[little glen]

I just assume cause randoms ask about em all the time

[calm pulsar]

ttc kom pom

[little glen]

And say they bought them

[sacred elm]

yes

[glacial wind]

i think they're only there in certain storefronts now, iirc it was gone depending on region

because it has to sell through then it's gone

like in asia jades 70 pack is gone iirc

[sacred elm]

funny thing is that Wooting doesn't offer Jades with v2 module, but people still add them in the cart manually

[little glen]

That should get you banned from the store tbh

Automod

[sly palm]

why do people even get them

[sacred elm]

AI and old youtube videos

[sly palm]

AI

could have known that

[trail bane]

Bbbut chata gipiti says that Jade Pro is still the best switch

[glacial wind]

guys please, we're claude hipsters now

no more chatgpt

we need to fit in with the cool ai kids

[sly palm]

I need snomie mullet now

[calm pulsar]

I will now proceed to paste the entire chat to AI🤓

[sacred elm]

max thinking max model claude v10 told me jades were best

[glacial wind]

at least with claude it's going to make it a really pretty chart for me while it tells me jades are the best

[sly palm]

there was one guy saying AI said the wooting page is bad

[little glen]

Vibe coding my database and customer portal and leaking all of the company data in the process

[little glen]

But does it tell you you‘re smart and the best and a genius whever you say anything?

[glacial wind]

actually a lot less than chatgpt unfortunately, so not glazing enough to feed ego

[polar girder]

TYPE SHIII

[calm pulsar]

ummm wooting I analyzed your website with AI and it told me that "switch" and "switches" are not consistent terms please fix that, let me know if you need an AI prompt for this🤓

[sly palm]

that's what I mean

[glacial wind]

that guy was 100% just trying to ragebait then didn't know what to do when people were responding to him in a civil manner

[little glen]

That guy kept saying weird shit about me when i called him out until he got banned

[glacial wind]

then iirc didn't he end up going full troll mode trying to claim he was 40 years experience in IT or something like that, before he got timed out

[sacred elm]

yes

[sly palm]

oh lmao. I just dropped that thread after he kept saying shit

[little glen]

Oh that was in general

When the thread was closed by a mod he went to general to complain about unfair mod practices or whatever

I dont remember specifics

Doesnt matter anyway, it was the usual bs

[sacred elm]

he did the same thing couple of months ago

hope he's just a troll and he's not crazy

[little glen]

Nothing beats lysol guy

[sacred elm]

oh yeah

that guy created 6 alt accounts and got banned on all of them

[little glen]

I think dashi clocked his alt instantly just based on like speech patterns

[regal patio]

Make "jade" a automodded word

[little glen]

Some people have too much time on their hands (me, i do)

[regal patio]

But some spend it on modding keyboards

[little glen]

Ive been saying this for months

[regal patio]

Or wooting should set up a bot that tells everyone who mentioned gateron jades that they are outdated

[cyan lark]

I think not selling them anymore might be a superior first step

[regal patio]

I have jade pros that I bought over one year ago and they have a great bottom out sound

[cyan lark]

Oh maybe they don’t now 👀

[regal patio]

They have a horrible spring, wobble and chatter tho

[polar girder]

What’s most stable switch

👀

[sweet oak]

MangoHE

[calm pulsar]

apparently ufos

[sweet oak]

if only ufos didnt look like a pain to open up

[regal patio]

They are too stable sometimes

[sacred elm]

You just have to pick based on sound nowadays, most of those round and octagon stem switches have same stability

[polar girder]

What you mean

[polar girder]

What’s cleanest, deepest sounding stable switch then?

[sacred elm]

Deepest probably keytok nova and new wuque diamond cullinan

[cyan lark]

TTC KoM POM 👑

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-crown-gif-4713624

I use them and DCF, can’t keep up with the kids

[tropic urchin]

mods ban this guy for griefing

[sweet oak]

banning commencing

[calm pulsar]

you're late to the joke

[prime orbit]

Best stability still UFO?

[polar girder]

lol can’t get a straight answer out of you jokers

That’s what I came here to find out lol

[calm pulsar]

two twos my word broski wait for WS diamond cullian, they are gonna be the new cool kid switch I can't lie fam

[prime orbit]

It’s ufo if something hasn’t beaten it in the last month

[prime orbit]

What in the unc did I just read

[polar girder]

Right on

[polar girder]

Get ya eyes checked, bruv. Gotta read the words my man’s is spitting em, fam.

[prime orbit]

Unc and British

Holy bad take

[polar girder]

Innit?

