I just ordered 84 Cullinan and 10 Heart of the Ocean.

i want heart of the ocean...

#

Keybay

#

Torontokeyboardman has them too, for $1 more/switch. Which makes no sense as they're the same company. Like if you look at the contact information for each on their respective websites, they have the same address.

oh SHIT

i gotta finish grading this homework then

@glacial wind how are heart of the oceans compared to owlabs again

Not that expensive, I got 94 of them for $137 US.

All these toys to look forward to. I have a 3D printer coming today, a Zoom64 on the way, and hopefully the Diamonds in the next week.

That's good price for Diamonds, W keybay and torontokeyboardman

1.46 per diamond is less than I expected it would be by now baldd

I really hope the announcement on Thursday isn't a new board. I've spent too much money recently. And I know I'll buy a new board if one is announced.

I have been enjoying the lofi stream leading up to the announcement. I have an 11" multimedia headunit in my car with parking break bypass on it and a firestick hooked up to it. Been streaming the Youtube while I drive. The "video" isn't really distracting either. Not like if I was watching an actual video while driving.

Hello - a bit of a silly question but i am after some keycaps with translucent legends so that the RGB can shine through them. I would like the translucent legends as I tend to game late night with the light off so its difficult to see the keys unless the light is able to shine through them. This will be for my Wooting 80HE.

Also - i had a look at the switches link at #🪛│modding_faq and was looking into the silent switches. But none of the options mentioned seem to be a popular pick for RGB? Does this mean that the switches will block out the RGB on my keyboard or shine through less? I was interested in getting either a set of silent switches or maybe some deep creamy like switches that doesnt break the bank. But as mentioned in my first question, I do want the RGB to be able to shine through the keycaps well.

Hey ! Currently got the Wooting Two HE, using it for all purpose, gaming, work...etc
I apparently have the Lekker V1 switched, I've seen that there is a bunch of new switched that are out. I have a hard time tho understanding the differences and potential improvements over the ones I have. Could someone enlighten me ?

#

I am also planning on buying a new set of double-shot PBT keycaps since I need to change layout.

Hrm I assume keybay is reselling Chinese launch promo switches

#

Because they’re not technically launched in western side yet

#

So I assume that’s how they get the diamonds at that price

tall hollow
urban ingot
#

That's pretty shady if its true. Unless Torontokeyboardman/Keybay really is just a Canadian based Chinese reseller and the plates they sell are the same ones you can get from aliexpress, just rebranded.

wispy wharf
#

AliExpress has them same price as Toronto and keybay

#

But you have to buy 70 and 20

urban ingot
#

There's US based Chinese resellers. Well US companies that rebrand Chinese goods as their own.

I'm honestly devastated about the Poseidon

Hmm how would I go about that?

I don't know. You could always buy the keyboard WS is touting that comes with the switches.

yeah everyone went towards transparent

cloud crane

😔

glacial wind
#

which makes sense since rgb i guess

wispy wharf
#

Why are stems pa12 now

glacial wind
#

diamond is also hard for me to describe sound note because on my CF board it's so much deeper sounding, but on fr4 it's not as deep in comparison

#

so eh, i just took deep out

glacial wind
#

sometimes at the cost of sound clarity, but average joe just likes deeper notes so all the manufacturers went pa12/pa11

calm pulsar
#

excited to get my v2 and use CF plate with culinary switches

#

gonna be trying keysnaps too to use nothing between pcb and plate

wispy wharf
#

Is the flux jade deeper than the deep clacky?

