[little glen]

i gave mine to my brother on loan but i dont know when i'll get it back

[broken notch]

Even the most lodged switches come free

[little glen]

so i'll probably just order new ones

[broken notch]

I got this one for switches

[little glen]

yeah

heard many good things about the bear puller

[glacial wind]

yeah that's the one i use for hard to pull stuff because it gets into the grooves well

[broken notch]

My fingies do hurt after a whole keyboard

[glacial wind]

hands can get sore though, but it handles the annoying to pull tight switches well

[broken notch]

Yeah, exactly

[glacial wind]

i'll try out the stubby fat tx one next month and see how it compares on the hard to pull switches

what i'm worried about with that one is it's not as easy to get the prongs under sometimes in those fat versions

[little glen]

i think the ones with a hinge are best for ergonomics

[glacial wind]

the ws thin one works well because you can kind of dig in under the switch tabs really easily

[broken notch]

Yeah and press the tabs better

[glacial wind]

just it's not super comfy, but the thinness really makes it easy to get in there

[little glen]

maybe the stubby for bulk pulling and the ws one for difficult ones

[glacial wind]

yeah that might be the way

[broken notch]

Yeah, I'd think so

[glacial wind]

i do love my multi tool for keycaps though

no metal on metal contact and it's short and cute

[broken notch]

Some of my switches come off like with the keycaps

While others refuse

To come off at all

[glacial wind]

Way too expensive for purely a keycap puller though lol

But I respect the way overengineered solution

[broken notch]

You have a golden bear puller :o

[glacial wind]

i have a couple of the bear ones

they came free with mx boards

wuque loved to throw them in as freebies with preorders back in the old days

[little glen]

god damn

bring some to the next wootup

[sweet oak]

Can i crunch some of them @glacial wind

[glacial wind]

They are titanium so not suitable for crunching

[lilac inlet]

do you not damage the switch plate with such a hard material puller?

[broken notch]

You're touching your plate???

[lilac inlet]

well yeah but i have the basic plastic puller from wooting iirc XD

[orchid valve]

just got my hypekeyboards pp plate for the 60he+, quick dumb question: do i just screw it in with the wooting screws (it didn't come with any screws and standoffs)? or do i use standoffs + screws from another aliexpress plate kit?

[sacred elm]

second

[broken notch]

I don't touch my plate, ever :p

It's carbonfiber

[orchid valve]

ty!

[lilac inlet]

very nice, yeah if i have such a plate i would be more careful but with the pc you'd barely see it anyway

i don't really like this basic switch puller, i need to get a new one

https://kbdfans.com/products/gateron-twins-diy-tool-switch-puller-keycap-puller-integrated?variant=42577479205003 this looks like it could be goated or finnicky

[little glen]

gateron 🥀

dont support the devil that created jades

[orchid valve]

oh nvm it did come with standoffs and screws, i'm just blind 😂 . lucky i double checked it

[little glen]

if you want a good switch puller here's an unsorted list:

• ws titanium puller
• tx puller (the basic single piece one)
• tx cnc puller
• tx multi tool (if you wanna go crazy with features on it but as discussed maybe not perfect for everything at once)

[trail bane]

Out of all languages bro still chooses the language of facts

[lilac inlet]

thanks, i think i'll go with the tx cnc puller for stability

[sweet oak]

They would be satisfying in the hydraulic press

[cyan lark]

what's the hydraulic press do?

[sleek grove]

What are the best stabs for the 60he v2?

[sleek grove]

1.6 right?

[calm pulsar]

yea

wooting pcbs are 1.6

[sleek grove]

Awesome. Thank you

[wispy wharf]

does anyone know about the tactype ceramic keycaps?

[sly palm]

The really thin looking ones

[wispy wharf]

are they thin?

ooh they do look kinda thin

but they look very cleanly made

[sly palm]

Yea, I don't have any ceramic caps but judging on pictures they look really thin compared to cerakeys

[wispy wharf]

it is a different, denser ceramic though

like 50% denser

[sly palm]

Well I cannot say much about them
They looking thin is the only thing I can tell you

[cloud crane]

Smh no 1.1mm ceramic keycaps

[wispy wharf]

2mm ceramic keycaps

increase board weight 500g

[cloud crane]

[urban ingot]

I kind of like it. But holy crap does it feel flat.

[orchid valve]

Just finished changing to pp plate and silicone case too

[urban ingot]

I like the sound better without the keebmat. Looks better without it too.

Feels weird to type on without a wrist rest though. Feels weird to type on period.

[sly palm]

Would you happen to have the aquamarine case as well?

[urban ingot]

Nah, I only got the white.

[sly palm]

Icic I was kinda curious how bojus match with the aquamarine color

[cloud crane]

Swg shinethrough molds???

[urban ingot]

I may order the aquiamarine though. I need to get another 60 v2 module. The case is dirt cheap with it.

[sly palm]

If you do, would you mind putting Sojus on it and share a picture?

