[wispy wharf]

$3 switches

[tropic urchin]

They’re certainly charging more

[tropic urchin]

Alr bud let’s relax a bit

[wispy wharf]

Yeah I refuse to pay more than a dollar per

Ideally less

[fluid ravine]

MX bebber

Wait now I think abt it

@glacial wind do you own any MX boards?

[wispy wharf]

Yo

[fluid ravine]

Wsp

[wispy wharf]

Have y'all seen those mx he hybrids in that new board

The lofree one

[fluid ravine]

Ew

Sorry not a fan of those hybrids

Especially after gmmk

[wispy wharf]

Wait what did they do

[fluid ravine]

Absolutely assssssss

Oh wait

[fluid ravine]

Are you talking about that big ass keyboard with the rotary knob?

[hard fern]

hyzen

(probably)

[wispy wharf]

Yes that

[hard fern]

MX HE hybrids should be pretty common for TMR keyboards in the future

[fluid ravine]

Oh yea

[wispy wharf]

Why not just make HE better

[fluid ravine]

Theres a research vid between tmr and HE iirc

[hard fern]

TMR is more accurate and drains less power, why stay with HE?

[wispy wharf]

Someone said it can be as accurate OR drain less power

I meant the switches themselves

[fluid ravine]

Yall got that discussion
This is not my type of field to talk about

[hard fern]

Every TMR keyboard that has come out has a wireless mode, most HE boards don't

Should tell you all you need to know about power efficiency

[wispy wharf]

Not really

Honestly most HE boards I've seen have a wireless mode

Just not wooting

[hard fern]

And how is their performance/life relatively?

[wispy wharf]

[hard fern]

All performant boards, wooting/venom/sparklings pcb rarely come in wireless versions.

[wispy wharf]

Are there many module based boards with wireless?

[hard fern]

Good question

[wispy wharf]

I see a lot of prebuilts with it

But wireless has more going on

So modules get tricky

[hard fern]

Not that I would use it, but just as a tech growth out of limitation side of talking about it, hall effect in general is more power hungry

[wispy wharf]

There's batteries and signal and toggle switches

Who said that tmr needed to be driven hot to be accurate?

[hard fern]

No one?

Not sure where you're driving the discussion with that

[wispy wharf]

No I remember seeing it by one of the staff here

[hard fern]

interesting I see

[cloud crane]

I need one million mx blacks

[fluid ravine]

Gib sum here

[wispy wharf]

Filmed and lubed vintage blacks

[hard fern]

I'm sure HE has its benefits, and would love to be enlightened. But so far future is favoring TMR especially since it marries the hobbyists and perf-focused

[fluid ravine]

I really need me some vintage MX switches

Love me some cherry scratch

[cloud crane]

How about wingtree and keygeek scratch

[fluid ravine]

Never tried so can't say

If they similar or same then bet!

[sacred elm]

TMR is not more accurate, the only advantage of it is less power

[wispy wharf]

Measuring resistance is weird

[cloud crane]

Dry Camellias

[wispy wharf]

Glass filled nylon bottoms

[calm pulsar]

um it stands for Thock Magnetoresistance so it's faster and betterer

[cloud crane]

PA66 with 70% fiberglass 🗣️ 🔥

[wispy wharf]

Tmr is that thing with my jaw

[wispy wharf]

I'm gonna vomit

[cloud crane]

[fluid ravine]

But but

[sacred elm]

@hard fern If you want more information, read from here #💬│general message also I think Wooting is releasing a video/article about TMR vs HE

[wispy wharf]

Gfrp but with molten nylon instead of resin

[fluid ravine]

Fiberglass

[hard fern]

Nice, thanks for the information! Appreciate the sources

[cloud crane]

AYO

[hard fern]

It includes, lube I need

[cloud crane]

[wispy wharf]

Where that krytox been

[lyric nimbus]

i thought tmr was more accurate

just not to the point it matters for us humans

[tulip rapids]

thats tmj

[wispy wharf]

It's the magnet thing they do to your head to cure depression

[tulip rapids]

jesus one joke saying poseidon are shit and nadia is off the rails 😭

[onyx lion]

swearing

bad boy

[tulip rapids]

here's another one shut yo ass up

[onyx lion]

ok

[tulip rapids]

[onyx lion]

😢

[tulip rapids]

im joking

[wispy wharf]

I'm over the Poseidon thing I'm just silly mode now

[onyx lion]

i know

[tulip rapids]

badia is in billy mode

[tulip rapids]

what switches are you using

[onyx lion]

outemu purple

switch

😔

[broken notch]

Just a silly gal!

