good 2he modding guide?
honestly i don't know much about modding the 2he myself as it's the one wooting keyboard i've barely touched
i have one in my stock closet somewhere, but I've never actually used it
i guess like
with respect to other kbs
it's written for people who don't know much about modding the 2he
because overlap between 2he owners and dedicated modders is very small
i think it looks fine to me. basics of modding has always been switches/keycaps/lubing stabs
case also but with 2he you can't really do case unless you go full builder like yourself
plate interesting too but again with 2he you have to go really full builder mode to do that

cant wait to have a real wood desk so my keyboard sounds good
how thick is it
About 7cm
is the 60he+ module screw in stabilizers the same as the 80he's?
Yes
They use the same set of screws if i remember correctly
thank you!
Nw
lowk if u ask me just run like idfk a new set of third party stabs like swagkeys theyre bangers too if ur keen for a option. but most of the stab screws in all wooting variants are the same
anyway happy 2 help
awesome, i'll have to check that out. thanks again!
👍
Is there any difference in sound when the friction pad vs screws on the optimum case?
Friction fit is better isolated sound wise
Okay
What a name 
That’s sir fart wizard in some circles
Ser Fart Wizard
If you don't get enough fiber in your diet and start taking a fiber supplement, you too can be a fart wizard for a little while.
Not everyone is cut out for the dark farts
True.
I got a GMK ABS set because I liked the look of it. I'm kind of missing the NicePBT set I had for sound. I'm torn if I should keep the keys for look, or switch back to the keys that muted the sound better.
Well the sound will change yet again when my GT-80 arrives and I put this thing in it.
But then it will looks so nice, I may not care.
GMK definitely brought back the clack and added some higher pitch to the presses. It doesn't sound bad, but I preferred the deeper sound of the other keys.
I’d try to find some poron case foam and get a softer plate (unless you’re already rocking stock PC plate)
did u get your novas?
Yeah, they're in right now. I love them.
They were a pain in the ass to get into the FR4 plate though.
im not using the wooting plate
Neither am I. I'm using the Torontoman FR4 plate.
I did a key swap on my 60v2 last night too. The Flux DC's were staying stuck to the keys and pulling out too in that FR4 plate on more than half of the keys. In this keyboard, I think the only way to get the switches out without damaging them would be to take apart the sandwich module and push them out of the plate.
?? dude
i might just switch back to the wooting fr4 plate atp
wait is it fr4
i forgot
i have 80 he
The Nova are in my 80 HE. I have Flux DC in my 60 v2.
oh i see
a tight plate can definitely make pulling the switches more difficult
The Flux have no problem coming out of the 60 v2, but the Nova are stuck into the 80 HE.
if you are having those problems, i would suggest pulling the plate off completely and pushing out the switches from below
... that's what I said I'd do if I want to remove them.
could be that the plate is too tight or the switch is too big
or both
im prob gonna be changing switches a lot so thats really inconvinient
i just pull em out from above with little regard for their lifespan
I think its the switch is too big. I did multiple switch swaps before these switches in the same plate.
i just have the one that came with the 80 he
I have the Gravastar V2, the Gateron puller, the high quality thick boy from Wooting and they one that came with the keyboards too.
so you dont have a good puller 
ws titanium puller/tx switch puller/tx multitool are great
I kind of gave up on looking for something better once I had 4 of them.
TX Multi-Tool 5-in-1 V1.1?
yeah thats probably the one
Ordered
Its great for jamming your finger inside
Looks like that's what I ordered.
yup
i have the 1.0 which has worse plastic pieces for pulling keycaps
i should get the updated ones
Lil orb
How is it? Looks like a solid and compact little tool.
i like it
as i said, great fidget toy but also has other uses
i pulled an entire 80he and a 60he v2 with it recently, no issues
It’s great purely for keycap pulling
Too finicky and annoying to swap stuff constantly but I keep mine as my main keycap puller
switch puller not so much?
To use switch puller you have to pull off the bits
So it’s a bit annoying when I can just grab a switch puller
i love it for switch pulling as well
ohh I misunderstood, I thought the other side was the switch puller
Yeah if it was other side I’d use it more. Unfortunately switch puller side is same as keycap puller side
i honestly use it over my tx puller