[urban ingot]

It won't be for a while. I have to wait until I get paid for a job I did before I go ordering more stuff.

[orchid valve]

got email today that unobtanium blue is hoping to ship within the next few weeks, too bad i'll be putting it on my 80he instead of the aquamarine silicone case 😂 . i would like to see someone put sojus on the aquamarine case too

[urban ingot]

I really want to put the 60v2 in this. I ordered foam from AliExpress that seems to have gotten lost in transit. Said it left China a week ago and not another scan since.

I bought my 60v2 regular as a prebuilt, so I don't have foam to put in the sandwich to replace the gasket mount.

So I figured I'd just order another 60 v2 module. And then have an extra keyboard.

[dawn silo]

can i tray mount with the silicone friction pad?

[calm pulsar]

Geon got fed up with questions

[calm pulsar]

you should be able to, but why

friction pad exists so that you dont need to tray mount pretty much

[dawn silo]

because I already have to screw in one screw for the grounding, so I screw them all in

[calm pulsar]

that's going to defeat the purpose of friction mounting, but you can do that

also you can ground using a conductive sponge thing like wooting shows in their video, so that there's no need to a screw to ground

[fluid ravine]

oh lord

[calm pulsar]

this is probably because they closed chats on discord lol

[regal patio]

Coming up next: How to use a keyboard

How does that work

[tender anchor]

I put the keytok novas 2 days ago on my 80he

goated switches

[untold wigeon]

How are they compared to wuque flux deep clack?

Saw a set online for cheap

I’m considering it given the hype

I already enjoy the feel of the flux so just curious

[glacial wind]

they're more muted than deep clack, so depends on what you like

can compare the two sound tests in the database and notice the tone difference

[glacial wind]

dam that was fast, same day delivery for gmk black snail base set

What better than one black snail keycap set? 2 black snail keycap sets

[calm pulsar]

are they the same or did you get different kits

iirc only base kit has the cooler box

[glacial wind]

2 base sets there, i have the other kits too inside the swagkey box

have some projects you guys will see in a month or so that require more keycaps so i won't have 2 for long

[calm pulsar]

my l9 modifiers are on the way from korea, I think full cream is gonna look nice on silver v2 case and frog too

[glacial wind]

and yeah it's a shame gmk sends everything non base set in the scuffed boxes lol

i threw those out already because the thin paper boxes were not very useful for storing the alphas and cherry novelties

[calm pulsar]

germans with their environment friendliness

[glacial wind]

i wouldnt mind even if they gave a proper box for it with no design, but the flimsy paper tray things it ships in i can't even store without it getting loose or crushed

what triggers my ocd though is that swagkey hasn't restocked the keycap trays, so if i buy more trays in the future they won't match

[calm pulsar]

I guess you'll have to order keycap sets themselves to get trays

[harsh dove]

Yeah my GMK Evil Dolch came like that, sadness

Tray is still good for now but I don’t like it lol

[glacial wind]

it's happening!

gmk mictlan just shipped for me

no longer will we be oppressed by a lack of 1.25u spacebar concave in gmk black kits

[ionic breach]

santa llum delivery delayed till after my enlistment

[little glen]

i dont think oblo has shipped mine yet

[glacial wind]

klc be fast, they just got it and started shipping already

[little glen]

god damn

tbf my order also has some other stuff, but i think it should be in stock

[calm pulsar]

they just haven't gathered enough random color alphas to build your set yet

[glacial wind]

i got random customs message saying i have 'keyboard parts' on the way too

no idea wtf that is though, we'll find out i suppose

i guess either the new ttc switches or zoom64 + oceans

[little glen]

i'm sad those really cool colored flux are exclusive

[broken notch]

I feel the same about the blood diamonds

[little glen]

we can trade blood diamonds for cullinans at the next wootup

[broken notch]

For sure

gimme gimme

I couldn't afford them at the time, so no like blood diamonds for me preorder

[little glen]

the launch promotion hasnt started yet

[ionic breach]

bruh i just saw the manta for 60he

im so fking sad

it looks so good

[little glen]

i'll buy a set of switches and i'll end up with 20 extra blood diamonds we can trade @broken notch

[broken notch]

Hell yeah

I think I have 14 culllinans

[sacred elm]

why

[ionic breach]

i want a 60

i have a 80

[sacred elm]

Get it then

[ionic breach]

yea im thinking of giving my 80he to my dad or smt

but i want to wait for the antagonist

cos i need a tkl for daily use

New TTC switches 👀

[little glen]

are there any more pictures/a site?

[little glen]

that looks pretty good but idk about the angle

[little glen]

what is it called

[ionic breach]

alex's stream

[little glen]

holy bumpons

ah

and it's wooting compatible

[ionic breach]

no clue

[little glen]

ah

i hope it is

[ionic breach]

no clue about the name

[sacred elm]

@glacial wind another 9 degree case for you sir

[ionic breach]

it is wooting compatible

[glacial wind]

He said 7 degrees though

[ionic breach]

glad to see that alex has the same issue with both the 60he and especially the 80he case tho

[regal patio]

When 90° degree angle?