#

Hard to tell with the sound tests

glacial wind
#

eh i wouldn't say so but they're different types of notes a bit

sly palm
#

GIVE ME CLACKLIZARD

wispy wharf
#

Seems a little more subdued

glacial wind
#

there's some reverby sound that happens with all the pa12/pa11 stuff

#

and they changed the flux jade where instead of changing bottom housing they changed stem

#

which further makes it a bit different end result even though both use some variant of nylon to try push a deeper note

with diamonds i definitely highly recommend you test it on the plate you want to use too, because pa12 sound changes so much on different plates

#

i would not pick diamonds as my main pick if I was choosing purely on fr4, but i really like them on cf

calm pulsar
# wispy wharf My preferences are wrong 😭

not necessarily, I'm just an elitist so I have to use no foam to appear cool

(but also I think using all kinds of mods at the same time does not really improve sound, it just kills it)

wispy wharf

It either absorbs or reflects different wavelengths

true, if you can't bottom them out then they will be truly silent

#

an unpressable switch is true silent

#

Finally a reason to add 0.00001 actuation point havo

glacial wind
#

btw for those curious before, some discussion internally about the swagkey neon latency testers: they basically don't work very well just fyi

#

for wooting in particular you don't set deadzone so it's impossible to set the same setting vs another keyboard, and the bigger issue is that electromagnets do not replicate normal switch press which is how you calibrate a keyboard/switch

#

so even though though their advertised use is to 'finally measure real keypress and not fake latency tests', electromagnets still don't simulate proper switch presses, so the problem is still there

#

wait what on earth is this...

it says products scheduled for stocking, sw knight stab lubed?

they sell them but communicating it easily might be a pain

Not a big deal coz we have keyspensory now dogekek

you'd need plate file though

hello, question for alumaze60 with friction fit: i am assuming the center and spacebar standoffs are both completely unnecessary/optional and i should only use them for different typing feel? ty.

glacial wind
#

are you using a v2 module?

hollow compass
#

ye

glacial wind
#

then don't need to worry about standoffs, the rubber bump things on bottom of your module are built in standoffs basically

ok perfect, thank you

Not 100% the correct channel, but would it work to take my existing PBT keycap set that came with my Wooting 60HE and build a Wooting 80HE just by the module?

sly palm
vivid shale
#

the set is a common 151 keys set i think, contains a lot more keys than a 60% would need

#

just making sure i dont miss anything. should be able to just get case + module then

both L45 and L60, unfortunately V1 though. Not sure how much they differ from V2

i just want to upgrade because for programming 80% is a lottt nicer. And i realized i still have a 50€ store coupon i got in 2023 (it better still be valid)

less wobble and such

ive also considered getting a refurbished 80he module, but afaik theres no case included? so ig id need to get one separately

I guess there was a case included?

vivid shale
#

oh actualy you are right

#

with my coupon id be at 98€ then for a 80he, that sounds nice

sacred elm
sly palm
#

oh right, 80 comes always with case because of JST cable (if you don't kick it out of the cart of course)

hmm i could even yoink the keycaps from my wooting one to make my wooting 60he still usable

ANSI comes with pre installed keycaps while iso don't

calm pulsar

more proof that ISO isnt real

sacred elm
#

Get Tikkens if you can, they're 50% off with the module

vivid shale
#

im primarily looking at the refurbished module

sly palm
#

I agree with Shafie Tikkens would probably be nicer than v2s

calm pulsar
#

yea especially if you only used tikkens before

vivid shale
#

dun really want to spend another 40 bucks just for them

sly palm
sacred elm
#

Tikkens cost $25 with the module

#

not 40

vivid shale
#

even when going for a refurbished module?

sacred elm
#

Yes

vivid shale
#

oh, hmm

#

then i might have to look at that, and choose between a refurbished 80he, or a module + those switches

#

ive also been interested in some aluminum case, its hard to decide on priorities

do you know if kbdfans ever finished their gt60v2? if not, do you know where i can follow for updates?

Darn I'm eager to try the gt60 but also want to see what they got in store for v2, i have not seen mentions of it anywhere

#

it looks incredible, i was planning something similar with calkis ccaps

my choice if i were to go pbt

robust siren
hard fern
#

unfortunately not many builds/pics of the gt60 on the webs and yours is my favorite i've come across

robust siren

theres plently of gt80s cause thats like one of the 4 or 5 cases that exist for the keyboard

robust siren

#

tbh gt80 is a little boring, the accent piece gt60 is a nice touch

robust siren

some people here hate the accent piece of the gt60

hard fern
#

Oh yes the light bar diffuser is a definite upgrade

#

whaaaat, let tacky than side loop straps by a landslide but to each their own ig

robust siren
#

eventually im gonna get the gt80 in silver to match my gt60

hard fern
#

is the gt60 taller front height than tofu's?

robust siren
robust siren
#

i know because the tofu was flush with the wrist rest but the gt60 is ever so slightly lower than the part that touches the front (not that youd ever really notice)

#

i believe the angle is the same(?)

robust siren
hard fern
#

that's pretty significant, you're measuring from case walls or desk to cap height?