[wispy wharf]

Yep

[tulip rapids]

what mod are you rocking with your 80he ?

[wispy wharf]

Dcf

[tulip rapids]

iirc you're trying to go for that muted sound?

[wispy wharf]

Foam kit

[tulip rapids]

still on pc plate?

[wispy wharf]

Yes

[tulip rapids]

nice nice

i been on pc plate for a while so I'll be grabbing some plates soon with diamonds

[wispy wharf]

Which plates

[tulip rapids]

fr4 and cf for sure

might get more for my 80he

[wispy wharf]

I wanted to try pom

[tulip rapids]

that and alu too

are you still on pcr case?

[wispy wharf]

Never was

Use zinc case

I hear brass is nice

For plate and maybe case

[cloud crane]

PBT plates

[wispy wharf]

You keep saying that

[cloud crane]

Coz I hear great things bout it

I hope I can get one cut when +84 plate files drop

[cerulean wind]

what should I upgrade first - I have geon raw should I get gt80 case or new switches? I have the plastic wooting case

[regal patio]

Both

[cerulean wind]

is it worth splurging for the diamonds cullihan or just stick with upgrading to lekker tikken (lol)

[broken notch]

We can't really answer that for you

I suggest the switch list in #🪛│modding_faq

[cerulean wind]

dang I wish someone would just hold my hand and tell me what to do 🙁

they both in the same tier

[broken notch]

And coming to your own conclusions

[sacred elm]

Check switches in stability section too, they all sound just as good

[regal patio]

They are around 1.5$ per switch

[regal patio]

What sound do you want

[cerulean wind]

I like creamy but I understand thats not possible with HE

[cerulean wind]

Them keytok nova sounds pretty nice actually

now I'm torn between the diamond vs nova

could I get a rundown on what has improved since I got geon raws over a year ago?

[fluid ravine]

novaaa

[sacred elm]

Significantly less stem wobble, smoother feel

[fluid ravine]

molds are much different in some switches and some that are alike have better improved molds

[cerulean wind]

smoother feel is important.. will i have to lube these higher priced switch when they come?

[regal patio]

I have the nova's and I can recommend them

[sacred elm]

No

[fluid ravine]

Just my take, between Nova and Diamonds, I'd reckon Nova would be the better play here. And messing around with sound acoustic foams and plates would also be the play too

[regal patio]

The nova's have great factory lube

[fluid ravine]

Most to all switches now have great factory lubing so you shouldn't worry

[calm pulsar]

unless it's ufo

[cerulean wind]

the chart say that the higher stability keys might be "stiff" for some, do I need to worry about that

[fluid ravine]

aaa my ears (its loud )

[calm pulsar]

desk sound test

[fluid ravine]

whats your gain setting

[cerulean wind]

thats actually... very nice

[regal patio]

I have the microphone to close to the keyboard

[regal patio]

Idk

[fluid ravine]

nah gotta get that shi OFF the table

[regal patio]

I recorded this on my phone

[fluid ravine]

oh

nvm

[sacred elm]

That's just UFO, others don't have that feeling

[cerulean wind]

oh nice

[cerulean wind]

whats your setup?

should I get the he modding kit (thinking POM + PORON)

[regal patio]

A foamed up woofing basically

[fluid ravine]

Nova with POM or PP plate is a good play @cerulean wind

[regal patio]

That's what I used

Nova's have a nice soft sound

Idk how to describe it

[cerulean wind]

my wooting came with 1 foam, so do I put another one on top with the plat?

[sacred elm]

no

[cerulean wind]

thanks all for the help lol

[calm pulsar]

the more layers the creamier

[fluid ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/fortnite-gif-4169442390448293969

[untold wigeon]

just scrolled up and read the convo on TMR vs HE. Aren't the new keychron HE boards actually just TMR but marketed as HE for gamer slop

[cerulean wind]

what case do you use?

