[uncut wolf]

UFO's

[little glen]

yeah stem spacers will probably help

[tropic urchin]

Knight V2s were the last long pole stabs from Swagkeys, but you’re better off getting the spacers as everyone else has said

[uncut wolf]

I actually already have the geon spacers. The problem is they shorten the effective length of stem that grips the key and end up making the issue of the stems pulling themselves out of the keycaps even worse

[little glen]

that is not the issue

your keycap is loose

[uncut wolf]

How do I tighten it?

[little glen]

stem spacers will help cause itll force the keycap to not go down on one side

so it cant get uneven on the stab

[little glen]

nothing you can really do tbh other than get different caps

[uncut wolf]

fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk

[little glen]

what caps are you using

but yeah spacers will fix it most likely

[uncut wolf]

1.7mm thick pbt

I need to make the stems fit into the keys better somehow

[trail bane]

Gn

[little glen]

Gn lander

[thorn zealot]

what brand

[uncut wolf]

I don't even know. They were the keys that came on my EVO80

[little glen]

Ok

Those should be fine

Just wait till you have the spacers and see if that fixes things

If you still have issues come back here and we can see if there‘s something else you should do

[uncut wolf]

I already have the spacers

The problem is that they cause the stems of the stabs to grip the keys so weakly that they still pop out

I've used these keys on other stabs and never had this issue before

[thorn zealot]

this prob means ur space has loose stems

[uncut wolf]

Yeah but idk how to fix that

[little glen]

Yeah try a diff bar

[uncut wolf]

:/

It's very difficult to get thick PBT UK ISO caps

[thorn zealot]

not rly much besides a saran wrap thing u can do

[little glen]

Also, check if there‘s damage on the keycap

[uncut wolf]

With that said tho only the keys that take stabs are the real problem. So any set with ISO kitting would work

None of the other keys have this issue

[uncut wolf]

I guess it's worth a try. It's not going to harm anything

[candid bramble]

like the hole of the keycap is not sitting right on the stab?

[little glen]

Are there any cracks or similar on the inside of the keycaps?

[uncut wolf]

It's not that the stems aren't aligned with the holes. The problem is that even with the spacers, the keys still rock back and forth a little. And the grip the stems have on the keys is too weak as the spacers inherently decrease the area of engagement between the stems and the key holes

[uncut wolf]

No there's no obvious damage

And all the keys that take stabs, like the spacebar, shift key, enter and the backspace key are all as bad as each other

I doubt they're all damaged the exact same way

[little glen]

And you dont have any spare keycaps at all?

[candid bramble]

yea try to cut a small piece of cling wrap and push it in slightly and put on the keycap see if that fixs it

[uncut wolf]

I think I'll give that a go

[uncut wolf]

I do, I'd just rather use these since I quite like them

[sly palm]

Well, trying the others out wouldn't hurt

[uncut wolf]

I guess not

[little glen]

Try the others and see if they have the same problem

[uncut wolf]

I have some KKB Helleborus caps. I'll go try those. I even have some virgin spacebars in that kit which have never seen a stem in their life.

[little glen]

Cause if they do, it‘s (probably) not a keycap issue

[uncut wolf]

tearing this board apart to access the stabs will be a chore. Oh well

[thorn zealot]

why are u takin the board apart

[candid bramble]

for HE it should be a lot easier

you just have to unscrew the plate and pull up with the switches

[thorn zealot]

u just need to replace the space key

[uncut wolf]

I'm using a different set of stabs for now until i fix this problem

to make the keyboard usable

[candid bramble]

wait so did the other keycap work or

[uncut wolf]

I'm gonna tear the keyboard down to swap over to the knight v4 stabs to test

i want to use the knight v4 stabs specifically because they're clear

and i plan to use clear novelty keys

it's just an aesthetic thing

the weird thing is that the YIKB stabs work perfectly. It's only when I try knight V4's that this problem arose

[little glen]

Maybe their stems are slightly different

[uncut wolf]

i know they are inherently different because the YIKB's use a special curved stabiliser wire

and the knights use a standard wire with only 90 degree bends on each end

stabs are such a pain in the ass

[fluid ravine]

<@&1098943457654997093> CRUNCH TIME

[fluid ravine]

Just checking in now but you got keycap and stab tolerance issue?

[uncut wolf]

yeah that's what i'm trying to figure out

[fluid ravine]

What keycap and stabs?

[uncut wolf]

all of them. Spacebar, shift, enter and backspace

[fluid ravine]

No like what stabilizers
YIKB?

[wooden fractal]

Need keycap recommendations for a pure black/wood setup

[fluid ravine]

And what keycap sets

[uncut wolf]

I'm trying to make Knight V4's work on my 80HE but the problem is every key that takes a stab rocks back and forth on the key like a seesaw. To the point that the stab stems pull out of the keys. All the keys that take stabs do this, not just the space bar. I'm using a 1.7mm thick PBT set from my EVO80 and UFO's.

[fluid ravine]

Do you have a video demo?

[uncut wolf]

I will when I have this board apart. But people keep asking questions. 😅

[fluid ravine]

Lol sorry
Just a diagonisis stage rn before I start making a hypothesis

[uncut wolf]

I'll get on with it then

[fluid ravine]

Theres a lot of possibilities of what's going on but I dont want to start guessing and waste your time

[sly palm]

[cerulean wind]

does the POM + poron wooting mod kit work if I move to gt80 case?

[uncut wolf]

yes.

That is in fact the same setup I'm using now

[fluid ravine]

[uncut wolf]

the only caveat is you may need to supply your own case foam and cut it to size yourself. I just grabbed a poron sheet from amazon

[cerulean wind]

I grab the kit from keybay instead of torontokeyboardman - is there a big difference? did I messed up

[uncut wolf]

nah. They're the same product.

[cerulean wind]

ok thanks, I only am using the plastic case for now though, not sure if upgrade is worth it

[uncut wolf]

I have a couple to compare them now

Just give them a second to upload

any suggestions?

[fluid ravine]

Just a few things
I would just stick with the YIKBs for now
And if you haven't already, test if any of the other keycaps work fine with the Knight stabs or not. If it doesn't then it would most def be a stab issue especially with the stem mold.
Just going based on how you pull out your keycap from your stabs, the knights seems noticeable more loose, and my guess would either be from the stem from the keycap being too big or the stem mold of the stab being too small. But I think the keycap is fine since the tolerance on the YIKB is much more tighter than the knights.

