i thought u were talking like

center support too

but yeah like if u want gasket why are u going with HE

which requires precision...

[calm pulsar]

you can go with softer mount systems as long as your plate is firmly attached to the pcb

this way switches are not going to be moving relative to the pcb, but the pcb will be mounted softer than tray mount

No problem, I have a v2 split iso uk carbon plate from hype keyboard I’m looking to get rid off so just thought I’d ask, glad you found one!

I made my keyboard by vapor depositing atoms in the shape of a keyboard it costed me 50k

[glacial wind]

Ah, 12 keyboards upgraded with tikkens/fr4 plates

The aftermath

[glacial wind]

these off studio silents are pretty nice

probably best non tecsee/rubber dome style silents so far. still small give at top/bottom though, but not much you can do about that

[oak jewel]

i see you've adopted my domain expansion

[glacial wind]

these valorant pros better win, i even lubed their spacebars

[chilly mural]

Then hold the 80he as if it's their new king

[abstract island]

is there a good reason to not mix switches?

[chilly mural]

what do you mean mixing switches? Mixing in different switch to make a franken switch or having one or more key of the keyboard being of different switch.

[abstract island]

the latter, different keys having different types of switches

[chilly mural]

Other than some keys not feeling the same, there's nothing wrong with it.

[abstract island]

I guess you don’t have a consistent sound profile but that’s not too important to me

[urban ingot]

For gaming, a lot of people do it. Makes for inconsistent feel when general typing though.

[chilly mural]

not even just sound, but the feel of the typing. Which is equally as important. But if you don't care, just dew it if you wanna.

[abstract island]

I don’t think I’ll do it to my letters

but I don’t see a good reason to change the switches of my F keys on the 80HE for example

and I like my spacebar being extra stable but I don’t like the stable switches in general

[urban ingot]

Nothing wrong with mixing and matching if you're doing it to save money. Like only "upgrading" your typing keys.

[south swallow]

Oh nice one, I gave my 60HE+ to my girlfriend, then my friend sold his 80HE so I brought that for her. I have the v2 split and I love it. What made you change to an 80HE?

[gritty sleet]

I would trade my 80he for a 60v2 the cases are way cheaper for 60 xD

[north wren]

hmm.. idk ill take them into consideration

[cobalt ruin]

Helllooo, i have a small question
Its my first time owning this kind of keyboard and i LOVE IT! I lubed my switches from the Wooting TWO HE a while ago and do i have to lube again after a while? Thanks

[sly palm]

only lube if your keys feel scratchy or something like that, otherwise you are good to go

[cobalt ruin]

Perfect, thanks

I would like to help, but I don't own a 80he so 😅

[robust siren]

ive never pulled off both ends on mine

[vernal valve]

I wont be near my keyboard today, but if you help remind me tomorrow i can open mine up and take a quick picture for you

Also for the record, im not sure it matters that much, as long as both are plugged in the same way (its impossible to plug it in upside down anyways) it should be fine

[dusky geyser]

yeah thats what i was hoping. just seemed odd that the cable had a label distinguishing which end should go where

i just took a 50/50 and plugged it in and it seems to be working fine

[sacred elm]

[vernal valve]

Solid

[glacial wind]

interesting the silent versions of these off studio/tnt 6 axis switches are a little bit less wobbly on the top. I think the dampening seems to fill up a bit of the 'wobble' that normally happens

heron switches are really great btw. will upload soundtest later, but i could see them replacing owlab ti as a less loud option for a default mx style switch

the off studio standard six realms switch is also great for the price. Quite clean sound

but will be mass soundtest upload later for ice shine, ultra r2, heron, pink lotus flux, six realms regular + silent + silent pro

[broken notch]

Goodday Sno

[glacial wind]

[broken notch]

@sacred elm do you have the image at hand pretty please

[wise crescent]

Since yesterday, I haven't been able to turn on the keyboard. When I plug it in, it makes a sound indicating it's connected, but it doesn't work.

[broken notch]

Do this, courtesy if Shafie

Oh!

I copied it from you, sorry

[wise crescent]

Access via the website or browser.

[broken notch]

Browser

[wise crescent]

I plugged in the keyboard and it makes a sound but it's not working. I don't know why.

okey its work bro thanks

[glacial wind]

i'd describe them as a less sharp/loud sounding owlab ti he

oh oops that one isn't 4k, redoing it

here we go, omnitype heron sound test: https://youtube.com/shorts/-JBGmSscgeA

will upload the rest later after gym+food

[chilly mural]

Can agree, I feel like it has less of that 2-3khz which really makes it less in your face when it comes to sound

[glacial wind]

i think when they come out we'll finally have a new replacement for owlab ti he on the list

[fluid ravine]

I have yet still to get a sony lens

[tropic urchin]

Do you though?