I remember when I bought it long ago they say the plastic case makes it softer and creamier sound

[regal patio]

The Build is:
The stock alu wooting case
Wooting 60 he V2 module
Dye sub cherry profile keycaps
Keytok nova switches
Poron foam + PET
2 layer tape mod + Poron tape mod
Stock lubed stabs
POM plate

[cerulean wind]

almost thought it was a PC component list

[sacred elm]

Friction fit pad?

[fluid ravine]

actually POM is da wae for you @cerulean wind
Thinking about it, in terms of sound frequency and density for plastic plates, from low to high, it goes from PC>PP>POM
PC is just straight up dead, PP is still on the lower end but not too muted, and since POM is a bit more rigid the mids are a bit more increased which gives a nicer "pop" sound profile.
And from what I understand with people's understanding of the buzz word "creamy", it tends to rely more on the mid frequencies of the board and rounds off the higher ends. You can do that by using foam (Idk what foams is provided in the foam pack for the 80he so i should look into that)

[broken notch]

Real men get KOIs

[fluid ravine]

lul

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

is koi slop?

[calm pulsar]

The Yapson | Yap Church

sorry

[broken notch]

dont you dare say it

[fluid ravine]

i need to try herons

[fluid ravine]

mmmm new name idea

i like it

[broken notch]

Like genuinely, Koi RGB is pretty good soundwise

[regal patio]

You should get a Poron gasket mount

Ditch the silicone

[fluid ravine]

drop the sound testtt

[broken notch]

I would never recommend them seriously though

They're a pain to get

[regal patio]

We need more glass shrimps

[cerulean wind]

what is that

[calm pulsar]

but fr I remember POM having some little punch to it compared to PC, but that was during gateron jade times

[fluid ravine]

that would still be true

i think that'd be among across all boards

[regal patio]

The wooting 80he is mounted using a silicone gasket

[fluid ravine]

only thing that can save pc from the dead is to accentuate any lows or mids

[regal patio]

I think POM sounds great with Poron foam

[fluid ravine]

holy yappatron, yap but still have bad grammar

gg

im cooked on that SAT

[cerulean wind]

what about FR4?

[fluid ravine]

chat she forgor

[fluid ravine]

FR4 is more on the neutral side of the bunch

[regal patio]

It's also stiffer

[fluid ravine]

like you can say its the middle line of everything between plastic and denser plates

[broken notch]

see, they don't sound awful

[cerulean wind]

Ill get one of what you have

lol that sounded good

[cerulean wind]

i mean this not the kois

[broken notch]

You monster

[fluid ravine]

lmao

i need to put my gmk snails in a box rq
gave it a deep clean

nothing feels better than cleaned GMK shiny keycaps

[calm pulsar]

I ordered L9 mods btw

[fluid ravine]

AND NONE FOR ME??:?

HOW DARE

[calm pulsar]

full cream on silber case

[fluid ravine]

darn u arc

i couldve have a full set of l9 cream TOO

we couldve been TWINS

[broken notch]

one day zoom64 will finish production

;_;

[fluid ravine]

🤞

WE COULDVE BEEN^

[calm pulsar]

its on sale rn btw, but I had to order direct from korea cause its cheaper for me

[fluid ravine]

welp i can't
shipping a bit wild

[cerulean wind]

sorry one final thing should I upgrad eot gt80 case or stick with plastic case?

[broken notch]

gt80 pretty pog

[calm pulsar]

ah yeah the exbensive beon shipping

[fluid ravine]

gt80 is pretty pog indeed

omg i havent heard POG in so long

[cerulean wind]

more than holy80 right

[fluid ravine]

ew get holy80 out of here

[fluid ravine]

(so bad for sound containment)

[broken notch]

wrong pic

wsecond is GT80

[fluid ravine]

what the hell you have an 80he???

[broken notch]

yeah

[fluid ravine]

how did i not know this

[broken notch]

idk

[fluid ravine]

or did i just forget

[broken notch]

I don't use it tho

[fluid ravine]

yup im balding chat

[broken notch]

60 all da way

[fluid ravine]

lol

too bad i can't use any of my 60's

they're all disassembled

[broken notch]

63HE baybeeee

[cerulean wind]

dang GT80 would cost me same as getting Novas + Foam + plate mod

[calm pulsar]

GT80 best

[cerulean wind]

so you think I should get gt80 before I get the switch + mods?

