[sly palm]

In 10? Most of them are already e waste

Well at least Goku is right with that, we have some laughs and giggles

Why is the OW60 considered a gasket mount? Isn’t it actually a friction fit design?

patent here

[glacial wind]

it has gaskets on the side if you're using their method with a v1

gasket mount comes in a ton of different styles basically

that said HE gaskets are all way stiffer than MX gaskets, so whether you go friction fit module drop in or use their friction fit/gasket style thing, not really much difference in feel because it doesn't really flex in the middle

[glacial wind]

[glacial wind]

they be for pro valorant team. I have to upgrade them all with tikkens and some plate swaps and deliver them hopefully before season starts this friday

@sacred elm don't watch still shining. These main characters are idiots

they have 2 episode to resolve the cluster mess that the drama has devolved into somehow

[calm pulsar]

why not get them 12 prebuilt 60hev2s with tikkens preinstalled, if it's valorant

[glacial wind]

pros get their pick. some wanted 80he

so gotta do some modding with fr4 plates and tikkens

there are a handful of v2s in that pile though

[calm pulsar]

either way you will probably put on some kdrama and make short work of the 80hes

[glacial wind]

that is true. The fr4 plates are waiting at airport still so maybe they come in on wednesday right in time for episode 9 and 10 of still shining

CF plate for my standard 60 v2 should arrive today. Won't get have time to put it on until tomorrow. I'm excited though.

[glacial wind]

2 out of 10 80HE done. 8 to go, lucky tip to tip episode 9 is coming out in next 30 mins or so

[humble surge]

Anyone got invite to the Wuque testing yet?

[glacial wind]

it only just started, i doubt they're sending out invites right away

[vital gate]

Hey guys, I just bought my Wooting 60HE V2 and I want to tray-mount it with my Alumaze case. I saw that the tray mount pad is only available with the module, what should I do?

[glacial wind]

i assume yours is a non module?

and also why tray mount?

[vital gate]

yeah...

I don’t like the friction fit, and I’m too lazy to ground my Alumaze case haha

[glacial wind]

okay well then you can maybe still tray mount but your sound may not be as good because you'd basically be tray mounting without the entire friction fit layer

honestly there's no gain in tray mounting it though so i'm not sure why you want to tray mount it when alumaze is friction fit compatible

if you really want it to be more secure while in friction fit, you could just screw in the 4 tray mount screws in lightly, then you essentially have tray mounted your friction fit

like what I showed in the grounding video, you can just screw in both sides and it's basically tray mounted then

[sturdy rock]

Kk

[tulip rapids]

Is there a requirement to apply? Like needing a 100 followers on youtube, etc?

[vital gate]

ohh i will try this then

[glacial wind]

i wasn't told any requirement, but i'm sure they prioritise people with actual review channels/socials

[vital gate]

Another question: do you think that in the future we’ll be able to buy a polycarbonate switch plate for it, like with the 60HE? I saw that it isn’t compatible with the 60HE v2

[glacial wind]

not for now, but there are pc plates available on aliexpress/taobao already

and we have plate files available so you could even order a custom plate made if you wanted

so 3rd party have you covered there already

[vital gate]

Yay thanks for your help!

[chilly mural]

@glacial wind have you tried comparing mx brown/tactile equavilent with the tecsee tactile? I'm curious how close is both before getting the tecsee tactile.

[glacial wind]

i don't think i even have an mx brown left anywhere lol

i haven't had one since early day razer keyboards lol

[chilly mural]

I see, guess I better just buy soon and find out

[glacial wind]

tactiles all are not it for me for gaming though

i don't like any of them for my gaming setup

it makes the HE actuation point feel weird

[chilly mural]

I like them for rhythm gaming, my rhythm game controller's switches feels very similar to mx brown

Though, I do use a fixed actuation point for that kind of game, 3.5mm/4mm to be exact

[glacial wind]

the problem with HE and tactile is getting the tactile bump to match your actuation just doesn't work

you have to match the actuation to the switch instead, and can never change it if you want that synergy

[chilly mural]

I guess, but I bottom out always anyway, I just want the feel

to me, it almost doesn't matter where the bump is, as long as I can feel the tactile and the switch hitting the end

[glacial wind]

could try gaterons one then maybe

the tecsee i don't know if i'd use it for rhythm games because of the soft bottom

[chilly mural]

Hmm, the force do almost match the brown, guess I can choose that

[glacial wind]

all the silent switches have been a nightmare to get super accurate

[chilly mural]

what's the problem with soft bottom? Membrane kind of keyboard/controller can still do fine in rhythm game based on the older stuff

[chilly mural]

waow, reading my mind

[glacial wind]

basically to get to super tight deadzones at bottom with switch selector accuracy, it requires us measuring and then setting a 'bottom' point

right now the way to do that is already really annoying with someone basically having to manually look at data of the press and decide 'this looks like the most stable bottom'

the range at the end of press is let's say for example 1-10mm (it's not but i'm using big round numbers), and someone will manually say "ok you can see at 4mm the bottom out looks like it stops increasing as sharply, so that's a stable bottom"

with silent switches it's like instead of 1-10 you have 1-50 lol

so the range you have to try 'guess' the stable bottom area is impossible

[chilly mural]

Even when auto calibration?