why dont people just put magnets inside cherry mx blue? like I tried it and it sounds so good



yurr
set looks rly good
very nice
do you like the design you ended up with?
like from a feel perspective etc
(ofc it wont be exactly the same as the end product but all the edges and all)
I think wood accent pieces will look nice on the left and right
toronto keyboardman wooting 80 he kit has a film you put on the pcb. does anyone know if it affects performance?
transparent film no
thx
why does it make a difference if its transparent though?
i think the final product will be machined out of pc or similar
Doesn't have to be transparent, it's just solid film and not squishy and soft like PE foam film or whatever it's called, which affects the performance
But… my thocccc 
Yesss
im confused
what does affect performance
like i know likes stuff in switches would probably affect performance
like filming
Keyboard terrorism
day 69 no koi update
it said mine were coming yesterday but they still havent been shipped
they just lied
well yeah
definitely
it feels like 20x more premium compared to stock 2he from a feel perspective
not quite aesthetics yet because i still need to commission a case but it feels fantastic
sir this is a wendys
My RGB KOIs are on a plane rn actually
I caught up and overtook@young viper

koi switches dont exist
Damn Laura needs to hurry up and send me pics of the kois
its a pyramid scheme for you to spend money on recolored owlab switches that dont exist

spray painted owlabs
He's actually just been recording dcf's this whole time
trying to make the koi switches more popular than the kony 2012 movement
WILD
erm akually 
Neo lavenders clear
Just need WS diamonds to launch and then everyone can FOMO some more
Plot twist irs the same switch your just pressing harder the second time
nuh uh
ive never had owlabs

Kois are as unique as Jade rubys
Duhuk herz did it first 
its not sparkly and pink enough 
What happened to this chat 💔
koi propaganda worked
i genuinely like it more than fluxes 
i know selling is against the rules, but thought i’d ask before i return my keytok nova’s if anyone was interested in buying them? i got 84 pc, didnt like the travel length :(
Next week bros going to discover Neo lavenders
but its shitteron 
Chalk it gore you’re cooked
You might as well you’re already buying old switches 
41 for 70? what a scam 
na?
yeah
how much would it be if i were interested 
you probably have a better chance selling it on reddit tbh
i paid $109 idm getting $90
Why are you selling them here if you can return and get a full refund?
i tried 
well, ik they are usually out of stock haha so i thought i’d ask
idm returning them
did you buy it from keybay
yeah
nvm just checked, all sale are final sales 
thats keybay for ya
yeahhhh not my favorite place to buy from
cooked 
do you know which one’s? i tried the /keyboard one and had no luck zz
If I didn't only need like 60ish I'd get them lol
mechkeyboard and wootings own subreddit
more the merrier 
add them to the pile of switches
ill have so many kois after my order arrives 
i have the 68 from my china trip and i got 105 coming in
Bahahah
I'm planning on Frankenswitching the kois and the rgbs since I got a few extra lol
Is gmk packaging suppose to be poor?
like the caps bein jumbled all over the place?
thats the premium gmk experience
Yep
And are these bumps supposed to be there?
yes
A soft brush if it's just a light clean, or for a full clean some warm (not hot) water and a little dishwashing liquid with a soft sponge or towel
Is the dent in the bottom normal?
looks like an injection mark?
no
gmk LOL
Time to check all of them ig
injection marks are normal