[little glen]

Are you considering a round up video with some community/your selections and associated sound tests all packaged in one longer comparison video

Could maybe do a quarterly video or something showing the top switches that released in that timespan

[oak jewel]

wait that actually sounds great

[glacial wind]

Yep that’s basically been planned since almost a year ago already, but a lot of modding content was put on hold until they finish the website update so I have an entire section of the Wooting site to configure modding guides and content releases

Basically everything you might imagine has been pre planned as different video concepts and releases, but I’ve been waiting for our website template to be done to match it

[little glen]

Nice

Good to hear, hope we get it soon

[glacial wind]

Shouldn’t be too long. They finally started working on final version of the template last month so hopefully ‘soon’

I had to wait behind the backlog of 60he v2, tenz launch, general product page re-do, which is why it took so long to get going on it

[glossy pagoda]

Typical marketing team, blaming software for stretched timelines

[sacred elm]

[ionic breach]

honestly i dont like it

gotta hear a bit more tests for it tho

do you know if they are lubed well?

i know how to describe it

[glacial wind]

They are very lightly lubed. I don’t know if final final production will have more lube though

[ionic breach]

it sounds like lekker v3s

[glacial wind]

are you on earbuds?

They definitely don’t sound lekker like

[ionic breach]

wireless headphones

ill try iem one min

[glacial wind]

Oh. That’s why probably

[ionic breach]

oh it was bass boosted too

[glacial wind]

Yeah they sound nothing like lekkers. If you dislike these then you’d have to hate a lot of the current popular picks too which are less clean sounding even

[ionic breach]

not bad

not my taste still but its solid

i think i still prefer the fluxes

[glacial wind]

Deep clacky? Or you mean og flux

[ionic breach]

dc

[glacial wind]

Ah so you like that tone

Yeah these are not pa12 type switches with the deeper but slight muffle

[sacred elm]

patiently waiting for pom stem diamond sound test jed

[glacial wind]

I can’t do sound test of those yet unfortunate. I need more of them to fill a board and I don’t have enough for a proper typing test

[little glen]

Should i blind buy them

[glacial wind]

Have to ask Wuque to send me more later when they send my zoom64

[little glen]

Jk i wont cause they are too pricy

[inland flicker]

what's the big deal with the diamonds?

i'm uninformed

[glacial wind]

Just a new flagship from wuque

So people will be excited of course since the flux are already so popular

[inland flicker]

makes sense

will they sound cleaner than the older fluxes? i found them to be a bit rattly still

[glacial wind]

I do think they sound cleaner yeah. Deep clack in particular is less clean than other flux due to the pa12 tone

But Wuque diamonds have both a pa12 and pom option, so both are available

[sacred elm]

I expect diamond to sound like fuller og flux

I think that's what they planned too, to have less useless empty space inside the switch for a fuller sound

[inland flicker]

mm

if they're cleaner than deep flux then i'm in

[inland flicker]

oh that's cool that they actually addressed that issue

[glacial wind]

I’d describe diamond (non pa12) as something in between a ttc horse and wuque flux

[inland flicker]

slurp

[sacred elm]

which sounds deeper btw, pa12 diamond or nova?

[glacial wind]

Nova still iirc

[uneven cradle]

[inland flicker]

what's the eta for those diamonds?

[sacred elm]

April 10

[inland flicker]

oh damn

[honest spear]

Hello, coming back here after a long time for an update, maybe.
I have the 60HE+, with tape mod (on PCB + every switchs), and Haimu Dove HE switchs.
My goal is to make the most silent/quiet keyboard as possible.

So my questions are :
Can upgrading to 60HEv2 PCB can help my keyboard to be more silent/quiet ?
Is there a switch worth an upgrade from my Haimu Dove HE ? (I saw that TECSEE Magnetic Mute Switch...)

Thanks for your help 🙂

[sacred elm]

Upgrading to v2 module won't make it more silent, but getting PC plate and Peach silent switches will make your board more quiet

[honest spear]

So this right ? https://wooting.io/product/60he-pc-switch-plate?Color=Black&Layout=ISO+Kit

[glacial wind]

There’s also the new silent switches from tnt that I’ll be posting sound test of later today so you can compare all the silent options in our database and pick the one you like most

[sacred elm]

yes

[honest spear]

Sounds nice !

[honest spear]

Also, while I'm at it, is the friction fit pad also worth it ? https://wooting.io/product/friction-fit-pad

[sacred elm]

Not compatible with plastic 60HE+ case

[lyric nimbus]

oh yeah ive been curious

how much does friction fit affect precision

[honest spear]

I have the alumaze 60 case

[sacred elm]

Doesn't affect at all

[sacred elm]

Then sure, get it. You'll need to ground the module by screwing in one screw, check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFVUqHdHFVI

[lyric nimbus]

oh dang

i thought u needed something screw in

[sacred elm]

Friction pad is between PCB and plate and everything's screwed in and secured

[lyric nimbus]

oh ok

[sacred elm]

pink lotus gud

[glacial wind]

pink lotus i find interesting because it's not as deep as deep clack but i think it sounds a bit cleaner. But that's my preference since i don't really like that pa12 muffle tone

i'm still thinking how things will shake up for next revision of switch recommendation list, but waiting for wuque diamond then i think we'll have full set of the incoming gen of switches ready to do some re-arranging of recommendations

[chilly mural]

All combined sounds like a clump of rain hitting a concrete floor.

[tropic urchin]

I don’t see diamonds and I’m forever unhappy they aren’t here yet

[oak jewel]

how do TNT x OS sil;ent feel like?