[glacial wind]

yeah even auto calibration doesn't help because the soft press of a silent switch might be 3.2mm for example or 3.7mm with hard press

so the range is way too big for us to apply accurate settings, which means the only way is giving you a gigantic deadzone wiggle room

so it works okay with auto calibration and office type work, but soon as you want it to work with switch selector and low deadzone/sensitive settings it's no go

[chilly mural]

what if I want it to stay consistent at like fixed 3mm?

[glacial wind]

as long as you don't mind that you 3mm might be 2.7-3.3mm it should be fine

it's basically just never going to be super accurate at exactly getting 3mm every time

the silent switch adjustment range is just set to be less accurate to account for how inaccurate the top/bottom measurements are

[chilly mural]

okay that's a problem for me. That's like 2-3ms deviation which is ass for rhythm game

[glacial wind]

yeah silent switch i would never buy for timing games

even with our super stable switches it's already a huge pain in the butt to get accurate

to the point where we've tested things like setting a 'wiggle' setting to try compensate for inaccurate of stem movement based on the switch

and if we set that too tight then it can mean some switches have issues bottoming out for example, which is what happened with one of the betas and ufo setting not hitting bottom

so even with our super stable movement switches it's absurdly finicky to get those ultra low 0.1 no deadzone levels working

btw for those testing wuque diamonds, we're pushing out the firmware for it in switch selector beta soon, so you'll be able to test it with the setting in the selector already live by the time you have the switches

[chilly mural]

found da listing on taobao, should be able to get it next week if I don't have anything else to buy

[calm pulsar]

I agree but with a twist
"silent switch i would never buy"

[glacial wind]

i think they're nice if you have a purely office use only board lol

like i'd use tecsees for a work only keyboard

[chilly mural]

For office use I'm very much fine with macbook's keyboard.

[glacial wind]

i'm currently getting great milage getting rid of extra sets of switches though

i swapped out the lekker v2 in this order of 80HE for vct team with tikkens for all players and my old lubed switches like ttc pom lubed for the coaches

finally get rid of the extra stockpile that doesn't fit into my containers

[oak jewel]

[zealous estuary]

Hey guys, i'm having the HE80 since months, decided to switch from the lekker V2 switches to TTC KOM POM
Counter-strafing is better but it lacks of initial force, i feel like 50g is needed cause back in the days i had the g pro x which was not stable but the counter-strafing was really pronounced
Do you have any recommended switches for CS2 please?
Thank you

[calm pulsar]

TTC are way smoother than lekkers, so when you apply the force it feels way quicker
you could replace the spring with a stronger one but dunno if there are replacement springs for TTC

tikkens have the same force required to press as lekkers

[zealous estuary]

are the owlab ti he more appropriate ? best

[calm pulsar]

I think tikkens and owlabs should be around the same in terms of wobble, but Ti HEs have softer springs

[zealous estuary]

or are the gravastar ufo the best option for stability / regarding my need in counter strafing

[calm pulsar]

based on your description I thought you need more spring strength rather than stability of the switch itself, but ufos should be better in terms of wobble than TTC

[zealous estuary]

tbh i think i don't know much, i'm just talking about feelings. back in the days with mechanical keyboard such as the g pro x with clicky blue switches i had like some "force" to "feel" decently the counter strafing. The issue with lekker, it was a disaster in movement ingame, thats why i tried ttc its decent but i can't really master my movement because it's "too soft" or "too fast". It's like i need switches which are going to give me the little extra delay to avoid clicking the counter key too fast. Sorry for being not that much understable as its all personal feeling but to conclude yes i'm looking for more strength switches, thank you ; i guess it's all about the bottom force i'm talking about and it seems i need more, what do you think?

[calm pulsar]

well blue mechanical switches are tactiles, so you definitely feel some resistance in order to actuate

HE keyboards have linear switches for a reason, so that you can adjust the actuation, but in turn the switches all have a very smooth linear feeling throughout the whole press

there are some tactiles out there for HE, but they almost defeat the point of HE cause now you have a fixed point of where you feel that tactility/resistance

you could try a combination of using a slower actuation point like 1.0mm and a switch with a stronger spring

[zealous estuary]

Do you have any recommandation regarding the stronger spring ? thank you so much for your time and help

[calm pulsar]

Tikkens are the only switch with 60g force that I know that's also relatively recent, but it's best to check sno's database of switches: https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/ (at the bottom)

[glacial wind]

Yeah if you choose to tray mount it would be grounded via the screws already

[analog storm]

I'm obsessed with the UFO switches.