the chip in the 2nd pic is just unlucky probably
ah ok

Hello, I’m planning to buy a magnetic keyboard with a thocky sound. I’ve decided on the Wooting 60HE v2 board, but what are the best options for the case, switches, and keycaps? My budget is $300 max, no more
300 for the whole thing or just mods
Im on wooting 60he module V1, can i change for the V2 module ?
i mean if you have money to buy the v2 module
what do you mean exactly? change the case for what
The whole keyboard, board + switches + case + keycaps
forgot to mention
I mean just order v2 alu case for your 60HE+ module and friction fit pad
silicon thing?
Yes. V2 case is only friction mount, can't use screws because it doesn't have standoffs
I was thinking about this set but I don’t know if it’s good, I saw it on YouTube and it looks beautiful and even the sound is nice. But based on my research, YouTube is different from reality and I don’t want to regret it later
i guess ive installed the foam thing
can i use it or only the friction pad?
btw i already have one friction pad with the module they just give foam and siliccon we have choice. Or maybe not the same model?
friction fit pad doesn't come with the module
That's not friction fit pad, that's just normal silicone sandwich pad. As I said, if you want the v2 case, you have to order friction fit pad from Wooting.
oh ok nvm
😛
That is literally the most popular case ever lol
Tofu 60 3.0 better 😛
I agree, but for the sake of brevity I'm counting them together
and my 2he is probably gonna double in weight too
it already feels like a BRICK right now
Tungsten weight? 
SS weight adds another 1kg
mirror polish
🗣️ 🔥
Yeah I saw that 😂 do you have a good idea?
You made it sound like a scam hehe
😖
A lot of this if not everything is personal opinion, so no, we can't really advise beyond "It's a well known product"
The custom keyboard world is a vast ocean!
wut r those
Just do your research to see if your plate and or pcb is compatible
Once you figure that out, it's really easy browsing
The problem is that I don’t have experience yet and haven’t tried anything, and the sound on YouTube is different from reality. I don’t want to regret it after spending this much money
Well. That's part of the hobby. We cannot offer assurances that you will like something
For example, shafie mentioned Lekker Tikkens and you mentioned a ringing sound
I have never heard a ringing sound from Lekker Tikkens
there is no ringing sound, its entierely the case that might do that
Exactly, that’s the reason it remains a hobby and an experience
As much as you'd want to, and that I'd love to tell you; Get this, this and that
We can't:( We can only say; That product, the Tofu60, is a known and trusted product
But if it's the one for you; I have no idea
Does that make sense? I'm doing my best to not sound dismissive
problem is that to achieve a "thocky" sound it takes money and experimenting
I don’t know where I heard it on YouTube, it wasn’t good at all, annoying sound. And another example, the Optimum keyboard, I heard it on one channel and the sound was amazing, then I heard it on another channel and the sound wasn’t nice at all
like even the tofu has its faults, the middle is a deadzone and sounds are completely different
I can send you two videos that sound different, same setup yet difference in film setup and quality
I appreciate your help as much as you can, thank you so much
At the end of the day, you gotto try it out if it speaks to you
i mean correct me if im wrong, but there are many factors that contribute to keyboard sound
other than the build itself
expecially in recording
still crazy to me
and people prob use like an eq on soundtests
Hell, the acoustics of the room can make a difference, there's so many cogs big and small in the total machine
Yes, this is because of the microphone, it has its own reason, and also the placement and the room atmosphere I think
I always do for myself the following
Do I like it? No? Next. There's plenty of product out there anyway
If you're not convinced, you're not convinced
Even if I feel "Maybe it could be good...", nah, pass
There’s no other solution 🫠
Imagine buying something for $300 and not liking it 😃
Happens to the best of us
lolololol
True, but if I buy something for $300 and I don’t like it, that’s a big deal for me. I can’t change it right now, only in the future. The reason is that I’m a person with special needs and I don’t have a monthly or daily income. I just started in the PC world but I have surface level knowledge and I’m diving deeper into it, maybe I can make money from it later. So the whole thing is purely for entertainment for me
if it looks good and you like the sound go for it
ive heard good things about the tofu60
comfy pillow
Alr attempt like 6 at removing the stupid deadzone in the middle of my tofu
wym deadzone
Honestly I like its look and it’s premium, but the sound is honestly confusing. He might buy the best thing available and if he doesn’t like it in the future he can modify it
The cuts from friends go deepest 
And what is it?
its a premium case that id say you cant go too wrong with it
of course its still prefrence
WHAT
how does that even hapen
is it like the inconsistency of the polyfill?
No polyfil
oh
Okay that makes me feel a bit better, thanks!
Huh
Somehow, the deadzone is still there with no case
Oh
Trying to fix it