[glacial wind]

great, although still small amount of softness at top and bottom, but that's unavoidable since they use small dampening silicone looking things on the stem

i think it's my favourite of the 'normal' build silent switches, since tecsee and co is it's own rubber dome thing

[chilly mural]

I like the pink lotus out of the bunch

[glacial wind]

the peach silents are good but they have small amount of housing crunching if you wobble some of them enough, i don't get that from the six realms silents

i think raptor v2 will swap off the stability picks in the database now, and six realms will replace it as the budget option

[calm pulsar]

koi koi koi

[young viper]

Sno you don't use the tape mod or pet film included with the v2 for the sound tests right?

[young viper]

Koi koi koi

https://tenor.com/view/fish-eating-fish-eating-from-spoon-feeding-fish-fish-food-yngqis-gif-20301545

[glacial wind]

i do, it's stock v2 module kit, just case and keycaps picked from my collection

so it has the tape mod + pet film

[young viper]

Ah okay

[oak jewel]

how are novas not on the best rgb list tho 👀

[young viper]

I need to get more switches before the diamonds get here, I don't have much to compare to

[glacial wind]

i only had 3 slots for the graphic lol

i should add them to the batch in the database though

[tropic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/trump-donald-trump-quiet-piggy-trump-quiet-piggy-donald-trump-quiet-piggy-gif-9674803579400233604

Use a real switch like Neo lavenders or WS dash

[regal patio]

Maybe add more slots?

[sly palm]

<@&1098943457654997093>

crunch

[glacial wind]

kind of defeats the purpose of a quick list if you keep expanding it

it's kind of like how V1 had a ton of stats for each switch but it was way overkill and the only people who cared about those extra stats were diehard enthusiasts who didn't need the list anyway

[sweet oak]

Chat is awaiting the crunch update

[glacial wind]

there's a phenomenon in marketing called choice paralysis and it basically means if you give people too much info/choices they'll skip the entire thing because it's annoying digesting and choosing

so for something like the switch recommendation list i try keep it to max 3 per category

[glossy pagoda]

I'm with Mango, whichever switch crunches best

[sweet oak]

Crunch category needs to be made asap

[chilly mural]

wen 3rd 4mm switch

[glacial wind]

raptor v2 already had crunch so maybe it came and went

[sly palm]

i agree with mango and mark

[glossy pagoda]

Only category that matters

gateron is supposed to be launching one aren't they? Although who knows what gaterons schedule is because they also announced their magnetic lev style switch then never released it

[chilly mural]

lmao

[chilly mural]

I forgot about gateron's

[glossy pagoda]

They're going to release it lateron

[glacial wind]

i feel like they got caught in a marketing contest because both ttc and gateron announced a bunch of switches right after each other then neither could release them on time

does this humor come with working for wooting?

[chilly mural]

they need to manipulate #🔧│keyboard_modding and have people here talk about it

[tulip rapids]

no they get scouted at a young age to work for wooting

[glossy pagoda]

That bacon is way overcooked

[tulip rapids]

varedis doesnt know how to cook 🥀

[tropic urchin]

I’d say something but I’ll be in big trouble

[tulip rapids]

naw say it

let the voices speak

[glossy pagoda]

This is why nitrite in bacon is limited to 120ppm instead of the typical 150ppm, because of people who cook the shit out of it like that

[sly palm]

bacon looks nice and crunchy

[tropic urchin]

Mark just likes his bacon to be ham

[queen magnet]

Anyone got recommendations for good switches for the Wooting HE v2?

[tulip rapids]

we dont talk about canadian baccon

[glossy pagoda]

Tikkens

[sly palm]

they make bacon out of Canadians?

[tulip rapids]

yes.

It’s a delicacy in Poland

April 2026 HE Switch Tierlist:
*I ranked the switches overall by price, feel, stability, and sound. I tried to be as fair as possible, but this is my ranking and its still preference.
*Some switches were ranked lower due to issues I faced, but you may not face them.
*The needs

[tulip rapids]

ufos

https://tenor.com/view/wink-eye-wink-gif-3023120962008687924

[sweet oak]

Ufos aren’t crunchy though

Hard to make intergalactic steel crunch

[tropic urchin]

Technically you didn’t say you wanted crunchy just cheap

[sweet oak]

You got me

[tropic urchin]

Not like that switch ranking is crunchy anyway

[glossy pagoda]

You mean Bovine Scrolliform Encephalo-Polski-opathy?

[glacial wind]

I still have no idea why enthusiast peripheral crew decided they all love ice/snow shine from unionwell

[sweet oak]

[tropic urchin]

Definitely describes the individual in question with tremendous detail — excellent work!

[tulip rapids]

dcf deserve to be on the amazing list

[sly palm]

wha

[glacial wind]

It’s literally just a gateron spark but less well lubed and double sided diffusers which doesn’t really aid much for most

[tulip rapids]

to say its good tier with owlabs is a slap to the face

[chilly mural]

it sounds vaguely thocky

[sweet oak]

The thocky conspiracy continues

[tropic urchin]

It’s a slap in the face to see that many Gateron switches high up on any tier list

They release 25 per year and it’s taken them this long lmao

[glacial wind]

That’s what I’m confused about, there’s way thockier switches if that’s the goal

And they’re not that well lubed

[chilly mural]

do any of the people that says it's good hand lubed it by any chance?