[lyric nimbus]

@glacial wind

considering switching from owlabs to ws fluxes

or do you suggest dcfs over regular fluxes

[sacred elm]

both good, just sound preference

[fluid ravine]

My fraken switch (should be similiar enough to owlab) vs ws fluxes

@sacred elm since WS Diamonds are unannounced there's still no official info on it right?

[sacred elm]

There will be 2 versions

[lyric nimbus]

mmm

idk...

i still have the fear that if i get dcfs over regular fluxes

im like "oh my board sounds dead"

[fluid ravine]

is the structual design different?

[regal patio]

Too much PC

[sacred elm]

I think they changed something internally

[fluid ravine]

i'm kinda iffy about the material selection but the switch does seem a bit diff than the flux lineup

[sacred elm]

molds are different

[lyric nimbus]

but again i'll have to see when my catbread edition case arrives

[fluid ravine]

alright good

still not fond with the material choices

light ass springs too

[regal patio]

We need wuque to make the ocean whisper's widely available

[fluid ravine]

pretty long though

[sacred elm]

small comparison

[lyric nimbus]

2he case made out of PLA -> 2he case made out of polycarbonate with a 2lb steel weight

[fluid ravine]

which one is which?

[lyric nimbus]

i think right one is owlabs

[sacred elm]

GH is dcf and JK og

[lyric nimbus]

oh its og

honestly i like the right sound profile more

[fluid ravine]

wait i just realized who you replied to

[sacred elm]

oh you thought I had diamonds nope

[fluid ravine]

sno does no?

[sacred elm]

ye

[fluid ravine]

i remember him mentioning it before

[lyric nimbus]

dcfs sound a little too deep for my tastes

[regal patio]

Thock is never too deep

The golden rule

[fluid ravine]

well guess we gotta wait now
on the form it says we gotta make a video of us reviewing the switch?

[sacred elm]

regular Flux sounds cleaner imo

[lyric nimbus]

yes

regular fluxes sound clean

[sacred elm]

but it's a bit too sharp for some and that's why it's not that popular compared to dcf and other Flux versions

[lyric nimbus]

dcfs feel like they kinda lack some "oomph"

[fluid ravine]

I cant get my fluxes to sound good on any of my HE boards

[lyric nimbus]

but honestly

[fluid ravine]

mainly because i dont have any plastic plates

[lyric nimbus]

i think running cerakeys inherently makes my keyboard sound a lot more blunt then it would be otherwise

[regal patio]

I feel like the PA12 WS diamond will sound bad

[lyric nimbus]

and in that context i think regular ws fluxes are better

[fluid ravine]

pitch difference wise yeah you can hear the difference between dcf and og, but i think it varies between builds as well with how it sounds.

[regal patio]

Cuz it's not the top out sound that's muted

[lyric nimbus]

like

considering my build i want a switch that is sharp

[regal patio]

What does axis mean

[fluid ravine]

wtf there's 4 parts?

[lyric nimbus]

stem iirc

wait

wtf???

[regal patio]

The stem is made of 2 materials?!

[fallen pecan]

axis = switch

[regal patio]

Wtf

[lyric nimbus]

oh wait

yeah its stem

[regal patio]

How does that make sense

[fallen pecan]

diff context

[sacred elm]

axis is stem, fourth part is light diffuser

[fallen pecan]

when used in a mechanical sense it's an axis

[lyric nimbus]

upper cover = upper part
axis = stem
lower cover = lower part
diffueser

ya

[fallen pecan]

in switches it's the same word

[regal patio]

Confusing

[lyric nimbus]

but yeah i think i switch from owlabs -> ws fluxes

[fallen pecan]

magnetic switch = magnetic axis if translated directly

context matters

[lyric nimbus]

not dcfs though

[regal patio]

So only the stem is a different material than PC

[fluid ravine]

Honestly just my take from most of the flux switches ive heard in other boards and even mine. Depending on how you can enclose the switch sound and vibration, you can get a really good sound out of any of the flux lineup if you keep it in tone. Like using low reverb plates, plastic plates or fr4 for example, as well as using sound acoustic modifiers like plate foam or silicone to mute out most of the highs so there's more proper emphasis on the mids and lows. But most of the time they all have that one same characteristic if you can't manage to keep it in tone, it sounds a bit too boxy or open because of the structure (And partially the reason why they use PC for the top housing for some damn reason).