[sacred elm]

oh

[ionic breach]

please we need a 80he case collab

[glacial wind]

I hope it’s 7 degrees

[regal patio]

Mikey Type switches that supposedly sound like MX switches?

[ionic breach]

angle looks good

[little glen]

i am reminded of the guy that wanted a 45 degree angle

[glacial wind]

Ttc kom pro or whatever they call them

[regal patio]

Oh ok

[glacial wind]

I don’t believe in any switches being mx sound honestly

[little glen]

if you just try to hold that angle with your wrist, itll start hurting immediately

[regal patio]

Well that's what he claims

[glacial wind]

He probably just means closer in some way but no one is making mx sounding he switches especially not for cheap without serious rnd and mold redo

[regal patio]

Upgraded TTC KOM Flip?

[ionic breach]

my only issue is with the side bezels

but its a preferance thing

[candid bramble]

if it wider

it would be so much better

[ionic breach]

im a big fan of thick, slightly uniform bezels yea

but i know its 50/50 camp thing

its like the polaroid borders vs uniform white social media borders for pictures

[broken notch]

@little glen do you mind if I send you a friendrequest?

[little glen]

go ahead

[candid bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-cute-gif-24044523

[glacial wind]

No idea. Some sort of thing at bottom of the stem/housing supposedly to change sound

[candid bramble]

i am thinking if i should drop more money

into this hobby

[glacial wind]

Honestly for any influencer switch I assume they were just given a mold that other brands passed up on and allowed to make some minor changes to it - it’s why I don’t think any switch coming from YouTubers will be some drastic change

unless there’s a huge and much larger investment into rnd and new molds and tests then you aren’t going to get anything different and I do not expect any of the smaller YouTubers to be investing the 6 figures required for that sort of things

[broken notch]

Where do europeans usually go for genuine GMK sets?

[fallen pecan]

Honeycomb structure at the base that “disperses”’the sound

[broken notch]

Might purchase a high quality set to see what the hubbub is about

[glacial wind]

I hope it’s a hard honeycomb so no mushiness

[sacred elm]

deltakey, oblotzky

[broken notch]

Thanks Shafie

[fallen pecan]

Theyre not implying it’s soft. Also not exclusive, quite a few shops are selling it already

So between the Kom Pro and the flip, depends if you like plastic on plastic or magnet on honeycomb plastic

[glacial wind]

Have they said anything about lite version besides it being one piece?

[ionic breach]

schema

just checked

[little glen]

Hope it wont cost 2 billion dollars

[fallen pecan]

the more the merrier

[trail bane]

Ngl that’s looks ugly to me rn

So I’m hoping for manta r2

[broken notch]

I got my CF from them

[lilac inlet]

I’m hyped - i asked if they can do anodized dark grey like the case, but we’ll see :>

[ionic breach]

fair

i do think the flat bottom is great for patinas

but it might be a bit too plain for some

[trail bane]

I did not expect this. I do not like this render at all, the prototype that Alex had on the stream for some reason looks better. Until I see the final prototype I cannot say anything.

[lilac inlet]

i'm gonna buy a few to try in europe

[ionic breach]

the proto is that raw one right?

[trail bane]

Yeah

[ionic breach]

yea alex also said something along the lines of that

that it looks better irl than the render for him

looking forward to see it finished

[trail bane]

After all if you don’t like it then just don’t buy it

[lilac inlet]

if anyone from NL wants to order from https://pantheonkeys.com let me know in DM, gonna be ordering a few things soon and we could split shipping if you're interested

#🪛│modding_faq

[blazing schooner]

oh

thx

[blazing schooner]

did gravastar ufos get changed? mine are purple but the ones in that image are white/silver

[sacred elm]

Just color, they're the same

[blazing schooner]

so there are purple and white ones now?

[sacred elm]

Yeah

[blazing schooner]

neat

[sacred elm]

and pink with butt diffuser

[blazing schooner]

lol

I use a lot of purple rgb so purple being the first option released worked out pretty well for me

[tropic urchin]

They’ll give you an ass diffuser, and not even fix their ass design

[humble surge]

Time to finally try some Lavas, Lotuses, Clip Clops and whatever the purple box thing is

[chilly mural]

Infinity Stone ahh

[meager rain]

[rotund perch]

what are the ones on the right are those the horses

[humble surge]

the white?

[rotund perch]

these

[sacred elm]

ttc horse

[humble surge]

RGB horses

[rotund perch]

ah ok

[humble surge]

white version

although for shine through they are quite weak

[rotund perch]

even though ufos look cool i am never getting them

isnt it like impossible to lube them

[humble surge]

finnicky, but i never needed to lube them, used UFOs since December 5 or 6th and i dont see a problem like some others saying

[rotund perch]

ah

i wanna try out other switches but its pretty expensive hobby

[humble surge]

it is, but you can always buy a 4 piece sample of anything

[rotund perch]

where from?

