[icy sand]

that

[little glen]

check if the wires are in correctly and if the stab is clipped in right

[icy sand]

OH

OMG

TYSM WIZARD

IT WORKED

[glossy pagoda]

Yer a wizard, Wiz4rd

[icy sand]

@little glen

yo

[little glen]

[icy sand]

ive been tryinfor like 4 hrs

turns out the hooks were all out

[little glen]

yeah that can happen if you're unlucky

speaking of, i need to fix my stabs as well

[obtuse aspen]

https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-v2-modding-kit should i buy this ?

[sacred elm]

Different plate only, without foams

[tall elk]

Is there a modding kit for the 80HE thats more accessible to purchase for Australia that isnt from Toronto Man

[little glen]

aliexpress

toronto keyboardman is just reselling aliexpress stuff anyway

[tall elk]

Any brand or seller in particilar?

Oh is he? Lol

[sacred elm]

Keyboard fun store

[tall elk]

And so should i be getting the full kit like case foam, the different sheers etc

[sacred elm]

You can get full kit but those included foam sheets mess with the accuracy of the keyboard so it's a money waste

I'd recommend getting plate only if you want different sound profile and feel

[tall elk]

Which plate - like when looking at Toronto keyboard man website i see a fee selection of plates

Foam+white pom plate
Foam+fr4 plate
Foam+silver carbon plate

And the plates being sold without the foam

Which one would best achieve a more deeper sound

Well wont be getting the foam anyway, or using it if i have to get it

[obtuse aspen]

the plate is just for the sound ?

[sacred elm]

If you want deep sound, keep the stock plate. All of those plates will make the sound louder/clackier

[tall elk]

Oh man. Thats a bit of a money saver then hahaha

[obtuse aspen]

true xD

[tall elk]

Tbh i dont have much knowledge on what they do

[obtuse aspen]

me too

[sacred elm]

What switches are you using?

[tall elk]

Im happy with the stock plastic case but this whole modding stuff has had me curious too

[obtuse aspen]

the same

[tall elk]

Stock switches, but buying the lekker mediums which is what u recommended me haha

[obtuse aspen]

i was lost

[tall elk]

Just not on the priority list atm - when ive got money to splurge ill buy it

[obtuse aspen]

carbon fibre plate for what ?

[dense cedar]

Does anybody know what are these small and thin plastic pads? (in the screws bag)

[little glen]

they are shims in the case that your pcb is thinner than usual (it is not)

[dense cedar]

So I don't really need it if the stabs are already for 1.6mm pcb?

[little glen]

yeah should not be a problem

[dense cedar]

good thanks!

[trail bane]

No, these are different. These ones prevent the screw head from touching the PCB, just in case, so it does not short when it touches the bottom of the case iirc

[little glen]

ah

still doesnt matter

[dense cedar]

makes sense

I think I need open my wooting to see if the stock stabs habe them lol

[sacred elm]

They don't

[little glen]

the link to the keebox discord on their site is invalid

[glossy pagoda]

This is why we use
https://wooting.io/discord

[trail bane]

I can send you invite

[little glen]

[little glen]

not bad for 2 plates and standoffs

[robust siren]

whatd you get

[little glen]

cf and alu

80he

both ISO, hence why they need to be custom cut

[glossy pagoda]

ANSI > ISO confirmed

[little glen]

not making a good case for it when you need to find every opportunity to convince yourself of that

[glossy pagoda]

Just spreading the gospel

[tulip rapids]

mark is there a way to get another silicone gasket for my 80he ?

i want to do experiments

[little glen]

buy another 80he

[glossy pagoda]

You could contact support, we do stock replacement part inventory

[little glen]

[tulip rapids]

even if i cut the gasket myself i can get a replacement ?

[little glen]

i would buy an extra silicone gasket for experiments

[tulip rapids]

👀

[glossy pagoda]

Doesn't hurt to ask

[tulip rapids]

real

what if its a trap

"go ahead and ask"

wooting pov

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twitter-reaction-meme-funny-buckspendragon-silly-cat-gif-17797998604688624745

[chilly mural]

One way to find out

[glossy pagoda]

It certainly won't be covered under warranty

But we do price these parts for out-of-warranty support

Though if I recall correctly, this particular item is in a combined package of internal parts, so you'd be needing to pay for plate+foams+gasket

[trail bane]

All that time

[glossy pagoda]

Eh?