[fallen pecan]

still waiting on this beauty

[sacred elm]

I think Diamond addresses that, they said they sound fuller because of different internal structure

[fluid ravine]

see if they do manage to make the proper changes then this be huge step up compared to the flux line

If they say so themselves then i digress the material choices and would be looking forward to how much the internal structure improve it sounds

feel wise, their switches are stupid stable enough so dont see the point of changing it much

[fluid ravine]

A fuller sounding HE switch is what we need
what we always needed since day 1

[chilly mural]

feel full to press too

[fluid ravine]

well this is interesting..

[fluid ravine]

wait i like that idea and thought process

useless empty cavity because there's no leaf

so they decided to make it compact

it reminds me of UFOs if im being honest. UFO's bottom housing structure is like really small internal wise compared to normal HE switches iirc

[sacred elm]

yeah

too bad you can't lube them

[fluid ravine]

yeah...

i forgot how wuque does the stem for their HE switches...

how does it top out again

[sacred elm]

sno said diamonds are like ufo x ttc horse so yeah, they should be very nice

[fluid ravine]

shafie you getting my hopes up a bit right now

[sacred elm]

check their price in a week or so and you won't have any hope anymore

[fluid ravine]

LMAo

well if they're for free though...

to review of course...

[fluid ravine]

thanks

wait is it those double sided diffuser type switch

[sacred elm]

looks like it

[fluid ravine]

what to call the internal cover/layer of the switch..

wait the stem is interesting too..

the pole sticking out of the magnet

"Original Octagonal Shaft Core"

"Double magnet surface area"
"30% increase in magnetic flux"

[sacred elm]

👀

[fluid ravine]

AYO WOT

wait im trying to process what im reading..

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

dudeeeee imagine that perforated magnet with like a protruded stem

its like sticking a long pole end of a MX switch into that magnet and have it stick out

true long pole action right there

im curious on how that would work

ykyk

"wobble is measured to be less than 0.1mm off the axis"

"Triple Point reinforcement at the top middle and bottom"

damn they really trying to improve the stem wobble even more than what we need

yeah for sure this needs to be one piece or like clipped on tightly together
kahil style too

[glacial wind]

that whole bottom magnet construction thing is what is making their production so limited i think

they're still not able to easily produce it at scale i think, which is why initially diamond switch will be a bit limited

[little glen]

Excited to hear the reviews and then not buy any cause they‘re gonna be so expensive 😭

[chilly mural]

$3 per switch ahh

[uneven cradle]

Everything is pointing towards

[little glen]

Also, one of my horsies is probably underlubed or something, pressing down while slightly off center makes it kinda stick to the sides and jump instead of sliding smoothly

[sacred elm]

oh that's normal behavior with ufos

[little glen]

They are called diamonds after all, first they need to be illegally mined by children in the congo

[glacial wind]

ttc horses lube is very minimal and not well spread

i would hand lube if you intend long term use of them and are particular about feel

[little glen]

I only had issues with that one switch tbh

But maybe i didnt notice others yet

[sacred elm]

man, my ufos are so dry now and desperately need some lube and I can't open them

[glacial wind]

if you open them up you'll notice the lube is barely on the sides and not really much on rails

[little glen]

Get a big tub of lube and dunk them in there

[paper bloom]

Yo

[paper bloom]

Time to get a bath tub filled with lube and just throw them in

or idk

[chilly mural]

Lube yourself and it'll self lube when you using it

[paper bloom]

Ayo

[sacred elm]

[chilly mural]

Much more economical

[paper bloom]

Yknow what you aint wrong

[chilly mural]

Compared to bathtub full of lube

[paper bloom]

Lowk i wanna try UFOS now or keep using deep clack

[sacred elm]

I would get diamonds instead

[paper bloom]

R diamonds any good?

[little glen]

Next ufo iteration needs lube ports, small holes where you can stick a syringe in to lube specific parts of the switch without opening it up

[sacred elm]

not released yet but should be good

[little glen]

This one‘s free, if anyone has contact with gravastar they can use this idea

[paper bloom]

TIme to use 3D printing and most of all sending them blueprints

TIME TO LOCK IN

[little glen]

I dont want money i just want switches to be able to be lubed after the fact

[chilly mural]

Or... you buy next set of switches 6 months later

[little glen]

Consoomer mindset

[sacred elm]

We can't open them, sure, but at least have a good factory lube I opened one of them and they're super dry

[chilly mural]

*pro mindset. Always get the latest and greatest cause that's what making me Diamond

[little glen]

If i just spend another 2000 dollars on peripherals i can be kennys

[old hill]

Can anyone explain the differences between these switches?

I have the original Wooting 60 with the L60s, and I really do not like how they feel. I am looking for something more stable and better sounding, if that makes sense.