[prime orbit]

Bottle of watta

[polar girder]

Cullinan btw

Get ya mind right

[cyan lark]

I’m sorry my AARP benefits don’t cover my much needed brain meds

[regal patio]

The new WS switches are probably the most stable switches

[calm pulsar]

Cillian Murhphy

[polar girder]

TWO DOLLARS AND TEN CENTS A SWITCH

DA FUQUUEEEE

[regal patio]

Yep

[prime orbit]

Diamonds? Or whatever it’s called

[regal patio]

Unless you live in china

[regal patio]

Yes

[prime orbit]

Ah

[polar girder]

I don’t

[prime orbit]

Did they come out yet? I thought it only got announced

[glacial wind]

They are not

New doesn’t mean more stable

[prime orbit]

Holy sno

[polar girder]

https://keybay.tech/products/ws-diamond-cullinan-he-switches

[prime orbit]

So still ufo then?

[glacial wind]

they’re good but physical stability wise ufo are still more stable

[prime orbit]

Bet

[polar girder]

THANK YOU

ufo generational upgrade from TTC KOM POM?

[cyan lark]

KoMs clear

[prime orbit]

No

Don’t listen

Turing is um

[calm pulsar]

I hear ufos are dry on lube and cant be opened tho

[prime orbit]

Interesting :)

[glacial wind]

You won’t get anything matching ufo stability because ufo chose to be slightly too tight tolerances

[polar girder]

I’ve also heard that

[glacial wind]

So it’s highly unlikely any other brands will choose to go that tight as well

[prime orbit]

Raptor v2 probably only thing close id assume

[polar girder]

I like it tight. But not too tight.

[calm pulsar]

yeah thaths the word on the street croski on my dead

[polar girder]

Gotta be careful.

[prime orbit]

Balright

[polar girder]

Don’t want too much friction

[cyan lark]

Please go into more detail

[glacial wind]

I think we’ve basically hit the rough range that all switches will be at unless there’s a big change in design or they choose to be too tight tolerances

[polar girder]

Well friction inhibits the stroke. Need a smooth glide IMO

🫦

[prime orbit]

What does too tight even do?

[glacial wind]

everything will just be same-ish as your typical a top, s bottom wobble

[polar girder]

Too much friction

Bad

[cyan lark]

But also not enough bad

[glacial wind]

Basically there’s a recommended tolerance of tightness that manufacturers normally follow

[prime orbit]

Can you even feel that tho?

[polar girder]

Yeah sometimes

[calm pulsar]

raptor v1 x lekker v1 flashbacks

[polar girder]

That’s what I’m saying

[cyan lark]

Can’t start a fire without some friction

[polar girder]

Once I notice it, it’s wraps

On my dead homies

Cuh

[glacial wind]

You can. It’s why ufo feels like lekker 60 type switches despite being 45-50 bottom

[prime orbit]

Oh so if you feel it then what’s the point of them?? Seems ass

[glacial wind]

Some people don’t mind the feeling of heavier switches

Personally I’m fine being one step less though and still having lighter presses

[prime orbit]

So you give up better feel for better stability. Interesting

Well now I don’t know what to get

[cyan lark]

Feel is in the finger of the beholder

[glacial wind]

UFO do sound very clean though

[trail bane]

Nah. In scratch only we believe

[glacial wind]

Cullinan sound real nice on cf plate

[polar girder]

🤢

[prime orbit]

Deep flux might be the move still

[polar girder]

Yeah I still need to try fr4 and cf at some point

I ain’t fucking with flux

But do you

[prime orbit]

I heard flux is top tier

So

Maybe even pink lotus too

[polar girder]

I have the new lekkers but no plate to swap out

[cyan lark]

DCF is a sidegrade from KoM POM

[polar girder]

Gateron jade pro enjoyer

[prime orbit]

Ew

[glacial wind]

Flux will be replaced by diamonds for the big spenders probably. But for rest diamonds too expensive I’d assume

[polar girder]

Lol

[prime orbit]

Don’t even type that to me

[sacred elm]

no...

[polar girder]

Ok mb king

[prime orbit]

I said assume

I’m not ever right

[calm pulsar]

you can't possibly mean Trantek Company King of Magnetic Polyoxymethylenes

[prime orbit]

They gonna be deep too?

[cyan lark]

You know that I do

Dry beasties

[glacial wind]

I posted examples. They’re literally the deepest switch I’ve tried next to keytoks

[prime orbit]

Oh shoot

How’s the wobble

[calm pulsar]

I respect that

[prime orbit]

Cuz if the stability good imma get those

[glacial wind]

Same as every good walled switch now.