[broken notch]

Your choice

Once more: We cannot make your financial decisions

[cerulean wind]

if it was you which would you get first?

[calm pulsar]

we could if you give us your credit card details tho

[broken notch]

switches

[calm pulsar]

[fluid ravine]

switches

[cerulean wind]

bet

thank you all

[broken notch]

I can have, yes?

[calm pulsar]

wait is that a left shift key? always thought that one was for enter lol

[fluid ravine]

Like how dare you @calm pulsar
WE COULD'VE BEEN BUDDIES

[fluid ravine]

Idk
Left shift makes more sense to me

cus the left circle is the shell

then the two lines on the right is the eyes

[calm pulsar]

we COULD but yaint using your wooting

iirc

[fluid ravine]

ay maine

i can put it on another potential board

like neo

and have my black snails on vella

ykyk

[calm pulsar]

wait do you have split spacebars in it????????

[fluid ravine]

i can leave the botanicals on woot

[broken notch]

I want see through caps

[fluid ravine]

my splits are from botanical

[broken notch]

To put my silicon case on

[calm pulsar]

ahhh

[fluid ravine]

snails dont come with splits at all

unfortunately

[calm pulsar]

yeah

[cerulean wind]

whats ya'll favorite green keycaps? prefer pbt

[fluid ravine]

damn i was about to say botanical

nvm

[broken notch]

I ate two easter eggs and feel nauseous

:(

Now give me your snails

[fluid ravine]

now how would my snails benefit you

[broken notch]

They would make me happy

[fluid ravine]

LMAO

[broken notch]

As opposed to miserable from tummy ache

[calm pulsar]

this but with L9 mods about to be fire

[fluid ravine]

You can type on my neo65 to make yourself happy

[fluid ravine]

gib U9

neow

[broken notch]

Okay, mail it

[fluid ravine]

LOL

mail it

yeah lemme like put it in a letter

i gotchu

ill add a pom plate and a few switches for you to try out

[broken notch]

Thanks

[fluid ravine]

how about a second pcb

[broken notch]

That's very kind

[fluid ravine]

yeah lemmet just add another set of stabs and keycaps

[broken notch]

Can you add a Rakka Atlas

[calm pulsar]

I read it as "how about a second job"😭

[fluid ravine]

oh..

idk about that

[fluid ravine]

idk about that either

[broken notch]

I'm genuinely thinking of getting a rakka

[fluid ravine]

damn fr?

[broken notch]

But it's such a hassle to collect parts

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/1x1x1x1-forsaken-job-application-apply-i-cast-necromancy-gif-14849263547288841055

[regal patio]

Why is rakka better than wooting

[broken notch]

It's not

I just want one

[fluid ravine]

Rakka60 7u Split Spacebar, Split Backspace, Stepped Capslock
I need you to use this @broken notch

would be OP

[regal patio]

So why you buy it

[fluid ravine]

want

[broken notch]

Why not

[fluid ravine]

[calm pulsar]

its not but it has more layout options, like 7u spacebar and its split variant

[broken notch]

Rakka is modular to the max

[calm pulsar]

also split backspace/right shift

[fluid ravine]

hell yeah

honestly

if i were to want a rakka

that would be the exact reason

nothing else

[chilly mural]

same, just for high performance 3u split space.

and an option for iso spacebar with a full sized shift key

[fluid ravine]

like who wouldnt want that

[calm pulsar]

I also ordered balanced stab wires, I don't even know if they are compatible with knights

[fluid ravine]

from geon?

[calm pulsar]

yea

[fluid ravine]

dude im not gonna lie
geon balanced wires are thick as hell

its sorta concerning

i've bought them a year ago and i still haven't used them

[cerulean wind]

Another question - since I am going to be modding almost everything except the wooting itself, I want to use the leftover components (switches, cap, case if possible) and make another keyboard from it doesn't ahve to be wooting, is there a budget friendly way to do that?