If anyone has tried a few of these, which one would you recommend?

Who knows a good site that sells cases for wooting but not at an exorbitant price? I would need it to be able to be delivered to Romania

[left depot]

yeah I got the other tama set from cannonkeys

the mat is super cute

[little glen]

Depends what you consider exorbitant

[bitter aurora]

Im very new on this area,i would like to pay like 100 euro for a case and a nicey keycap set

[little glen]

What keyboard do you have

60he or 80he

[bitter aurora]

60he v2

aluminum

[little glen]

Honestly

The aluminium version is probably better or as good as any case you can get for under 100

[bitter aurora]

The keyboard is a bit heavy, this bothers me.
I ordered the more expensive version just so it would arrive faster.

[little glen]

Why is that a problem, do you move it around often?

[bitter aurora]

kindoff

I like this type

[little glen]

That is also metal so it also wont be light

[bitter aurora]

ij

k

is hard to setup or smth?

[little glen]

But if you want that style, the og is holy60 from kbdfans

[bitter aurora]

thats too much

and can t be delivered in romania

[little glen]

There are some clones on aliexpress but they may have issues with compatibility

[bitter aurora]

i found one on temu

🙂

[little glen]

What store did you try

[bitter aurora]

kdbfans

[little glen]

They have a website and an aliexpress shop

[bitter aurora]

give me the link pls

[little glen]

They might have different shipping offering

[bitter aurora]

i would like to know if the case is hard to setup?

[little glen]

Very easy

[bitter aurora]

So you can help me with a link,please?

[little glen]

https://kbdfans.com/products/holy60-case

This is their website

[bitter aurora]

119$...

[little glen]

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006903201698.html

I did say it would be more expensive

[bitter aurora]

what about this

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010728943044.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.778fkAnykAnycF&mp=1

[little glen]

I cant see it due to my region

Can you send a screenshot of the page

[bitter aurora]

is very expensive dude that s like half of my keboard

[sacred elm]

don't expect quality to be as good as kbdfans

[little glen]

It might work but i cannot say if its fully compatible and quality will be worse

[sacred elm]

that case isn't friction fit compatible

[bitter aurora]

i can t pay 119 $

[sacred elm]

then keep your current case

[little glen]

IMO, going from original wooting 60he v2 aluminium case to this would be a downgrade

You dont need a new case

The wooting one is good

[bitter aurora]

ok

but a nicely keycaps?

[flat cobalt]

Holy Yuck

[little glen]

Nice keycaps are unfortunately also out of your budget range to be honest

[bitter aurora]

keycaps is more then 100 euro?

[little glen]

https://oblotzky.industries

Yes

[bitter aurora]

they have gold on them?

[little glen]

Premium keycaps are expensive

No, premium german manufacturing and molds are expensive

[bitter aurora]

i think i will stay with my default keyboard

and make money for de kdbfans case

[little glen]

You can find clones of some sets and there are some cheaper brands but if you want something decent you‘ll probably still spend at least 80 bucks

[bitter aurora]

i hope kdb can deliver in europe.

[cloud crane]

Premium keycaps can be 60usd now

[little glen]

They can, i have ordered from them to germany at least 3 times

[bitter aurora]

so you pay 119 dolar for a case?

[left depot]

you would be surprised how expensive peoples keyboards can get if its their main hobby and have disposable income

[little glen]

More but yes

[sacred elm]

[bitter aurora]

MORE???

[little glen]

And not just once

Hey guys, this is my 60HE v2 Build can anyone tell me if I am missing something, something is wrong/ wont fit, or if something isn't the best! Im trying to completely max out my wooting with best of the best stuff.

Are these Knight Stabs V4 the best ones rn for 60he v2?

[glacial wind]

Tofu redux comes with case foam already normally just fyi

So that other foam is normally if people want extra

[sacred elm]

It's between those and Typeplus, both are equally good

[terse fossil]

hmm yeah, thats why I was asking. I saw a guy on youtube was modding his 60he v2 and put on Typeplus

so idk which to pick between those two

[terse fossil]

yea I mean its 1.5$ so its fine

Is there any parts I am missing that I could add as upgrades or something like that?

[sacred elm]

Nope, looks good

[ionic breach]

u need lube for stabs

[terse fossil]

oh yea 👍

[glacial wind]

I needed a movie to watch while modding 80he keyboards. I truly forgot how bad the hobbit movies were until I got to the cave troll making jokes

yesh, personally I think that'll go well with a black case

Who made these new and original stabs

[sacred elm]

Ablestudio or something

[cloud crane]

Is the manu typeplus

Whats best lube for Swagkeys Knight Stabilizer v4`s wire and gravastar ufo switches?