[sacred elm]

There's slight friction when you press them off center, if you hate that then consider other options. There's barely any difference between stable switches nowadays

[prime orbit]

Have we plateaued for switches

[cyan lark]

Stability maxxers feasting indeed

[glacial wind]

this is the ultra deep config example #🔧│keyboard_modding message

as = keytok nova, df = diamond cullinan

[calm pulsar]

yeah but what about the soul

what is the most soulful switch

[polar girder]

Yeah damn so KOM POM are still on stop then

[cyan lark]

Raeds

[prime orbit]

Sounds peak

[polar girder]

Unless you’re some niche sound chaser

[cyan lark]

Rubber soul

[glacial wind]

of course yours won't be as deep as this example though because that's literally with cerakeys, but you can roughly see how they're very deep even next to keytok

[prime orbit]

Ye they are really deep though

[glacial wind]

the cullinan really give that deep reverb sound

especially when it echos back

[polar girder]

They’re out yet or no

[glacial wind]

only in china for another month

[prime orbit]

What’s the best plate. I used to use Pom but idk what’s good anymore

[glacial wind]

that's just personal preference

i use cf cause i want mine stiff

[polar girder]

I have POM on alu and really enjoy it

[humble surge]

They released on the 10th in China

Western release in May

[polar girder]

So sound tests exist. Got it. Ty

[prime orbit]

I guess being more specific uh I need one that sounds the deepest if thats a thing. That ig doesn’t move too much. And doesn’t break cuz I went thru 4 pc plates already

[polar girder]

I’d probably get PP then

More flexible than PC and deep sounding

[prime orbit]

bet

[south swallow]

In terms of cleaning lube from switches, is it better to use lower or higher % isopropyl alcohol? I have the Wooting x TTC KOM RGB (PC housing and POM stem). I have read using to high of a % could risk cracking the plastic?

[sacred elm]

Do you want to clean off the factory lube? If so, there's nothing to clean, they're as dry as the Sahara desert

[south swallow]

I did attempt to lube them but I did a shit job honestly, they are smooth mostly but there is some spring crunch/ping that I haven’t been able to mitigate and therefore overlubed them causing a mushy feel. I want to clean them as best as possible. I did chuck them in elbow grease, dish soap and warm water but I think iso might do a better job with swabs. I just don’t want to ruin the housings. I guess I could test a few as I have both 70% iso and 99% iso

[calm pulsar]

relying solely on soapy water without disassembling switches sounds like it would make things even worse in terms of mushiness

but disassembling ufos can lead to breaking them

oh wait

you said TTC

then it should be easy

[south swallow]

Oh no I disassembled all 63 switches, separated the top, bottom stem and spring all in different bowls. It did help but there is just an uneven tone due to thin layers of lube. They’re TTC KOM RGB. As far as I can tell using 70% ISO might be a safer bet

I love the look and sound of the ufos but the price and way they’re built puts me off

Love the TTC KOM but the springs are so bad in terms of ping/crunch I don’t even know what it is but I can hear them no matter what I do

Unless I’m just shite at lubing the springs which could be the case. I tried gpl 105 in a bag which wasn’t great because the springs got stuck within each other

[calm pulsar]

I see, well these switches are known to be stable, but the sound is kind of on hollow end, so there might be ping and such

lube can only help to a certain point

[south swallow]

Yeah they’re very stable and look lovely, but the sound of the spring on press and rebound annoys me so much. I was thinking of using the molekyte lube on the top and bottom and then either 105 or 205 on the rest of the spring

I ordered some of the switheskeys springs off AliExpress but either I’m tripping or some of them have different tolerances and either feel lighter or heavier so I just went back to stock springs, but they just sound soooo bad

[calm pulsar]

yeah the aliexpress springs are not good quality, I tried some once too

[calm pulsar]

not to discourage you but that might be doing too much
I would at most do some 105 bag lubing on the springs and if it doesnt help then its the switch's fault
you can ofc submerge the spring in lube but the noise will likely come back in time

[south swallow]

Probably wasted like £20-£25 on different weights just to have issues with them all

[sacred elm]

Those springs aren't even fully compatible with TTC

Different diameter

[south swallow]

That’s what I was thinking but I also thought maybe I’m just not doing enough and I’m thinking of just going over with it. Someone suggested I buy the flip koms as they have a better stock lube but it seems pointless when I’ll likely end up with the same issue. I was thinking of picking up some of the geon pingless springs but they’re only 15mm and it’s rather 20mm or something

[south swallow]

They worked no problem and sat pretty snug? They just felt horrible as some felt lighter/heavier

[calm pulsar]

TTC have their own unique diameter too, so geon springs will not even fit, not matter the length

[south swallow]

Hmm so I am kinda just stuck with them I suppose? I guess I’ll try re-lubing. I guess it’s also kind of my fault because by the time I disassemble them I just can’t be fucked. So I kinda slack with re-lubing. Maybe I’ll try and brush the springs individually with 105/205 and then donut dip them with something else

What frustrates me with them is that when I gave my 60HE+ to my girlfriend I lubed the stabs and the original TTC KOM RGB that I gave her with it and they still sound great. Yet my Wooting TTC KOM RGB I just can’t get right. Maybe it’s because I was doing it for her and not myself and I just slack lol