[humble surge]

TaoBao or AliExpress

[rotund perch]

is taobao worldwide shipping aswell

[humble surge]

no, but you can use something like SuperBuy, which can get it to anywhere

[rotund perch]

excuse me

what is the price

of ttc horses on ali

that

is insane

[sacred elm]

You can open them, but there's high chance of damaging. That's the downside of this switch, they feel and sound worse after months of use and you can't do anything about it

[rotund perch]

these new switch prices man

wtf

[humble surge]

After trying horses finally i'm not too impressed, the "unique" sound is so subtle that i honestly don't care much.
RGB on OGs is non existent and the actual RGB version is quite weak on that front.
Typefeel is okay, but i prefer UFOs, Novas and Diamonds at this stage.
Even Lotus and Lava feels better to me.

[rotund perch]

maybe I bought switches on some discounts that i forgot

i might just get some keytok novas eventually

i just wonder how do they feel

[humble surge]

very light, a little mushy but not in a negative way, also very quiet

[rotund perch]

i like the quieter sound

and i like that they're not MEGA stable like ufos

[urban ingot]

I'd have to say I like the Diamonds, but the Nova are still my favorite.

[rotund perch]

and good rgb

[wispy wharf]

I still like flux DC

[rotund perch]

yeah I see alot of people like the novas

[wispy wharf]

Wasn't impressed by diamonds

Mostly the factory lube on flux is goated and I'm lazy lol

[rotund perch]

i love being lazy

[humble surge]

i mean they are, i noticed no difference in stability at all, used both for months

I also dont get the problem with UFOs, mega stable is good

[urban ingot]

I bought a full set of the Cullinans. I'm going to keep them in my 80 HE. I like them enough to keep them in, but still prefer the Nova.

[rotund perch]

eh i like the stability of the fluxes

only MEGA stable when bottomed out

well still stable on top

but not as much

[wispy wharf]

Stable up top without being restricting, but not quite enough

Would prefer like A+ stable but these are good enough A

[rotund perch]

im using dcfs rn aswell

[glacial wind]

ufo are measurably more stable in our tests and it's not close just fyi

that said, it's all in the realm of plenty stable enough already for almost all the popular switches

[rotund perch]

yeah i find dcfs already very stable

[glacial wind]

you just have to decide for yourself end of the day how much stability you want vs sound and feel

none of the switches will hold you back stability wise either way, unless you specifically chase absolute lowest deadzone and use 0.1 level settings

[rotund perch]

stability in novas seem perfect for me and i really like the quieter sound

[glacial wind]

yeah novas are uniquely muted sound since it's pa12 material + split stem

so mega muted

[rotund perch]

ok but why

WHO DECIDED THIS

[glacial wind]

they hate the earth and love plastic

[urban ingot]

When my first set arrived. I got 9 boxes of those. It took longer to unpackage each switch than anything else.

[rotund perch]

And that is exactly what im planning to do. buy 90 switches

[broken notch]

Anyone ever gotten keycap sets from Pantheonkeys?

Trying to gauge the quality of https://pantheonkeys.com/products/fbb-fossil-r2-pbt-dye-sub-keycap-set

[glacial wind]

fbb is one of the better budget brands

[broken notch]

Thanks for your input Sno!

[glacial wind]

very thick keycaps, printing quality isn't always the greatest but it's still decent enough

for $30-35usd or so it's hard to find better keycaps that are that thick

they're thick enough that you'll notice the tone change from the keycaps alone making everything deeper

[broken notch]

Nice, perfect

[regal patio]

The nova's have great factory lubing

[humble surge]

May 1st is time for some more samples

[little glen]

All of these look like recolors

😭

[humble surge]

we dont care :)

[little glen]

Switch manufacturers should stop making switches in colorways i dont like and only make them in colors i like

[calm pulsar]

real

[lilac inlet]

what if you could buy switches in modules

colored stem, colored top, colored bottom etc to mix and match

[little glen]

This was a suggestion/idea i had

With a bunch of different material choices

[lilac inlet]

yeah i wouldn't worry too much about the shapes in the beginning, but even making the L45/L60 switches in modular parts with different colors, it would attract many enthusiasts i feel

but the logistics will be.. complex

[lyric nimbus]

@little glen oh shit you won

nice

also is it just me or are switches just

really good fidget toys

[calm pulsar]

more profitable to sell full sets of recolors and to vaguely say that they COULD be better because of “new” molds

[lilac inlet]

you'd think so but i have doubts about that if you pull it off correctly

[broken notch]

I like the crazyness of Switch promotional pictures

They're so full-on, love it

[lilac inlet]

agent 47 with a sniper on a hill type-o-switch

[broken notch]

I dig it

I'm clearly the demographic

[little glen]

[calm pulsar]

people wishing to build a switch out of specific parts is super rare imo

but I did some frankens and it was fun

but these days most switches are good enough and there’s too many different manufacturers to be able to combine different parts