Won't really go into conclusions until you do some more troubleshooting by testing more keycaps onto the stabs

[uncut wolf]

i'll post a demo with another spacebar

[untold wigeon]

should I put my old tikkens into the 80hev2

im considering it as a secondary board

[fluid ravine]

oop yeah then that's all keycaps then
Ceram wrap would only fill in the gap between the keycap and stem
It won't guarantee a tighter fit

[sly palm]

I think you mixed something up, 80hev2?

[untold wigeon]

I mean the 80he lmao

[fluid ravine]

nah bru whatchu mean

he got the 80he v2 split

[untold wigeon]

hell yea lmao

I woulde buy that

[uncut wolf]

The simplest solution would be to just use the YIKB stabs for that spacebar since it works fine. And the Knights for the novelty enter and backspace keys that I plan to use later

[fluid ravine]

best way to go at it

[uncut wolf]

yeah, that would be a fair compromise

These novelties are gorgeous

[sturdy rock]

Shiii they look hella nice and the light purple is peak

[sly palm]

I like my kkb Sojus

[sturdy rock]

[sly palm]

[mellow sedge]

Does anybody know how long kbsfans takes to deliver their orders I’ve been waiting for 11 days and 5 days at their rfl facility 2 hours away from me

[sly palm]

You know that KBDfans isn't a shipping company?

[mellow sedge]

Obviously but they use a carrier and I was wondering if anyone had any input on how long their order took

[uncut wolf]

For real. I might end up going with the full kit after all. They look amazing

with the purple GT80 case

Thanks for the proper response I appreciate it

I ordered a holy80 and it’s been stuck in their warehouse for 5 days I’m definitely going to customer support

[urban ingot]

I have all Cullinans in it now.

[lilac inlet]

No worries!

[young viper]

where'd you get enough cullinans for that lol

[urban ingot]

Keybay

I have a crap ton of extra Nova now. I'm going to put them in my v2 non-split when I swap plates to put it in the Zoom64.

[young viper]

nice haha

[uncut wolf]

ugh, still waiting on mine showing up

still undecided if FR4 or CF would sound better with them

[urban ingot]

There's not much of a difference in sound between the 2.

[wispy wharf]

Poron mod?

From Toronto?

[uncut wolf]

the poron plate foam does make a huge diffeence

[urban ingot]

FR4 and Poron.

[wispy wharf]

Using the poron case foam too?

[urban ingot]

Yes

[wispy wharf]

Film?

[urban ingot]

Plate and case

[wispy wharf]

Nice

[uncut wolf]

I have mine set up basically the same way

[wispy wharf]

Same here

No secondary tape mod film

[uncut wolf]

I added another layer of tape but it didn't make a big difference

[wispy wharf]

Poron fits ok in the gt80?

[urban ingot]

Yes

[wispy wharf]

Saw something about fitment issues

[uncut wolf]

It fits in the case fine

[wispy wharf]

It was a little tight in the zinc case

[urban ingot]

It fits fine for the most part. Maybe a little bit over hanging.

[wispy wharf]

Sound test?

[lilac inlet]

Never heard of these switches, what’s special about them? :>

[uncut wolf]

One thing I also did to my GT80 case is modify the force break. I found the silicone rubber feet built into the GT80 still make the top half of the case a bit pingy

So I bought some 1mm thick adhesive-backed weather stripping foam and lined it all the way around the top half of the case on the underside

And that got rid of the ping

[urban ingot]

Nova for comparison. Same gain and mic position.

[uncut wolf]

cullinans are definitely better

The Nova test agrees with my experience with them too. They sound flat and dead as a doornail

They were nice switches just not for me

[wispy wharf]

Some people like muted

[wispy wharf]

Typeplus stabs are the most stable besides maybe fourwraps

[urban ingot]

I like the sound of the Nova a lot. I like the Diamonds a lot too. Not obnoxiously loud, but have more noise. I have to use them more before I decide which I like more.

[fluid ravine]

they are indeed

[wispy wharf]

Also they don't add much if any friction

They are a bit clacky but it's worth it

The kitting is also top notch

Love that little box

It's got heckin magnets

[untold wigeon]

few hours later

80he finally has tikkens installed

[cloud crane]

Knight clip ins early May 👀

[untold wigeon]

lowkey temped to get a F4R plate to finish it off

[cloud crane]

Go CF plate 😛

[untold wigeon]

ran out of exactly 1 stab tho

ran out of 2u wires

[untold wigeon]

oooof

Im so tempted, but I dont even use the 80he, its just sitting around

might get a 60hev2 plate tho

[cloud crane]

👀

[untold wigeon]

I just got new switches and stabs set

I used the left over stabs on the 80he and the old tikken switches

so the financial responsibility says no, but I mean

I could use a new plate to get the RGB to reflect off well, I already love the sound of FR4 plate

[cloud crane]

FR4 half plate 🤤

[untold wigeon]

do you know if you can paint a FR4 plate......

maybe spray paint

[tulip rapids]

this is on fr4 plate?

[urban ingot]

Yes

[wispy wharf]

Why is fr4 plate the new meta

[urban ingot]

I got it because the PC plate was too soft for my liking. I like the sound of PC more, I just don’t like the feel of it. I may get a CF plate for my 80HE, but it would be purely for cosmetic reasons. I have CF in both of my 60 v2’s. I can’t tell a difference in sound or feel over FR4 that they come with. But it sure looks cool.

[magic forge]

are UFO's bottom out force 50g? or is operation force = bottom out aswell?

[marsh saffron]

Omg mr beast

long time no see

what next mods do you plan to do with your board

[calm pulsar]

6 or 7 layer tape mod

[candid bramble]

oh wait time to upgrade my shitbox of a keyboard (lucky65 v2)

i have like 3 dif type of swithces in the board

and mismatched keycaps set on there

[regal patio]

Nova's work better with a thicker keycap set

[sacred elm]

40 initial 50 bottom out, but they feel heavier than that tbh

[sacred elm]

This happens with my GMK spacebar, for me it's even worse so I just use small piece of tape on stabilizer stems to make it tighter. Works well

[stone wharf]

does aluminum split space bar sound different from a normal aluminum space bar ?

[thorn zealot]

yes

split space will always sound diff than norm space

[urban ingot]

I have yet to find a thick set I liked the feel of. I think I prefer the lighter ones because of the texture. I have cerakeys and some thicker Drop sets. The smoothness of them makes me cringe. Maybe I'd be happy with the matte cerakeys.

Or at least I like the feeling of the KKB keys. I tend to gravitate towards their sets on all of my keyboards.