[calm pulsar]

I would use original springs and lube every part consistently, but dont make the process overly complicated to the point you get sick of it

I feel like even if the ali springs list the correct diameter, their lower quality/tolerances might lead to uneven feeling

[south swallow]

I think that might be my best bet. I usually try and spend a whole day doing it all so maybe I should do it over a course of a few days with a few hours here and there. I think the fact I aim to do it in one sitting which is usually like 6 hours just gets to me eventually…

[south swallow]

And yeah definitely, I ordered the 45gf, 55gf, 62gf and 70gf and they all felt uneven to an extent

Fell out the return window as well so that’s like £25 of shit springs just in my draw :P

[sacred elm]

Just make sure to not lube the magnet and the hole where it goes, or it will feel mushy

[calm pulsar]

yeah I used to build my own franken switch where every single part was from a different switch, so I had to disassemble 4 packs of switches, clean all of their parts, relube and put it together, so it can be very taxing lol

[calm pulsar]

real

[south swallow]

That’s why I want to clean them because my previous tries just ended up causing them to be mushy…

[south swallow]

Christ I think that would drive me insane 😭 I think I saw a post of someone franking their raptors and v2s here?

[sacred elm]

v1

[trail bane]

Gn

[south swallow]

Big thanks for this. I do intend to grab the T mount variant with keysnaps most likely given what I have learnt about them. I just need to work out if I can dremel the usb area or sand my cable to make it fit as I don’t really want to replace anything more than the case

[south swallow]

Why v1?

[calm pulsar]

I was doing a diff one, but raptor v1s + lekker v1s is a super old frankenswitch that was very tight, to the point that some people found it unusable

[sacred elm]

because you can't use v2 stems with raptor housing

[south swallow]

Was it as stable as it was tight? I assume that was the reason for people doing it?

[south swallow]

Okay that makes sense

[sacred elm]

They are tight but don't feel good

[calm pulsar]

yeah compared to stock lekker v1s

[south swallow]

I went back to using L45 v1s when I cleaned my switches last month and the difference is astounding

Came a long way from what we had then to now

[sleek estuary]

Hello guys 👋👋
I recently bought my wooting 60he v2 optimum, and I really love it but not my family (beceause there is no letter on the keycaps) is anyone here found the same keycaps set as the original but with letters or someone knows the exact color code of the keycaps so I can order it online from customs keycaps set… ?

[obsidian oasis]

hey guys. i was replacing a switch on my 80he and accidentally unscrewed the spacebar stabs. when i put them back and screwed them in, the spacebar started sticking literally. i tried loosening the screws and reassembling it carefully, but nothing helped - it still gets stuck and won't pop back up. does anyone know how to fix this?

[sacred elm]

Are you sure you installed it correctly? Can you take a picture of spacebar stabilizer

[obsidian oasis]

sorry for the bad quality

[ionic breach]

yea we cannot tell

[proper zinc]

I think he has mazai poop stuck here

[sacred elm]

The video is paused for me. I'd recommend unscrewing the plate and making sure the stabilizers are properly hooked in and sitting flush against the PCB

[wispy wharf]

i actually like the ocean heart sound better than cullinan i think

[lyric nimbus]

i think cullinan is too deep

[wispy wharf]

the ocean heart sounds deeper to me

i am not hearing a big enough difference from the deep clacky to justify the price

[young viper]

Is there a official cullinan sound test out yet?

[wispy wharf]

or ocean heart

[sly palm]

I just know about the one from sno

[young viper]

But it's not in the data base yet

[obsidian oasis]

It's ok?

[sacred elm]

Because he doesn't have full set yet, it's on the way

[sacred elm]

I can't watch the video, it's paused again

[robust siren]

both sides are supposed to be screwed in

[obsidian oasis]

the right side isn't screwed in but for some reason it's still tightly secured

[robust siren]

is the clip on the left broken?

[robust siren]

look at the bottom of this stabilizer and see if theres something that looks like a hook

[obsidian oasis]

thanks. i got it to clip in

[wispy wharf]

are clip ins really any less stable than screw ins? can you remove them without damaging them?

[fluid ravine]

Yes and yes

[wispy wharf]

thanks

[candid bramble]

Biggest txap fanboy back in like 2024-25

Legit refused to use anything else

[wispy wharf]

I tried to like them

Typeplus is my current favorite

[fluid ravine]

TX AP LP Clip ins were not it for me
idk why but no matter what i did it always become sluggish

but i feel like its just because of the wire thickness

or the stem mold

[candid bramble]

i never had any issue with them

it also lube very easily

well now we have more to pick i am not using txap anymore

[sly palm]

Gn

[robust siren]

im d1 typeplus hater

[cloud crane]

[candid bramble]

you with your clicky space bar

[hybrid cairn]

i heard they changed the jade maxes after all the people said they suck so did they fix em?

