Is it actually noticeable difference between lets say PC and FR4 plates when typing gaming? I see that material stiffness is mentioned a lot, but im using stock one and i dont see it getting compressed by typing at all

Anyone know how to fix this? When the shift is pushed down it feels like it’s rubbing against something or it just stays down

Here’s the heavier shift in comparison which works

you can get your design printed onto fabric and then like stitch it onto the wooting one or a third party one

Hey, I just finished mounting my new 60HE V2 in the Alumaze60 case. The PCB is now secured with 4 screws and the board sits perfectly flat.

However, the USB-C port has a small amount of wiggle. It doesn’t disconnect if I just move the cable slightly, but if I pick up the keyboard or slide it across the desk it sometimes disconnects.

Is it normal to wiggle a bit? Could something be slightly misaligned inside?

young viper
violet sluice
#

to the point where it disconnects depending on how you move the keyboard around?

#

I bought their coiled cable and its a premium keyboard

#

I had many keyboards and never saw this 😢

That's not a normal thing, no

On a friction fit mount, I only need to screw the top left one for grounding right?

#

UR ice studio switches have a nice clack

And the keytok nova's are currently the deepest sounding switches

it seems like im not able to screw the last 4 screws for the plate mount, but it fits perfectly in my case now after changing the silicone to the tray mount foam

Or did I fully misunderstand

The original cable I didnt try it fully, just saw that it wiggles a lot like the coiled cable

let me try

Can you confirm it's
A) both wooting cables disconnect
B) only the coiled disconnects

violet sluice

#

love u guys

#

coiled cable - disconnects depending on how I move the keyboard around
stock cable - ok wiggle but no issues with connection
random cable from another keyboard - a bit of a wiggle and no issues with connection

vast yoke
#

was browsing videos of switches and ran across this. ive never heard anyone recommend putting a spring in between the switch and keycap like this. what would be the point or the reason for doing this?

ionic breach
#

it probably works if u want to add spring weight

#

but a heavier spring and a longer one works better without the jank

fallen pecan
#

i've seen people do this with cerakeys and they just don't wanna bother with swapping the spring out

That seems whack af

hey guys, I’m trying to build my 60he v2 but it doesn’t seem to fit into my case properly, the 2 screws on the right don’t line up
the case is gateron fort 60 (supposed to be similar to the holy 60)
if I try to wiggle it or push it it doesn’t move either
can I do something about it? can I just leave it like this?

#

I can screw in the bottom right one tho

ionic breach
#

just leave it is fine prob

#

i mean if u are doing friction fit, you only need to screw in 1 for grounding

west wind
#

nah, it doesn’t go in with friction fit
I have to tray mount it

ionic breach
#

then just screw whatever u can

west wind
#

okay, thank you!

#

ok, I figured it out, I think I just inserted it wrongly, had to retry a few times
now I feel very stupid hahaha

#

What are these pads for? Do they affect stabilizer stability or feel?

ionic breach
#

looks like its for band aid mod?

fluid ravine
#

But one thing about them is if lube gets on it, the bottom out become really sticky
but really its the same case even without the pads, but typically with the pads its much worse with the sticking effect

ionic breach
#

it helps make ur spacebars, enters and large keys less loud basically

fluid ravine
#

Another thing about these stabilizer pads, they also help with stabilizer housings fitting much tighter onto the pcb to ensure a secure fit, although it doesn't really matter at all cus its the fit is already secure without it havo

Sounds great

#

i took mine out tho

Wingtree has stepped into the arena to challenge Cherry with its new releases: the Camellias and the G Ones. I chose the "dry" option from Unikeys, which only comes with the leaf and spring factory lubed. And these definitely deliver on the scratch factor.

They're crazy neutral so their real only application is mixing and gaming tbh

# young viper Kinda get a sense for both

for my noobie ears, astrals and the 560s arent too far off other than the obvious one being an iem and one being a headphone
i will say music listening wise, i dont think the could alphas are bad but while gaming theres a definite and clear difference
560s are as clear as astrals but the cloud alphas are really muddy and muted

robust siren
#

on both sides

young viper
#

yeah the lower and upper midrange on the astrals vs the 560's are pretty much the same, only real difference is that the astrals are a tad bit basier and not as much fall off at 10k as the 560's

Hello everyone, before installing the keycaps, I’d like to make sure I didn’t assemble anything incorrectly.

I purchased the 60HE V2 PCB and an OWLAB 60 case. After receiving them, I only opened the case and placed the entire PCB inside. It feels like a perfect fit.

I didn’t remove the small silicone pads on the bottom either. Is this the correct way to assemble it, or should I remove those silicone pads?

fluid ravine

anything cheap that performs well is a insta steal for me

young viper
#

I should just by a bunch of magnets and melt them into standard mx switches and see if it works lol

fluid ravine
#

i forgot what switch that was

#

but imagine getting a magnet that works and do the same idea
that'd be cool

cloud crane
#

👀

fluid ravine
#

idk how the magnets work in HE switches in terms of sizes and fluxes so im not gonna even bother

#

but just think of it as Novas and you can swap the stem poles with something else unique all and all

young viper
#

Yeah, I know mx stems are pretty generic

fluid ravine
#

you rite
simple as that

young viper
#

Wait the bottom housing would be different shite

fluid ravine
#

HE switch molds are just HUGE at every parts of the switch

#

and then we have a magnet that's just there

#

hitting the bottom out like there's no tomorrow

fluid ravine
young viper
#

Yeah, I mean mx switches are super versatile because they have 2 contact points. One of which they can get to sound like whatever they want

Technically the keyboard will calibrate to the magnet. But like whats the absolute minimum strength the magnet needs to mave lol

Finally installed my new Tikken "switches" and springs (although it is a bit wasteful to buy 2*120 stiffer springs and use less than a dozen) and am so happy. Now I only need better keycaps. The wooting ones are suck huge salty chocolate balls. Yes, even/especially the double shot ones. None of the tertiary functions are visible. Light doesn't goes through, so it isn't visible with backlight nor even when I shine a light on it. So I resulted to glue effing stickers on. I have bought 3rd party ones that can do it, but those are made for keyboards with the LED at the bottom, so the main function is also printed there. Which, I think, feels and looks wrong. I also have a few novelty keycaps that can distribute the light to the bottom of the key way better than both (wooting and replacement, you can't even tell on those where the LED is the bottom is as bright as the top, and way brighter than wooting), but they ain't made for typing (too high, even if only a mm [in cases]//textured surface that becomes gross). So there isn't an excuse that the bottom part of the key isn't illuminated.
Anyone knows a good replacement?

You're the first person I have seen to level such critique at the keycaps

#

Your best bet seems to be to design your own keycaps using a service like yuzukeycaps or goblinkeycaps

#

Because your wants are very specific, I think that would be the easiest to tick all the boxes for you

There's a backlit version of yuzu, ran by the same people

static sage
#

#+ä#+ä-!?ä#ü! Everything I found so far: Custom, but not backlit. Backlit, but not top print. Top print, but not ISO. ISO, but only Russian. German, but only primary.
I really like the MAIMOO style, though. (Fully translucent, very milky, black top print.) Although, I'd only be able to tell how they realy look once I have some in hand. But that is moot as they don't come in ISO nor German