[fluid ravine]

i dont think they fit in my knights either

they felt sluggish

even in TX AP

yeah yeah they didn't fit

the time i fraken steined my stabs with knight stem and tx ap clip in housing

i try using geon's balanced wire

but they were so thick that it felt slugish

so i just used thinner wires from knights and they work just fine

[calm pulsar]

dam
well they are hella cheap so I just threw em in the order
mainly was looking for l9 mods and gmk mono

[fluid ravine]

like you have enough switches and keycaps to make another keyboard you're saying?

[fluid ravine]

that's fine

[broken notch]

I have typlus x yikbd

[fluid ravine]

i think they would work fine with older gen stabs like cherry clip ins or sumn

or like gat

idk

[cerulean wind]

exactly but without buying wooting since my little brother doesnt play games and need all these stuff

[fluid ravine]

i'd probably just buy a cheap HE prebuilt keyboard then

[sacred elm]

Wooting from respawn store

[broken notch]

Just buy a module from respawn

[fluid ravine]

cus if you're gonna have extra sets of HE switches and keycaps and want to give it to your bro, then you'd have to make a whole new build but that may cost a lot

so you might as well get a prebuilt, and swap out switches and keycaps

[calm pulsar]

I wonder of keysnaps can work in v2 alu case lol

[broken notch]

I think for 100ish euros you have a 60he+ pcb

[fluid ravine]

oh yeah what would even be considered budget for you anyways?

[broken notch]

3

[fluid ravine]

bands

got it

LMAO

[cerulean wind]

under $100 ideally

[fluid ravine]

yeah i thought so

you're better off with a prebuilt

[calm pulsar]

fun60

[cerulean wind]

do you have one you'd recommend

[broken notch]

This is close enough surely

[fluid ravine]

sorry im not the one to ask

[fluid ravine]

wait are you viet?

[cerulean wind]

when I go to the site all i see is two cases

[fluid ravine]

are you located in asia?

[cerulean wind]

nope US but yes lol

[fluid ravine]

PFFT

oops

anyways

uh

[calm pulsar]

damn yall twins

[fluid ravine]

this is based on regions

[cerulean wind]

tough

[fluid ravine]

woot store only has the two cases he mentioned

[broken notch]

Thanks Obama

[fluid ravine]

alright

[fluid ravine]

welp honestly i guess from here you would have to do your research

we dont know much about budget HE boards around here in terms of how sure we can reommend them

we go around wooting and some other pcbs like venom and all about that

[regal patio]

Buy the mad lion

[fluid ravine]

oop there you go

[regal patio]

Trust

Joking btw

[fluid ravine]

nvm then oop

[cerulean wind]

damn i thought you were deadass

[calm pulsar]

holy shiz

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/caseoh-gif-3944837017366223108

[cerulean wind]

is the switch on this one better than geon raw he

[fluid ravine]

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

[regal patio]

No

[regal patio]

That's an old Gateron switch

[calm pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/my-face-as-the-mods-gif-8382459733412495139

[cerulean wind]

ok bet this is what I will rip out then

[calm pulsar]

double check this board cause iirc some keychron boards used different polarity for HE switches or smth

meaning not all HEs might be compatible

[cerulean wind]

wut...

back to research i go

[calm pulsar]

I just faintly remember reading about this so better check if the switches that you want to put there work

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

Yeah I kept one and sold my other ones. I don’t like high wrist angle is the problem

[fluid ravine]

what board?

[glacial wind]

just an old zoom, it was the lowest angle of them lol

[fluid ravine]

zoomer

[cloud crane]

Should've bought CW88 back then 😢

[glacial wind]

All the enthusiast ones are stupid 9-11 angle most of the time

Honestly part of it is I ran out of room to store stuff

I literally have half my desk now stacked with 7-10 keyboards because I have to re-sort my room to find a place to store them

[calm pulsar]

I can hold onto them for you

[glacial wind]

Still deciding on if I move next year to bigger place then I can model one room from ground up for filming and content creation with proper storage

But my rent now is so low and my landlord never bothers me so it’s hard to give that up

[chilly mural]

Keep the apartment and 'lend' out the keebs, yesh

moving to a new place seems to be like a massive gamble if the current one is already pretty fine.