[broken notch]

You cannot lube ufos

[sly palm]

Aren't you able to lube em with a syringe?

[broken notch]

No

[terse fossil]

I watched a youtube video on a guy doing it but he said its very difficult to open them

[broken notch]

That's their major drawback

[lyric nimbus]

you cannot lube gravastar ufos because their switch design is interesting

but for your stabs?

205g0

[broken notch]

You simply cannot open the UFOs without losing half of them in the process/breaking them

[terse fossil]

what about the wire on the stabs shouldnt I use a diffrent one?

[lyric nimbus]

205g0

[terse fossil]

oh really? I thought it was the Molykote EM-50L for the wire

[lyric nimbus]

i mean you can use both

[terse fossil]

which way is the best way?

[lyric nimbus]

i think it's stab grease for the wire

and then 205g0 for the stab housing

wait for someone else though

im not 100% sure either since the most i did was inject the stab with 205g0

[terse fossil]

https://youtu.be/ebX-Gx0OG0s?si=iCtwjT5pxX-4VtfJ&t=1030

its very hard but its possible haha

[broken notch]

I know, we all know

Don't do it

[terse fossil]

I might try to do it in future for the space bar if I get metal keycaps

[broken notch]

You will break more than you open

[terse fossil]

to put in better spring

[broken notch]

I wouldn't do that at all

[terse fossil]

yea yea Ill just do one if needed

what if the space bar is too heavy

tho

[broken notch]

Then you get another switch

Nobody here will ever tell you you can open these safely

[terse fossil]

its gonna sound diffrent tho 😱

[broken notch]

They are specifically designed to not be openened

[terse fossil]

damn

[broken notch]

Do I think that sucks? Yes.

But even Shafie broke a few trying to open them I believe

[terse fossil]

@broken notch what do you think, this is what I ended up going with. Still didnt order the case tho cant decide between green or black tofu60 redux

[broken notch]

Cool keycaps

[terse fossil]

Thanks 🙂

yours are pretty cool too

what do you think looks better black with green or green with green?

[little glen]

White with green

[terse fossil]

oof not a fan of white and everything else in my setup is either black or green

[little glen]

Then combo different shades of green

[fallen pecan]

green green

[terse fossil]

the only other green avalible on maxgaming is the fully light green which would look very off

[terse fossil]

probably will do green on green yea

Kitty yearns for the mines

[sweet oak]

As a kitten, i yearned for the meows

[sacred elm]

No, you don't need Molykote for Knight v4s

Only 205 for both wire and housing

[tender anchor]

which should sound thockier if properly tuned the 60hev2 or the 80he?

[urban ingot]

I use Trybosys 3204 for stab legs and 205g0 for everything else. But just 205g0 is fine for ALL of it.

[tulip rapids]

thocky on he boards is mx propaganda

[tender anchor]

ok, lowest deep sound profile?

[urban ingot]

Trybosys 3204 is actually thinner than 205g0. But I prefer it for the legs.

[tender anchor]

is that propaganda too?

[urban ingot]

Nova's are kind of thocky... ish.

Well I guess not, just not loud clacky

[tulip rapids]

i only know of the clack

look in #🪛│modding_faq

for sound test of switches and decide which ones you like

[lunar sand]

New keycaps … a little off my style but actually like them ehehe

[tender anchor]

I know which switch I like I just need to know which board as the thockiest sound

or deepest low sound profile

[urban ingot]

...

[tulip rapids]

people always come here begging for a fish but never ask how to catch a fish

[tulip rapids]

if you look in the chat i tagged you will find your answers

[tender anchor]

question is clear, which board could have the best thocky sound either the 60hev2 or the 80he if you cannot answer stay away

you have said you only know the clack so you shouldnt even answer idk what your problem is mate

[urban ingot]

A POM plate is going to give you the thockiest sound, but they're damn soft. The softest plate that comes with a Wooting board is a PC plate (I believe).

[tulip rapids]

clearly youre a troll trying to rage bait

reading must be hard

[tender anchor]

excuse me sir?

I have just asked which one is the thockiest sound and your answer is that is propaganda

[crude holly]

What’s the best clicky switch’s

Which color I would say

[urban ingot]

HE switches aren't known for a thocky sound profile because of the way they're made with current tech. If you know which switch you want, go with any board you want and buy a POM plate for it.

And all the foam you can find for that board.

[chilly mural]

use the link given as it contain sound test from 60hev2 and 80he. Bonus point for 60hev2 is that it has a sound test for majority of popular switches tested with the same setup.