[trail bane]

I could have just asked, I thought they would tear me apart

[glossy pagoda]

I didn't say there wouldn't be threats of great bodily harm

[sweet oak]

Threats of crunch

[tulip rapids]

ty mark i'll send an email out

First dual bottom material switch by HMX is releasing 👀 @fluid ravine

[robust siren]

i need a 10 page report on alu plate

[little glen]

hmmm

no

[robust siren]

[tulip rapids]

when does the 80he experiments start fren

[little glen]

never

jk

when my plates and diamonds and 80he are here ig

[tulip rapids]

need a solution for the bilicone basket

[little glen]

i still got so much shit to do tho

[little glen]

yeah i'm not gonna do that stuff for a while

you can do it tho

[tulip rapids]

which diamonds did you get?

[little glen]

none yet

i'll buy cullinans when the launch event starts

[swift narwhal]

Anybody know where I can buy mass loaded vinyl?

My budget is like 65$

But I can't figure out what I'm supposed to even buy

[little glen]

what

[sacred elm]

[swift narwhal]

One sec

[little glen]

is this some tiktok mod i havent heard of

[swift narwhal]

It's just the stuff they use for cars, studios, and houses

I'm guessing you don't know tho....

But it makes for good soundproofing for keyboards

[little glen]

honestly if you want a quieter keyboard you should just get silent switches or a softer plate or something

[trail bane]

Got some mx blacks

[tropic urchin]

You can achieve the same using Kilmat, but I wouldn’t spend that much on dampening foam

[fluid ravine]

Woaaa waaaat

[eager coyote]

can someone recommend some nice keycaps with golden legends? i saw the gmk ones but they are a bit too basic for me

[tropic urchin]

GMK Black and Gold (has some cool novelties) or KKB Kintsugi are the most recent ones with gold legends

[swift narwhal]

Well here's the thing I have a hex 80 board and a wooting 60he I was able to make the wooting pretty perfect but my hex 80 is just default super loud

I just want it to be super quiet

Right now I'm using lubed lekker tikkens which is prolly as quiet as I'll get

[sacred elm]

It's loud because of Owlab switches

and alu plate iirc

[eager coyote]

KKB Kintsugi look very nice thank you

[tropic urchin]

It’s a nice set, got their space bar kit to go with my GMK Lazurite build

[eager coyote]

does it also have a 1.25 spacebar

[tropic urchin]

Ye

[eager coyote]

thank god... i underestimated the struggle of finding sets with the split spacebar support

[sacred elm]

10u

[trail bane]

Is this a leak from mod chat?

[sacred elm]

Yes wooting 10u is coming

[tulip rapids]

where 20u at

[tropic urchin]

Jumpscare

[trail bane]

Dayum, thank you

[chilly mural]

I just noticed the 10u

this would go nice with a venom

[tropic urchin]

I got it for the 7u specifically

Has flexibility for split too if I decide to abandon my moral convictions

[hard fern]

In terms of loudness are Tikkens quieter than previous Lekkers?

[sacred elm]

No

Lekker v2s are way more muted because of open bottom

[hard fern]

Nice! exactly what i wanna go for

[trail bane]

Such a GOAT

[trail bane]

I forgot that I already had 45g springs in my cart, while I actually wanted 50g springs

[tropic urchin]

Thank you Daniel )))

Please Gateron spend money on making a new mold and not wasting it on stupid recolors

[chilly mural]

they do be milking all the mold

[little glen]

do i get the lube pen from oblo

or just a 5g tub from deltakeyco

[fluid ravine]

[little glen]

shipping from oblo is like

way cheaper

i think i know what i'm going for

[runic rampart]

Hey i wanna help pls

I did wooting update my keyboard is dead can’t do anything you hear when it’s connected to pc when the plug is out and a plug what can I do ?

[cloud holly]

A

how do i remove the plastic case

off my 80he

i unscrewed but wont go apart

nvm

[potent holly]

Has anybody tried ceramic keycaps with the wooting?

Or heard if they work well

[little glen]

they work just fine

like any other keycap really

[full tundra]

has anyone had issues with plates on 80he? I got a fr4 plate and i think it’s making my spacebar pingy

I’ve tried relubing the stabs but nothing is working

[little glen]

i think that depends on switches+keycaps+case etc

you could try spacebar foam

[full tundra]

i alr got spacebar foam so idk

i’m using tikkens on gt-80

I changed back to the stock plate and the pingyness is gone so idk

[humble surge]

Diamond launch is now in less than 31 hours 👀

[candid bramble]

[elder yacht]

do you buy from aliexpress?