[calm pulsar]

@glacial wind the reverb you talked about on diamonds can be reduced by spring swapping to og flux springs

shafie suggested it after I already lubed 70 cullinan springs

[glacial wind]

Just swap to 90g springs. Can’t reverb if you can’t push switches down

[sacred elm]

[calm pulsar]

I used to use 70g springs in jade knights and I still have a pack of lekker 100 lying around lol

[chilly mural]

better late than never

[slow storm]

I just checked the price and shipping. The shipping is minimum $34.44 - that's more than the kit itself 😭

[glacial wind]

Butt diffuser acquired

[calm pulsar]

now its safe to say this switch is ass

[glacial wind]

i believe the kids call it 'thick'

or 'thiccc' with 3 c

[broken notch]

I wish it farted when you pressed it

Just a lil toot

[glossy pagoda]

Living up to your name, Patoot

[signal dagger]

you could supply your own toots every time you press it

[tall elk]

What is the difference between 40gf v 50gf v 60gf ?

[glacial wind]

lower number = lighter to press

for reference, old cherry mx switches are roughly 60g

[tall elk]

Ahh i see

Right now i fat finger my stock wooting 80he

I think stock is the lekker v2 switches

So i would say that 40gf is a no go for me the

I shall see what the gf for the lekker medium switches are

Oh so apparently the medium switches are also 42mm starting.

So ill probably pick the geon raw and wait for the new zinc cases to come out

[glacial wind]

starting is not ending force just fyi. Geon raw list ending force

[sacred elm]

40g is a bottom out FYI

their initial force is around 27g

[tall elk]

Oh damn

[glacial wind]

Lekker L60 = 60g, the 60 means the ending force

[sacred elm]

60g Raw is heavier than L60 v2, initially

45g vs 40g

Also what is that price

$140 for 90 Raws?

[tall elk]

Oh wait

The switches on wooting 80he are the L60 so the starting gf is 40?

[sacred elm]

Yes

[tall elk]

Australia price in a nutshell

Modding the wooting is almost at the same price as buying it stock

Lol

[sacred elm]

Maybe you can find some switches cheaper on AliExpress

That's too much

[tall elk]

Yeah ill have a look on there

I think with the wrist rest i dont fat finger any keys when gaming at 0.4 actuation

But without it its fat fingering galore lmao

Anyway, im just looking around till the new zinc case is out and hopefully i will begin my modding journey

My end goal is to hopefully have the keyboard sounding a bit mute but creamy.

Quiet enough to avoid disturbing the lil ones at night

[sacred elm]

You probably won't like Raws then, they're a bit loud and clacky

[tall elk]

Yeah, thats like another thing im worried about too

[sacred elm]

Do you have 80HE?

[tall elk]

Because like i wasnt that big of a fan of the wooting 80he sound tests stock in the videos. But after i got the keyboard the sound was very different to what it sounded like in the videos

[tall elk]

Yeah, 80he

[tall elk]

I actually liked how it sounded lol

[sacred elm]

I think you should try Tikkens. They are heavier than L60 initially

If they're still too light for you, you can order heavier Lekker springs and spring swap Tikkens

[tall elk]

So this one - https://ausmodshop.com/products/wooting-lekker-tikken-medium-switches?srsltid=AfmBOopzY3wsa1_L3vUsEiySHhVM-HCP68rLCfbgcBmxwiX8nE5uOH3A

[sacred elm]

Yeah, and this https://ausmodshop.com/products/wooting-lekker-switch-spring-packs?variant=47392534528254, but 70-80g is out of stock atm

[tall elk]

I see - it looks like the L70s may be the way to go if the tikken medium switches are still too light

ty for the help - ill save these

[sacred elm]

Yep, you'll probably like Tikkens with 70g springs. Also they're not loud like Raws

[tall elk]

if i do have to swap springs that would mean I would need to lube them too right

[sacred elm]

Springs? Preferably

[quick finch]

i feel like i'm taking crazy pills i dont find raws that loud at all

[sacred elm]

compared to Tikkens they are a bit loud imo

[quick finch]

hm would have to try, i have an 80HE with raws and PC plate and it's a lot quieter than the other one i have with fr4 plate and tikkens, but maybe it's the plate that makes the tikkens louder

[sacred elm]

yeah plate

[quick finch]

i guess that makes sense

[calm pulsar]

denser plate generally means louder/brighter sound

[tall elk]

theres a lube and molykote set on ausmodshop - whats the molykote set used for?

https://ausmodshop.com/products/wooting-switch-lube-set-krytox-205g0-molykote-em-50l?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=e09c0f8c0&pr_rec_pid=9015663722750&pr_ref_pid=8312808734974&pr_seq=uniform

[sacred elm]

Molykote is for stabilizer wires, not for switches

[tall elk]

is that for stabilisers or an alternative to lubing switches

ah i see

[sacred elm]

For springs you need gpl 105 or 205g0

[tall elk]

it does mention stabiliser wire, wasnt too sure what that meant

[ionic breach]

the wire that connects the left and right stab on long keys like spacebar

[tropic urchin]

PC plate mutes like 90% of the sound of the board so checks out

[marsh knoll]

guys i've kinda missed new switch releases, are all those diamonds etc better than ufos?

or more of a sidegrade at best

Question, does anyone know if Wooting offers replacement feet for the Alumaze60 case?

Because I lost mine in travel, and now the board is annoying as hell to type on

[calm pulsar]

they probably do, email them
alternatively you can get bump-on silicone feet

[teal hill]

bumpons would be useless in this case :,)

Cuz the bottom ones raise it pretty high already

[calm pulsar]

you could remove all feet and stick bumpons to any location, but better ask wooting for replacement feet

[teal hill]

Aight, which email do I mail em at?

[sacred elm]

https://support.wooting.io

[teal hill]

Awesome, thanks.

Wait, I won this case at a keyboard meetup so I dont have an order number

[teal hill]

205 on springs is giga cursed

[next oak]

just wondering if someone have put wooting pcb on kbdcraft lego case like adam or lilith

[teal hill]

@sacred elm unless donut dipping its so much effort doing 205 vs just bag lubing with 105

[sacred elm]

Hmm, not sure then. You can try checking "My order is not listed", then type Alumaze there and explain your situation to support

Can't guarantee they'll help without the order # but you can try

[teal hill]

I see. Wooting themselves were at the meetup as well so if needed I can probably seek help in a way from the event organiser if this falls through

[magic forge]

ive got stiff, arthritis type sort of left hands. that they actually feel alright to me hahah those lighter switchers feel too sensitive after trying out ufos. looking to try out something else like owlabs, or raptor he v2 for a lighter one

[verbal tusk]

hi i'm looking to commission a wooting 60he+ build in a kbdfans holy60 white case. does anyone know a good website/place to go for build services like that with also the usual mods like foam and switch lubing too? i just don't have the time or want to mod one myself so wondering if that's something common people do/offer

[little glen]

You dont need hand lubed switches

Building a 60he+/v2 in holy60 is a thing you can do very quickly

With the money you save on hiring someone to do it for you, you could upgrade from a 60he+ to a v2

[glacial wind]

Doesn’t really exist much in western world, but honest if it’s a v2 it would take literally 10-15 mins to build a custom Wooting nowadays

Foam mods are not necessary as we pre modded all the foam and tape etc for you with the module sandwich already

China has a ton of shops that would do it for you though, but mod shops are much more rare in western countries

[teal hill]

where are you based?