[lilac inlet]

yeah combining parts is why i said keep it simple with shapes

but it was mostly regarding color variants for existing popular switches

could make for some really interesting switch layouts that's for sure

[calm pulsar]

that makes sense to be able to combine them, but the entire market of HE is trying to improve stability and/or sound with sophisticated designs so hard to see that happening

would love to be able to build a full matte black switch tho

[lilac inlet]

i would go for dark grey with red stem if possible, would look sick on mine i think

[calm pulsar]

ah right you have that keykobo set

[lilac inlet]

it's still on the way :< but yeah

The white is a nice offset for now but we’ll see if i keep it

I ordered a black fp4 plate and a custom alu plate so we’ll see how they fare first

[calm pulsar]

black plate is the way for me no matter what keycap/case color

just adds depth if you cant really see the plate

[calm pulsar]

xvx whisper jumpscare

[lilac inlet]

yes, i didn't really like the stem wobble of the L45 switch (iirc) so i ordered xvx silent switches and will order squishe's soon from pantheonkeys to try

not 100% sure about the squishe's but we'll see

i'm still not 100% sure what switches i'll end up with, but i'm gonna be experimenting for a bit when the keycaps arrive

the alu case is also completely empty when it comes to foam, films tape etc so that may need work later

I love how it’s become such a universal experience someone made a shitty Microsoft paint meme

[lilac inlet]

btw the squisHE https://pantheonkeys.com/products/squishe should work with 80he right?

i'm pretty sure it will but just making sure

[sacred elm]

Yeah, they're even available in the switch selector for optimal performance

[lilac inlet]

awesome thanks

so will the total travel time being lower also lower the keycaps in position since it's no longer 4mm?

[sacred elm]

No

[lilac inlet]

great :>

if anyone from NL wants to order from https://pantheonkeys.com/ let me know in DM, gonna be ordering a few things soon and we could split shipping if you're interested - will be ordering somewhere tomorrow/day after most likely

I don't know what split stem means

[lilac inlet]

https://pantheonkeys.com/products/ur-studio-ice-extreme-he-switches what is the people's opinion on these switches?

[calm pulsar]

split stem consisting of 2 parts that try to achieve better magnet stability, but it seems it's at the cost of sound

like it allows more wiggle room for one of the stem parts and it is supposed to have better magnet stability

[true patrol]

I don't suppose there's a way to order the 60v2 as ONLY the PCB?

[sly palm]

You can order just the module?

[true patrol]

I could, yeah. Just didn't know if I could get it without the plate/stabs

[sly palm]

Nah it comes with stabs, plate and friction fit layer + (module only: tray mount sandwich pad)

[true patrol]

not that I think it would be that much cheaper or anything, just trying not to be wasteful, since mine would be going into a frog mini (and custom plate for mounting that I already have)

everything besides the PCB itself would go straight into a box and probably never get touched again lol

[sly palm]

Fair enough, just get the module

Not possible to get only PCB from wooting at least

[humble surge]

good budget option

[regal patio]

[past pelican]

hi guys! Long time no see. Thinking about modding my stabs, should I go with durock v3 or SW Knight Stabilizers (V4)?

[sacred elm]

Durock stabilizers aren't really an upgrade over stock. Go for Knights or Typeplus instead

[past pelican]

interesting

[ripe void]

anyone used the purple ufos any good ?

[past pelican]

are they generally easy to swap? Never done this before but I have some experience with keyboard modding

[sacred elm]

Yeah, very easy. There's lube and assembly tutorial on their youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73j3hbwt22w

[past pelican]

great, thank you!

[sacred elm]

Note due to tighter tolerances for these stabilizers you'll only need 205g0 for both housing and wires. Thicker lubes aren't recommended

[past pelican]

great, wooting lubing kit is on the way already 😄

And leaving it in the office

[little glen]

[tropic urchin]

Then using 60% full time at home

No alternative gasket solution kinda chaps my ass ngl

[sly palm]

60% best size

[tropic urchin]

You get more cases

That’s without a doubt

[little glen]

smh you should try my theory

someone pinged me on a custom plate that has the tabs

[tropic urchin]

Mr arc did

For the FR4 off keebox

Don’t you still need the lil silicone rubber thingies to put onto the sides or no

No cool 80HE cases dented my love for it after using Vella I can’t lie

[little glen]

i'd imagine you cut off the silicone blocks on the sides and use those to support the plate, and by extension, the keyboard

[sly palm]

Vella is some good shit

[tropic urchin]

Thockson ruined me

[little glen]

yeah we do need some more 80he cases

[tropic urchin]

I bought it as a meme and it’s engulfed my main board

No other GMK sets dethrone lazurite and no other case dethrones Vella

[ionic breach]

did u replace without unplugging the keyboard?

[signal mulch]

Nope

[little glen]

did you select it in switch selector

do that and replug

[signal mulch]

Yes but nvm someone told me to replug and it fixed it

yeah i selected them and ig i didnt know i needed to replug

whew i thought i messed something up

[little glen]

replugging will make it recalibrate

[signal mulch]

W

Although im sad, they forgot 10 switches but these feel and sound really good.