[humble surge]

In general or?

[elder yacht]

for the diamond witch

switch

because i got my ws flux deep clack from ali express

[humble surge]

No, ali too expensive, will buy directly from Wuque

[elder yacht]

wuque is cheaper?

[humble surge]

Considering the Ali offers are above 200$ for the same amount of switches i can get at launch for around 90$, i would say thats cheaper yes

[elder yacht]

how 90 dollars for me its 90 pounds so surely less

[humble surge]

what?

[elder yacht]

pounds is less then dollars

so surely it should be less in pounds for us

[humble surge]

I still don't know what you mean

[elder yacht]

like for example 90 dollars is 60 pounds for us on the web for me is still 90 pounds

[humble surge]

I understand conversion, i have no clue what you are referring to in this instance

[elder yacht]

the ws diamond for you is 90 dollars but for me it is also 90 dollars why isnt it 60 for me

[humble surge]

What do you mean? it's the same amount for everyone

[elder yacht]

its 90 pounds for me

should be 60 if yours is 90 dollars right>/

[humble surge]

No, it's same amount for everyone and everyone pays in USD on the Wuque site

[humble surge]

You are looking at the wrong thing ^^

[elder yacht]

its ws diamond am i wrong?

[humble surge]

Can you see that there are several types?

[elder yacht]

yes

[humble surge]

and this only gives 64 of the actual switch

20 colored

[elder yacht]

yes?

how do i fix

[humble surge]

try the other types? :D

[elder yacht]

i have

only 1 or 3 pcs

?

[inner wren]

Hellooo i want to mod another wooting module 60he+ im not sure on what switches to buy for it tho

And does anyone have any recommendations on a case

That doesnt cost too kich but still can have that strap of the wooting

[robust siren]

kbdfans gt-60

but shipping might uh..... be a bit painful

[sacred elm]

#🪛│modding_faq

[trail bane]

Gn

[meager rain]

guys do u think the cullinan are worth it

(using dcf rn)

[tropic urchin]

If you’re getting them for V2 they’re nice

Wouldn’t recommend for 80HE if you’re running silicone gasket

[meager rain]

mhhhh

good call but im using dcf on 80he with cf plate

they sound so good

[tropic urchin]

They’re great using friction fit and CF plate

Using ocean heart on venom and love it

[meager rain]

mhhhhhhhhhh

yes

[tropic urchin]

You’d need to use poron gasket for 80HE, but if you’re running GT80 case it slides a bit

[meager rain]

e.g. dcf on v2 banger

[tropic urchin]

If you like 45g springs they’re pretty end game

[meager rain]

im rocking the gt80

[tropic urchin]

I’d prob get em for your V2

[meager rain]

yea

saving anohter hunnid

[tropic urchin]

I’m more partial to ocean heart I think but Cullian is nice on CF

[meager rain]

speaking of cf

[tropic urchin]

Ocean is nicer on alu/FR4

[meager rain]

i need to buy some more plates

FR nice on v2 icl

it feels different

than normal FR

4

im thinking of copper plate idek if its worth it spending 40 bucks

would be a cool deco on the wall tho

[tropic urchin]

I liked copper for marbly but overtime your switches start to sound plasticky on it

Cullian being double PC I’m not sure it will be gud

[meager rain]

i see the problem yes

dats why i didnt buy copper

[tropic urchin]

Might be different on v2 idk tho

[meager rain]

cf my only love

rn im rocking my 80he

but on v2

fr4 sounds so good on dcf

but im only rocking 80he rn for school work

writing page after page...ISO is so weird

i miss my ANSI

but in 2 years

i can go on my v2 again

with ANSI :3 but for now i need my german characters and the f row and the del button with arrow keys etc

[inner wren]

How much is it

[sacred elm]

Did anybody say it wasn't allowed? You asked for switch recommendations and I shared a recommended switch list, what's your problem?

[inner wren]

150 is too much for me sadly

[inner wren]

sorry understood it the wrong way since ur mod

thought u indirectly told me to just look in that channel

and that theres no need

[meager rain]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[inner wren]

[urban ingot]

Literally look at the link. It gives you a link to recommended switches currated by the community in terms what is popular and what not.