[glacial wind]

Not really, split stems suck to hand lube

[glossy pagoda]

BSE, it's a disease where proteins are folded incorrectly in a way that causes other proteins to fold incorrectly, caused by eating prions from infected cow neutral tissue

[chilly mural]

hmm, weird

[sly palm]

ohhh
this sound no gud

thanks for explanation mark

[glossy pagoda]

It is always fatal, colloquially known as mad cow disease

[glacial wind]

I mean realistically I assume it’s same reason as always. 1-2 of the group really liked it and the rest just differed to their judgement and decided it was good and since the entire group is literally like 10-15 super active people it’s easy for that to become the ranking

Otherwise it’s just weird that you put Jade ultra so low but love the unionwells

[chilly mural]

umu umu, like here, but like less than 10 people. Pretty sure at least 2-3 people here is glazing koi

[tulip rapids]

i know some french canadians with that BSE disease

[sweet oak]

If i had no budget constraint i think id wanna try ufos

[glacial wind]

Yeah it’s easy for sentiments to look super popular since the peripheral space is so small

[tulip rapids]

buy from ali express also warning you cant open them and relube it without most likely breaking them

[tropic urchin]

Too much switch variance with their lubing to make it worthwhile

[sweet oak]

Interesting

[uncut shard]

anyone know up to how many mm actuation the XVX HE silents are accurate?

[oak jewel]

did someone say french canadian tarbanak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cznI1f3s8hM

[glacial wind]

They’re just not accurate, it’s not really up to certain mm

That’s the contract you sign for silent switches

[uncut shard]

ahh shame

what are the non silent variants if they exist at all

have always liked EC switches

[glacial wind]

Because top and bottom change measurements constantly you can’t get consistent accuracy on those

You won’t get any ec style switch that’s super accurate

[uncut shard]

ah

ok that's good to know

[glacial wind]

They’re fine for just general use though, but I wouldn’t use it for osu/gd for example

[uncut shard]

looks like i'll be getting the UFOs then

[sweet oak]

I’m still using my herz but I’d be interested in trying something new

[tulip rapids]

wait for diamonds and become diamond deer

[chilly mural]

Wuque diamond time

[sweet oak]

Diamonds? 👀

[tulip rapids]

unlock your true potential

[sweet oak]

What’s their specs

[tulip rapids]

diamond crunch

[sacred elm]

^ yea honestly this, if $2/pc price is fine for you, wait for diamonds, they seem very promising

[tropic urchin]

PC crunchy

[sweet oak]

Heaven

[glacial wind]

Honestly the way for diamonds may be to get zoom64 acrylic + diamonds

[chilly mural]

if it sound and feel solid, I might get it for a really solid 60hev2 build

[tropic urchin]

45g bottom out my beloved

🌹

Took these bozos long enough

[sweet oak]

Might get those then when they drop

[glacial wind]

If diamonds are like flux pricing with bundle, it may be that you get diamonds for half off with the zoom, then you’re barely paying anything for the case

[sweet oak]

Need a full 80he of diamonds

[chilly mural]

even better if you planned to get zoom at the same time

[little glen]

One more case to put on my stack of cases

[young viper]

I love my priorities rn, either order a optimum case or other myself a sleeping pad for backpacking lol

[uncut shard]

do the raptors v2s and wuque require stem spacers to work well?

[chilly mural]

optimum, human aren't designed to sleep on a sleeping pad.

A couple of leaves and a fire is all you need

[sly palm]

[marsh knoll]

how long a switch such as ufo can remain well lubed under normal use?

normal use = 8 hours work

and some gaming which probably means wasd is getting cooked more

[deft jolt]

I forgot about these

they aren't that special apart from specs wise

it's just better than the other fluxes

[young viper]

They're a 3 piece housing design with a hole in the magnet as well, it's definitely a change

[tulip rapids]

its okay to speak your mind Gateron wont smite you

[tropic urchin]

Nah Mia always watching gotta be on your best behavior

Or no mo free samples

[urban ingot]

Optimum case.

[gloomy quarry]

Anybody have a solution for the split spacebar? I didn't think it through but turns out I HATE the little center split space bar and want to find a key that fits over the left and center switches at the same time

[sly palm]

wooting has a 30 day return, if you don't like it you can just send it back no?

and get the og split instead

[uneven cradle]

Probably the best option if you're not a fan https://help.wooting.io/article/84-30-day-no-hassle-return-policy

[gloomy quarry]

I don't see an option for a 2 way split space bar, also their website says I'm going to be charged for a return label which I'd rather avoid because that's just throwing money away

[calm pulsar]

there's either 1 piece spacebar or 3 piece split

having 1 key that would fit all 3 switches might work but will probably feel weird and not as good as a proper spacebar

[gloomy quarry]

Oh, I mean I want the split for a few different reasons, I just don't like the little one in the middle and was hoping someone knew of some key to cover the left and center

[calm pulsar]

then you might need an even more custom key that would fit 2 pieces of the split

[sly palm]

don't think there is one, you might make a custom one tho

[ionic breach]

might be too hard

doubt the mold exist

its like 4 holes

[gloomy quarry]

Hmm, might have to look into making a super custom one then 😭

[uneven cradle]

Haven't seen anyone do it and it's definitely not something you can buy

[calm pulsar]

also it would be problematic cause one key has a stabilizer while the other don't

[ionic breach]

wait i mean, u technically dont need to fit all 4 holes right?

still might be impossible tho

[gloomy quarry]

Technically no

I found a key that can fit both left and center but leaves a huge gap on the left side

I don't remember the size but might check it later when I get home again

[trail bane]

Gn

[honest sparrow]

hey guys, for those who own the gt80, do you do any modding to it to make it sound better? Foam?