[glacial wind]

It’s mostly bigger place would be out of Seoul and I don’t know if I want to move out there

it’s nice being in city with everything

[chilly mural]

stay in Seoul, yesh

[onyx lion]

is the mount tai a good switch

like quality wise

[glacial wind]

Okay for stability, sounds awful to me though

Extremely chattery plasticky sound

There’s much better options out there

[onyx lion]

im using an abused outemu switch

it feels scratchy

[glacial wind]

we have switch recommendations in faq channel

With sound tests

[onyx lion]

i need the magnetic flux at bottom out

with pcb thickness though

the mount tai is the only one which actually gives these data

[glacial wind]

What? Why and they are definitely not the only ones

[onyx lion]

not the only ones

but the pcb thickness is very rare

if not impossible to find

[glacial wind]

I’m still confused at why you need this info

Manu specs are often incorrect or slightly off too and we’ve had to correct it ourselves in switch selector many times

[onyx lion]

im making a custom pcb

for a keyboard

cus im broke

and i need the sensor range to match the key magnetic force

[fluid ravine]

Wouldnt making a custom HE PCB be more expensive...

[onyx lion]

no

i somehow made it cheaper

its wooting grade as well

i have a 11 bit enob for the adc for now

[fluid ravine]

Youre going through a lot of hassle and risks as well as dropping a bomb amount of money on a pcb alone. Plus you need plate files and all the other stuff which adds onto the costs.

[onyx lion]

nah, ive gotten the pcb price under 50 dollars for now

[fluid ravine]

Alright then
Good luck..

[calm pulsar]

wooting's strong side is the firmware

[fluid ravine]

Dont forgot abt software and shi

Gotta find one make one somehow

[broken notch]

I assure you, you will not make a cheaper wooting grade keyboard

[cloud crane]

Inb4 its the open source peppahighs HE60 v2

[fluid ravine]

Yeah you might as well buy a cheap ass HE keyboard

[onyx lion]

physical quality is wooting grade idek about the software it might be crappy lmao

my software is going to be baf

bad

[fluid ravine]

Dude... You might as well buy a HE prebuilt if the software is gonna be bad

[onyx lion]

i dont even have a software for my current one

[quick finch]

[fluid ravine]

It's super pointless if a pcb is "wooting grade level"
A pcb is a pcb

[onyx lion]

its some random chinese keyboard

[sacred elm]

[fluid ravine]

It's like saying I have a skull or a human body with a brain that don't work

Like

[onyx lion]

alr so maybe it ISNT wooting quality

but im making it good

atleast good

[fluid ravine]

Ok I'm done 💀

I'm out

I need to preserve braincells

[calm pulsar]

get fun60 unironically

[fluid ravine]

Might as well

[onyx lion]

ykw im saying some dumbass shit

fr

[sacred elm]

I agree

[fluid ravine]

Yea..

[thorn zealot]

im tryna make a high quality mass produced product with shitty chinese product

and i dont even know if it will work

[calm pulsar]

geon including these with gmk mono base kit, very cool

[cloud crane]

Tulippppppp

[glacial wind]

mictlan is delivering soon too from sounds of the updates i'm getting everywhere

[little glen]

Cant wait to get my sick ass skulls

[broken notch]

I've seen Zoom64 changed to Q3 delivery :(

From Q2

[calm pulsar]

idea for a video, a comparison with different keycap types on all-rounder switches

[little glen]

I can tell you right now

Gmk = best, most other things = good enough, pudding keycaps = ugly as fuck

[calm pulsar]

I'd put gmk, keykobo and maybe swg into 1 abs category, and for different sound maybe dyesub pbt caps

[little glen]

Pbtfans pbt pbtfans abs

Wooting pbt

And then some translucent ones cause those usually use weird materials

Or those horrible ugly rubber keycaps that people use cause they cant find wasd with their limited brain capacity

[broken notch]

Didn't understand, brain leaking

[calm pulsar]

double shot pbt feels like it doesnt have its unique sound like gmk/kkb cause the tech itself is diff, but dyesub pbt is a diff vibe

still pbtfans doubleshot are popular and have good quality legends so maybe they deserve their own category

[cloud crane]

Then there's CRP

[glacial wind]

yeah i have that one planned already. A lot of the stuff i can't do until the modding site section gets done

[little glen]

hey everybody, is there a difference between the white and purple ufo switches other than color? couldn’t find info on this. thanks

[broken notch]

No

[ionic rover]

thanks

[broken notch]

Just the pinks have a butt shaped diffuser lmao

[little glen]

nah build the keyboard into the desk

[untold wigeon]

Just type with your mind

[regal patio]

90 degree height when?