[little glen]

so if you swap without replugging it will detect the magnets wrong if the magnets are different

[signal mulch]

and i probably shouldve went with white ones

LOL

cant do white RGB anymore

[little glen]

damn

[signal mulch]

Sad they forgot 10pcs tho

Anyone have keycap recommendations? and what type should i look for to fit these switches

[robust siren]

looking for purple keycaps specifically?

[signal mulch]

I dont know, I really like the white/silver ones from gravastar themselves but they dont sell them which sucks

and i didnt want to use their 60% keyboard

but i cant find anything that looks remotely close to them

I love the frosted look of these and the white aswell looks really nice but i cant find any good looking frosted ones.

[robust siren]

you have a black case though
unless youre planning to rock the white caps/black case look

[signal mulch]

Yeah, I mean i wouldnt mind black good looking darker keycaps too

instead of white frosted black or purple would be nice

[robust siren]

i got a mini list of some that might look nice
some of these might be out of stock

GMK Black Snail (recommend getting the novelties, as well as the alpha kit if you can)
GMK Evil Dolch / KeyKobo Dolch / PBTfans Dolch
PBTfans BOG (Black on Gray)
PBTfans Loki
PBTFans Purpolch r3 / GMK x Glarses POB (Purple on Black)
PBTfans Tape & Radio

[signal mulch]

Thanks, ill check them out

a new case would be sick too im just starting my modding journey and even just doing switches kinda freaked me out at first but it was really easy

Might look into a case with RGB or something

dont know if those exist lol

[robust siren]

a case could change the whole look of a board (as well as sound)

[robust siren]

thats not gonna exist for the 80he

[signal mulch]

yeah thats fine

[robust siren]

theres like 5 cases total you can swap it into

[signal mulch]

any recommendations for 80he cases?

[ionic breach]

switches dont matter

[robust siren]

my personal favorite is kbdfans gt-80

theres also the bone80, holy80, and uhh the other 2 i forgor

[ionic breach]

any keycap u can find will fit

[signal mulch]

I see

[ionic breach]

but if ur unsure

[robust siren]

well as long as they have cherry stem (+)

[signal mulch]

what are some good frosted keycaps? I really like the look of those

[ionic breach]

look out for mx stem or just link the keycaps here

[signal mulch]

Holy 80 is so sick

so expensive tho LOL

[ionic breach]

o damn, i like kap cola

[robust siren]

not really gonna find some super high quality caps like those tbh

you can look at pbtfan xray and see if those are your style but completely translucent caps usually dont have a frost effect or are like pudding keycaps

[ionic breach]

https://keyreative.store/products/group-buy-kap-capo-soda-doubleshot-cherry-profile-keycaps?variant=47866252361885

they did good with it

[robust siren]

it also sounds bad

well because its 85% air

[signal mulch]

Just want something that looks good with RGB ngl

I might reach out to gravastar to get the white version of these switches tho, RGB is quite purpley

[lilac inlet]

this is pretty cool

[signal mulch]

https://www.gloriousgaming.com/en-ca/products/polychroma-rgb-keycaps?variant=44247934107823 Found these in the wootstations chat, actually like them

[glacial wind]

They’re not bad but generally there are other switches people like better #🪛│modding_faq message

[glass spear]

Hello sorry if this is the wrong channel. I tried to ask Wooting support this question before ordering a 80HE but they told me to reach out to the community. I was wondering whether putting o rings on keycap stems would impact the magnetic switches functionality in anyway and if it does is it major or a minor thing? Thank You

[robust siren]

thou shall not show no fear, in the mighty eyes of the lord i shall hold my post. this is where i stand. i shall not abandon my post. i am my perimeter and my perimeter is me

[fluid ravine]

[robust siren]

[calm pulsar]

the title is right tho

[glacial wind]

We do have an option for spacers in the switch selector, just be aware that o rings will reduce the accuracy

How accurate we can make the firmware comes down to how firm and stable the switch is, especially at top and bottom out

By shoving o rings in you basically make that end point very scuffed

[glass spear]

So its not necessarily going to make it inaccurate just not as much travel as stock? If so sorry if I am reiterating in a way but will it be like really inaccurate or just slightly off of normal I guess what I mean to ask is whether I am losing out on a bit of actuation meaning I cant go as deep or is the whole accuracy of the switch being messed with?

[harsh dove]

what is going on here

https://tenor.com/view/whats-going-on-gif-12897674

[humble surge]

If anyone is interested in Purple UFOs in EU let me know, i have 87 pieces i will no longer be using.