[silent wadi]

its all prefrence, but for any case foam will make it sound different

[honest sparrow]

yeah, different but not necessary better

but is there a general consensus?

[silent wadi]

i mean it depends on the sound you are looking for

it makes it sound deeper for sure

[calm pulsar]

I didnt do anything but maybe there's a way to try force break on it

[honest sparrow]

I believe its sounds a bit metallic tbh

[silent wadi]

foam?

[sweet oak]

Gotta add tortilla chips in it

[honest sparrow]

without foam

[silent wadi]

it might be a bit hollow or pingy

[honest sparrow]

@silent wadi Yep

[calm pulsar]

that goes without saying

[silent wadi]

yeah then add foam

[honest sparrow]

I believe it might sound better with foam, but I dont have it yet. I will get in on mondya cause holidays here

[silent wadi]

ive been waiting like a month and a half for my gt80

im gonna get a wife and kids before it comes

[honest sparrow]

how?

[silent wadi]

idek man fedex sucks

[young viper]

Fedex is the worst shipping service and I'll stand by that lol

[honest sparrow]

in my country is usually 3 days

with DHL

but I catched the holiday this time

[silent wadi]

dont make me jealous

[honest sparrow]

and yeah, fedex was great some years ago, at least in my country

they were one of the top companies in spain

but now they are marginal, and shit

[midnight rampart]

[lyric nimbus]

if you love it the way it is you don't need it

[sly palm]

If you like it, why change it

I agree with 🐱 🍞

[midnight rampart]

i just would just like to mod a keyboard for the first time, just dont know what would make it better

[lyric nimbus]

tenz edition is already pretty decently built

[midnight rampart]

fair enough, thank you

[lyric nimbus]

modded tikkens generally quite good
fr4 good plate material
you could probably get a nicer case but ig its fine

[midnight rampart]

yeah if id change the case would a zinc case be good?

[lyric nimbus]

still mostly preference though

[sly palm]

You can look at some aftermarket cases too

Like the GT80

[midnight rampart]

oh yeah this one looks really nice, imma look into it, thank you!

[ionic breach]

@glacial wind

hard to pass

210 usd and i dont have to pay for shipping from US to Asia

[lyric nimbus]

@glacial wind can i get a loudness comparison between og fluxes and owlabs

[tulip rapids]

both loud

[deft jolt]

haha it's just what I think about the diamonds when I tried them

triple housing is interesting but in person it's just better than the other fluxes

but it's not mind blowing

[fluid ravine]

Does it sound fuller like how they said it would?

[silent wadi]

The logistics provider informed us that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) selected this batch (59 pieces) for inspection, and unfortunately, the timing is beyond our control. We’ve been in close contact with the carrier to push for updates.

im never getting this package bro

but ig customs was to blame after all

[deft jolt]

yes

its nice

my favourite flux now ig

[wispy wharf]

Are fluxes more stable than tikkens?

[deft jolt]

stable in what sense

[wispy wharf]

Wobble

[deft jolt]

as in little physical wobble

both about the same

[wispy wharf]

Damn

[deft jolt]

i guess choose based on what sound and feel u like

both are nice choices except some issues with flux for some people including me

[wispy wharf]

I hope I didn't waste my money on these flux dc

[deft jolt]

u should be fine

no worry

[cloud crane]

POK stem HE when

[wispy wharf]

I'll see if I like them better despite the shorter travel

[fluid ravine]

Shi I'll look forward to it then

Idk if I should do a review on my wooting or venom

Gotta also ask for confirmation if I can borrow my friends DSLR for recording

[deft jolt]

i guess wait for other people to review them first

i was busy so i didnt test enough haha

[deft jolt]

ooh which dslr

[fluid ravine]

I was invited to the WS diamond HE early review test thing

[deft jolt]

oh u were

nice nice

[fluid ravine]

I forgot ngl

[deft jolt]

so u have them now?

[fluid ravine]

Nah

They said they will ship out earlier april

[silent wadi]

omg thockson so special he gets early access

[deft jolt]

oh okay

cos most people have theirs already

since early march i think

[fluid ravine]

Thockfather said they will be shipping a pack of 8 for testing

Wish could test a full board but will make it work ig

[deft jolt]

my TTC Horse pic

[deft jolt]

they gave so little but i understand since its hand made for beta versiob

and not mass produced

[cloud crane]

Do it on vella 🗣️ 🔥

[fluid ravine]

I see

[fluid ravine]

Sure

[lyric nimbus]

how are they sounding like

are they brighter or deeper

[deft jolt]

i would say its like ufo but abit brighter and lower volume

[lyric nimbus]

compare them to like

ws fluxes

[deft jolt]

idk how to compare that way, cos its better than the others

[lyric nimbus]

huh ok

[deft jolt]

everything i didnt like about each flux

isnt present

[lyric nimbus]

how much will they cost

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-cat-banana-hungry-void-cat-gif-16626119171143575104

depending on how much they cost i might throw them into my wooting

[young viper]