[robust siren]

still have no clue how stab housing unclipped itself

[glacial wind]

They released Jade air which solves the sticking issue, but at this stage there’s a lot of other switches that people would prefer even with the sticking issue fixed

[wispy wharf]

In typeplus??

The only stabs I want to try RN are the adaptive ones and only for the sound - apparently they have no bottom out sound?

[broken notch]

Adaptive? Which ones are those

I have a box of typeplus x yikb screwins ready for my new case when it arrives

[wispy wharf]

They have the plastic tongue spring thing that presses the wire to the top of the stem hole

The knight have too much friction for me

The full name is designer studio adaptive but that's too long

[broken notch]

Currently trying stock vs the above I mentioned

Lotsa bg noise atm unfortunately

[lilac inlet]

Are Duhuk Herz switches good

[regal patio]

Owlab recolor

[lilac inlet]

That's a yes then

[regal patio]

I would probably choose the omnitype heron switches over them

They sound similar but better

[lilac inlet]

Is it much better than the Akko AstroAim if you've ever even heard of them

[regal patio]

Depends on the sound you want

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

Check the sound tests for those

[lilac inlet]

they did not make one for the astroaim

[lilac inlet]

i like it a bit deeper and a bit less clacky but i cannot afford UFOs/ws flux for the sake of my life

same with keytok novas

[regal patio]

Deep Clacky Fluxes are cheap on ali

[lilac inlet]

Shipping cost (for me) is the exact same as the switch price by the way

[regal patio]

I prefer the sound of the nova's even over the new WS diamonds

[regal patio]

Oh ok

[glacial wind]

astroaim are really old not great switches

they aren't in the database because no one really was interested in them

[lilac inlet]

oooh alright thats why im getting the duhuk herz

compared to the astroaim what are the differences if you know any

[glacial wind]

i'd start more with what sound/things you're looking for than just picking switches you heard

#🪛│modding_faq message has an image and examples of the most popular picks right now

go to the sound database and there are video soundtests for all the switches, you can compare the sound profile

honestly probably no one here is going to have anything much to say about astroaim, they're a budget akko switch that only people who bought akko boards used mostly

[lilac inlet]

Yes I've heard of it but it's just that because the DB doesn't have the AstroAim I don't have a baseline to compare with

[lilac inlet]

I'm looking for a deeper sound which doesn't sound as clacky as most other HE switches

that won't break my bank if I bought 60 switches from them

[glacial wind]

none of the switches you mentioned match that profile unfortunately

astroaim included

deeper is very rare in HE

you'll have to settle for less deep option if you're on budget picks

tikkens are probably the deepest of the cheaper options, but that's a muted kind of tone which i'm not sure if you want or not

mmd c1 not bad either, although i wouldn't call it super deep either

[sacred elm]

Herz is the opposite of deep

[glacial wind]

six realms is an interesting new budget option from recent days. it's not super deep but it's not loud and clacky either

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_neHVcS5YaU these ones

they're probably one of the better overall budget switches right now

[lilac inlet]

I've researched about these but we don't have it available anywhere close here so shipping is gonna cost a lot

[lilac inlet]

Interesting

Between them and the Herz what are the main differences

[glacial wind]

herz are literally opposite of what you want

herz is loud and clacky

i don't know where you live though so i don't know what you have available to you

honestly if mmd c1 is available for you just get those and they're a fine budget pick. Or wait for herons to launch, but i have no idea when planned launch date for those are which could be awhile (and i don't know if they'd be available to your location)

[regal patio]

They are also loud and clacky

[glacial wind]

yeah but no options

they're on tight budget. There isn't a very deep sounding switch to pick from that is easily available to them

have to just pick from what is available to them and in their price range

[regal patio]

True

[regal patio]

They should buy the thocky clacky gateron jades

I can't use modded discord emoji's :((

[lilac inlet]

Gateron Jades?

[regal patio]

I'm joking

[icy helm]

Do you guys have any case recommendation for the wooting 60he v2 that has thick bezels and is friction fit compatible

[shadow jolt]

I have the ufo guys it is expensive but I am very happy with them. However I dont think that at the current price the upgrade is justified for people coming like me from tikken on the 60hv2

[sacred elm]

Optimum

[icy helm]

ehh its kinda too expensive for me

[sacred elm]

unfortunate

[icy helm]

any other options?

[shadow jolt]

Is the gt 60 compatible with 60he v2?

[sacred elm]

yes

[shadow jolt]

then this one I would say

[sacred elm]

it doesn't have thick bezels and isn't friction fit compatible

[shadow jolt]

Oh true

[sacred elm]

you need to use their plate and mounting

[trail bane]

m no?