[tender anchor]

thank you for your answer

[sly palm]

You should choose the layout based on the layout, the big sound difference are coming from the rest like switches, plate, case etc

[broken notch]

Our problem is with you demanding an answer without listening really

[tropic urchin]

60HEv2 and 80HE are just different sized PCBs with different prebuilt materials used (plate mainly), if you buy the module for either, all you gotta worry about is finding the materials to make it HE ‘thocky’

[broken notch]

Why are we humouring this kind of shitty behaviour anyway

[tropic urchin]

You’re going to be using PC, POM or any other plastic plate so the best you can do is to pair it with poron foam (deeper in sound) and pair with whatever switch you fancy

That’s about all you can do

[tender anchor]

maybe the case like the plastic instead of zinc on the 80he can make a difference for example

or a wood case for the 60he

[sly palm]

Yes, that wasn't your question tho

[crimson sky]

[broken notch]

Vaxee?

[tender anchor]

[broken notch]

Are you trying to be obtuse or do you genuinely expect us to know what you're thinking?

[uneven cradle]

[tender anchor]

[broken notch]

You've been entirely hostile since you rolled in, you just get the same response back. But enough about that. Lets roll back and fogure out what your question is

[tender anchor]

what? in which sentence I have been hostile man?

I dont get it honestly

[broken notch]

As far as differences, there are many and there are none. The layout will not have an inherently different sound

[tender anchor]

thanks

[broken notch]

It's about the plate, the switch and the foam most of all, above all else

[tender anchor]

I have read that "stupidfishfoam" makes a huge difference in sound

[broken notch]

...poron?

[tender anchor]

but the foam provided in both boards might be enough?

[broken notch]

I have no idea what stupidfishfoam is

[tender anchor]

yeah like the one provided in both boards

[broken notch]

So poron, okay

[tender anchor]

yeah I dont know what makes that difference since both are the same matterial

[broken notch]

Now did you read this by asking chatgpt?

[tender anchor]

maybe how dense its?

[broken notch]

If yes, forget everything you've read

The poron will not be the biggest factor

[tender anchor]

no, by looking at forums

[broken notch]

The plate is the biggest sound factor imo

On HE boards

[sly palm]

Ehh I would argue switches
But both makes a good difference

[tender anchor]

have you used cerakey caps?

[broken notch]

No, but I have seen them be soundtested

Go for #🪛│modding_faq

The switch image has a soundtest link

From there you can listen to a lot of combinations

[tropic urchin]

It might make a slight difference but if you already have the 80HE it’s throwing money away for a fractional difference imo

The biggest difference is it was meant to be a better prebuilt experience than the stock 80HE with better stock switches than the old lekkers, if you’re already going for a full mod I’d just stick with what you have

[tender anchor]

yeah maybe its not worth it to fully mod the board for a minimal difference. Bought the gateron jade pro for the 60hev2 and Im happy with it but the sound of the keytok novas are really impressive

[tropic urchin]

I’d imagine the feel is also significantly better since the ol Jade pros are wobble city by today’s meta

[tender anchor]

I hand lube all the switches and the sound improved a lot tho, Im gonna hand lube every switch I purchase from now on

[tender anchor]

yeah the steam wobble is better than the old 45 lekkers I had on my 80he

I didnt realize how good it is to have a switch that doesnt wobble like Shakira belly dance

[lyric nimbus]

the 2he looms

[tender anchor]

the lekker tikkens are good tho but found those to be a bit heavier

I would like to see the 45 lekker tikkens

[regal patio]

I have the keytok nova's and they sound and feel great

They have very little wobble

Keytok nova's are also supported with the wootility beta firmware

[lyric nimbus]

do you know what i need to hide from my 2he

(its from the switch pcb video)

considering im switching to a translucent housing

[young viper]

I have them and I'm a fan of them.

This is one of my favorite sound tests with them

[tender anchor]

sounds amazing mate

I will definitely go for it, cerakeys and the keytok novas

thanks 👍

[young viper]

It should sound pretty good with novas

[tender anchor]

which color do you have btw?

[young viper]

Surprisingly enough that sound test was with tikkens

[young viper]

I have the matte greige

[tender anchor]

are those too shiny?

[young viper]

The shine through is ridiculous

Let me see if I have a pic

They turn whatever color the rgb is haha

I'd probably get the black if I were to buy another set

[tender anchor]

Im checking and there is availability for most of the different styles

but sadly they dont have the ceramic keycaps with MOA style

something like this, rounded

I would love to get this style of keycaps

[vital gate]

Hey! I have a prebuilt version of the 60HE V2, and I was wondering if it might be possible in the future to buy just the foam tray mount layer that’s included in the module version. I might change my case later on, and I don’t want my keyboard to sound hollow if it isn’t compatible with a friction-fit setup

decided to take out the plate/pcb screws in the alpha areas and only using the ones on the outside

[calm pulsar]

and maximum rgb shinethrough

[robust siren]

hows that going

[fluid ravine]

alphas sounds cleaner i cant lie

[robust siren]

[robust siren]

cleaner than the already clean kois?

