Fair enough

[magic forge]

Feels like no delay and sometimes I land a shot that I would of normally miss with a deagle

Yeah it's wild hahaha so fun

That's the word

The mouse is fun and performs great

[humble surge]

Thats all that matters

[magic forge]

UFOs are good too

[humble surge]

Finding what works for you

[magic forge]

But lmk you find a new switch I'd defs be keen to try

[humble surge]

I also have new UFOs coming, not sure why, could have just waited for Diamonds, but i wasn't confident those will be available anytime soon for a reasonable price

[magic forge]

Ahh

Ingot no idea and never keep up with this as much

[humble surge]

Lately i work alot so i don't keep up a whole lot either

love u bro thank u lots @glacial wind

[humble surge]

thats cool and all, but what gift? xD

[glacial wind]

i like that he thanked me for the tshirt recommendation instead of mark with the keyboard parts list

he knows the most important part of a keyboard setup is the matching t shirt

[chilly mural]

fr, can't do a selfie with the keeb without a matching look yourself

[cyan lark]

Wooting sliding into a lifestyle brand

[urban ingot]

I've literally bought them all. I'd say avoid this one. My favorite is the Gateron 3-in-1. It is manual. Makes pulling keycaps and switches super easy. The TX Puller is also good, but it comes with little caps that you need to pop out and swap out if depending on if you want to pull switches or keycaps. The TX Puller does come with 3 different length of "fins" to pull keycaps though, so you can pull multiple keycaps at once or more easily pull large keys.

[cloud crane]

@candid bramble metakeebs ec has full backspace option

[honest sparrow]

Ur ice ultra, do we likey?

[fallen pecan]

ice ultra is basically ol reliable

[dapper magnet]

ice ultra or ufo for new wooting build?

[honest sparrow]

I tried to do a tape mod instead of stock pet film

I think It kills a bit the highs but makes It sound thockier. The spacebar sound a lot better with the tape mod

[fallen pecan]

ye the ice ultra will work with most sound mods

just clean clean clean

[honest sparrow]

Also they are mega cool and rgb friendly

[fallen pecan]

just the stability takes a hit due to being regular stem

[honest sparrow]

I would go for the ultras, the UFOs are too expensive

[sacred elm]

If you want max stability, UFO

[dapper magnet]

owlab ti are bad compared to ufo and ice ultras correct? there’s better now

sorry i’m kinda outdated with switches

[sacred elm]

Owlab Ti and Ice Ultra are similar, just different pitch

Both have worse stability than UFO and other round/octagon stem switches

[honest sparrow]

This. Also I believe the mod tape makes the ice ultras sound more like the owlabs

[dapper magnet]

whats a mod tape?

[wispy wharf]

Do we have a release date for the flux diamond?

[honest sparrow]

Basically you remové the pet film and add layers of tape

[sacred elm]

in 3 days

[fallen pecan]

april 10th for china

[dapper magnet]

thank you!

[wispy wharf]

I hope they become affordable before too long

[honest sparrow]

It sounds thockier to me, if you want more creamier high pitched sound just keep the pet film

[honest sparrow]

$$$

[sacred elm]

I doubt

[dapper magnet]

were these the ice ultras r2?

[fallen pecan]

r2 are diff, higher pitch

not a fan of those

[candid bramble]

[cloud crane]

[sharp cedar]

Anyone got the gaeteron jade pros I wanna know if they’re worth the money

[trail bane]

no

[calm pulsar]

theyre decent but its an older switch so there are better switches now

[trail magnet]

what's considered the best overall switch, that also offers the best value for money?

[mental salmon]

From the image I can recommend both Tikkens and Owlab TIs

[trail magnet]

the UFO switches are horrendously expensive! ;o

[sacred elm]

This is old dear 🤓

[calm pulsar]

smh sno slackin

[trail magnet]

the xvx switches from that picture relate to their whisper switches?. they seem to have the highest rating from all the other switches. S and S+

[sacred elm]

Physically yeah, but they're not accurate because of dampening mechanism

None of the silent switches are

[glacial wind]

I also wouldn't pick solely based on stability ratings, because that doesn't cover feel or sound

something could be the worlds most stable switch but you hate how it feels and it sounds bad to you, so it wouldn't be a good pick

[trail magnet]

ah i see...thanks for the insight. i guess ill stick with my lekker tikken tenz switches for now. ive had the chance to try owlab ti and ice ultras r1 and r2....and tbh wasn't all that impressed....the differnece wasn't as big as i thought it would be

[sacred elm]

The difference won't be that big between those switches

[trail magnet]

i actually found that the keycaps had more effect of the overall typing feel than switches. i've had some pudding keycaps and PC jelly keycaps, the difference was huge. but in the end, i went back to the good old tenz keycaps. they just feel the best. i just WISH they were backlit. imo they are way too dim. the rgb doesn't get the chance to shine nearly as much

[regal patio]

Dye sub pbt keycaps won't have backlighting

[trail magnet]

i know, which is why im disappointed that they didn't go with regular backlit PBT double shot keycaps for the tenz collaboration. it really would have made RGB so much more impactful

[fallen pecan]

That's on tenz not wooting

He picked the spec himself

[trail magnet]

oh well. i just wish he decided to go with backlit pbt keycaps. and a zinc alloy option

whats the point of going with dye sub keycaps anyway? he could have made the exact same design on backlit PBT keycaps. unless im missing something?