Question have you ever takennapart your module
Maybe you screwed each screws with different tightness?
Maybe? That's all I can think of
My brain might not be braining rn
You caught me at a lucky timing. Just woke up
Try rescrewing
my experience on this server so far has been daily being confused on how something so small affect sound
Welcome to keyboard modding
:)
HE* Keyboard modding
Yea
I just say HE cus it seems that these small changes are happening a lot more with HE boards lately
even more so for MX can get all kinds of sounds out of MX
i see
Like the odd changes to be exact
MX is more unique in a sense
im so jealos
Are these parts good or is there any modification needed?
Oh gosh
Whats your build rn
Id remove the weight bar filler
mikumikumikumikumikumikumikumikumiku
Cerakeys, knight vr, fr4 plate and tikkens just for the pcb
Why? I’m thinking about buying this set
Well you're already getting the brass weight so why the foam filler?
mikumiku beam
Does the dead zones still happen with normal key caps?
I don’t know, I don’t have experience yet, I said I’ll take it maybe I’ll need it 🙂
Ok I'll explain
It's better to have more internal weight when it comes to sound containment control within a case. If the case is not dense enough then it will most likely be hollow and/or pingy. Tofu Redux is a pretty hollow and pingy case especially without the internal brass weight. It's better to have the weight in to increase its density and lessen the ping
Foam doesn't do much as it's used to slow down the wavelength of sound which in this case it does do much for how small it is and where that piece of foam is placed.
hii do you have a link for the pegboard
Hai Coin 
Let me find it rq
Yero
Ahh thank you for the clarification and explanation, I understood, meaning I don’t need it. Okay since I’m getting the Wooting 60HE v2 Module it will come with foam and I can add it, right?
sweet, I appreciate it 
Module doesn't come with the foam
Tofu60 comes with it
I think it has something to do with the fact that there's not much in terms of plate screws in the middle and possibly that's causing it?
What the fork I can't find it 
Okay got it. Is what comes with the Tofu60 enough?
Ok I just pulled my wooting into bed with me
Ayo
And I have the same problems
Not just you
I figured it out
Sup
Does it sound higher pitches on the a,s, and L keys then then the g and h keys?
Yo chat can i ask for reccomendations here
Yes
For sure
Wow that’s a big difference
I think it's because of the big hole between G and H
not sure
It's because there's no plate screws in the center around those keys, but there is around the higher pitched ones
I have a v1 60he and am probably going to buy the tikken switches what other mods should i ghet with like a <$100 budget
Yeah, just a lack of support from the plate
Fuck and here I was thinking I was going crazy
@fluid ravine Is the foam that comes with the Tofu60 enough?
Have you tried tape mod? It used masking or painters tape pretty cheap
I think stiffer plate might help with that. Getting CF soon so will find out
geon pingless HE springs and correct the lube job on the tikkens
mind that those springs are 15mm
shorter than the tikken springs
Tikkens are basically pingless
but they are standard in normal mx switches
I was just thinking about that
people I know had really bad units, spring crunch, uneven lube etc
I don't think there was a report of tikken springs being pingy at all
plus 15mm springs are nice
Oof uneven lube I get but spring ping that unfortunate
I dont like the 20mm+ trend
Personal preference
Oh sorry I mean the filler/padding
Oh uh yes
anyone who has had good mx boards would hate long spring short travel switches
So much going on for my smooth brain rn 
I've had a scratchy feeling with a few tikkens, but in terms of quality control that's it
but tikkens are full travel
Knobs when
GMK Selene when
so thats good
You use any LP MX switches?
Cus I know quite a LOT of LP MX switches that uses long springs
But most of the 4mm MX switches I know of are indeed 15mm
I mean the manu is graingold, not the greatest, people report the switches breaking after taking them out a few times, but thats the case with most cheaper many switches rn
so they are okay but I wouldnt call them high quality
cuz thats just gold fr