180 degree height when?

[little glen]

I need that 360 degree height

[calm pulsar]

I need that 8000 megabyte polling rate

[trail bane]

This is a pretty damn big package for single set, aren’t it

[calm pulsar]

black snail, more than just a keycap set

it's a way of life

🐌

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine he also bought black snail without buying you one! 🫵

[glacial wind]

more followers of the black snail

[trail bane]

Gamba time

Black snailllll

[sly palm]

My kkb bojus also came in that big of a package

[glacial wind]

but you guys are missing the black snail artisan to go with it

how can black snail be complete without a $40 keycap

[sly palm]

I am also missing the $5k Sony camera

And the $2k lens

[glacial wind]

tragic

your life will be incomplete

[calm pulsar]

it's ok, I got these

[glacial wind]

don't forget the cream alphas too though, you need that so you can do the number row cream stripe

[calm pulsar]

I collected it all, cream alphas, L9 and U9 mods, missing only red cyrillic

they were tempting but UV printing put me off

[chilly mural]

And $1k iem

[glacial wind]

yeah i don't like uv printing, i find it rubs off fairly quick

[calm pulsar]

lol seems like the alu artisan is available on naver store 노벨티

[glacial wind]

yeah it's always been available there, they probably just didn't have stock as part of this sale for global store

[calm pulsar]

next time I order from geon I need to get it so I can turn my life around

[cloud crane]

oh ttc sending me out their new switches, so I guess they'll be a bit more widespread than the 035 that were only in melgeek board

[vivid shale]

Some days ago someone here recommended me the Lekker Tikken switches. Is there any particular reason for it? I've never experienced the Lekker V2 overall, but i have 200-300 lekker V1s with me here that I would potentially consider using alternatively

[sacred elm]

Tikkens have less wobble and better sound and feel (imo)

Lekker v1/v2 feel mushy because of open bottom, Tikkens have closed bottom

[cloud crane]

Alexotos Lienzo 👀

[vivid shale]

hmm i see

[trail bane]

Holy side bezels

[vivid shale]

that sounds pretty good for 25€, i suppose thats worth it

[cloud crane]

Me when I like Protagonist60

[sacred elm]

Absolutely, that's a very good deal

[trail bane]

Worth every penny especially with new wooting

50% discount

[little glen]

yo that looks kinda sick

[vivid shale]

i think i might go for refurbished module + tikken + pbt keycaps then

[little glen]

i want more pictures/renders

[vivid shale]

while i do have pbt keycaps already, theyre 3.5 years old and the surface definitely suffered from skin fat and whatnot

[vivid shale]

any gotchas when building with a module? or is it pretty straight forward?

[calm pulsar]

this gradient looks like a glass of beer

[cloud crane]

Think there's some more renders by mikeydigit

[little glen]

where did you find this

[cloud crane]

Bowl server

[little glen]

god DAMN

thats sick

[sacred elm]

It's easy to assemble, hardest part is plugging the internal JST cable. There's build tutorial on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNa5wuqiFVY

[little glen]

hope its affordable

[cloud crane]

Not sure if this one will be the board that supports the left side usb adaptor like gehirn tho

Not much details yet

[little glen]

sure hope so

that keycap set is sick as fuck too

[cloud crane]

MikeyDigit goated as always

now you just need sony camera and lens to take nice pictures of it

[calm pulsar]

one thing I noticed tho is geon forgot to include Ctrl keycaps

[trail bane]

Finally tiramisu could’ve get some rest

[trail bane]

In Q90 2033 maybe

[sacred elm]

damn geon didn't include ctrl keycaps

[trail bane]

Only small one

Can’t you see

[calm pulsar]

do you use that as ctrl?

I think on hhkb they use the caps key as ctrl usually, and switch text register using tab or smth

[trail bane]

same as right shift(never)

[harsh dove]

No sir

[tulip rapids]

did you?