[sly palm]

Because he doesn't like the RGB? He got his own preference

[fallen pecan]

Can't do red Japanese text on a wob with backlit

[sly palm]

Iirc there is even a video where he explained why he chose this exact things

[trail magnet]

ah i see....if its a matter of technicality then it makes sense i guess

[humble surge]

Jabber did you get a Wuque email yet?

[fallen pecan]

Nop

[humble surge]

sad

i wonder if they send Culinans or Oceans

[fallen pecan]

Pray for both

[trail magnet]

ive seen the videos, but its been a while. i dont remember if he mentioned why he chose non-shine through keycaps. but still, doesn't matter. its his collaboration and his decision. i just wish it went a bit different. i think that most people would have liked BACKLIT keycaps and a zinc alloy option

[humble surge]

heh

[jovial atlas]

okay so i just checked the prices w these links you sent me and i am absolutely not spending 300 euro for these accessories u sent uhh can u provide me with links from aliexpress or something?

[past pelican]

Hey everyone! Can anybody name the materials indicated with the red arrows?

[little glen]

bottom to top: foam, pcb (FR4), foam, plate (could be any material, PC, FR4, etc)

[lyric nimbus]

fr4
foam
fr4
foam

[lyric nimbus]

its green so i think its likely fr4

[regal patio]

Keysnap

Nvm

I got so excited for a second

[past pelican]

Great thank you! Is this achievable in the wooting 60hev2 module? Dont know much but all i see around the wooting is this semi-transparent plastic thing

[lyric nimbus]

thats called polycarbonate

it's a softer plate material

[sacred elm]

It's not pc

[lyric nimbus]

the semi-transparent plastic thing

is likely PC

no?

[sacred elm]

no

the thing around the module is silicone friction fit pad

[lyric nimbus]

oh that i thought they were talking about 60he+ plate

[sacred elm]

there's foam sandwich layer too

[lyric nimbus]

[sacred elm]

that's v2, not 60he+

[past pelican]

So the only thing technically missing from the wooting is the last foam layer at the bottom?

[sacred elm]

You have case foam, no?

[past pelican]

Yes. Left one though sounds so stiff and feels so robust. Its not the switches only. Im trying to figure out what it is

[lyric nimbus]

probably the plate

[past pelican]

Thats what I thought, or maybe the fact that the foam is like glued to the plates, idk.

[sacred elm]

What keyboard is the left one?

[past pelican]

akko mod68he. borrowed it from a friend to test the astrolinks

feels insanely good and im trying to apply the same to my wooting

[tropic urchin]

Do you feel any spring crunch on the astrolinks

[past pelican]

what do you mean?

[tropic urchin]

Something I’d watch out for since those are a recolor of the raptor V2s (also designed by HMX)

[past pelican]

I liked them to be honest, they feel smooth and almost zero wobble

[tropic urchin]

But the feeling comes and goes within every couple of days (mainly happened on WASD keys) where you’ll press and the bottom will feel wobblier than usual and it’ll have like a seesaw effect during use

It’s due to how tight the switch is since they’re trying to replicate boxstem bottom wobble in trad mx style switch

[sacred elm]

I'm not 100% sure but that seems to be an FR4 plate, so same as 60HE v2. The sound difference is probably because of the different mounting and sandwich material

[tropic urchin]

One of the few true S/S stability, but something to watch for if you have a couple of days with the board

[past pelican]

Yep just saw the website, its fr4 indeed. Can a foam pad be attached under the wooting? And remove ofc all case foams to fit

A poron one

[past pelican]

they are pretty stable also at the bottom I see

[sacred elm]

You can get similar sticky poron foam on torontokeyboardman or aliexpress and stick it to the back of the PCB instead of the preinstalled tape mod

[past pelican]

Will it fit with case foam or have to be removed then?

[tropic urchin]

You might feel it, you might not (might also just be a raptor v2 issue, but seems systemic). If you don’t notice it after a couple days using it, you should be fine

[sacred elm]

It should fit with the case foam, it's not that thick

[tropic urchin]

It’s not a constant issue but it will pop up every now and again (for me was every 2-3 days)

[sacred elm]

[empty tartan]

random question for you guys,

I just swapped out some of the keycaps on my two HE and I noticed it changed the sound profile quite a bit. do you guys have any thoughts or knowledge about modifying the keycaps to change the sound profile of the keyboard?

I was thinking you could maybe jam foam into the keycaps on the bottom side (where light isn't expected to shine through)

[past pelican]

I’m trying to basically diagnose the root of my space bar sound on the wooting. Sounds like two plastic pieces are hitting each other. It’s kinda audible in the video

[past pelican]

Thank you for the link. Foam only or Foam + White pom plate?

[sacred elm]

If you only want to try foam, then get only foam

[sacred elm]

Probably needs some lube

Preferably thicker one for stock stabilizers, 205g0 isn't really enough for stock

[past pelican]

you just made my day cause i ordered a lube syringe already but didn't know if it was the right thing to do

regarding the foam and white pom plate, I have no idea what the pom plate is and if it can be used on my wooting to ameliorate the sound

Will something like this work like toronto's foam?

[lyric nimbus]

think of it like a drum

[sacred elm]

I don't think that's sticky like the other one

[lyric nimbus]

different keycaps have different shapes, thicknesses, material differences, etc

which all ultimately change the sound of the kb

[empty tartan]

I take it that modifying or replacing the keycaps isn't a very popular route then? seems like everyone reaches for foam pads under the PCB first and foremost

[lyric nimbus]

keycaps is (mostly) aesthetic

[past pelican]

true, switches do change the sound, keycaps not so much. Out of what I tried, at least.