[sly palm]

[robust siren]

aluminum plate

[robust siren]

the other budget cases ik doesnt have the strap hole you can use

you can get wootings v2 60he case

[inner wren]

wouldnt there be something in the price range of the tofu60 and the strap hole

[robust siren]

nope, you can look for a strap attachment that sticks on with double sided tape

or a cheap clone of the wooting case in metal

[tulip rapids]

i wouldnt buy a tofu unless you already own one

just my imo tbh

[high void]

Any of you know good artisan keycaps

[inner wren]

I already own one bought it like a year ago

[inner wren]

Ill see

[young viper]

tofu3.0 on the other hand...

god damn why is the tofu pad so expensive

[humble surge]

@young viper Diamonds, you buyin?

[young viper]

probably not tbh

although they're neat. For the price to performance I cant justify it. Sounds too similar to my koi rgbs I have

I'd buy the poseidons. But it sounds like they're only planning to release them in a single board

[vivid laurel]

is there a difference between wooting's daughterboard and third party daughterboards like kbdfans?

[inner wren]

Is the difference between them big ?

Because the price tag says so

[urban ingot]

I pre-ordered the Tofu Pad.

[urban ingot]

Someone posted a screenshot of a WS rep saying they're going to release the Poseidon on their own.

[wispy wharf]

They are being very wishy washy about it

I got the rep to put in a word to his team about releasing them separately

It probably wouldn't be til sometime after the sf60 release

[urban ingot]

Knowing WS, it may be cheaper to buy a couple SF60’s as opposed to enough switches to fill your 80HE.

Pretty sure it’s that way with the Flux60 vs the Heart of the Ocean.

[tulip rapids]

bruh there was a gmk mandalorian keycap set

[humble surge]

It's 6$ per 5 at launch, so 102$ for 85

[young viper]

this is what sophie said about it when i asked

[young viper]

how much did you end up spending on it lol

[young viper]

only other news I've seen regarding diamonds is the blood recolor of the cullinans and the "sun" recolor of the heart of the ocean

[young viper]

Yeah, it offers a few new mounting options alongside more modular case designs. Main effect on sound is removing some of the reverb that can commonly be heard with the redux.

[fallen urchin]

Hello, I just modded my Wooting 80HE for the first time mainly the insides, using keytok novas, FR4 plate and foam. I currently have a plastic case that I want to replace with a KBDfans GT-80 but its out of stock unfortunately, and while i wait i wanted to ask for a keycap suggestion that would look and feel good in a black/purpleish color, providing the same or better sound than the stock ones i have and keeping/deepening the sound profile.

oh and maybe some stabilizer suggestion because that spacebar doesn't feel right to me

tried lubing it but didn't quite satisfy

[urban ingot]

~$140

It was $138 for the options I chose. That’s all said and done with taxes and shipping as well.

[robust siren]

try sw knights v4 or yikb x typeplus

[robust siren]

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

if you want the deeper sound profile, stay away from gmk as they use abs which is brighter than pbt

[fallen urchin]

thanks much for the reccomendations

will check out

[robust siren]

its just a small list of caps for a darker theme i have

[thorn zealot]

@glacial wind sry for ping but just bought the xvx switches

and ik they effect accuracy but by how much

[broken notch]

Huh

[thorn zealot]

?

[uneven cradle]

Well for venom it adds a 0.3mm deadzone, imagine it's similar for Wooting

[thorn zealot]

so not the worst

which is fine since im not playin any comp games that need he rn anyway

[cloud crane]

https://keyboardtreehouse.com/products/raeds-he-55g-rgb-switches
Raeds HE RGB with updated molds

[chilly mural]

Yay

[meager rain]

never tested them

[candid bramble]

Oh shit?

[uneven cradle]

raeds back on top

[chilly mural]

we need sno to test this

[cloud crane]

It'll probably be kinda similar to the xvx tho

[candid bramble]

I should pick them up when I am still in Australia

[candid bramble]

Yea aren't the xvx a bit better than the og Read?

Guessing that it feel the same

[cloud crane]

[regal patio]

I heard xvx have some improvements

[chilly mural]

We will never know unless we have the man himself test it

[glacial wind]

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s literally just the tecsee mold

[desert mason]

Are there any rubber keycaps for the wooting 80he? For more grip in long Gaming Sessions?

[broken notch]

Idk, have you tried looking at all?

Also grip is a weird thing on keycaps? Don't you just want little textured keycaps?

Corsair sells them for wasd

Just google textured keycaps and you find the above on amazon

[desert mason]

Yeah maybe because after like 2 hourse of intense gaming I am just sliding around with my fingers even cleaning with isopropyl doesn’t help that much.

[broken notch]

That's not a thing that happens to me at all

[desert mason]

Because the surface is so smooth

[broken notch]

Have you considered a little deskfan aimed at your hands if you're sweaty?