[verbal tusk]

united kingdom

im from france but im in the uk for the next like 2 months with family

[uncut wolf]

It barely takes any time to simply drop the module in the case, stick the switches in the plate and put the keycaps in

The time it would take to merely consult someone to do this for you would be more than simply doing it yourself

[dawn silo]

has anyone ever tried the Pantheonkeys x SquashyBoy switches?

[glacial wind]

They’re mostly just a modified raptor v2 style switch from Hmx

Not bad but not what most would consider top tier either

[untold wigeon]

they are stupid expensive if you live in Europe or NA, Ive been meaning to try em

appearntly theres gonna be a group buy soon for those markets so fingers crossed

[solar tundra]

Any1 know if there are any Rakka60 PCBs available in Europe?

[robust siren]

you can try buying it out of japan

otherwise its just china or using forwarders/resellers

hi all, i was gonna pick up a wooting 80he module with lekker tikken switches since my current kb broke but unfortunately theyre out of stock till june 30th. What other switches would u all recommend?

[calm pulsar]

must be that MX pcb sounds better

[sacred elm]

#🪛│modding_faq

[fluid ravine]

JUST to prove that if the bottom out frequency is high enough, it can mask the top out like an HMX switch.

[timid kraken]

Anybody knows, if when you use pe foam on top of the pcb, like in the torontokeyboardman modding kit. That you use something in the software that it doesn't affect performance? like switch and spacer setting!?!

[fluid ravine]

Cus MX top out is just as bad as HE
I SWEAR

Well for some of the clacky switches

[fluid ravine]

@cloud crane

[sacred elm]

Nothing you can do, PE foam on the PCB will always affect the accuracy

[calm pulsar]

I can see how that can be a thing
HE might still be a bit more noticeable cause the stem is bigger and might produce more sound

[fluid ravine]

Thats true, volume wise based on surface area and contact, the volume would be more open and accentuated making it a bit more noticeable

[timid kraken]

Alright, thank you. Thought you could fix it with the software somehow. So i willl not use it.

[calm pulsar]

@fluid ravine

about to try CF for the first time

[fluid ravine]

oh shi you got culls?

[calm pulsar]

yea

[little glen]

who up rn carboning they fiber

[harsh dove]

my fiber is already carboned

[calm pulsar]

but is your carbon fibered

[tropic urchin]

what is this goop crodie

[harsh dove]

my carbon is fibering the carboned fibers

[tropic urchin]

jade maxes on CF plate smh

[calm pulsar]

the promised jade max

[harsh dove]

The Carboning Fibering

[tropic urchin]

7u skibidi space bar too

[harsh dove]

woah

[tropic urchin]

what happened to you @calm pulsar

[harsh dove]

skibidu?

[calm pulsar]

scooby doo

[little glen]

i really want to get a full set of cullinans

[waxen trout]

are there any switches that are objectively better than the lekker tikkens

?

[sly palm]

#🪛│modding_faq

[waxen trout]

ive looked through that

already

[sacred elm]

Stability wise yes

[sly palm]

and stability you can find on this

and there https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[little glen]

🐴 represent

[waxen trout]

dumb to overthink abt this lowkey ima just go with the tikkens off a 3rd party

[tropic urchin]

Begone silicone

[little glen]

Holy

Pls give mission report on how it went

[calm pulsar]

based

[little glen]

With the silicone not beint attached and all on the sides

[tropic urchin]

My rage knows no bounds

Either it goes well or Mr mark gets my post card early

[little glen]

We should design a custom 80he case

Plate mounted gasket or maybe tadpole mount

[tropic urchin]

Vella80 )

ngl kinda scared to cut my poron

not like im gonna use this anyway but

[fluid ravine]

@calm pulsar

maybe a different mx switch would be better to compare

but im too lazy to go through my closet and find one

[tulip rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/dune-dune-part-2-stilgar-fremen-disbelief-gif-17405899726704623697

[calm pulsar]

soundwise not even that far tbh, MX is a bit clearer and marblier I think still, and the topout is similar on spacebar

[fluid ravine]

yeeeap

color me impress

tho sunset gleams are pretty thin and bright

[tropic urchin]

@little glen imma be real

Just never use the silicone gasket

It’ll be easier that way 😭

[little glen]

We need a pcbsnap compatible 80he case

[tropic urchin]

legit turbo ass

REAL

legit cant get 80HE to sound better than my vella with ocean hearts

[wispy wharf]

i don't think i can make this 80he sound and feel any better to me than it currently does but i did order a ghost bar from nuphy

@glacial wind I did not care for the Jades compared to the deep clacky

I still like the poseidons unfortunately

[tulip rapids]

we failed the experiment with this one?

[fluid ravine]

unfortunately

[tropic urchin]

i prefer it more but you legit gotta not run any silicone to make it work

vs vella is super marbly

i think its wraps

[fluid ravine]

whats your current build on bella and 80he

[tropic urchin]

Geon case and plate foam, alu and hoecians heart on Lazurite

clacky and poppy type shii

[marsh saffron]

what the fuck are switch names

[tulip rapids]

is that even possible

[tropic urchin]

80HE is now CF plate + poron gasket but idk

[tulip rapids]

[tropic urchin]

sorry bababababababao oceans heart

i dont make the names i just roll with it

[tropic urchin]

by buying the poron gasket like ive been telling you saiyan

[tulip rapids]

DX

doesnt it move

like cray cray

[tropic urchin]

sacrifices have to be made

[tulip rapids]

but i collected all the dragon balls

[tropic urchin]

or dont buy diamonds for silicone use

[tulip rapids]

yeah maybe keep dcf

[tropic urchin]

i dont think silicone plays well with double PC housing

silicone ass cheeks in general but if you got a keyboard full of it its cringe af

[tulip rapids]

true

damn benom tkl was the way but they were sold out at the time

😔

[tropic urchin]

as a canadian you should be sticking to 60% )

[fluid ravine]

itd be nice to have one right now

i want a tkl

[tulip rapids]

yea but it felt like something was missing and got tired of tofu

with 80he i been loving it beside the silicone gasket

i dont want to go back to 60%

🫵

[tropic urchin]

i guess its PBT and CF plate for 80HE lyfe

[tulip rapids]

How you doing big bois?