[lyric nimbus]

foamless builds

❤️

[empty tartan]

for the foam you guys use in your keyboards, do you know the relationship between the stiffness of the foam and the sound?

I happen to have the ability to possibly make my own foam pads, and I have the choice between EPP (softer) and EPS (stiffer) foam

[lyric nimbus]

i honestly don't know because im pretty sure everyone uses eva/poron

all i know is that foam mutes/makes the kb sound deeper

[empty tartan]

yeah I looked into it, and it seems people prefer softer foam

another thing, my spacebar sounds horrible

its an unmodified 2he and while most of the keys sound acceptible, the spacebar has this loud high-pitched clank to it that I really want to get rid of

[past pelican]

60hev2?

[lyric nimbus]

sounds like you need to lube the stabilizers

[empty tartan]

naurr, the 100% one

[empty tartan]

is that how you fixed yours?

[lyric nimbus]

this was before i fully modded my kb to oblivion but this is before i lubed stabs

this is after

[empty tartan]

I can still hear a sort of high pitched clank in both, but certainly not as bad in the second video

I think it might be the way the stabilizers are designed

[lyric nimbus]

oh yeah that also contributes to it

2he stabs are plate mounted compared to being pcb mounted

because it's an older model and people didn't know that as much

[empty tartan]

ahhh hence why it sounds totally different from the rest of the keyboard, that makes a lot of sense

[lyric nimbus]

it's also because the spacebar is like

big

it reverberates sound differently

btw if ur thinking about custom foam

wooting has a github file that contains the model for all of their keyboards for enthusiasts to work with

https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-two-he

[empty tartan]

oh thats baller tysm

[lyric nimbus]

that's how i got this working

[past pelican]

My wootings spacebar also sounds weird. Want to achieve the black keyboard spacebar sound

black one sounds to robust and heavy

[glacial wind]

different keyboards, it won't work like that

different keycap formula, different keyboard setup. You won't be able to get the same sounds

[past pelican]

will lubing the stabs and wire ameliorate it?

[glacial wind]

no

it'll remove any rattle if you have rattle, but it won't change your pitch much

[empty tartan]

custom case and foam? sounds amazing

[lyric nimbus]

i don't run foam

(besides plate foam but that's to counterbalance HE switches sounding a little hollow/clacky)

[past pelican]

better chances buying poron bottom foam to add under the module instead of tape?

[glacial wind]

you could get thicker spacebar (but then it won't match rest of your keyboard)

you already have foam under your module

are those the same switches as well?

[past pelican]

I mean remove the wooting tape and add another layer of poron foam

[lyric nimbus]

i think plate foam for the 2he is quite good

[glacial wind]

if you want, but it may/may not get your space bar sounding like the other one, especially if you have different switches

[marsh knoll]

How long can HE switches last before lubing starts to wear etc? Asking about UFOs. Under normal use with work and some gaming

[glacial wind]

you're basically in the land of 'none of us can tell you what to change' because we don't know how it'll affect your particular setup for one particular key

your only option is trial and error for it if you really need your spacebar to sound different

[past pelican]

Honestly drives me mad that my soundbar sounds like a toy, compared to the rest of the keyboard that sounds okay

[glacial wind]

have you tried removing the foam in the spacebar?

[past pelican]

Yes these were the astrolinks.

[past pelican]

is it glued?

[glacial wind]

yeah then the test to begin with is pointless honestly

you can't compare 2 different switches for spacebar sound

[lyric nimbus]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YGN8KSG this foam is pretty good to sandwich between the plate and the pcb for 2he

[glacial wind]

that alone is going to completely changing how your spacebar sounds

[lyric nimbus]

or you can manufacture it on your own too

[glacial wind]

it's sticky taped iirc, you can just grab it out of the spacebar

can always reinsert it if you prefer the sound with it

[past pelican]

oh noice, i didnt know that. tried the astrolinks on my wooting, spacebar sounds a bit better but still like a cheap toy :P. Basically every spacebar I tried on my wooting sounds bad. Thats why I wanted to lube the stabs or perhaps remove the tape and add an extra poron foam underneath

[glacial wind]

well the thing is your test is impossible right now

because you have 10-93798413908743987437890214398213093 different factors

if you want to compare the 2 you need to have both using the exact same keycap, the exact same switch

that's before we even get to the foam and pcb layering etc all being different

just the keycap alone is going to completely change the sound

[empty tartan]

ok try not to cringe but this is what i’m working with here

i don’t think lube is gonna fix this

[glacial wind]

that is definitely not a wooting

or really old wooting

[empty tartan]

its old

[glacial wind]

oh wait that's a 2he on lekker v1 i guess?

[empty tartan]

yep

[lyric nimbus]

lekker v1????

that's OLD OLD

[glacial wind]

yeah step 1 change the switches and your keyboard will already sound 20x better

[empty tartan]

lmfao gotcha

[glacial wind]

lekker v1 from those old days are a rattly mess

[lyric nimbus]

i thought u were running lekker v2s or something at the least

[glacial wind]

they were underlubed and huge tolerances, just not pleasant

[lyric nimbus]

personally recommend the lekker tikkens as a safe budget pick

[empty tartan]

it appears I understated the issue lol

[past pelican]

removing the foam under the spacebar actually tears it. Some foam is still stuck under the keycap, should i proceed?