A bunch of us who signed the forum do lmao. I know me, thockson, embolia, trips, shafie, lander, and a few others are getting them soon

[lyric nimbus]

if the diamonds don't cost like

$150+ to fill my 2he

[sly palm]

$2 probably per piece

[lyric nimbus]

i might consider it

[deft jolt]

u defo can hear the magnet abit

[lyric nimbus]

nooooooooo

[lyric nimbus]

what problems do u have with og fluxes

[deft jolt]

idk if its chatter

but its not that bad

[lyric nimbus]

oh no im talking the

price

[deft jolt]

meme i got it too

[lyric nimbus]

i want it to

[young viper]

Oh fire

[lyric nimbus]

fill my 2he cb edition

[young viper]

Just get kois

https://tenor.com/view/fish-eating-fish-eating-from-spoon-feeding-fish-fish-food-yngqis-gif-20301545

[deft jolt]

i got it like a month ago

[sly palm]

I mean cat like fihh so why not getting some koi fihhes

[deft jolt]

ohh then idk lmao

[young viper]

Would you happen to have a sound test of the diamond?

[deft jolt]

nope also cos they gave so few

[lyric nimbus]

i was thinking of like

[young viper]

Fair enough

[lyric nimbus]

i want a switch that's sharp but more fuller than owlabs

[young viper]

Koi

[lyric nimbus]

i don't want dcfs because i feel like they will

blunt out my kb

[cloud crane]

Is it time to make the cat bread switch 👀

[young viper]

Get kois and make a cat bread limited edition diffuser for them lol

[deft jolt]

as in the pink switch?

[cloud crane]

Oh like what HMX Toast did 👀

[young viper]

Yerp

[deft jolt]

actually in my build the diamond r similar to horse

but there are differences for sure

[young viper]

I feel like that would actually be doable for like personal projects

[deft jolt]

in between horse and ufo ig is a better explanation

also theres 2 diff diamond switch

[young viper]

There is?

[cloud crane]

Cullinan and something heart

?

[deft jolt]

yes

[young viper]

Ah I see

[deft jolt]

theres a white and a blue one

but the specs r diff i think

cullian and something diamond i forgot

[deft jolt]

i need to take photos and do a writeup on both diamonds this weekend

[young viper]

Damn I didn't realize UFOs were still surprisingly cheap

[lyric nimbus]

mm

my backspace still sounds a little weird

[young viper]

74 for 65. Better than 120 or whatever it was before

[sly palm]

Lubed it?

[lyric nimbus]

lemme inject some loob

[young viper]

I need to fix my spacebar

[sly palm]

As long as you don't have a mouse click like @robust siren had you are fine

[young viper]

😭

[lyric nimbus]

it might be this tbh @sly palm

hole directly beneath

it sounds a little hollow

[young viper]

That might be it

[lyric nimbus]

how should i fix this

[sly palm]

[young viper]

Damn gotta redesign the whole case

[young viper]

Standoff hole?

[lyric nimbus]

it's for the cable to run through

if i didn't make the hole that big the connection would've been like

horrible to make

maybe i run a more muted switch like dcfs for the backspace

[young viper]

The only real way to fix it would be to fill in the hole as much as possible with a similar material to the surrounding, but I think since the hole is placed where it's at, it's going to always sound a bit different

[lyric nimbus]

ya think this might help

regular ws fluxes for everything else
heavy switch for cerakey
dcfs for backspace

[sly palm]

Or just never use your backspace ever again

[fluid ravine]

@glacial wind I finally got the old battery out of my dslr

Got it working now

[lyric nimbus]

i mean honestly i dont mind how it sounds

\\

[sly palm]

Well, most important thing is you being happy

[lyric nimbus]

i mean like

u have to somewhat pay attention to notice it

but i think i fix this issue by chucking a deeper switch in it

[deft jolt]

okay apparently the issue with the top housing popping out might be because its hand made

and not the final one

so we will see

[glacial wind]

They both really loud lol

Flux are sharper though. You have to really love sharp loud clack to like og flux

[glacial wind]

Honestly not bad. The wandrd bags are some of the nicest looking backpack imo

I like my peak design but it’s a bit fat and not as sleek as the wandrd bags

If it wasn’t so pricy I’d swap my current peak design for a wandrd prvke 15 or 21

[lyric nimbus]

i mean like

cerakeys + pc case makes the sound like

blunter no

[young viper]

Should

[glacial wind]

It’s all relative. It’s not going to turn a sharp sound not sharp

It blunts everything but it’s still way sharper than an alternative that isn’t sharp

[lyric nimbus]

or maybe i just wait for diamonds

[regal patio]

Maybe try the omnitype heron switches

Sno said they could replace the TI's on the list

[lyric nimbus]

nah i want something relatively clacky for feedback

[regal patio]

Make custom switches

[lyric nimbus]

noooo...