[wispy wharf]

[tropic urchin]

so we're raw dogging the switches now

[wispy wharf]

bro ain't even got caps

[sly palm]

He touching diamonds with his bare hands.. he rich

[wispy wharf]

you've heard of plateless now prepare for capless

[tropic urchin]

bring out the one color keycaps so i get triggered

[wispy wharf]

caseless plateless capless

[calm pulsar]

I like it raw

[wispy wharf]

just a pcb and some switches

[tropic urchin]

alr bud

[calm pulsar]

if you dont know where your keys are its just a skill issue

[sly palm]

Nahh you forgot switchless, just use a magnet

[tropic urchin]

next thing you're going to say you like PBT for the sound

[sweet oak]

magnet only gaming

[sly palm]

Jade pros best sound

In the trash can

[tropic urchin]

[wispy wharf]

seriously are pbt plates a real thing

[calm pulsar]

now you didnt have to ruin a string of jokes like that😭

[robust siren]

[trim void]

hey guys quick question, is the friction fit pad for the 60HE compatible with the ISO layout?

[fluid ravine]

yes

[trim void]

coool

[fallen pecan]

More 60v2 plate variants: for non split, black carbon with gold/purple flecks and forged carbon, for split, just forged carbon

Also pink

[calm pulsar]

I asked them to make more split plates the other day, and that's how they respond

[tulip rapids]

)))))

[tulip rapids]

what happened to the dragonball logo

[fallen pecan]

launching on the ws site soon, price per unit is $1.2 for the buy3get2, $1.5 for the buy64get20

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/diamond-switches-ws-flux-series-babao-series?variant=48253926768810

[glacial wind]

That’s nice. So they are doing the China launch pricing

[calm pulsar]

cullinans on CF plate with gmk keycaps is very nice

[fluid ravine]

gotta drop dat sound test

[calm pulsar]

I will record a video soon, maybe will do v2 case and frog mini, but for frog I need to wait for the conductive sponge to arrive for grounding

[robust siren]

rawdog it

[humble surge]

The quantity choices are so bad for these sadly

[robust siren]

@calm pulsar did you see my clicky caps lock key

[young viper]

cheaper on keybay too lol

[robust siren]

@young viper ^

its beri clicky

[calm pulsar]

thats was yours on 80he?

[robust siren]

yeah lol

[calm pulsar]

yeah that was tuff😭

how did it happen

[robust siren]

[humble surge]

Goofish is cheap, but they have 68 max there too, even with our sample packs, thats a few keys short...

[robust siren]

i dont even know

it just… does it

i swapped switches

and it does the same thing

i do genuinely think its the plate

im forever cursed with clicky mods and clicky spacebar

[calm pulsar]

maybe the switch is moving around in the plate lol

[fluid ravine]

is it a single slot capslock?

and how easy are you able to take out the switch?

[robust siren]

wat

[fluid ravine]

nvm
i just noticed it was your 80he

[cloud crane]

https://youtu.be/rwDd1WGN2M0
Can frog mini regain its aura

[robust siren]

i need to use puller and quite a bit of force

[fluid ravine]

yk how like some plates come with like stepped caps and normal caps

so they have to make the hole bigger

rather than just one?

anyways

[fluid ravine]

yeah youre def cursed

[fluid ravine]

i see bumpon feets

[cloud crane]

Bumpons goated

[calm pulsar]

when did it lose aura

[cloud crane]

I'm just kidding

[calm pulsar]

nice build, I love the frog color, but caps are kinda out of place for this color imo

[fluid ravine]

frick pc plate

[cloud crane]

Lol

[fluid ravine]

negative aura

[robust siren]

this one isnt my fault

[tender anchor]

received the PBTfans with cherry profile

insane difference compared to OEM

the cherrys are definitely my type, didnt know it made that big of a difference

thank you guys for the recommendations here ❤️

[glacial wind]

so good news and bad news for those old neo lavender fans

good news we confirmed they are not clones of gateron jade using our machine testing. Bad news they perform worse than the og gateron jades lol

[uneven cradle]

hey bad news for them good news for my jades

[calm pulsar]

its over lavender bros

some v2 pics

[little glen]

why are their quantities so weird 😭

Dam(a)n

[little glen]

that looks cool but maybe a little overdesigned

i'll need to see some more angles of it

[glacial wind]

I wish there were some simple cases

Just give me optimum 80he

[sacred elm]

[hard fern]

agreed but maybe a bit smaller bezels for the 80he version

[calm pulsar]

another square looking one which is nice, but again with too many extra details that put off lol

[hard fern]

might leave my tikkens behind in the near future, the top out rattle squelch ain't my jam

will miss the 4mm travel tho

[calm pulsar]

if you're using stock keycaps or other OEM profile, it contributes to the top rattle a bit

but yea there are more stable switches

[hard fern]

i've tried cherries, i like maining ASA tho

which definitely doesn't help the issue

[calm pulsar]

the taller it is the more wobble there would be technically, so you might need the stablest of em all lol

[sacred elm]

Tried spring swapping? Long springs can have some pinging noise on top out

[hard fern]

definitely something i can look into, dreading putting some time into it but i should since i do want a lighter switch as well

[sacred elm]

Geon pingless springs are good

You can try that

[hard fern]

thanks for the rec, will take a look!

[left depot]

I like the colour :)

[chilly mural]

We need another content creator/val pro to make it

[calm pulsar]

there's this wow player Snomie, maybe he can come up with one

split 80he

[glacial wind]

i wish i had that power

[merry jungle]

Thinking of changing the case to gt80, which color do you guys think would fit better with these caps? Or are there better alternatives available

[verbal tusk]

so if i want to do a custom build of the 60he+ with the kbdfans holy 60 case should i just get the 60he+ standalone module or the normal 60he+ and take it apart myself

[sacred elm]

module

[verbal tusk]

[dire crystal]

Hey guys, need some advice. Is it better to get the Wooting double-shot keycaps and laser engrave them (or is that a bad idea?), or should I just order a separate set with my secondary language from a third-party brand straight away?

[fallen pecan]

cerakey shan60 prebuilt, 8k polling 64k scan the usual, ceramic caps + case, 2000 yuan: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1046800338449

[tender anchor]

for me the ghost is the best one tho

[tender anchor]

these keycaps looks really good tho but big at the same time

those are OEMs?