[queen otter]

ah ok, was wondering since I think I saw a stream of yours when you were trying purple switches when custom HE was still very new

[harsh dove]

Oh okay '

[queen otter]

i forgot what they were called, but they were released back in the days of the OG Gateron Jades

[harsh dove]

Lavenders?

[queen otter]

both

[queen otter]

yeah I can't remember who made them tho, they had a lavender like color

but fr tho, would be awesome to see a ghost silicone case

[harsh dove]

They were called Neo Lavenders

[queen otter]

[harsh dove]

yeah those were some of my fave early HE switches

I still got em

[tropic urchin]

@fluid ravine you were right on your alu bright switch hypothesis

[fluid ravine]

[meager robin]

Hey ppl, if anyone has an Optimum case would you be willing to measure the height at the front? Even a comparison to a tofu is fine, but no dimensions listed on the site.

Edit: someone on reddit got me, thanks. about 1.8cm and 2cm with feet.

Uh so our main outside (our best player) got injured in a tournament so he's out. And our replacement outside has a regionals track and fields meet. SO he's out. Now I'm playing outside and god i haven't played that position in a whole year cus of my arm injury.

@fluid ravine Thanks a lot for all your help. The keyboard sounds amazing now after I installed the friction kit, plastic switch plate and my new gmk keycaps

[regal patio]

What switches you have?

Could you send a sound test?

[thorn bolt]

Gateron jade ruby

Kbdfans tofu redux

Sure. This is from mobile so probably not perfect

[regal patio]

Honestly I don't really like how it sounds

It has that top out chatter that most Gateron switches have

[thorn bolt]

Thats totally fine 😊

[regal patio]

What plate are you using

ATK'S premium sister brand Velota

Wonder where the V1 went🤔

[broken notch]

It died, F

[glacial wind]

man everyone is doing that look now huh

the silver stencil kind of case everywhere

wuque was asking if I wanted the forged zoom64 that was that style of case too, seems everyone is making it

[broken notch]

say yes say yes

I am so hyped for my Zoom64 still

But alas, it shifted to Q3

[glacial wind]

i told them i prefer the drift gray still lol

i like simple neutral colors, blends well with more keycaps and desks

[broken notch]

[vivid laurel]

what’s the deal with those diamond switches?

are they the new top dog?

[glacial wind]

just a new switch, it's still based on what you like for sound tones

there's sound tests in our database if you want to compare

[vivid laurel]

is it thockier than the other alternatives? all i know is that they’re expensive

[vivid laurel]

nice i didn’t know, last time i looked the database i beelined to the ufos

[glacial wind]

depends on the type of thock and plate you use, it uses pa12 stem which amplifies tones so if your setup already has a specific tone then it amplifies that more

like on cerakeys it becomes very thocky for example

[vivid laurel]

that’s so cool

still it was just curiosity atp lol

[glacial wind]

they're quite pricy is the only thing, even on sale it's like $1.50 per or so

[vivid laurel]

damn so around 150 for 90 switches

[glacial wind]

wuque flux jade is very similar tone if you wanted to try something similar for way cheaper

it uses pa11 stem but same general sound

also in database if you want to check those out, jsut search jade and scroll down

[vivid laurel]

i’ll check both of those rn lol

btw what you think of the akko astrolink ?

[glacial wind]

okay but nothing amazing nowadays

[vivid laurel]

i almost bought a few of them last week

[glacial wind]

they're raptor v2

akko astrolink = raptor v2 = hmx gamerfuel

same switch in different colors

[vivid laurel]

but ended up playing safe and going for gravastar

[glacial wind]

i find them a little flat sounding

don't like the hmx sound tone

[vivid laurel]

oh i didn’t know

[candid bramble]

i been mia for a bit is there a sound test for the new fluxs yet?

[glacial wind]

yeah they're all in the database

no ocean yet but the cullinan are already in there

[candid bramble]

tyty i will go look at it in a bit

[little glen]

They‘re good 👍

[calm pulsar]

its because you’re using dyesub pbt

[little glen]

I‘ll probably get a full set and then see if i like the diamonds more or some lubed horsies

[regal patio]

Dyesub pbt on top

[glacial wind]

Maybe I need dyesub abs

[calm pulsar]

does this even exist