[glacial wind]

yeah doesn't matter, you can always glue/tape it back in if you want

but i don't think foam/no foam is going to get you the sound you want though

[sacred elm]

Yea, swap switches and lube stabilizers

those stabs sound super dry

[empty tartan]

yeah its a little old

[past pelican]

lmao sounds cleaner without the foam

[glacial wind]

yeah it always sounds cleaner without foam. foam deepens the tone but makes it muddier

[past pelican]

foam was like reflecting the plasticity

exactly

[glacial wind]

most people prefer the tone change so that's why it comes with foam, but not everyone loves foam sound

[lyric nimbus]

foam is like

ketchup

[past pelican]

only thing left is elimate the sound of 2 plastic pieces hitting each other, when pressing the spacebar

[past pelican]

Thank you for the advice! 🙂

[glacial wind]

probably just lube the stab a little bit more if needed, or change stab

[lyric nimbus]

foam is good at being able to save poorly built keyboards and add to decent keyboards

and then for higher end and well-built kbs it's preference but they dont rlly need it

[empty tartan]

are there any consequences for switching out the v1s for the tikken switches that have 2mm more travel to them than the v1s?

[glacial wind]

huh?

[lyric nimbus]

wait wtf v1s have 2mm travel?????

[glacial wind]

tikkens are same as v1

they're both 4mm switches

[empty tartan]

whar

brain damage disregard the previous statement

[lyric nimbus]

are u thinking of

actuation

because that's controllable

but yeah you will see a massive difference when u go from lekker v1s -> tikkens

[empty tartan]

oh the tikkens have a "longer spring"

[tulip rapids]

[lyric nimbus]

i wanna be able to use this image soon

[tulip rapids]

[empty tartan]

real

that or a wooting numpad that matches an 80he or something

[lyric nimbus]

i think a 2he v2 will probably be just

screwin stabs + better case

[chilly mural]

you forgot yes no on the bottom left

[lyric nimbus]

Fuck.

[trail magnet]

hell yeah, a wooting two V2 would be sick. gasket mount+lekker tikkens+better foaming and stabilizers. take my money haha. but take your time, i recently bought a wooting 80he tenz edition. dont want to get the fomo so soon xD

happy to see you around sometimes tho!

[oak jewel]

Did you put any foam in there? Sounds hollow

[honest sparrow]

Yes, the Foam that comes with wooting case. Might be yout phone, doesnt sound hollow at all, more clacky/chattery

[oak jewel]

Don't think my gt80 came with foam but I remember using the foam from a frost case

[oak jewel]

Possible tbf

[honest sparrow]

Zinc case has thockier more muted, less high pitched sound profile

[ionic breach]

zinc is just much denser and makes the sound muted

[honest sparrow]

The gt80 has better diffuser, mount and looks great

[honest sparrow]

Exactly. Might be preference but I like the zinc more

[ionic breach]

that along side its massive feet

makes is thuddier in general

mostly preference yea

[honest sparrow]

Im sad I spent 150€ on it

I might be using the zinc one, sounds a lot cleaner to me, even if It kills the ur ice ultras sound profile a bit

[pastel warren]

I got a new dampening material for my 80he, should I remove the original dampening foam or just layer them?

[wispy wharf]

Do not layer

You will not be able to close the case

[pastel warren]

I see, thank you 🙂

[dawn hornet]

placed on order for my GT 80 on the end of march

im stupid and ordered the carrying case as well but thats on preorder

so now I gotta wait till end of april for it to be shipped

[sacred elm]

You can ask them to cancel the travel case and ship GT80 only

[sly palm]

end of april not that far away anymore

[wispy wharf]

I require an 80he case that provides for more damping on the bottom row

[sly palm]

Ever thought of designing your own case

[wispy wharf]

true enough

I am an engineer at a manufactuerer

We don't have access to casting but we do have hella cnc mills

[sly palm]

Oh neat, custom cases are real cool imo

[wispy wharf]

maybe i will design one with an integrated wrist rest

and it will have foam inside

the flux have a much more consistent sound than the lekkers key-to-key

maybe it has to do with the stability?

[trail bane]

[nimble phoenix]

if i have a wooting 60he+ with iso layout can i buy the schedule of wooting 60he v2 with layout ansi and replace in the case of the v1?

[sly palm]

You ask if you buy the ANSI module it will fit the 60He+ plastic case?

If so, yea it will fit

You will have to use the FR4 plate that comes with the module and tray mount instead of friction fit tho iirc

#🪛│modding_faq message

[wispy wharf]

ok all the fluxes are in and this thing is significantly thockier now

[nimble phoenix]

any difference with v2 module and the v1? or its the same but better in software

[sly palm]

Software same. Only difference is 8k instead of 1k polling

[nimble phoenix]

so you pay more for the v2 only for 8k polling

[nimble phoenix]

ohhh okok thanks

[sly palm]

The prebuilt has other switches etc, which makes a better out of the box experience like in the picture hopper shared . Also V2 gives you the option to order a split spacebar (note: you can't make a split module to og module)

[wispy wharf]

i think i like 30gf initial force way more than 40

[tulip rapids]

now you understand the hype

[nimble phoenix]

okay, because i bought the wooting almost a year ago, but i chose the wrong layout. I thought iso would be more comfortable, but then i stupidly bought ansi keycaps. I just wanted to understand if by getting the v2 module i could change everything, even though I see there are improvements in the case and other parts. So I’m wondering if it’s better to sell the 60HE+ and just buy the 60HE v2 directly.