[glacial wind]

both. It will make it less accurate and also less travel

if you're just using it for office type usage it'll still be fine, i just wouldn't be using it for say OSU or if you play fps games where strafe timing is super important for example

[untold wigeon]

damn the UFO downfall in real time is crazy to see

[humble surge]

It's nothing like that, i just don't need this many

[untold wigeon]

no its a joke, ive seen alot of people realize you cant open the UFOs at all

its likea one use switch, until it gets dry

[humble surge]

thats all a myth to me still, idk who even came up with it.
These purples are 6 month old at this stage, they function and feel the same as day 1

[untold wigeon]

I mean sure but factory lube can be inconsistent, they can dry out over time, etc

my tikkens felt scratchy after a few months so I went out and got Fluxs, decided to randomlly lube up the tikkens again and realized just how nice they, even replaced the flux on my v2 with tikkens again

idk, they are good switches but just to expensive to gamble with on how long they would last

looks like you got a good batch tho!

[broken notch]

I'm really curious about the Novas n.n

[untold wigeon]

the keytok switches?

[broken notch]

Though with the packaging waste I'd never not buy them second hand hehe

[untold wigeon]

I found a set on ebay for 50 bucks, real cheap

[broken notch]

Embolia is selling me their set!

[untold wigeon]

oooh nice!

[humble surge]

It will not come as waste, but in a container

[untold wigeon]

I was planning on buying that ebay set anyway :p

[broken notch]

Wooo

[untold wigeon]

there in sacremento and I'll be in SF this coming month

a small trip east would be easy to fit into the schedule

[broken notch]

Yeah, I think Embolia and me are more europe-based, not us

[humble surge]

I think all 90 should fit in, but if not then i'll just wrap the last 10

right now i have a bunch of other switches in that container, the Novas are in the UFO container xD

[untold wigeon]

lmao

[broken notch]

Haha, yeah, the UFO container is sick tbh

[humble surge]

like i do actually need more storage myself

cause currently theres an overflow

[untold wigeon]

gravstar makes some sick looking stuff, alot of their stuff is a hit or a miss

[broken notch]

I bought the switch switch container as you know haha

[humble surge]

Might just get the ones we talked about

[untold wigeon]

the switches look great

[humble surge]

but i dont feel like waiting a month

[broken notch]

I should get it soon

[humble surge]

also maybe neutral containers would be nicer

these are cute tho

[broken notch]

Ehehe

[humble surge]

i didn't get a good feel of the size either, so if i get them either 2 or max 4 would be most optimal

anything more might be too big to ship

maybe 4 is too much aswell

[broken notch]

Packaging was very expensive to send for me

I paid 5 usd for the item

And 140 monies total for shipping

Cost me more than the Kois haha

[humble surge]

ohh like that, you lost me there for a sec

so it must be bigger than i thought from picture

well switches will always be cheap cause they are easy to fit tightly

this box is evidently (with its package too) a big item

[broken notch]

I assume that's a 30 cm ruler?

Or maybe a meter??

WHO KNOWS

If this thing is the size of my couch I WILL weep

[humble surge]

the size is on the edges of the pictures

[broken notch]

This one didn't have it

[humble surge]

ohh

[broken notch]

That's the picture I got

[humble surge]

huh

i swear i saw that in someones hands before

but idk where

Sidenote, i really enjoy Flux Lavas, very stable, strong sound and firm typefeel.
Pink Lotus is very light very subtle on the other hand, very close to Nova feel and sound without the mush.

[broken notch]

Flux lava sounds badass

[humble surge]

idk what the proper name is, iirc

Will be ordering the Flux Emeralds today, curious how they are

[glacial wind]

oh shit knights really are coming prelubed

that's super cool

[fluid ravine]

oh shi?

[glacial wind]

pre-assembled and lubed it seems

[fluid ravine]

how much more?

[glacial wind]

like $2

[fluid ravine]

wait that's like nothing

fire

I thought it'd be like $5

[glacial wind]

yeah, very cool

assembling and lubricating stabs is probably the most time consuming part of builds

if they come ready to go that's neat

[fluid ravine]

i wonder how well they lubed it

[glacial wind]

it's a pity i just ordered some last week so i don't need more right now, but that makes a neat option for beginners now

[fluid ravine]

fo sho let us know

[glacial wind]

although they still don't come with enough 2u stabs for split lol

[fluid ravine]

is it only selling at swagkey right now

[glacial wind]

yeah only swagkey kr right now, don't know when/if they intend to have enough to sell outside korea

[fluid ravine]

mm mk

[calm pulsar]

I ordered 2 packs of knights because of that but honestly all my stabs are perfect on v2

[glacial wind]

yeah v2 without big spacebar honestly much lower rate of needing to relube/tweak stabs

[fluid ravine]

i want another set of knights just cus

oh shi that reminds me i need lube
back at my no lube era

[glacial wind]

reminds me i need to order that tx chubby cnc puller to test out

[calm pulsar]

the left spacebar is probably the best spacebar sound I ever had

[fluid ravine]

my knights and YIKB spacebar on both mx and HE sounds great

maybe slightly less with the HE spacebar just cus of the switch

but otherwise
no rattle or anything
so far so good

[broken notch]

I installed my yikbd stabs the other day

Chinese keyboard market is such a mystery there

Cause they should have access to the best switches easily and cheaply

But then they buy some random bullshit instead

[proper swift]