[hard fern]

asa caps so yes they are a little taller

[worldly marsh]

🙂

[regal patio]

Perfect color match

[craggy light]

whats the sound difference compared to aluminum

guys are the ufos worth it over pink flux

[glacial wind]

totally personal preferences there

we don't know what your goal is or what you want

[craggy light]

i have the pink flux rn on my 60hev2

[glacial wind]

then what are you aiming for if you want ufo?

[cyan lark]

https://tenor.com/view/thocky-thock-keyboard-enthusiast-custom-keyboard-gif-23191651

[craggy light]

yup

[bronze holly]

Can you add low profile keycaps to a wooting 60HE+ ?? Just made a community support post but figured I’d ask here as well.

Seen a Reddit post saying yes but I wanna double check. Any help appreciated!!!

[glacial wind]

neither is really 'thock' so it'd be a sidegrade

[cyan lark]

You can but it'll look kinda silly

like this

[worldly marsh]

I prefer it much more to the aluminum

[glacial wind]

just ordered another gmk black snail set, hooray

[craggy light]

i would like to know how the keyboard would sound with the new translucent case rather than aluminum

[cyan lark]

I don't even have one set, leave some for the rest of us

[worldly marsh]

I felt like I heard much more spacebar rattle before, sounds crisp now with the silicone

[glacial wind]

it's important to have a backup

[cyan lark]

an engineering mindset

[craggy light]

do you have the blue one or regular

[worldly marsh]

Now I just need to find a deskpad that matches it better, I wish ltt mousepad had more colors

[bronze holly]

Is that your own keyboard?

If so how do you like it?

[cyan lark]

No

[bronze holly]

Apart from looks

Damn

Thanks tho

[cyan lark]

My aqua is arriving on Monday. Mostly looking forward to a summery theme to pair w/ the nicer weather 😎 🌴 🌊

i also want to get aqua kinda

[cyan lark]

all the cool kids are 😉

[craggy light]

the thing is it kinda messes up with the rgb because its blue

i cant decide

[cyan lark]

messes with or makes more blue, the objectively best color?

[hard fern]

said the guy with the wrong character in his profile pic

Stop saying bro, try bud instead

[rotund perch]

what kind of sound profile does a carbon fiber plate create compared to like an fr4 plate

[cyan lark]

Did I miss free moneys again 😭

[rotund perch]

yup

[cyan lark]

CF is very hard, so higher pitched and clackier

[rotund perch]

ok ty

cause I was thinking of changing my plate eventually

I bought an fr4 one but it didn't come with enough screws unfortunately

[cyan lark]

Can't hurt to try! FR4 is fairly in-the-middle on hardness

[rotund perch]

first getting a new pc though

then will get some things for my keeb

[cyan lark]

ouch, not the best time for that

[rotund perch]

yeah true

but it's gonna last pretty long so

thinking of getting a gt-80 as that's the only case that isnt really mega expensive

ofc switches i used to be here when dcfs were like the peak

now i see there's new ones

[cyan lark]

I'm still using them 🧓

[rotund perch]

i was thinking of getting the keytok novas as they really look good to me

[sacred elm]

They're still very good

Newer switches are just sidegrade

[rotund perch]

i'd guess so considering it wasn't that long ago

and now cullinans are popular

i guess wuque are just goated at making he switches

ok but whoever thought of the keytok nova packaging is a menace

apparently each switch has its own little plastic container

[little glen]

@glacial wind are the blood diamonds just a recolor or do they have some other difference

[rotund perch]

i used to think that i never used a hard plate but i forgot 60he uses a steel plate iirc

[cyan lark]

The original, yeah. The 60HE+ change to PC

[rotund perch]

yeah I had the original

idk when i bought it

[sacred elm]

Recolored Cullinan most likely

[little glen]

Idk if i‘m super interested in them then cause i dont really want something to tint all my rgb red

[sacred elm]

Module only, 60HE+ prebuilt uses steel

[little glen]

For the launch offer

[cyan lark]

Really! TIL

[little glen]

I‘d have to get the 64 pack, and 2 5 packs to kinda fit my 80he

💀

[rotund perch]

ngl im surprised keytok made really good switches (apparently) as they're primarily a keycap company right

[craggy light]

its such a shame that you still cannot buy a custom plate for the 60he v2 in eu

[lilac inlet]

Should i switch this default plate to something more visually matching?

[little glen]

There are ways

[craggy light]

how

i wanted to get from toronto keyboard but the shipping is as expensive as the product lmao

i NEED a cf one

[sacred elm]

https://keebox.store/collections/plate

[rotund perch]

Gosh I want the gt-80 so bad

[sacred elm]

also v2 compatible CF plate is on AliExpress, if you have split

[craggy light]

rip

[cyan lark]

If you don't have split, what were you thinking?

💪

[sacred elm]

Just order one on Keebox, plate files are on github

[lilac inlet]

it's quite nice so far

[sacred elm]

[sly palm]

The split is amazing

[tropic urchin]

The true winners

[glossy pagoda]

My aquamarine silicone case will deliver Friday, any ideas on keycaps to go with it?
I'm thinking something like a green marbly pattern

[cyan lark]

I'm gonna have my Salt Lakes on it, I think it'll look nice and beachy. Will post on Monday when it arrives. https://kbdfans.com/products/pbfans-salt-lakes

[lilac inlet]

couldn't even buy a split version when i got the 60he :<

[sly palm]

I am honestly kinda curious how kkb Sojus look with it

[glossy pagoda]

Ooeh that looks nice

[glossy pagoda]

Hmm not sure about the blue/green clash

[sly palm]

I might pick up the aquamarine if it's not getting sold out too soon

I like the color

[tropic urchin]

Something something topographical

[sly palm]

But the exposed switches are not my thing

[glacial wind]

there's no information on materials so we can only guess really

[lilac inlet]

for the emperor

[cyan lark]

Zealot bloodlust does not vibe w/ switchy floating in a pool 😨

[sweet oak]

It should be crunchy

[cyan lark]

jesus

[tropic urchin]

Yes my son?

[cyan lark]

whoever created this needs to go in the hole

[sacred elm]

[little glen]

Ah i thought you had some but maybe i misremember

[glacial wind]

nah they basically just randomly included them but no info with them

[chilly mural]

it's fine, I'm sure it'll be forgotten in a week or two

[lilac inlet]

what about black pudding, you could have mostly ultramarine with some offset from the black top

could go with white top too, just an idea

[glossy pagoda]

Might be one of the better uses for pudding keycaps, but they've never been my style 😅

[lilac inlet]

https://www.kromekeycaps.com/collections/pudding-keycaps-single-colour/products/iso-ansi-pudding-light-blue-pbt-keycaps even found a company that makes colored puddings

[oak jewel]

pudding keycaps always look a bit cheap to me

not my aesthetic ig

[glacial wind]

lelelab hokkaido probably looks real nice on the frost case https://swagkeys.com/products/lelelab-hokkaido-white-keycap

fits the aesthetic quite nicely

[glossy pagoda]

Those would be great for frost

But aquamarine requires a bit more pizzazz

[glacial wind]

actually their blue set would look nice on aquamarine too

https://www.lelelab.store/products/lelelab-ocean-blue-low-profile-keycaps-set

but i wonder if it's too blue

since aquamarine is a little green

[glossy pagoda]

Indeed

[cyan lark]

White could be nice, the aqua brings a lot of pizazz on its own. I dug my blue alumaze w/ BoW

[urban ingot]

I ordered the white silicone case. I figured it would go better with the Soju I have. I guess I'll find out today.