Also higher quality keycaps fade/shine much slower

When your keys get a shine, it means the top layer is worn down

[desert mason]

That won’t help.

[desert mason]

No they don’t shine

[broken notch]

Depending on your budget I'd either get the above I showed

[desert mason]

Open budget

[broken notch]

Or get GMK keycaps if your budget is very high

[sacred elm]

Cleaning keycaps with isopropyl isn't a good idea...

[little glen]

cleaning keycaps with isopropol is crazy work

[broken notch]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzWPwYA

[crimson sky]

how is "sliding around" on keycaps ever an issue

[broken notch]

This might be exactly what you want

[little glen]

i dont think i have ever slid off my keycaps

[crimson sky]

Like
1: how are your hands THAT sweaty
2: are you balancing your entire hands on your fingertips on your keycaps so they are sliding around

[sacred elm]

[broken notch]

Fingertip pushups

[little glen]

usually when your hands get sweaty it's your palms

not the fingertips

[crimson sky]

Fingers do not have muscles in them

Also wtf are you doing

[broken notch]

I hate how you always do this AND are right

[crimson sky]

That's the trick

[desert mason]

it is my finger tips ..

[broken notch]

Idk man

I have given you options

I don't think there's anything 3lse

[desert mason]

yeah thx bro

[little glen]

wipe off your keycaps with a cloth and wipe your fingertips between stocks or something

[broken notch]

It's a very niche problem. Unfortunately for you

[desert mason]

already doing that I am not unhygienic or something

not between stocks because i need to weapon starve and stuff etc,

and that's the only time where I get extra time to think about my opponents neutral

[little glen]

then between matches

[broken notch]

It's a fair problem if he encounters it tbh

I just don't know of any other solutions

[little glen]

but wiping your fingers on your shirt when you have a few seconds of downtime should be easy and not take too much away from other stuff

[desert mason]

but the keys are still slippery then

only helps a little

but thx I am gonna look for more textured keycaps

[sly palm]

And don't clean those new caps with isopropyl

If you want to clean them, luke warm soapy water is all you need

And don't use an oven or anything to dry them

[desert mason]

I think I am gonna buy these:
https://wooting.io/product/wooting-double-shot-pbt-backlit-keycap-set?Color=Just+White&Language=ISO+German

[sacred elm]

Any keycap will get smooth over time

[desert mason]

why? Many people use isopropyl because it's 99% of alcohol? It shouldn't damage the keycaps.

[sacred elm]

It indeed does

[desert mason]

it does dmg the keycaps?

I am confused

[little glen]

plastic and alcohol not always the best combination

[desert mason]

A ok I research it but I think I already do have pbt keycaps so it shouldn't be a problem. I just don't have that grip that you see in the Photos.

[glacial wind]

Some news, TMR blog is getting close to done btw, so hopefully folks can see it in a week or so

[sacred elm]

With alcohol you'll make the surface even smoother, so I'm not sure what your goal was

[glacial wind]

Been piecing bits of it together this past week. It’s such a tricky topic to write since it’s so technical but has to be simplified and explained in a way people can understand

[fallen pecan]

moyu studio Swift Edge, materials are the 3 musketeers: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1047923819718

[sacred elm]

[fallen pecan]

eweadn upcoming switch, looks like a taishan clone

[glacial wind]

it's fun cause the more research and examples i find on tmr differences the more BS every claim becomes

[fallen pecan]

ttc flame yellow kom, 1 piece stem: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=1049043726023

[glacial wind]

interesting numbers is the higher sensitivity of TMR is actually used/needed due to measuring 0.0001 G magnetic fields such as the human heart. In comparison, the 4mm movement of your magnetic switch is 50-1000 G roughly

then when you calibrate the TMR sensor for this higher magnetic field the higher sensitivity isn't even relevent anymore because you're fitting it within say 1024 steps or whatever you use for 4mm of movement

[little glen]

It has been modulized

Who wants some lekker v2s

Now i just gotta wait for my plates and diamonds

[glacial wind]

I have like 1000 lekker v2s already that I don’t know wtf to do with them

From changing them out of pro valorant team boards

[sly palm]

Enough cereal for a week

[chilly mural]

So it means it's useless unless our finger movement can be as small as our heart?

[little glen]

Lekker v2 in a ttc box

[sly palm]

What keycaps and case you will use?