[regal patio]

Cat Bread Edition

[lyric nimbus]

or maybe i just stick with owlabs

[glacial wind]

if you want owlab similar sound but more stable there's the kailh ice creams

sound test is in database, it's loud and clacky

[lyric nimbus]

im looking for like

something more full-sounding

[regal patio]

Koi's

https://tenor.com/view/fish-eating-fish-eating-from-spoon-feeding-fish-fish-food-yngqis-gif-20301545

[glacial wind]

Honestly ufo are quite nice sound wise. Just a bit heavy due to the friction/tight fit and annoyingly a pain to lube

[young viper]

koi

[glacial wind]

Koi would be bad for cat bread

Pa12 would make it less full if that’s the goal

And the non pa12 version is just ur ice

[deft jolt]

I'm getting more diamond switches

and I got some astrolink and ags radiant

[paper bloom]

Yo

[sacred elm]

If you care about stability, then you didn't. They have less wobble than Tikkens and it's not a small difference

[paper bloom]

Nah it isnt a waste

Lowk its a banger

[glacial wind]

yeah i'm not sure why soy said they have the same wobble. They definitely don't

[paper bloom]

has anyone tested the diamond switches yet?

[glacial wind]

i like tikkens as a basic stock config switch, but they're definitely not the same wobble as flux

[glacial wind]

for a couple months now yeah

[paper bloom]

Is it any good and how is it holding up?

[glacial wind]

they're good

like an improved flux, with sound in between ufo and ttc horse roughly speaking

[paper bloom]

O shit nice stability remains the same as compared to Tikkens and DC's right?

[glacial wind]

well i'm not sure why you mentioned tikkens/dc as examples

are you meaning in between those or ?

[paper bloom]

yea like the comparison

mb

[glacial wind]

those are 2 totally different switches

so i'm not sure which you mean to compare to

[paper bloom]

O the diamonds to DC's

[glacial wind]

they're improved flux basically

[paper bloom]

👍 Thanks man

[reef sparrow]

guys if i put on two-three layers of painters tape on my pcb do i still have to stick the pet film back

[sacred elm]

no

[reef sparrow]

ty

[bronze flare]

where can u buy the diamond switches

[sacred elm]

you can't yet

[glacial wind]

technically if you fly to china maybe

[paper bloom]

TIME TO GO TO SHENZHEN

[broken notch]

Wooting Shenzhen adventure time?!

[fallen pecan]

Gateron Jade Dragon on the upcoming JamesDonkey (Keychron) gpu-keyboard-hybrid-thing

[earnest adder]

Does anyone know how I can stop a spacebar popping out of stabs on the other side of where a press?

[broken notch]

I think this is because of stabs, no?

Mine doesn't do that

[wispy wharf]

Might be a loose cap?

[sacred elm]

Put small piece of plastic wrap on stabilizer stems

[earnest adder]

Like cling film?

[sacred elm]

yes

[earnest adder]

Let me use another space bar and see if the issues persist,

But I think it's probably just a tolerance issue

[humble surge]

stabs

[earnest adder]

It's the spacebar, tried another spacebar on the kerb and it was fine

[wispy wharf]

Are the knight v4 or studio adaptive stabs as stable as the typeplus stabs or is there more wobble?

[earnest adder]

Tried dodgy spacebar on another keeb and it was doing the same thing

[earnest adder]

Thanks much better now

[frail hemlock]

[regal patio]

The does the jade dragon have a similar stem structure to the keytok nova?

I mean the small piece of the stem that holds the magnet

[fallen pecan]

quite a few switches with the same structure (jade ultra, jade spark, all the unionwell variants)

nova is the only one with both pa12 top and bottom

[regal patio]

So this switch is basically a gateron jade ultra recolor?

[regal patio]

Idk why the gateron milky yellow he is rated lower than the jade pro

Despite being a recolor

[fallen pecan]

basically

[regal patio]

Also are the jerrzi he switches any good?

[fallen pecan]

nah skip em

[regal patio]

They have like 3 of them

[tropic urchin]

Bc he’s smoking the good shit, I want some tbh. Holy delusional final boss

[gloomy quarry]

hey guys i got a question that you all may have the answer to

trying to get the non-split version of the 60hev2 after deciding i didnt like the split, but its out of stock. however, if i buy each piece individually, its in stock. will i be missing naything ordering each piece, or will i recieve a normally packaged kit?

[ionic breach]

the default keycaps is pbt

ur getting abs

but other than that its the same mostly

[glacial wind]

besides what drakon mentioned, you're getting everything if you order like that yes

minor assembly needed but with the v2 module it's literally just drop it into the case and done lol

[gloomy quarry]

i was going to take away the keycaps, just comparing. also wanted to make sure the aluminum case would come with the rubber insert as well

[glacial wind]

yes case comes with both silicone and foam options

[gloomy quarry]

do i have to select silicone or foam or do they just come together? just wanna make sure im good to go if i hit buy now

[sacred elm]

You don't need to select anything, case comes with both options

[gloomy quarry]

awesome, thank you guys

oh i should have asked before buying it, do i need to buy stabalizers or how does that work when buying it like this

[glacial wind]

nah the module comes basically pre-built already

just missing keycaps + switches + case

[gloomy quarry]

waow, coppying me

[glossy pagoda]

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery

[bronze flare]

where can i find reviews of the diamond switch

[chilly mural]

Wuque is about to send it to reviewer, maybe you'll see it in a week or so

some people here also getting it, so you can just lurk here and wait for their's opinion

[wispy wharf]

If they mog the DC I'll be upset since I just bought

[chilly mural]

I mean, that's a good thing.