[tulip rapids]

the case is also aluminum compared to the 60he+ having an abs case

also the plate is fr4 instead of steel plate

[sly palm]

If you want a different layout? sure. Wouldn't call it a big "upgrade" from the + to V2 tho

Module wise-

[wispy wharf]

keyboard is 50% switches, 35% stabilizers, 15% foams

[sly palm]

You forget Keycaps and case
Looks maxing

[nimble phoenix]

thats why im asking… its better to sell it and just buy the v2. But the only thing i hate with the v2 is the strap black and white… the older one was better 😔

[sly palm]

Black and white? Thought it would be black/white + yellow depending on case color

[wispy wharf]

for sound and feel

maybe left out 5% for keycaps

80he doesn't have enough case options

[sly palm]

Keycaps change sound and feel too
And case changes sound as well

[wispy wharf]

i like my xvx purple gradient caps they are pretty thick

the zinc case is already probably the best sounding metal case for my board

i want tungsten case

would cost $1000

because fuck working with tungsten

[sly palm]

2HE is even worse😭

[wispy wharf]

i want a good teal/seafoam keycap set and I saw one but it was sold out

[wispy wharf]

full size layout though... isn't that standard?

[sly palm]

There are literally no aftermarket cases for the 2HE

[wispy wharf]

what about that one guy who mods the 2he

[cloud crane]

No standard for full size that is popular like H60 and H87

[nimble phoenix]

i saw on the site rn and its black and yellow, idk where do i saw black and white but the problem isnt the color but the look of the strap.. the 60+ was so clean

[sly palm]

He made a custom case

I like the switch puller from wooting from the switch tool kit

[fallen pecan]

i should've grabbed it 😅

[tulip rapids]

i hate it

still better than the plastic one

[wispy wharf]

which one do you use goku?

[tulip rapids]

i got the default one and from the switch kit

[tulip rapids]

the switch puller broke pulling them out

[wispy wharf]

the metal one??

[tulip rapids]

geon raws on pc plate is a devious combo

[wispy wharf]

jesus christ

[tulip rapids]

then the default one killed three of my fluxes

[wispy wharf]

maybe i should get the wuque titanium one

[tulip rapids]

but thats because im impatient and didnt take the module out of the case

pc plate just horrid

[wispy wharf]

it flexes while trying to take switches out

[tulip rapids]

and i was too lazy to take the module out

[wispy wharf]

but wouldn't like pom or pp do the same thing?

[tulip rapids]

no idea never used those plates

but probably would

dont quote me on that

Raw is like cream soda but without the weird stem issues

I see

I still don't trust modern gat qc tho

[candid bramble]

That's true I think they should just stick to making mx style switches

But some of them are really good and their he switch kinda suck

[honest sparrow]

Hey guys, someone here Who owns this?

[sacred elm]

Not that but I have their FR4 plate

Their plates are good

[honest sparrow]

That one is the fr4 plate for the 80he

Wanted to ask how It changes the sound profile

[sacred elm]

Oh, right. I thought it was POM

[tropic urchin]

If you’re using pc plate default, FR4 gives it a more fuller bodied sound

And slightly stiffer experience

[honest sparrow]

Im mainly after stiffness

[tropic urchin]

FR4 is middle of the road stiffness

[honest sparrow]

And also hoping that It would improve soundwise

[tropic urchin]

Has some flex, but it’s not close to being as floppy as PC

[tropic urchin]

Yeah it would

PC plate masks everything

[candid bramble]

I do you have to install the stand off yourself

[sacred elm]

If you want stiffness get CF

[honest sparrow]

Yep but I want to mantain the White looks

[tropic urchin]

That too if you’re after stiffness CF is the final boss

[candid bramble]

I have their alu plate

[sacred elm]

Do they have silver CF?

[tropic urchin]

@honest sparrow try to find silver CF

That’s available

[honest sparrow]

What do you mean? Where do you thead them?

[kindred imp]

why avoid ?

[tropic urchin]

I think last vendor to have it without having to worry about whether it’s for plate mounted or PCB mounted was Toronto keyboardman

For silver CF

[honest sparrow]

Too late I already ordered the fr4, I Will give It a try

[tropic urchin]

It’s nice to have more than 1 plate to experiment with when you get bored

[candid bramble]

Like the screws

They give you a pack of screw with the plate

And you have to install them yourself

At least when I got it it's like that

[honest sparrow]

They thead on the pcb, no?

Thread*

[tropic urchin]

He’s saying the plate won’t have the standoffs already installed

[candid bramble]

^

[tropic urchin]

It’ll have little holes where they need to go

[candid bramble]

I don't know how to word it

[tropic urchin]

It’s very simple

[sacred elm]

@honest sparrow Check this video at 4:05 for reference how to install standoffs on your plate https://youtu.be/trONM_2ENNw

[honest sparrow]

Yep, I know that

[tropic urchin]

Bounce final boss

[honest sparrow]

Watching It rn

[tropic urchin]

Or lack thereof

[honest sparrow]

Anyone sound test for the fr4?

@tropic urchin so the cf versión has better acoustics?

[tropic urchin]

It’s really personal preference

FR4 is a more neutral sound/slightly deeper, CF is a lot brighter and significantly stiffer

Depends on how far deep you wanna venture

[honest sparrow]

Finished the video. My question was if you thread the plate to the pcb. The answer is yes. You put the standoffs on the new plate and thread them from the back of the ocb

[honest sparrow]

Thank you. Will look into it

I built the 80 on a gt80 yesterday and I got disappointed, so Im experimeting stuff so I can try to makw It sound better. Otherwise Ill go back to the zinc

[urban ingot]

It doesn’t work well for pulling switches or keycaps. You can’t adjust how much force to use for either. If you have a particularily tight switch, you may have to try to pull it multiple times to get it to come out, or change to using a basic manual switch puller to get the force needed to pull a switch. The keycap puller has a very loose tolerance and the keycaps fall out of it easily.