[little glen]

it'll be my swapping pcb

so i can work on one and mod it etc while still using the other

then i can swap between them to compare directly

[sly palm]

I see

[little glen]

yo if anyone wants some free lekker v2 and/or iso de dyesub wooting caps, pull up to gamescom this year and i can give them

[glacial wind]

It basically means extra sensitivity is like standing next to the loudspeaker at a concert and bragging that if you were 6km away your hearing is so good that you could still hear the song being played

The analogy I’m using for that section right now is it’s like bragging that your cars speedometer displays up to 250 kph while you only drive in 40 kph school zones

Just completely worthless and never used

[sly palm]

So it's like people wanting 2/4k polling rate which is also completely useless because polling rate on keyboards doesn't affect performance like mice

[lilac inlet]

i saw a keyboard with "128k polling rate"

big number = better

[glacial wind]

If we wanted the extra tmr peak sensitivity to be useful in keyboards, we’d need to purposely make keyboard magnets as 1000x weaker basically, but then we’d just be doing that for no real reason

[chilly mural]

but... 0.0001mm

[lilac inlet]

you breathing will break that tolerance xd

[glacial wind]

that’s the funny thing, it doesn’t even help with 0.0001mm

You’re still calibrating the sensitivity to be for the same amount of steps and range anyway

[sly palm]

@jed

[glacial wind]

Eh kinda bit it’d be more like people asking for 592729473k polling rate when usb is limited to 8k

And not even using that polling rate but mere saying the hardware could poll at that rate

[chilly mural]

yes yess, Looks like you're very much ready to answer every possible question people might have about TMR vs HE. The only other thing people that still believes the claim is saying Wooting just don't wanna innovate... which is also nulled by the fact that HE knob is coming.

[glacial wind]

Because once you calibrate the sensor for the magnetic field, they end up the same anyway, regardless of sensitivity

[glacial wind]

So if you wanted to use polling rate as an example it’d be like if you told everyone your keyboard has a piece of hardware that could do 11 million polling rate. Not even that you are doing it but that you could if you wanted to

[sly palm]

I see

I wonder what those "tech" people will say about that blog

[glacial wind]

I assume they’ll like it, mostly because YouTubers don’t spread misinformation on purpose, they’re just lazy and don’t care about researching

So when they get tmr info wrong it’s mostly just they don’t have readily available information and have to guess based on limited time to look into things

I assume once they actually have the information they’ll stop spreading the misinformation because then they’ll look a bit silly

[sly palm]

Hipyo will still say TMR is better because it leaves room for mx switches

[glacial wind]

I actually do talk about that in the blog as a benefit, but also that the amount of people who request such a feature are not in the majority

[sly palm]

I mean it is a fair argument, and for the people that like such feature it's valid to be an option

[glacial wind]

I do wonder if he realises how niche the amount of people wanting a 1/3 HE 2/3 mx switch setup would be

Like even just for sound enthusiasts I don’t know many or any who think “yeah I want 1/3 of my keys to randomly sound empty and muddy” vs just having a separate gaming keyboard

[sly palm]

I imagine a mix of HE and MX really weird, especially for typing, and for gaming you can just use a full HE board

[glacial wind]

Yeah it’s a weird niche he’s decided is good.

[sly palm]

I imagine he will like the woot knob however

[glacial wind]

I think he’ll continue doing whatever he feels like

[trail bane]

[glacial wind]

He strikes me as a YouTuber who just wants to make entertaining videos about his opinions and he’s not really caring about accuracy or inclusion of what might be the actual logical breakdown

They’re very entertaining and well paced narrative videos, but it’s always his narrative and not necessarily what might be the more typical pov

im thinking of buying a wooting some time today! Does anyone know of any HE switches similar to the silent frozens? I'm really looking for something thats super quiet

[sly palm]

Check #🪛│modding_faq

[muted yacht]

oh perfect, tysm

[sly palm]

Silent switches mess with accuracy, so keep that in mind

[muted yacht]

probably should have checked that before I asked, my bad

[sly palm]

Also get a rather muted plate like PC

[lilac inlet]

Are there considerable differences between the 60HE series vs 80HE

[chilly mural]

layout

[lilac inlet]

I mean yeah other than that

[sly palm]

The layout, the 80 got frow, arrow keys and some more

[ionic breach]

v2 or v1

[lilac inlet]

I suppose just all of them as a whole it's just that the 60HEs are around the same price but the 80 is a bit pricier

[sly palm]

But the 60hev2 is basically a refresh of the 60hev1 to be on the same level of the 80

[ionic breach]

80he is v2 tech, v1 "product quality"

like switches, plate and imo case

[lilac inlet]

I have my own switches already

[ionic breach]

id say just get the size u like more

[sly palm]

There you go

[lilac inlet]

So they aren't drastically different?

