Flux Deep Clack in my 60 v2 tonight. I like them. My Nova should arrive tomorrow. I'm going to put those in my regular 80HE. It was a pain getting the Lekker Tikken out of my 60 v2 and ended up breaking a bunch of the switches. I'll probably just leave the Flux in my 60 HE.

[regal patio]

Keep in mind that silent switches are worse for gaming

[young viper]

I'll be killing too much if I go for more tape, issue with the poly fill is it kills every bit of high-pitched sound. I've been debating on a pom plate, but probably will go for cf because sound is bottoming out too much

[tulip rapids]

why

[regal patio]

Maybe try a POM plate

[regal patio]

It has that dampening thing at the bottom

Which affects the actuation

[amber dagger]

that’s what you want though no? to kill all high freq waves

[regal patio]

You want the sound you like

Not the deepest sound possible

[regal patio]

It has a nice poppy sound(after adding some poron foam)

[amber dagger]

has anyone here had painters tape mod for a while? how does the adhesive last?

[young viper]

Lasts forever, just don't cover it with crap

[amber dagger]

wdym?

[young viper]

Polyfil is nice, but it "muffles" the sound is what I've found so far, so I need to either go for a poppier switch like a koi or a poppier plate to try and get the sound closer to being "clean"

[young viper]

Like dust and polyfil lol

[amber dagger]

so painters tape doesn’t leave residue on pcb?

if not, might try that out

[young viper]

Nah, the original tape mode the v2 comes with is just painters tape

It's finee

[amber dagger]

nice

[young viper]

I may also get a new case, maybe the optimum or the gt60 which should hopefully support the pcb more in a way where I don't have a deadzone in the center of the keyboard

[amber dagger]

i’m going to switch out my silicone pad for poron, add some polyfill and maybe tape mod as well as add switch film to reduce lekker v2 wobble. all in tofu redux

[young viper]

You'd be better off getting a new set of switches vs buying the film ngl

[amber dagger]

maybe, but films are cheap and am going to try anyway

[young viper]

Fair enough, they're open bottom right?

[amber dagger]

yeah

but they are fairly deep

[young viper]

I was thinking of a pom plate, but at that point I'd be too deep with cera and pom lmao

[urban ingot]

Are the standoffs in the Tofu 60 Redux not removeable?

[young viper]

The middle ones are, the ones on the outer edge aren't so it doesn't let the silicone bumps on the v2 pcb properly rest

[urban ingot]

Well crap. I ordered one today for my 60 v2. I guess I'll see if it bothers me that much.

[young viper]

Yeah, it makes a deadzone in the middle of the board where it's significantly quieter than the outer keys

[broken notch]

Can't you just remove the silicone bumps?

That's a question btw, not me saying you can :v

[urban ingot]

You can. I didn't think of that.

[young viper]

You can, but the silicone bumps aren't touching anything in the first place because the standoffs hold the board

[broken notch]

But if they affect sound, or did I misunderstand you?

[young viper]

You want the standoffs not to touch the board and for it to completely rest on the bumps

They don't affect sound when not in contact with anything, when they are in contact with the bottom of the case it removes the dead zone in the middle of the case

[robust siren]

switch films arent recommended because they can create inaccuracies

[broken notch]

O-rings and switch films are no bueno but people keep insisting on doing them

[young viper]

Boom a diagram

[robust siren]

60he v2 makes full contact with the bottom of the gt-60 case if you keep the silicone bumpons on

[young viper]

Okay we want red(bumps) to touch white(case) to remove deadzone, but green (standoffs) is touching blue (the pcb) and can't.

[young viper]

Deadzone in the center?

[robust siren]

i wouldnt say it is

[broken notch]

I need my new case to arrive

So I can tinker again

[robust siren]

since its also held by the silicone gaskets, the bumpons does make it a ton more stiffer and you lose the function of the gaskets

[young viper]

Alright you've sold me, where can I buy it

[robust siren]

this is the only sound test i have on my phone

damn why is it so wide

[urban ingot]

KBDFans

[robust siren]

im 90% sure this is dcf fr4 plate

[young viper]

Mostly out of stock there in seeing

[robust siren]

i didnt have many other switches

[robust siren]

because theyre in the middle of making a v2 👀

[urban ingot]

KBDFans makes it. You may find it elsewhere.

[young viper]

Alr now we're waiting on the v2 lmao

Or tofu 3.0 restock

Whichever comes first

[robust siren]

anodized silver is still in stock on kbdfans

[young viper]

What would work with matter greige cerakeys lmao

[robust siren]

oh the plates arent

[young viper]

Yeahh

[robust siren]

[urban ingot]

I just got my GT-80 today, I didn't want to order a GT-60, that's why I went with the Tofu Redux.

[robust siren]

you dont need the plate

[robust siren]

try asking their live chat to see if they can add it to your cart since it forces you to get a plate

[young viper]

Holdup...the Styx? If they include a daughter board with this I'd buy it

[robust siren]

the wat

[young viper]

Dude it's got lil moons on it, that's like my whole thing

[robust siren]

i want to get a silver gt80 to match but thats just me

[robust siren]

that doesnt look like a normal layout

why is the spacebar isolated

[urban ingot]

I have to use my TenZ more to decide if I want to get another GT-80. I don't really like any other of the other options for the 80HE. But I'm fine with the Wooting zinc case and I have both V1 colors.

[young viper]

It's not... Shit I'll still buy it lmao

Does rakka have the pins for the daughter board?

[urban ingot]

My GT-80 and WS Flux arrived today. Got home from work and put the TenZ in the GT-80 and the Flux in the 60 v2. I've been more excited to use the 60 v2 tonight.

[young viper]

Alr I'm on the waiting list for the Styx lmao

[robust siren]

yes

[robust siren]

it uses contact pins for usbc and the daughterboard

[young viper]

That's what I thought, but didn't know if I was tripping or not, thanks

[robust siren]

i can take a picture tomorrow

[young viper]

see, lil moons

[robust siren]

propertary pcb to use case

[young viper]

fuckkk i just saw the exploded view

i mean pft i could be a non he guy for this board

[urban ingot]

If you want a non-HE board, that has a moon on it, look into the Neo80 CU. It's actually my favorite non-Wooting keyboard. But it's packed up in my closet like all the others at this point now.

[young viper]

oh thats a super neat board. for a bit i was also looking into the ego60 and planning a build with ufo switches, but man it can be pricey

[humble surge]

Theres a few more, i just dont have time to link it all while at work, i can in 7 hours

[fluid ravine]

is ts tuff

lets admire this rq

@cloud crane whats the mx black kind of switch called again