[honest sparrow]

@tropic urchin @sacred elm you guys meant this one no? https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-80he-modding-kit?srsltid=AfmBOop6rVKLhCn6p-AfAMHw3Lw9jndmNiG_WM-J9-j-0AmgCznEfOR9&variant=44513538179267

WoW, that a lot of stuff, unfortunately I live in eu

[urban ingot]

I have their FR4 plate on my 80HE and their CF plate on both of my 60 v2s.

[honest sparrow]

The cf silver is really coool

[urban ingot]

I went with the black CF plate.

[honest sparrow]

But I Guess im paying a lot of taxes if I order that

[urban ingot]

Don't know. I'm in the US. I had to pay $12 for shipping, but that was it other than the price of the item.

[honest sparrow]

It says 5 euros or so in shipping

[calm pulsar]

pretty sure this kit is a resell from aliexpress anyway

though maybe toronto man offers more plates

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008530097704.html

[honest sparrow]

wow, people doesnt look happy

3.3 rating

[tropic urchin]

The difference between zinc and GT80 isn’t crazy sound wise (gt80 is slightly brighter vs slightly deeper), but what you put into it is a lot more important than the case material itself (as long as it isn’t the PCR slop)

[tropic urchin]

You gotta be careful on Ali bc they you gotta buy the right one

[honest sparrow]

@tropic urchin if you go through my messages you will find two videos I put here yersterday

[tropic urchin]

Idk how I got mine to work bc it was wrong

[honest sparrow]

to me the gt80 sounds a lot worse, more clacky, chattery, and less clean, the zinc one sounds deeper, more muted and thocky

[tropic urchin]

I have both so I know how it goes, but the plate, gasket (poron vs silicone) and foam used in your board matters a lot more

[tropic urchin]

There’s your issue, chasing thock

[honest sparrow]

#🔧│keyboard_modding message this vs #🔧│keyboard_modding message

[tropic urchin]

It is doable

But you’re going to want poron case foam

And a deeper sounding switch

[honest sparrow]

not really chasing thock, I wasnt expecting it to sound a bit thocky, but I liked what I got, you can check the videos

[tropic urchin]

Poron case foam + FR4 and a deeper switch should get you close

[honest sparrow]

So I can have your opinion

[honest sparrow]

I have it tape modded and stock foam on both of them

[tropic urchin]

Not going to be able to give you much feedback at work right away, but I’ll take a look later

[tropic urchin]

EPDM won’t give you a deeper sound

Atleast for me it didn’t

TKBM has a different foam kit which includes poron gasket pad and poron case foam, but you should be able to find it elsewhere as well

Which I think is worthwhile, but might have better luck finding something on Ali

[honest sparrow]

will look into it

[tropic urchin]

What switches are you using

[honest sparrow]

To be honest I was really happy with how the zinc was, I just expected this one to sound better

[tropic urchin]

It was about a 5-10% sound difference for me

If you’re using PC plate I could see why you don’t like it

Would be a weird combo

[honest sparrow]

currently ur ice ultras, and I dont wanna change them. If you check the video you will see the zinc case even kills their sound profile a bit cause it cuts the highs

[honest sparrow]

its noticeable with the letter keys, not so much with the modifiers

also the spacebar suffers quite a bit

[honest sparrow]

lets see when I get the fr4, if it makes it less chattery I might be liking it

[urban ingot]

Did you use the case foam from the zinc case in the GT-80?

[honest sparrow]

yes. Is what I currently have available

the only thing I can find around here is polyfill or poron on amazonç

[uncut wolf]

Are there any 80HE modkit sellers that have ISO layout in stock?

Torontokeyboardman is out of stock and the ali sellers I've seen only sell ANSI afaik

[urban ingot]

I don't know. My 80HE got deeper when I switched to the GT-80. But I also had my FR4 plate and sandwich foam in before I made the switch from the Zinc case to the GT-80.

[uncut wolf]

sobbing

[honest sparrow]

have you checked my videos to give feedback?

hopefully the fr4 arrives next week and I can do further testing hehe

[urban ingot]

I did, but I have no feedback to give.

[honest sparrow]

@urban ingot not even which one do you like it better and why?

xD

[urban ingot]

I like the sound of the zinc better in your case.

[honest sparrow]

@urban ingot yeah, I totally agree xD

[urban ingot]

Maybe its just the keycaps you use and your switches. More plays into accoustics than just the plate, and foam used.

[honest sparrow]

am I crazy? its sounds a lot deeper. I agree, keycaps wont help in this particular case

[worldly marsh]

Is anyone aware of a case for a 60he that is like a drop alt low profile 60%, where the middle plate is also the whole top of the case? I have a low profile gh60 case from aliexpress right now that isn't great.

[honest sparrow]

are you the guy from reddit?

one guy modded his keeb to do a low profile wooting

[glossy pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/spoilers-pandorica-river-song-doctor-who-gif-18293417

[worldly marsh]

I havent posted on reddit, but what I have right now has awful gaps around included mid-late from the 60he module

I didnt have to do any mods really.

[honest sparrow]

ok. check reddit in case its helfpulf for you, one guy modded his and posted a few days ago

[worldly marsh]

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/s/yzd1gkC2kt is this the post you're referring too?

[honest sparrow]

yes, that guy!

@worldly marsh is it helfpul?

@urban ingot also, is there someone who tried to mod the light bar to make it diffuse light like the gt80?