Where are these reports?
no memeing
Based
Love that combo
I have the drip would agree too
from people I know
Okay thank you. I have a question, at the bottom of the keyboard where the wrist is, is there a wrist rest that fits the keyboard? Because it might hurt me during long gaming sessions
but like raws also break
Yes there are wrist rests out there that you can get for your board
Don't know if I'll use polyfil when the kois come in, this stuff is kinda ridiculous to put in the board😭
it is
these mods all are
good boards dont need meme mods
have you tried flip koms
Meme mod, yet it makes a difference lol
I have heard very good things about it
Nah not interested at all
the flips supposed to have updated tolerances and the plastic bottom out does a good job at getting close to mx
pouring concrete in your keyboard also makes a difference btw
I know horses uses clip clop grids but does the flip king have it too?
Sno said flip king is basically TTC pom with less sharpness and more muted
I mean since the flip has a plastic bottom out yeah
aims to get rid of that magnet sound
it also has a larger stem
so I think thats probably what Sno meant
Isn't the opposite of what you like though at 3.5mm and a 21mm spring
Tf is magnet sound supposed to mean
Probably just that it has a magnet inside the switch so it's hard to get the sound of an MX switch with a giant magnet inside every switch
ever heard of hall effect? it uses magnets

@fluid ravine Thank you so much for the help and advice
i dont like the wooting one though cause its hard
Probably means the metallic bottom out sound of the exposed magnet on the stem
Where did you find e white in stock O:
Yes it’s in stock
Figured, but they also aren't meant to mirror the sound of mx switches so that confused me lol
😭
True
The eventual goal is to make it similar sounding tho

So many options 🤤
[IC]篆Seal TKL - The story of 1 keyboard and 7 systems
brown looks nice
🙂↕️
every day i check the geon store and get disappointed. gmk black snail spacebars not yet restocked
one day i will open the store and the glorious spacebar kit shall be there
I pray for you sno
just hope it doesn't get sold out the moment it's out
it should last for a little bit since it's constant instock so they just order non stop
problem is because it's constantly refilling they have no firm dates on when it gets restocked. seems it just appears then they announce restock
The deepest sounding HE switches at the moment are the Keytok nova's
Maybe buy a POM plate
A different plate, switches depending on what sound you want to achieve
@broken notch finally
The boys!
hey Tirps, are you available for a quick DM?
How do they sound?
This is my current build(It's as deep sounding as it gets for HE)
Unless you use cerakeys
Ah much better. Can throw out the stupid paper tray the alphas kit came in
This is mine with cerakeys lmao. Cat what's that build?
Still on the way from china, looking at the materials list, they seem like they're gonna be very similar to novas, if not a tad bit deeper, but of course novas have a different design so there is no telling
My build:
Case: Default wooting
Module: wooting 60he v2
Plate: POM
Switches: Keytok Nova's
Mods: Poron tape mod + 2 layer tape mod + PET sheet
EPDM foam + PET sheet
Lubed stock stabs
Keycaps: dye-sub Cherry profile
Spacebar filled with 4 layers of kilmat
I've thought about using kilmat for the spacebar, issue with cerakey is it makes the spacebar very pingy
It would be too heavy imo
The cerakey spacebar is heavy on its own
And kilmat only adds weight
Spacebar isn't crazy heavy, like honestly my normal tikkens would work just fine with it, but I swapped the spring in the spacebar out for a 60 one I think? I totally could go to a 100 and be fine lol
Alr
Yes the guys told me but the price is very high, maybe I’ll buy it I don’t know
I haven’t bought anything yet
Have you considered listening to the soundtests Jed made?
Since these are mostly recorded on the same setup with very professional equipment you can listen to most of the switches one by one until you find one you're fond of
It’s beautiful, can I see a picture of the keyboard?
Yes I’ve listened to them more than once and I try to listen to them a lot until I know which sound I like the most. Good test. Question, are these the switches that were tested?
I don’t know, I feel like the sound here is different from reality, right?
Exactly, and in reality it should be even more beautiful
Unfortunately those switches are expensive
It’s truly beautiful
True they are expensive, I saw them on the website
You might want to consider the Flux deep clacky
They are very cheap compared to before now
And they are top of the top of the line quality wise