[sacred elm]

yes

[shadow jolt]

Yeah better to buy only the 60he v2 module then if someone want the gt 60

[trail bane]

Yeah my bad

[sacred elm]

that's still messy, the module isn't secured in the case and can fall out of it

[urban ingot]

My v2 split in my Optimum case has been my go to lately. Finally got a CF plate for my v2 split.

[bronze flare]

hi please help my optimum case screw won’t come out I’ve tried everything I’m really stressed rn

I’m turning it left and right and nothings happening it won’t even come out

[sacred elm]

Put rubber band on the screw for better grip

Also why did you install that screw in the first place

[bronze flare]

I wanted to tray mount my kb

[urban ingot]

Are the threads on the screw even grabbing anything? You could try using a fork to pop it out if the threading isn't grabbing on.

[sacred elm]

tray mount without the module?

[bronze flare]

and I unscrewed everything

Then my con fem out

I got the rubber band what do u I do

[sacred elm]

place it over the screw head and try to unscrew with the screwdriver

[bronze flare]

Like this?

[bronze flare]

I don’t think so..

Idk I’m rlly stressing out rn

[urban ingot]

He stated turning it left and right isn't making the screw move which would lead me to believe it's not grabbing, or its cross threaded.

[bronze flare]

It’s making like a noise when I move it left or right

Like a squeaking noise

[urban ingot]

Can you feel it grinding?

[mild sage]

progenitor

[bronze flare]

Yeah kind of

[sacred elm]

That's not how you tray mount the keyboard. You installed those screws for no reason

[bronze flare]

what actually

oh shit dude

Do I need to buy a new case

[urban ingot]

Is it hard to turn left and right, or is it just free spinning?

[bronze flare]

Free spinning

[urban ingot]

Wedge something under the screw head like a pair of tweezers or fork tines and try to lift it up while unscrewing it.

Just be careful not to damage the metal

[oak jewel]

Don't quote me on this but I wouldn't be surprised if Optimum cases hit the outlet store at some point

So if you're okay with holding off for a bit, might be worth waiting for that

[broken notch]

I have no idea what this means

I am curious though

[wispy wharf]

I have a spare 60he lying around I am going to put my tikkens in and add some foam and asa caps to

[calm pulsar]

why are you tray mounting in the optimum in the first place? it's friction mount, so you can avoid using screws

threads might be ruined now but if you friction mount it might not matter

@sacred elm

https://tenor.com/view/mods-plinker98-lowtiergod-caption-meme-gif-12333197864584502943

maybe some sort of gasket clip things

[bronze flare]

Because I bought the modding kit from Toronto man and idk I just used his pork sandwich foam

I got the screw out by yanking it but it chipped the metal

How do I tray mount tho

I'm like rlly new to modding it took me awhile to switch the plates cus I was confused

[sacred elm]

Put the module in the case first and install 4 screws here

Tray mounting will not give you a better sound so not sure why are you doing it

Only thing I'd recommend using from his kit is the plate and maybe sticky poron foam

[pulsar egret]

does anyone know which switches I should buy my 80he with? I typically play like higher level osu!mania and Geometry Dash so I need something that's comfortable but fast, and I've kinda narrowed it down to these options but I don't really know where to go from here

Lekker switch - Linear45 (L45) v2
GEON Raw HE Switch Linear 50.0gf
Lekker switch - Linear60 (L60) v2

[broken notch]

All three of these I would not recommend

I'd straight up suggest Lekker Tikkens Medium

[pulsar egret]

how come?

ive heard good things about the lekker l60's and l45's

[broken notch]

They are the newest switches by wooting

The 60 and 45s just aren't as good

[pulsar egret]

just because it's new doesn't mean it would suit me better

[broken notch]

I mean, why ask then

[trail bane]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[broken notch]

I gave you my opinion. I own all four of these switches

[trail bane]

tikkens aren't that good for GD

[broken notch]

The 45s and 60s feel wobbly and outdated compared to the lekker tikken

[sacred elm]

source: trust me bro

[lyric nimbus]

l45s/l60s are created in a time where hall effect switches were still in its infancy

[broken notch]

I guess

[chilly mural]

What level on mania?

[lyric nimbus]

only about in the last year-ish have we gotten better 3rd party switches

[chilly mural]

Wrong

[pulsar egret]

I wanna get back to pushing gamma/delta level

im not very much of a fan of long switch travel distance

[sacred elm]

Tikkens are very good for osu because of 4mm. Almost every top player prefers 4mm over 3.5mm, so not sure why would it be bad for osu

[broken notch]

I can only speak from a stability perspective, lekker tikkens trump all three of the ones you mentioned

[chilly mural]

Then tikken would do very fine. Lekker v2 is fine if you use fixed actuation but for RT, go for tikken.