[ionic breach]

yup

other than case compatiblity

[lilac inlet]

Does the plate material cause a drastic sound difference

I mean yeah I can swap them out anyways

[lilac inlet]

And the mounting style

[sly palm]

PC sounds more muted compared to FR4

[lilac inlet]

Let's say I want a "thockier" sound profile, which one would I want

[sly palm]

PC

[lilac inlet]

The same with the mounting style

[sly palm]

#🪛│modding_faq message

[lilac inlet]

So a 60HE+ module?

[sly palm]

Just note, you won't achieve real "thock" with HE

[sly palm]

As you said, you can switch out the plates anyways

[lilac inlet]

Yeah I am aware

[lilac inlet]

What about the mounting style relative to sound

I currently have a tray mounted kb

[sly palm]

@fluid ravine usually is better at explaining sound things, you can ask him when he is around

[paper bloom]

Mounting styles

for sounds usually depends

There r factors like plate and switches that is better lubed

mods that work

If u wanna achieve a thockier PROFILE get one switch and then do the lube urself + getting a plate thats able to reduce mostly the high frequency part of the sound wise

If ur asking for traymount, u can also do those gasket mounting system or a O ring mount

Coz idk what type of thock u want and it is very subjective

[paper bloom]

To also answer this in my opinion PC since i dont have a FR4

But there r others like steel or FR4 everything can be checked in #🪛│modding_faq

Nvm i alrdy answered a answered thing

[oak jewel]

thinking of spray painting an fr4 plate, what could go wrong

[sacred elm]

Don't you have 60HE v2?

[sly palm]

What color

[untold summit]

Are you all gonna buy the switches exactly at midnight or I can sleep peacefully till 5 am?

[sly palm]

Would buy them somewhere else

On WS they are 2 per switch iirc

Like check keybay, Torontokeyboardman and Ali

Or any reseller

[untold summit]

I am from austria

And I need them only for arrows anyway

[fallen pecan]

they're buy 3 get 2 so $1.2 each for the promo week

[sly palm]

Oh I see, I didn't know about that

[fallen pecan]

this too for $128

[sly palm]

Blood diamonds are a recolor?

[fallen pecan]

looks like it, just not sure of which one

technically the blood diamond combo is pricier but you do get exclusive switches

[sly palm]

Icic

[glacial wind]

Blood diamond was confirmed as cullinan recolor according to Wuque folks

[lime yew]

they might get me with this. Diamond switch+Zoom64 Case Kit=$179

Everything

[uncut wolf]

Decided to do something quite unhinged. I managed to meticulously take each of my UFO's apart and individually relubed them. Not gonna lie, they sound wonderful when they're relubed. I just wish it didn't take 5 hours over 2 days. 😭

I honestly like the sound of them after the relube over the cullinan

[chilly mural]

Did you also watch Kdrama during that?

[uncut wolf]

Nah

[sacred elm]

Are they all fine or you damaged some

[uncut wolf]

They all work. No casualties.

[sacred elm]

Maybe one day I'll do the same

Did you open with a screwdriver or with 2 switch pullers

[uncut wolf]

Nah I did it a different way

[sour dune]

just upgraded switches and changed layout completely!

btw can anyone tell me if I fucked up with the layout?

[uncut wolf]

I pushed the light diffuser out and slipped a razor blade in the seam between the top and bottom housings and pried them open on one side, waited for the latch to click, slipped a pair of tweezers in the open gap to stop it snapping shut, then pried on the opposite side with the razor blade the same way

It was very tedius but it worked

Sometimes if I was lucky the switch would open by itself by prying open on only 1 side

[uncut wolf]

Generously lubed the guiding rails on the stem, ran a thin film around the inner bore of the top housing and a thin film on the bottom of the magnet

Snapped them back together

Stuffed the light diffuser back into the switch from below

It does the trick

It's just intensely time consuming

and your fingers will be sore

It doesn't matter which way around you stuff the light diffuser into the switch. Either way around works

you might find the ring of plastic that retains the light diffuser a bit loose when you pull it out. You can just bend the plastic back into shape to tighten it back up

[sly palm]

a way to lube the UFOs?
that's sounding good

[candid bramble]

God damn it omni type

GIVE ME YOUR SWITCHES

[uncut wolf]