Beautiful somewhat, sometimes I hear switch sounds that have a slight ring that I like
Sorry for the late replies, I’m using a translator
Thank you 😊
A Keytok nova switch
The Gateron jade pro was here just to test out the stabs
(the Keytok nova's are hard to pull out)
Beautiful, enjoy it!
Wooting keycaps btw
Haha that makes sense, smart idea to use them just for testing
Yeah I know these
Yes you should always test stabs with a switch that's easy to pull out
The Keytok novas are too tight for the wooting plate
Ahh okay
I love the Novas, but I think they're a permanent fixture in this plate now.
TBH I haven't tried to pull one out yet though. Maybe they come out more easily than they go in.
They don't
Just pull the plate and the PCB apart and push the switches out of the plate
That's how I got mine out
The build costed me around 350$
Even with heavily discounted nova's
That's what I figured I'd have to do. But I'm super happy with them for now. So they'll stay in my 80HE. I also have my TenZ and 60 v2 that barely get any use currently that I can easily swap switches for whatever is the next "new new" that must be tried.
i wanna try a topre keyboard
wouldn't the silver case look better with those keycaps?
That’s very good actually
where u get discount novas
im so scared to put together my build
why dont novas fit well
are they bigger or something
I don't know exactly, but they're a super tight fit.
im also terrified of putting switches in
cause like the snap is scary
Don't know what you're worried about. As long as you're not trying to force it in at an angle, there's not really anything you can damage.
Just make sure they're in the correct orientation and don't go in at an extreme angle.
ive built a keyboard before and havent broken any switches
i really dont have anything to be worried about
I suppose if you try to put them in sideways, you could damage an LED
dude my 2he is so beautiful
show
I used an old discount code
Doesn't work now
Shoutout @fringe quarry
What was the code?
just the email signup for first order
sounds expensive
10$
Still works
I believe
Imagine my build with cerakeys
ngl i wanna see what my build looks like with dcf
What switches are you using rn
owlabs
Maybe try the novas
Ok
Clack switch in a Thock build 
Everyone that posts videos of them typing has nice hands. I'm all self conscious to do anything other than audio tests because I have old man veiny hands. 🤣
im not going for full thock
i want to keep some clack because i find thock kind of annoying to type on
like
its one of those sounds that's fantastic for ASMR but it's not a sound that i like when i want to type
i want weight/feedback
Ye true
which is why im probably gonna stay with owlabs for this build
Omnitype Heron switches whennnn
i got cerakeys for the feel and not the sound anyways
I don't use my keyboard for typing so i don't get annoying by my board sounding deep
Interesting
Never