Wow, trying to pull Tikken out of the CF plate on my 60 v2 sheered off the switch pulling tabs on my Gateron 3-in-1. I guess I should have just used my TX from the get go.

[river vine]

for what its worth i had a hard time getting them out as well

[earnest token]

Any suggestions?

[urban ingot]

I should have just left the UFO in it until my new switches arrived. I was just being impatient and wanted to put something other than the UFO in it. I got all of the Tikken out, but my fingers are killing me now after using a TX puller to get the rest of the switches out.

[lilac inlet]

yeah i had to remove all lekkers from my 80he this week and it was more of a task than i expected

it feels like sometimes only one of the two clips gets pressed in so it's very difficult to wiggle it out without yanking it

[regal patio]

I had to disassemble the wooting 60he v2 to remove the novas

They fit way to tightly in the stock FR4 plate

And they fit to loosely in the POM plate

[rotund perch]

how are the novas?

[regal patio]

Great

They sound kinda "thocky"

For HE

The nova's are very stable too

[rotund perch]

i was thinking of getting them

[regal patio]

They have a slightly "soft" sound that's very enjoyable

[regal patio]

Well on Toronto KeyboardMan their are sold from 12$ per 10

And on Keytok website with a discount code they are ~11 per 10

[rotund perch]

o

[urban ingot]

I ordered Six realm to put into my 60 v2. That was before I ordered the Cullinans. The Cullinans arrived before the Six Realms did and I just ended up putting the Nova that got replaced by the Cullinans in the 60 v2.

The next time I swap switches in that 60 v2 is when I plate swap to the plate that came with the Zoom64. So I figured "why not?"

[ruby hill]

Is the optimum case compatible with venom using pcbsnap?

[river vine]

i mean if its a standard 60% layout theoretically it should fit

[lilac inlet]

Should i switch this default plate to something more visually matching?
i was thinking of silver CF but it may look tacky, maybe black+gold fp4/basic black pom/fp4 if i can find them

it's been pretty tricky even finding these plates online so far

[ruby hill]

Find some silver alu plate

[lilac inlet]

i can make it custom with keebox, but i have like no idea what i need to pay attention to

i can make it alu anodized dark grey though

[urban ingot]

I want to get the regular CF plate for my 80HE. I have the same case as you, but I'm using the Nichirin keycap set so its a darker look.

I have the black/gold FR4 plate currently.

[lilac inlet]

i have nichirins on the way but i think they sent my package by boat 😭

[urban ingot]

I posted a picture a couple of days ago of the Cullinans in my 80HE. You can see what the black/gold FR4 plate looks like in the grey GT80 in that picture.

[lilac inlet]

i think the plate itself looks alright but the flex cut is not my type of thing

also allows more debris to get inside i guess

with a solid plate i can blow out most dust with a can of compressed air

[robust siren]

none of the plates you sent have flex cuts?

[cloud crane]

Alexotos building wooting on stream 👀
https://www.youtube.com/live/ZhW04IlQpOk

[lilac inlet]

well the plates that you buy with foam on the picture are not flex cut, but the separate plate is
at least on the torontokeyboardman website https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-80he-modding-kit?variant=44513538375875

[robust siren]

i mean you can always look at aliexpress for this

thats where tkbm gets his stuff from anyways, aliexpress and taobao
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807856398027.html?

and if you want the foam mod kit https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808889446894.html?

[lilac inlet]

oh damn, that's good to know thanks!

i'm thinking to change the plate since the 80he plate is pretty soft and my old 60he has a really sturdy plate, i like when the keyboard is not bouncy

[rotund perch]

irdk how i feel about the plate

i havent tested with 80he

i would if when i bought my plate i had enough screws

but i forgot about it so

[lilac inlet]

can't you just use the screws that are either delivered with a new plate or the old screws that are holding your keyboard together?

[rotund perch]

maybe idk

[lilac inlet]

these are the screws that hold the plate to the pcb

i don't see why you can't reuse them :>

and if you do get alternate plate with different screwholes/threads, they should most likely include these 15 screws

[sweet oak]

If you can’t reuse can always crunch

[rotund perch]

how do plates usually get mounted i forgot

[glacial wind]

alex likes split best for gaming, i knew he was a smart man

[lilac inlet]

pcb mounted to switch plate>rubber bouncy layer inbetween>switch plate mounted to pcb>switch>keycap in that order

[rotund perch]

ah

[lilac inlet]

so if the aftermarket plate manufacturer respects and copies the exact screw holes, threads and positions - it should work with the old screws no problem

you can probably get away without a few of these screws but i am not sure if anyone is looking for unintended board flex

[cloud crane]

Waiting for alex to put the wooting into his schema prototype

[glacial wind]

he's right, the stabs are such a big benefit of split spacebar honestly

[little glen]

What is he gonna do with it

[glacial wind]

no large spacebar to rattle around

[little glen]

Swap switches etc?

[glacial wind]

no idea, i assume this is a build for someone

[little glen]

Next time there‘s an event of some sort y‘all should have him build a custom board to give away

[chilly mural]

fr, I wanna see 80he split custom build

[little glen]

I hope he pulls out some fluxies or something

(Not watching the stream)

[cloud crane]

He might use the xvx ec/he switch

[glacial wind]

he charges for custom builds and has timeline and such iirc

[little glen]

[glacial wind]

since it's stream content for him to build the commissions

[little glen]

Yeah i mean if you could time something around halloween for example

Yk

A bit further out

[glacial wind]

it's mostly if it'd be worth it since it'd be a lot of coordination to get it done on time vs. just we build it ourselves if we wanted

[chilly mural]

maybe Sno can take the helm, custom woot build by Sno

[little glen]

Collab stream

HE discussion/interview with content creators as a series

[glacial wind]

I like alexotos but his audience isn't super HE based either, it's a very mx sided audience and coordination is always way trickier than people expect

[little glen]