Hi, this may be the wrong place to post this. I been trying to buy a Keyboard for like the past 30 min and it keeps not letting me due to issue with the payment

[glacial wind]

the amount of people in china who requested wuque flux switch when was have wuque flux in there already is interesting too

[little glen]

Try a different payment method or address

[glacial wind]

we can't figure out if they simply missed the variants shown under the flux option or if they have some chinese only flux variant

[little glen]

I would honesly not be surprised they didnt see the shape in the picture and thought it‘s not there

[glacial wind]

Behold, gmk mictlan spacebars

[warm sand]

hello, I just bought the 60he v2 module with ansi split layout and want to know which are the best stabilizers to get. I've heard the typeplus stabilizers are good but some people say that they don't work well with gravastar ufos which are the switches I'm gonna use

[glacial wind]

that makes no sense, they work fine. If you have wobble issues you just get geon stem spacers

although honestly don't change your stabilisers unless you're having issues

are you actually having some issue with your stabilisers?

[little glen]

What the hell, that was so fast

[warm sand]

i havent received any of the parts yet ive ordered everything however, i heard some youtubers saying the stock stabilizers still have some rattle so i was thinking of just getting a better set of them

[glacial wind]

it's korea, everyone is next day or at worst 2 days to arrive

split spacebar has much less issues than big spacebar

i wouldn't buy new stabilisers unless you actually have rattle

and even then you often don't even need new stabilisers but just a little lube

[warm sand]

ok, i will try the regular ones out first then

are the geon spacers still important

[sacred elm]

No

[glacial wind]

only if you have keycap wobble

don't need them unless you see the issue happen

[warm sand]

alright

[glacial wind]

now i have gmk black spacebar in every size, my black snail is complete

[little glen]

What are you using it on

[broken notch]

https://pantheonkeys.com/products/armorsuit-abs-cherry-profile-spacebar-kit?variant=46198753231092

I got these two

Dino fossils and the black spacebar kit they sell

[glacial wind]

Not sure yet, it’ll probably be my 80he set eventually

I want a different case for 80he though, but I think it’ll require waiting for a v2 one day for any drastic new cases to appear

[mellow sedge]

does my keyboard sound like ass

i feel like the switches dont sound good

[glacial wind]

I’ll probably throw one of my 80he into my silver gt80 for now with black snail

Just random recording doesn’t really tell us much

We don’t know what keyboard you’re using, what switches, what sound you’re even going for

[mellow sedge]

the red tenz lekkers

[glacial wind]

On top of random recordings having very different sound profiles due to mic

[mellow sedge]

i hand lubed them

and lubed the stabilizers with durock v3s

[broken notch]

Uh oh, a Holy

[mellow sedge]

it sounds like 1:1

im ngl

[glacial wind]

Sounds fine to me

[mellow sedge]

i have a yeti

compared to my steelseries tkl 3 its not as good imo 😭

[broken notch]

Unfortunately the case you've picked has a negative impact on the sound profile for a lot of people

Since it's so hollow

[mellow sedge]

even without

[glacial wind]

I’m not sure what sound profile you’re going for

[broken notch]

Tastes differ of course

[mellow sedge]

the switch itself just sounds clack

[glacial wind]

You maybe prefer a different tone of switch

Most HE is clack

[broken notch]

Yesh, HE and MX sound very different

[mellow sedge]

comparison of my steelseries apex tkl

vs the wooting

[broken notch]

Broooo

[glacial wind]

Your HE keyboard will not sound like an MX keyboard

[mellow sedge]

thats my friend

😭

[glacial wind]

If you want to change the sound you’ll need new switches but even then no one can guarantee to get the sound you want

Because He switches do not sound like mx 1:1

[broken notch]

You should listen to the sound tests Sno did!

To see what you like

[sacred elm]

I just won't believe your wooting doesn't sound as good as apex pro

that's impossible

[mellow sedge]

the apex pro i hand lubed aswell

the switches sound better imo

[glacial wind]

Is it an mx apex

Or Hall effect

[mellow sedge]

hall

[glacial wind]

Then you probably someone that likes that old muddy HE sound

[sacred elm]

If you like that sound profile, go get some Lekker v1s from 2022

[mellow sedge]

yo i got bad taste 😭

[glacial wind]

which is fine but it’s just not what tikkens are designed for

You can get that sound if you want, just change the switches

[mellow sedge]

i think thats what it is

also how to i get rid of that annoying rattle from like biggers keys like caps lock or tab

i already did stabilizers

[glacial wind]

You can’t really, there will always be some rattle. Also you picked bad stabilisers

[mellow sedge]

can u really hear that theyre bad

[glacial wind]

If your goal was less rattle you just replaced your current stabs with the durock version of the same thing

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

Durock stabs are from long ago and not any better than the stabiliser you had before

[mellow sedge]

i mean with keys like tab not the actual stabilizer keys

[glacial wind]

Oh those you can’t do anything about