[worldly marsh]

Its not really what I was looking for, but mr_akbars does give me some hope for an official version

[wispy wharf]

For me the zinc case + ali clone foam kit (stock tape mod) + flux DC is pretty thocky

[honest sparrow]

can you link the foam kit?

[wispy wharf]

For some reason the space bar always sounds weird for one reason or another

[glossy pagoda]

Space bars are huge and echo-y

[honest sparrow]

yeah, its kind of tricky on the gt80, what stabs are you running?

[wispy wharf]

Typeplus

I just found this on AliExpress:
Keebox Wooting80 Keyboard Foam Package Plate Foam Bottom Foam Switch Sheet For Wooting 80 Keyboard DIY Typing Sound Foam
https://a.aliexpress.com/_ms7p2C1

Forgive the unnecessary text using the app

[worldly marsh]

I was looking at stacked acrylic cases as well, it looks like the 60he mid plate has some nubs that keep the plastic mid plate from deviating too much, I wonder how hard it would be to replicate it.

[wispy wharf]

I don't wanna give up the stability and transparent feel of the typeplus

[honest sparrow]

@wispy wharf im currently using stocks cause they had improved a ton since last 80 board I got. I got a new one ansi version but I was running on my iso TX AP and I guess it kinda makes it sound less hollow

[wispy wharf]

You got a second 80 board?

TX AP are shit to me

[honest sparrow]

@wispy wharf a third actually

but I sold the ISO and I kept the ANSI and another ISO for my girlfriend. I currently own 4 wooting keebs and In total I might have had 7 boards

At this point they should made me gold member xD

[honest sparrow]

why?

[urban ingot]

I have the same number and types of keyboards as you. 2 80 HE and a 60 v2 regular and a split.

[honest sparrow]

What can we say? We like building stuff

hahah

[urban ingot]

One of my 80HE is just a TenZ in a GT-80 though.

[honest sparrow]

How many mice do you own?

[urban ingot]

I have 5 that work, but only actually use 2 of them. I don't swap them out regularly.

I have one I use for my desktop and one for my laptop.

[honest sparrow]

my fave used to be the 80HE but since I got the split 60 it is my fave. I got some akko astrolink on that one

[urban ingot]

6, I forgot about my HTPC.

[honest sparrow]

and mouse wise im in love with pulsar X2 crazylight Medium

I also have the superstrike and the viper v4 pro

but the Pulsar is something else...

[wispy wharf]

Why

[urban ingot]

I have the Viper V4 Pro on my desktop. I'm using the Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed on my laptop (because of its ungodly long battery life) for general use and casual gaming. I use my Mchose L7 Ultra on my HTPC.

The Mchose was my daily on my desktop.

I have no desire to buy the Logitech Superstrike. Any of them. The pulsar have interested me. But I'm not super into mice. I bought the V4 Pro just because the battery in my V3 Pro was turning to crap, otherwise I would have kept the V3 Pro.

I know you can buy batteries and replace them. But you can do the same thing with PS5 controllers. I don't care to spend time replacing batteries in things that don't excite me to mod, so I just buy new ones.

[honest sparrow]

For some of us its a hobby

[honest sparrow]

I tried the pulsar for the first time and I liked It a lot, so I got also the X2N crazy light and shapewise they are all better than everyrhing else I had

The downside is the battery Life, but Nothing crazy

[wispy wharf]

Why not other boards?

TX AP were too wobbly for me

[little glen]

I currently own 3 (4 if you count the uwu), one of them being a wooting one i bought in 2018 :)

[honest sparrow]

They shouldnt be wobbly at all...

They are thicker and have smaller tolerances

[little glen]

All my boards are iso

[honest sparrow]

Because software/performance wise/service/community/easy to find information about it

[kindred imp]

I see noted

[honest sparrow]

Many reasons to get wooting

[mossy phoenix]

Would anyone here happen to know which case this is? I love how it looks

I really want something clear like this

[honest sparrow]

its wooting's frosted case

it just has the volume knob (unreleased atm)

[chilly mural]

that's ghost, frost is whiter

[honest sparrow]

no, thats frost, ghost is grey, I have the ghost

[chilly mural]

it looks too gray, maybe in another angle it would be clear.

as to which

[honest sparrow]

ghost is way darker than that

[little glen]

That is ghost

[honest sparrow]

ghost is not as transparent

[little glen]

Close up vs far away

[sly palm]

Also side vs top

[chilly mural]

also lighting is different, the lighting is too strong on the first pic

[little glen]

I have a ghost i know what it looks like

[sly palm]

Looks like ghost to me

[honest sparrow]

thats too clear to be the ghost, at least on my monitor, anyway, op can go check both and decide which one he likes

[bleak jolt]

can someone send me the sound test link

[honest sparrow]

whaty sound test link?

