good 2he modding guide?

glacial wind
#

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

lyric nimbus
#

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

glacial wind
#

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

#

Not everyone is cut out for the dark farts

urban ingot
#

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.

little glen
#

gmk best for sound

#

you just dont know yet

urban ingot
#

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 ordered them and they are on the way

They were a pain in the ass to get into the FR4 plate though.

silent wadi
urban ingot
#

Neither am I. I'm using the Torontoman FR4 plate.

silent wadi
#

.....

#

so am i

urban ingot
#

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.

silent wadi
#

i might just switch back to the wooting fr4 plate atp

#

wait is it fr4

#

i forgot

little glen
#

60he v2 stock is fr4 yes

#

80he stock is PC

silent wadi
#

i have 80 he

urban ingot
#

The Nova are in my 80 HE. I have Flux DC in my 60 v2.

little glen
#

a tight plate can definitely make pulling the switches more difficult

urban ingot
#

The Flux have no problem coming out of the 60 v2, but the Nova are stuck into the 80 HE.

little glen
#

if you are having those problems, i would suggest pulling the plate off completely and pushing out the switches from below

urban ingot
#

... that's what I said I'd do if I want to remove them.

little glen
#

or both

silent wadi
little glen
#

i just pull em out from above with little regard for their lifespan

urban ingot
#

I think its the switch is too big. I did multiple switch swaps before these switches in the same plate.

little glen
#

tho i dont swap switches THAT much

#

and i do have a good puller

silent wadi
#

i just have the one that came with the 80 he

urban ingot
#

I have the Gravastar V2, the Gateron puller, the high quality thick boy from Wooting and they one that came with the keyboards too.

little glen
#

so you dont have a good puller pepeLa

#

ws titanium puller/tx switch puller/tx multitool are great

urban ingot
#

I kind of gave up on looking for something better once I had 4 of them.

#

i love the tx multitool, its a great fidget toy

#

and very practical

#

i pulled an entire 80he and a 60he v2 with it recently, no issues

cyan lark
#

oh wow you can attach different cap pullers

glacial wind
#

It’s great purely for keycap pulling

#

Too finicky and annoying to swap stuff constantly but I keep mine as my main keycap puller

cyan lark
#

switch puller not so much?

glacial wind
#

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

little glen
#

i love it for switch pulling as well

cyan lark
#

ohh I misunderstood, I thought the other side was the switch puller

glacial wind
#

Yeah if it was other side I’d use it more. Unfortunately switch puller side is same as keycap puller side

little glen
#

i honestly use it over my tx puller

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

young viper
#

300 for the whole thing or just mods

sage rampart
#

Im on wooting 60he module V1, can i change for the V2 module ?

young viper
#

i mean if you have money to buy the v2 module

sage rampart
#

so i cant change the case?

#

bc i cant find V1 module stuff

sacred elm
sage rampart
#

i mean

#

this

#

and i wanna change to black tho

dreamy girder
sage rampart
sacred elm
#

I mean just order v2 alu case for your 60HE+ module and friction fit pad

sage rampart
#

silicon thing?

sacred elm
#

Yes. V2 case is only friction mount, can't use screws because it doesn't have standoffs

dreamy girder
#

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

sage rampart
#

i guess ive installed the foam thing

sage rampart
#

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?

sacred elm
#

friction fit pad doesn't come with the module

sage rampart
#

huh?

#

That the silicon thing u put between case and module right?

sacred elm
#

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.

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

# dreamy girder I don’t know, I don’t have experience yet, I said I’ll take it maybe I’ll need i...

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.

dreamy girder

#

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?

#

Yo chat can i ask for reccomendations here

It's because there's no plate screws in the center around those keys, but there is around the higher pitched ones

mind that those springs are 15mm

#

shorter than the tikken springs

fluid ravine
#

Tikkens are basically pingless

but they are standard in normal mx switches

I don't think there was a report of tikken springs being pingy at all

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

so they are okay but I wouldnt call them high quality

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

Sno said flip king is basically TTC pom with less sharpness and more muted

native crystal
#

aims to get rid of that magnet sound

#

it also has a larger stem

#

so I think thats probably what Sno meant

uneven cradle
#

Isn't the opposite of what you like though at 3.5mm and a 21mm spring

young viper
#

Tf is magnet sound supposed to mean

uneven cradle
#

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

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

Spacebar filled with 4 layers of kilmat

young viper
#

I've thought about using kilmat for the spacebar, issue with cerakey is it makes the spacebar very pingy

regal patio
#

The cerakey spacebar is heavy on its own

#

And kilmat only adds weight

young viper
#

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

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

You might want to consider the Flux deep clacky

They are very cheap compared to before 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

urban ingot

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

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.