[fluid ravine]

like the mounting points when screwed tends to accentuate the volume of the module as a whole

[cloud crane]

Did you rip off the standoffs

[fluid ravine]

haha no

not risking doing so

[robust siren]

wait so you just have the standoffs there but not screwed in

[fluid ravine]

if i did desolder the standoffs and attempt to put it back, high chance i can't get the height correctly which can mess with the sensors

[fluid ravine]

yeah

the ones near 67Y, WES, and OPL

[robust siren]

rakka has 9

[fluid ravine]

i need the ones near the outside because of the gummy oring like adding pressure towards the switches

which could separate the plate and pcb overtime

[robust siren]

technically

i dont need any screws for gt-60

[fluid ravine]

and i kept the one near the spacebar because i think without the screw the spacebar sounds weak

[fluid ravine]

with the gasket tabs?

makes sense yeah

[robust siren]

yeah

id probably need like 4 around just to keep it balanced and in place

can maybe get away with 2 and leave the rest on the plate

[fluid ravine]

https://youtu.be/sVlwOc_wMHA?si=HDx8F6uZk8AJ7HDU Yusus sent me this a while ago

[cloud crane]

I wanna do somehing like fkm 70a pcbsnaps, and rip out all the standoffs

[fluid ravine]

and i was swapping plates back and forth

and just decided to do this

[fluid ravine]

summary of the video

quite frankly for you @robust siren its just like removing the standoffs and only using the gasket tabs in your gt60

[cloud crane]

Also josh needs to upgrade his mic setup

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

i wonder if itll effect accuracy

[fluid ravine]

good question

most likely depends on mount really

[cloud crane]

Get the firmest gaskets you can get and hope for the best

[fluid ravine]

lmao

[robust siren]

well gt-60 has 2 different kinds and theyre for different size pcbs

[fluid ravine]

back then when CAM used his wooting in the frog mini

he attempted to use it without using any screws

overtime the pcb slowly like sagged and caused problems

but that's no surprise though since frog mini uses tadpole mount directly on the plate

so the more you type, the pcb will slowly drop lower lower from vibration or flex

[robust siren]

thats not an issue with the gt-60 since it holds the pcb from the bottom

[fluid ravine]

but adding gaskets that supports the pcb from the bottom up might be different who knows. of course the concern of the HE sensors potentially not working properly compared to screws may be there but i think its much better than using no screws with a plate mount system

[fluid ravine]

exactly my thought

[robust siren]

hmmm

i shall degen rip off the plate and slap the 6.25u plate mount on

another day tho

its 12am

[fluid ravine]

lul

im gonna stick with this config for a while and see if i notice anything different

otherwise sound wise im liking it

[robust siren]

ill record a before and after

[lyric nimbus]

tomorrow

[robust siren]

though switches hold onto the rakka pcb really tight to start with

[lyric nimbus]

PLEASE

[fluid ravine]

i still think CF plate sounds a bit too flat in my vella

[lyric nimbus]

i NEED this case

[fluid ravine]

whats going on?

[cloud crane]

His case gonna arrive

[fluid ravine]

OH

YAY

[cloud crane]

😋

[fluid ravine]

exciting

[lyric nimbus]

it comes tomorrow

[fluid ravine]

checking live tracking with Venom.how

bottom out still reaches 3.4mm so thats good

[cloud crane]

Been thinking, for a full size he board it might be better to split the numpad and main pcb into two for better acoustics 🤔

[fluid ravine]

saws off 2he

[cloud crane]

[sly palm]

[glacial wind]

doesn't really solve the real reason why you have standoffs still though

yeah your switches don't move out now, but you still introduce a ton of inaccuracy by not having standoffs stopping flex

this fix just strikes me as one of the fixes where i don't know why you wouldn't just have an mx board at that stage

[calm pulsar]

real

[cloud crane]

Heronnnnn

[glacial wind]

I think my final batch of new switches arrives today with the off studio ones. Then I’ll do the soundtest for heron, snow shine, off studio all at once

[lyric nimbus]

ngl idk if my 2he introduces inaccuracy

it's bottom mounted with fr4

[glacial wind]

Should be fine assuming it has standoffs/braces along the bottom

[lyric nimbus]

no

it's just

fr4 plate
pcb held together with fr4 plate using this for the 15 screws
https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

no gasket, no nothing

the plate is fastened to the case with screws

[glacial wind]

it's screwed down so you're fine

the screwed in points are standoffs just fyi

[lyric nimbus]

oh by standoffs i thought u meant like

tray mount standoffs

lol

actually

now that i think about it there's no difference LOL

im so stupid