I type more than I game. I care about sound probably too much. I like deep muted though, not full thock.
I like ear piercing clack 
I like ear piercing thock 
Deep muted clack is where it's at for my ears. Not like you can really get a full thock with HE switches anyway, which is the appeal of the switches aside from performance to me.
i like my keyboard to sound heavy
imo
like SOLID
as long as the kb sounds like it's coming from a brick i think it's cool
Your keyboard probably weights as much as a brick
Tf is sound heavy supposed to mean 😭
Vague
My take away, is it doesn't have any ping.
No resonance?
i like my keyboard to be so loud my neighbours hear it and it lets me assert dominance over my floor
Country.
Tectonic plate.
The universe
The omniverse.
should i lube the stabilizer on the 80he?
if they rattle then yeah
sis what
i removed the clicky part of it
If you get ping or rattle yes. I had to add extra lube to the right shift key on regular 80 HE and spacebar on my TenZ due to ping. Not to say they're all like that though.
😭
why u 😭 -ing?
okay thanks. im new to the whole custom keyboard thing. Do i have to disamble the whole keyboard if i wana lube them?
there is like the syringe method
u can inject lube with a syringe
but it not as good as lubbing it normally
u gotta take a chill pill
which would need u to disassemble
u dont need to disassemble the whole keyboard so like pls dont mislead anyone
whats the point of mx blues then if you remove the clicky part 
i just disliked their click
okay but if i wanna lube them normally i just have to get the pcb out of the case and remove them. i dont have to remove all the normal switches aswell right?
?
Invest in getting a syringe with Krytox 205g0 in it. That way you don't have to take apart the keyboard to lube the stab, you can just "inject" it in.
you do to handlube stabs with a brush
no you dont
oh yeah
though there is a lazy way to lube stabs
okay thanks
you put magnets in your mx blue?
thats some innovation
hold the stabs up and paint the walls of the stem
how is it innovation if it's rlly easyh?
its like 30% as effective as just taking it appart
just takes some time
and?
I hand lube my stabs when I put in aftermarket ones. To just lube up stock ones I use the syringe.
u still don't disassemble ur whole keyboard
who is misleading at this point
80he has screw in stabilizers, you need to remove the module from the case, then the plate off the pcb which is pretty much disassembling the keyboard
are you like magic or something
oh thought this was about their full sized keyboard

wdym
morning

rare thockson morning appearance
hii baldson

I slept at 2pm yesterday
not good
the shine on the head is too mujch
@sly palm !remindme hell dive in 90 minutes 
Yeah.. Only ate a few apple slices at school as well for the whole day. Peak starvation
bald 🤯
no broken arm in sight?
😭

calciumless son 

I will have to go out with my doggo in like 90 minutes
when you get back then
Never
@fluid ravine do you have helldivers perchance 
I don't 
wait so why would they put magnets inside mx blues?
is this an alt account
get it 
Wait did I walk into something 
dude im so confused
wdum
someone put magnets in mx blues but removed the clicky part so its just mx reds but with a magnet which is just any other linear HE switch
into a trap form democracy
Wehh???
I wasted money on Helldivers and Arc Raider. I bought both of them on PC and PS5 and don't play either game on either system.

real
play helldivers it's mad funny
Why tf does one want to do this 

I also pre-ordered Marathon on PC and PS5 as well. We'll see if that ends up being another dual system wasted purchase.
why do you get it on both systems
literally frakenswitching but more steps and youre massacring mx switches
I mean they also say you don't have to disassemble your 80HE for lubing your stabs with a brush
Exactly..
How'd you like the server slam?
So I have the option if I'm in the mood.
fair
I haven't played Server slam yet. I installed it.
oh yeah i havent played that yet 

if @sly palm isnt back by the time i make and finish breakfast ill play
What time is it for you gore
Play it if you get the chance, it's a fun game don't get me wrong, but idk if I'd pay 40 for it
11:33 am
I have to head to work rippp
I prefer PC gaming, but sometimes I want to play games on my TV from my couch. But my couch is so far from my TV that even an 80" screen is too small for my blind ass eyes.
you shouldve known
youre a texan and im from ny
it's 10:30 for you?
I am 7 hours in your future
Ya are 37 years in the future according to an old pc I got from a man I know
Mane I didn't know you were in NY
I don't even know my time zones like that 
i have my pc, tv, and couch all in the same room. so i just plug my tv into my pc :)