Where they can give suggestions on stream (would also be a good place to announce product collabs)

[glacial wind]

a lot of the stuff you always suggest is stuff we have planned lol

like the entire reason for the podcast format is we want to expand into other guests not just wooting staff too

[little glen]

Maybe i‘m secretly reading through your slack messages

[glacial wind]

the thing is a lot of the stuff is planned but has to wait for certain timings

[little glen]

Yeah that was what i was thinking with this one

[glacial wind]

because it's basically each suggestion is you're giving someone a job for 2 weeks

which means they can't do their other job for 2 weeks

[little glen]

[glacial wind]

and some relies on tech side, like how we have a lot of content series that can't happen until we have a mod section of the website

[little glen]

I am a job creator

[glacial wind]

well it's good and bad right, because sometimes we just don't have the time to shove more things into our timeline lol

so things have to be weighed against 'what project are you working on' and 'does moving x person to this justify them not working on y'

[little glen]

Luckily the content team being too busy doesnt slow down development on the split space 80he + num pad combo as well as the split ergo board

All of which surely exist

[glacial wind]

like right now for example my tmr blog needs some graphics made for it, but our graphic guy is on another project this week at last minute

so it pushes the tmr blog back another week waiting for that

[little glen]

The one thing i can say for sure is that 100he is never coming

[glacial wind]

there's a lot of random stuff like that where sometimes you're just waiting for a timing window to do some stuff

[sly palm]

I need that

[little glen]

Yeah that makes sense

[chilly mural]

same, then hope a lot of people talk about it

[glacial wind]

like right now my modding section of my website is annoyingly going slow because we launched another language part of our website, so our web dev is busy working on those pages

[little glen]

There should be a mc parkour version of the blog post like the video we have right now, also with terrible machine voicing etc

Mispronouncing shit and all

But honestly one of the #💬│general shitposters will probably do that on their own

[worldly marsh]

The blue one

[glacial wind]

i actually agree with him, geon raws still sound good even if they're not that popular now

I still have them in an old 60he+ sitting around somewhere and it sounds great

people recommending ufo to him is hilarious though, because there's no way someone into MX is going to love ufo

the issues with them really matter to mx enthusiast folks

[sacred elm]

yeah this community still loves raws, but maybe that's cause they haven't used newer ones yet

[uncut wolf]

I really wish UFO's were lubeabe

They're excellent otherwise

[glacial wind]

their tight feeling is going to be big no go for most enthusiast folks

[sweet oak]

Funny you mention raws cause i had some get their legs stuck in my 60he

While i was swapping

[sacred elm]

[uncut wolf]

By tightness are you referring to scratchiness or how 'heavy' they feel?

[glacial wind]

the heavy feel

[uncut wolf]

I like that in a switch

[glacial wind]

they're 50g bottom but feel like 60g no matter what you do, which enthusiasts will not love that tight feeling

[uncut wolf]

I guess I'm a fake enthusiast then

[glacial wind]

you're more on HE side probably, which is fine too

i'm mostly talking about die hard mx folks

folks who are spending thousands on mx keyboards and such

they aren't picking based on stability like UFO focus on

[uncut wolf]

I am also a fake MX enthusiast, apparently

[glacial wind]

oh you're a rare mx guy who likes ufo?

that's interesting

usually walled by itself is a big no go for most mx folks

[uncut wolf]

As far as I'm concerned if it sounds good and feels good, it is good.

That's subjective. But the hobby would be boring if everyone's definition of good was the same

[sweet oak]

And the led diffusor also came out lol

[glacial wind]

well yeah, i'm generalising of course

[sacred elm]

Yeah that was annoying when I used Raws too

[glacial wind]

i'd wager if you put 9/10 mx folks into a room probably most would hate the UFO, but nothing wrong if your preference is different

[sacred elm]

Some diffusers are still somewhere in my room

[broken notch]

Biding their time...

[uncut wolf]

I can't wait to get rid of these UFO's tho

Cause it's only a matter of time before they feel like garbage when the lube dries out

But the Cullinans have been delayed

[sacred elm]

Yeah, my UFOs feel and sound very dry now after using them for months

[uncut wolf]

It's a shame. They feel lovely when they're brand new

[tropic urchin]

We love us some inconsistent factory lubing

Don’t worry we got an ass diffuser now even tho it can’t be opened fire gravastar

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

lol he's stuck finding 1.25u

he has joined the gmk issue

[sacred elm]

He found it

[glacial wind]

it's such a pain finding 1.25u in gmk

[sacred elm]

Oh he didn't nvm

[tropic urchin]

Ocean heart prob gonna be closer if you like UFOs in terms of stability/pop while being lighter press

[lilac inlet]

https://pantheonkeys.com/products/idk-poseidon-pbt-dye-sub-keycap-set how about these, these are kinda nice

[tropic urchin]

Assuming you liked them until the lubing situation

[tulip rapids]

you like final fantasy ?

[tropic urchin]

Another 2028 set fire

[high void]

Ooooh

My

[glacial wind]

it's interesting both alexotos and dbokey love the same tx puller

the fat stubby cnc one

i never bought that one because it's like $25 and i have a billion pullers, maybe i should buy it to check it out

seems like it's a comfort thing as for why they like it

[little glen]

the multi tool one?

its good

[glacial wind]

nah

the stubby switch puller only one

multi tool too finicky i think for most people to use for multi tooling lol

mine just stays as the best keycap puller I own, but I'm not putting the tabs on and off constantly

[eager coyote]

i just ordered my ufos

[little glen]

i use it as my switch puller only

[glacial wind]

yeah exactly lol, everyone just picks one usage and they're too lazy to put the tabs on and off constantly

[little glen]

i should get my keycap puller back

[glacial wind]

and i found the switch opener part gets scuffed over time because the sizing changes over time since it's built into the handle part

[little glen]

or maybe i just buy a new ws one

if i order the diamonds anyway

[glacial wind]

just put keycap part back on and then order the cnc puller lol

[little glen]

yeah the opener seems weird

[little glen]

yeah but then i cant put it in the same cart as my diamonds

[glacial wind]

the cnc switch puller is basically like more robust version of what you get in multi tool anyway

[little glen]

ah

yeah that thing

honestly, it's probably worth it

but it wont be as good of a fidget tool

multi tool has so many little places i can stick my fingers

[broken notch]

I use the lil bear WS switch puller for switches

And for keycaps the same tbh, the flat bent metal

[glacial wind]

i'll order one next week, i need to try out more pullers anyway for our look at pullers because we are considering looking at new puller designs and such in future

[little glen]

yeah the ws keycap puller is good

[broken notch]

Their switch puller too tbh