[bleak jolt]

there is a link for all switches and their sound test\

[tulip rapids]

why no silver variant only white and black

@tropic urchin

look at these knobs bruv

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dance-catto-dace-dj-cat-gif-24258085

[chilly mural]

fire fire

but I'm more interested with the smol one

Assuming it's later, I can def collect enough to get woot module + knob

[tulip rapids]

yeah the donut one is coming in the summer apparently

but the smaller one is getting delayed

[sly palm]

August
Small knobby needing some more time so he can grow up

[ionic breach]

thats ghost

in like a very bright enviornment

it would have white keycaps if it was frost

[sly palm]

I pray for silver knobby

[tulip rapids]

i wonder how expensive it will be

[sly palm]

Me too
Can't really think of a price range.. either it's like $50 or like $10 or $5

[chilly mural]

I'm more wondering what sort of software have they cooked up

Since unless the OEM HE pcb step up their software, cloning the knob hardware would be useless for them

[tulip rapids]

$100 minimum

[calm pulsar]

I think def not 5-10, probably like 50 something

[sly palm]

I don't think they make a knob that expensive

[tulip rapids]

"well here at wooting-"

[lyric nimbus]

i dont think i want the knob tbh

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/path-of-exile-path-of-exile-2-poe2-poe-car-gif-8443132152470250298

[lyric nimbus]

thinking about it

i think it'll make my 2he look weirder

[sly palm]

Well I mean it's more complex than a switch, tho I don't really know what they will do with the price

[lyric nimbus]

i hope there is a crazy fucker out there/a member of the wooting team that shows us a 2he build with every switch being replaced with a knob

[sly palm]

If they send me free 2HE with knob I will do it

[chilly mural]

not impossible

You def will see some Chinese person do it

[sly palm]

[mossy phoenix]

Ah, not sure how I've only discovered this just now lol, thank you

[little glen]

Poe related gif

[mossy phoenix]

(And everyone else who answered)

[little glen]

Its not frost

[past pelican]

Hi everyone! Any idea if this is compatbile with the wooting 60hev2?

[devout geyser]

does anyone know if a assembly guide comes if i buy it unassembled ?

[sly palm]

Wooting makes a assembly guide for every board afaik

https://youtu.be/LNa5wuqiFVY 80HE assembly as an example

[devout geyser]

k thanks

is it the same as 60he v2?

[sly palm]

Nah 60HEv2 is even easier lol

https://youtu.be/DF6i5ozV5bY

[minor spindle]

lol

[lyric nimbus]

60he plates arent compatible with 60 v2s

i doubt it

[past pelican]

i think i saw somewhere that the ainsi ones are, but cant find it

[robust siren]

60he v2 already has an fr4 plate

[past pelican]

but if you mod it with toronto's mod kit, then the aluminium wooting case is no more compatbile, right?

knobs

I'd almost forgotten about that dream

[quick glade]

any recomended mods for 80he?

[regal patio]

What is the sound you want to achieve

[chilly mural]

what do you feel lacking about the keyboard?

[quick finch]

that left one looks really silver IRL

[regal patio]

HMX AGS radiant switches are basically better astrolinks

Still HMX mold tho

[past pelican]

Hard to find them. Astrolinks cost 0,7 per switch tho, not cheap. Pack of 90

[regal patio]

I think you could find them if you look hard enough

Kbdfans had them I think

[past pelican]

So these are better astrolinks? What makes them better?

[young viper]

Radiants are fragile af

[regal patio]

I think they are the newest HMX HE switch

[past pelican]

Risky. Also maybe the orange colour with interfere with rgb

[young viper]

It will just a bit, my pink housings on my kois interfere

[past pelican]

That’s what made me pass on the fluxes deep clackies

[oak jewel]

Which switches did you end up going for btw

[past pelican]

Maybe astrolinks Alex. Doing some more research but since I tried these and they are SO marbly, Super stable, no rgb discoloration idk… why not?

[sly palm]

You can't use top housing from koi rgbs for kois, right?

[oak jewel]

There is no way

[past pelican]

Most of the switches recommended here have like 30-40 EUR import duties. Like the keytok novas

[young viper]

Sadly no

[past pelican]

Can’t find them in Europe

[young viper]

Gravastar ufo? AliExpress

[oak jewel]

Pretty sure ufos are available in german and UK store

https://www.gravastar.com/products/gravastar-ufo-magnetic-switch-hall-effect-gaming-switches?_pos=1&_psq=UFO&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=47674703544565 65 pack of silver ufos

[past pelican]

UFOs will be total +14 compared to astrolinks but I find them a bit weird looking, maybe overhyped?

[oak jewel]

ships from germany

[past pelican]

The .de doesn’t have the grey. Only purple and with express shipping they will be here for around 70 EUR

[oak jewel]

Ah no I lied, the.de website doesn't have silver in stock

[past pelican]

This is from USA and cost around 105

Also I heard that these are on the quieter side no? The UFOs

[oak jewel]

Meh not by much

[past pelican]

U own them actually?

[oak jewel]

Typing on them as we speak

Wouldn't suggest them if I didn't try them

[past pelican]

Hmmm 60hev2?

[regal patio]

I would suggest the keytok nova's

But they are expensive

[sacred elm]

They're a bit loud and poppy

[past pelican]

DUD I can’t find them in EU pls

[past pelican]

I mean I am not astrolinks biased but it’s the only he switch I tried and I liked it. But on the other hand UFOs can be better in every aspect. German store has only the purple ones available, idk about discoloration and they look junevile

[tulip rapids]

The base? Cant wait to see more pics of it

[sacred elm]

If you use white RGB, I wouldn't recommend purple UFOs

[past pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/getting-up-done-im-out-viola-davis-im-done-gif-8003971

[past pelican]

I don’t know how th astrolinks blue colour doesn’t affect white when displayed

It’s not too bad tho. But yes I can see purple in there

[quick finch]

Ah no the base is white

[regal patio]

@past pelican if you want a HMX like switch the astrolinks then the ags radiants are your best bet

[past pelican]

Ok. Explain? They already said the orange colour will affect rgb. How are they better that astros? (Genuinely wondering)

[regal patio]

https://youtube.com/shorts/yLgwbii_edU

[regal patio]

From what I know they have an improved spring

And better factory lube

Ask sno he has tried them