[broken notch]

Assuming you want to buy switches directly with your keyboard purchase

Sure woke chat up huh

Another point for the lekker tikkens :they are heavily discounted in a bundle afaik

[calm pulsar]

like others said full 4mm travel can be good for rhythm kinda games, but also tikkens specifically are nice because they have a closed bottom while still retaining 4mm travel from lekkers

for me I would know when I bottom out more clearly on tikkens compared to lekkers

[harsh dove]

Whipped out GMK Cosmos again

question is there a difference in typing between the PCR and FR4 on 80 he?

[regal patio]

I watched a video on YouTube that made me sad

The guy said that he wants a thocky HE keyboard

[sly palm]

no need for youtube video just look at job applications

[regal patio]

So he had chosen a CF plate with Gateron Milky Yellows HE

And said that they thock

[sly palm]

that's not making me sad.. that's making me feel pain in my stomach

[tropic urchin]

Average hipyo tech fan

[regal patio]

True

Also he still claims that WS dashes are the best HE switches

[tropic urchin]

Broski needs to dash himself to another job if he thinks they’re the best

[calm pulsar]

somebody go smoke that yute on my dead crodie

[regal patio]

It's not wrong to like a deep sounding keyboard

It's wrong to make a clacky and chattery sounding keyboard and claiming it's thock

[calm pulsar]

I think a lot of ppl mistake deep for quiet/dampened
in my mind a "deep" "thocky" build doesn't have to be quiet per se, but it should be low pitch sounding

[chilly mural]

Thock to me is like C3 in a piano key

[regal patio]

True

[chilly mural]

So 220hz in freq spectrum

[calm pulsar]

this note sounds like someone is calling you when you overslept but the phone is on silent mode😭

[glacial wind]

You just have to tune out weird takes on social media for keyboard stuff, otherwise it’s way too much to worry about lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah and also try to experience things yourself so you know what you want in reality as opposed to chasing some sound from a YT video

[glacial wind]

The amount of kids who actually believe in fake scan rates and sketchy latency numbers from very scuffed testing is very high on some platforms

End of the day you remember that it’s just how folks are at certain ages. Very impressionable and will tend to stan and group into whatever opinion they think is right, but end of the day they don’t represent that big of an amount of actual buyers/consumers

[tropic urchin]

We don’t experience things around these parts, we ask and ask and then ask some more why we can’t have owlabs recommended by ChatGPT

[glacial wind]

Like that recent fighting over that one razer tweet on x lol

[oak jewel]

link?

[chilly mural]

What fight?

[glacial wind]

I forgot who it is, just some guy in one of peripheral communities started some tweet stating razer is awful

And it’s just tons of people fighting in the comments lol

[oak jewel]

but is he wrong

[sacred elm]

Oh I saw that tweet

[trail bane]

Hmmm

[sacred elm]

Top 10 worst takes of all time

Just attention seeking

[tropic urchin]

If you’re buying something Razer and it’s not a mouse, something went wrong in the calculus

[calm pulsar]

the price seems nice

[wispy wharf]

apparently they make a good webcam but it's $400

[calm pulsar]

not silber tho

[glacial wind]

Wooting got brought up in some of the fights and it’s half people saying we’re great and half people saying we get ‘mogged’ by cheap Chinese boards in latency tests

[trail bane]

For prebuild- surely

[chilly mural]

Without latency test, what are Chinese boards?

[tropic urchin]

But do they use kois tho

[trail bane]

But ehhh

[glacial wind]

The thing about the latency tests that I always find funny is if those tests were accurate representations then why do all those ‘top’ boards end up losing on end to end latency

Somehow they put up the craziest best numbers on pure keyboard latency tests with random latency tester 5829, but the moment it’s used in a system they all get slow? Magic!

[trail bane]

Lowkey- insane deal
Do I need it- no?

[calm pulsar]

what matters most is reliable RT as opposed to 0.0000001 actuation and similar nonsense

[chilly mural]

Fun60 board be like

[calm pulsar]

do you need an hhkb tho

[glacial wind]

I can’t wait till my tmr blog and video are done

[calm pulsar]

another one of em rather

[trail bane]

indeed

[chilly mural]

Should advertise it on the switch database

[pulsar egret]

I could always just order both switches and see which I like best tbf

[glacial wind]

A lot of random commenters and peripheral commentators going to look very silly for their tmr statements when it’s explained why it’s all bs

[calm pulsar]

its best to try em yourself yea

[chilly mural]

Noo, squashy...