[wispy wharf]

True but not for me lmao

[lyric nimbus]

wonder how long it'll take for diamonds to become like

ws flux cheap

i don't wanna pay $220+ for switches

[sacred elm]

they probably won't be as cheap. other flux switches are still expensive

except regular and deep clacky

[tropic urchin]

Gotta pray for that one employee to factory leak them

[chilly mural]

for the greater good. At least Wuque is improving unlike Lameron

[tropic urchin]

Most likely not happening

All part of wuque’s grand plan, give ppl ‘discounted’ stuff and then let them get hyped for new full priced product

💔

[hallow osprey]

Can someone help me choose between gravastar ufo and keytok nova ? mainly play valorant cs apex

[lyric nimbus]

preference

[urban ingot]

They're about the same for gaming. It comes down to how you care about sound. The only thing I will say the Nova edge out over the UFO is serviceability. You can't lube the UFO.

[hallow osprey]

you can lube them but thats a pain in the ass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE-QpR_Dps4

[sacred elm]

you'll probably damage half the switches, so not worth it

[prime orbit]

ufo are like aliens so if you get them ur aim will be out of this world

[urban ingot]

I have both and I prefer the Nova, but just because I like the sound when typing more.

[prime orbit]

Is it deeper or nah

[lyric nimbus]

ngl

i think i might just get diamonds

[urban ingot]

Not really deeper, more they're less loud clacky.

[bronze flare]

is it worth it to get the toronot keyboard man modding kit?

[urban ingot]

I can't make a direct one to one comparison between UFO and Nova, but I can get close if you want. I have 2 60 v2. One with UFO and one with Nova's in it. The problem of them not being one to one if the UFO are in a CF plate and the Nova are on the stock FR4 plate.

[glacial wind]

Pricing is slated to be same as flux, but they did say there would be options for more bundle pricing if you happen to be buying a case or other Wuque stuff

I wouldn’t count on any flux pricing shenanigans to happen as it was never meant to happen for flux, and diamonds are much more limited initial production

[urban ingot]

But both are using the same type (brand/material) of key caps. And I can put them both in the same case.

[lyric nimbus]

$2/switch still hurts so fucking much

[warm pilot]

ws is such A scam. Like the switches osund okay. But not worth the price

[urban ingot]

WS are cheap.

At least the Flux DC were for me.

[honest spear]

Will these Six Realms Silent make it to the top 3 ? Would you say they are quieter than the Peach Silent ?

[frail hemlock]

Why are ppl nowadays looking for sound instead feel?

[chilly mural]

those new mold cost a lot to make, at best maybe they'll reduce the price through discount in 3-6 months

[lyric nimbus]

keyboard asmr

but honestly i might not need ws diamonds at all

owlabs are already good enough and i might wait a little to fill my 2he

[urban ingot]

I can't tell a difference in feel between the Flux DC, the UFO and the Nova.

At that point, all I care about it sound when they feel the same.

[frail hemlock]

Typing should better than listening to another while typing

[lyric nimbus]

i also think that listening sound is different enough from typing sound tbh

[glacial wind]

you can open both sound tests and compare. I think six realms silent is really good yeah

[lyric nimbus]

my stance is that thock is very pleasing for asmr but not very good for typing

[glacial wind]

peach silent has some housing crunching sometimes, even though it's very quiet, so i prefer the six realms silent if i were to go with one

[lyric nimbus]

u don't get the feedback that something like clack can give you

[cloud crane]

Clack gang stay winning

[lyric nimbus]

you probably want some sort of clackiness as feedback for typing

[honest spear]

it's hard to tell 😅
Strangely, the six realms seems to handle the space bar more quietly and smooth

[frail hemlock]

I just don't prefer these ultralight switches, at least a medium weight spring is required for my satisfaction

[lyric nimbus]

i thought diamonds were like

50g

i like 50g force

[frail hemlock]

That's still light for my taste

[lyric nimbus]

any lower and it feels really weird

[frail hemlock]

So true

[fallen pecan]

seeing some really positive reviews from those who got the silent six realms

too bad they're a bit niche

[urban ingot]

50gf is perfect for me. 60gf+ causes me finger fatigue.

[honest spear]

I'm trying to find some reviews...

[glacial wind]

i do think the six realms silent is the best overall silent switch right now, not counting the tecsee/xvx silents that are rubber dome and their own category

[cloud crane]

Hear me out, kaidi ws flux 22mm 80g springs

[frail hemlock]

I may be too old to prefer heavier switches idk

[frail hemlock]

I didn't go that far, sadly...
Using 62.5g springs

[cloud crane]

27mm 62.5g springs 😳

[calm pulsar]

imagine the crunch

from the number of coils

[tulip rapids]

What switches are your daily drivers ttc horses?

[deft jolt]

unionwell polar ice shine and ttc horse

whichever i swap with

while waiting for more diamond

[night atlas]

Has anyone tried this yet?

[sacred elm]

I have their cf plate, it's good

[bright sparrow]

I did but I got the Pom plate for my ansi split

[night atlas]