#

afaik tofu has tall walls

calm pulsar

both are from bottom-top of the case

was there some different shaped ufo recently @fallen pecan ?

oh well, they sent me a box of them, i don't know if that actually helps rgb but will see lol

https://x.com/GravaStar_/status/2047130881119375762 gravastar seems to like your recommendations sno

Wooting just dropped their April switch recommendations, and look who made the list! 🤯

GravaStar UFO switches were picked for having the best stability and precision. Deeply honored to receive such a great recommendation! 🛸

#gravastar #ufoswitch #wooting #magneticsiwtch

yeah i think maybe i should start sharing random switch stuff more on my x. We can't spam them out on the wooting account because it'd be weird to constantly post about other brands switches, but i can use my own account for community stuff

#

then at least it gets shared more easily instead of gravastar needing to email me asking if they can share my image

oak jewel
#

Don't think it'd be an issue if I reposted one here and there tbh to prop up your account a bit

Was tempted to do the same on mine for esports stuff

dawn silo

but in the wooting 60 he v2 module since the rgb are north-facing can I rotate my south-facing switches so that they match?

glacial wind
#

does anyone have the official Kailh/box switch opener dimensions for the actual opener part? I can't seem to find that info anywhere (maybe since it might not be an official spec)

#

best i can find is the gap is 12mm between the 2 wing opener bits from my own measurements

sacred elm
dawn silo
sacred elm
#

What switches?

dawn silo
#

pink lotus

sacred elm
#

Where did you read that they're south facing?

dawn silo
#

i saw the imagine of them and the rgb diffuser is south-facing i think

sacred elm
#

depends on the keyboard. on wooting the diffuser should be facing north

dawn silo
#

so there are no problems if I rotate the switches?

glacial wind
#

for magnetic switch it doesn't matter, you can swap switches north or south facing (although people do normally install them north facing because it lines up with the diffuser in single diffuser switches)

Diamonds are omni directional in terms of north/south I believe

little glen
glacial wind
#

Yep diamond are 4 sided diffuser, although the legs will mean it’s still limited to inserting north or south

little glen
#

i like that tbh

broken notch
#

I noticed the koi RGB are very similar to the diamond cullinans bar the walled stem

#

Soundwise they're rather close surprising enough

#

But they severely lack in the stability department

#

Though in practise I don't really feel a distinction as I mixed them in to complete my keyboard for now

Can you name the first three switches in that row?

little glen

ttc horse, lekker tikken and deep clack flux

#

Oh nice

little glen
#

i think i enjoy the cullinan more tbh

#

at least on this plate

#

it's a bit sharper and heart of ocean is a bit fuller i'd say

#

honestly this just puts into perspective how much i enjoy all of these switches over tikken 😭

Some would call it heresy, but they don't understand

I haven't really kept up - how are diamonds an improvement over DCF?

I do prefer the diamond sound profile

Gotcha, I'll have to check out sno's recordings back to back but probably a pass for now then

There will be a launch discount

maybe alu tbh

Yeah there’s your issue

little glen

alu might be it

tropic urchin

Alu won’t help

little glen

Alu sounds best with brighter switches, not DCF adjacent ones

#

Else it sounds flat

#

If you want brighter, absolutely CF

tropic urchin
glacial wind
#

what about you randomly put heart of the ocean and cullinan in

#

so you never know which key will sound like what

#

then throw some poseidons randomly in there as well

get some little gremlins to mess with your switches every night

then as a booby trap maybe one lekker v1