Then the other side is in denial saying its all wooting's plan to spread falsehood

[pulsar egret]

If I'm doing the pcb plate ill buy it with the tekkens then cause if I was doing the lekker 60s there'd be no point for me to buy the pcb plate

[glacial wind]

The weirdest claim of all in my research for this project is looking into latency/speed claims

TMR literally has nothing to do with latency or speed

I have no idea where the commentators who mentioned latency got that idea

[chilly mural]

Prop from latency comparison between tmr board and wooting, and seeing tmr being faster

[calm pulsar]

its not even like any human person can feel that latency improvement even if it was there lol

[pulsar egret]

idk if i would like the tekkens though cause idk how i feel abt the 4mm travel distance, not sure if thats like good for high end rhythm games

[glacial wind]

My research basically ended up with it being similar to saying my shoes are the reason my t shirt dries quickly when wet

There’s practically no relation between tmr/he sensor and latency that I could find lol

[sacred elm]

It's good, you have more control with 4mm travel distance in rhythm games

for other games it doesn't matter as much

[chilly mural]

From my personal experience, 4mm is still fine feel wise.

[pulsar egret]

more control is good i guess but i play mania and dense patterns kinda requires like less travel time

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-helldivers-2-hd2-osu-mania-mania-gif-11649632839521837797

[chilly mural]

Actually you can set the reset point to 3.5mm or lower and only have to lift 0.5mm to be able to press again instantly

[sly palm]

you can set an actuation point, and you listed 2 switches with 4mm travel before?

[pulsar egret]

i guess its good if i try something new

alright thank u friends

[calm pulsar]

I think I saw this being discussed but flux jade??

is it a recolor of fluxes?

[glacial wind]

Green version of flux switches. Pa11 material instead

[sacred elm]

It's like flux ocean whisper iirc

[glacial wind]

Pa12 is what keytok/flux ocean whispers/diamond cullinan use, so this should be close at pa11

[regal patio]

Geon raws are outdated

[pulsar egret]

bro i dont caaareee

i dont want tikkens

[regal patio]

Depends on what you deem deep

[regal patio]

There are better options

[pulsar egret]

like

[regal patio]

What sound you want

[pulsar egret]

i dont care for sound

[regal patio]

Geon raws are kinda wobbly

[pulsar egret]

it was either that or the l60 v2's

and i can literally just buy other switches too later on

[worldly urchin]

Definitely better than that in my opinion

[regal patio]

True

[young viper]

just got my tracking number for the diamonds

[regal patio]

Diamond invasion is coming

[young viper]

it should be here later in the week actually lol

[regal patio]

Which diamonds do you prefer

[young viper]

yessirr

I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, I imagine the fully clear one will just end up being a form of a koi rgb, but who knows

i asked about what a estimate in us pricing will be per switch and they haven't got back to me on that yet

[broken notch]

I'm expecting mine tomorrow already

[young viper]

Nice!

Do we know what to call the mystery switches they included?

[sacred elm]

Mine are still in Rozenburg

So next week most likely(fuck inpost)

[fluid ravine]

i have a feeling you'll get them first

[bronze flare]

What are these used for

[candid bramble]

The one with holes they are foam to put under the stab they soften the sound a bit

But I never used them

I have no idea if I am even right

[bronze flare]

ohhh alroight

[devout geyser]

can anyone tell me how i know which way to install tge switches or does it even matter?

[sly palm]

[sharp cedar]

ts looks so clean

[humble surge]

Frost case just got here. Silver UFOs and keycaps should be tomorrow or wednesday, all just in time for Diamonds 😄

[sharp cedar]

js ordered the silver ufos this morning🤑

[halcyon flax]

Is this foam from kdb to be kept instead of silicone or how does it work?

Keep it in between the silicone and the iso pc plate?

[wispy wharf]

That looks like ansi

And I don't see gasket tabs

But it is supposed to go between the PCB and plate instead of the silicone

(I assume this is for 80he)

[bronze flare]

THANK YOU

[halcyon flax]

Yes

[halcyon flax]

If it’s a replacement for silicone, then no need to buy

[trail bane]

This foam is specifically for Holy80 because it’s top mount case and you don’t need gasket tabs

[trail bane]

Basically yeah

[halcyon flax]

Damn

But why is there a gap in between the pc plate and pcb

[bleak jolt]

I finally have a beast x. much better

[trail bane]

Huh?

[halcyon flax]

Not the pcb

I will send a photo later

Between the pc plate and silicone pad, there is space

Like even some of my switches are in air lol

[lilac inlet]

Should I pair the WS Flux with O rings to make it less loud/clacky

[glacial wind]

i need to up my switch storage game it seems

i need to start storing switches inside other switches like this

[little glen]

That does not look very stackable

[glacial wind]

it's why you build a switch house to store your switch boxes

[fallen pecan]

You pair it with this for underglow

[glacial wind]

hopefully that switch is made from pa12

[fallen pecan]

plenty of colors too

[abstract island]

I have UFOs on both of these keys but Rshift is almost completely stable while the Spacebar wobbles

is this because of stabilizers?