They do sound lovely afterwards

I'll post a quick demo

surprisingly creamy

[sly palm]

I like mine rather clacky
but interesting way to open UFOs

[uncut wolf]

That's fair. and it's definitely way easier to make a clack build with HE

I still have cullinans in the enter, backspace esc and function keys tho for the RGB. Since I'm using polycarbonate caps for those keys

I swear I wrote something of such at some point in time

was hesitating with UFOs tbh
only thing I find meh is loosing .5 mm travel length

[uncut wolf]

They're divisive. They sound great and have amazing stability. Some find them a bit heavy too but I don't mind that. The biggest problem by far is lubing them

And their price

But I do agree the lack of 4mm travel options is disappointing

[sour dune]

was thinking about getting a few ones to try but I have expensive shipping

so not worth getting my hands on a small pack to try

and as far as I'm aware only officially available on their official website

Guys if I wanted to tape mod my keybard could I just place layers of tape over the original one on the back, the one that says get to know your wooting 60hev2 etc

[fluid ravine]

Hey! Seems like you need help understanding how plate material, mounting styles, and foam can be related to sound and how each factor works with one another. I might drop a whole paragraph at most but that's how I tend to explain things, so sorry if it's a bit much in advance. I will take things off with plate material.

Plate material have a great influence in the frequency of the boards sound. Each material can be similar or very different based on their material categories. To simply break it down on the common plate materials we use:
Plastic plates:
PC: Lower end of the frequency chart, tends to give a dead or muted sound profile
PP: Just like the PC plate, it's on the lower end of the frequency chart but due to its material it has a unique pop sound signature compared to PC.
POM: POM is a bit more rigid compared to the two, it still offers a low pitch sound but has a better "pop" signature to it due to its stiffness as a plastic plate
More denser plates
FR4: Simply Neutral since it's the same material as the PCB
Alu: Moderate volume and sound signature, can be bright and also has a unique resonance sound profile (can be hit or miss depending on the board)
CF: Bright sound profile, great for clacky boards, but depending on the mount within the board, it can be more of a slightly brighter FR4 sound signature.
Steel: The loudest and pingiest of them all

I won't really go into plate flexibility since HE boards uses standoffs but from greatest to least (most flexible to least) here's the order: PP>PC>POM>FR4>ALU>CF>Steel

Alright next topic is mounting systems. I'm not going to go through all of the mounting systems and how they work within this keyboard hobby so I'll just go through with what is normally used in HE boards and how they work and differ from others. The most commonly used mounting style that you will see across HE boards is most definitely tray mount. Tray mount is a great use for having the most rigid and stiffest mount in a keyboard. You screw in the PCB directly onto the case through certain points of the PCB and case and boom, you got yourself a tray mount. But tradeoffs with this is how it influences reverb and sound. When screwing in a PCB directly onto the case, it means that as you're typing, vibrations are directly transferring throughout the case because of these tray mount points and PCB to case contact. It produces harsh sounds within the board and case such as hollowness, ping, reverb, and all sorts of things. So what's a different mount that doesn't do all that?
Isolation mount such as gasket mount, gummy o'ring, tadpole mount, friction fit, etc. Mounts like these do a great job at isolating the sound of the PCB, plate, switches, and keycaps away from the case unlike tray mount, bottom out, and top mount. Another pro to these isolation mount systems is that they give the user a softer typing experience since they are not directly mounted into the case. (You can search up images on how these mounting system works)

And last topic is how foam works. I already have a full explanation here so I don't have to retype the whole thing. #🔧│keyboard_modding message Thock vs Clack & How foam works
TLDR: In a keyboard, foam used as a "sound dampener" can target certain frequencies of sound to produce a different sound wave length of choice, depending on the density and volume of foam that is being used in a keyboard. PCB Sheets like IXPE or PE Foam sheets are used as a sound modifier, which is used to filter or change the sound profile of the board (especially when bottoming out a switch).
When the mechanical waves of sound travel through thinner foam, depending on how much is put in the board, it tends to reduce higher frequency sounds, emphasizing the lows and mids, which we call thock. But if thicker foam is packed into the keyboard, there is less space for the waves to travel through, making the foam more like a wall or surface for sound and frequency waves to bounce off, which causes clack.

ok i lied
a paragraph was not at most

hey guys, im coming from an silent hhkb with topre switches. always loved the feel and sound, but wanted the HE switches for valorant.
so i ended up getting the 60he v2 with the geon raw HE switches. and they are waaay too loud for me.
i noticed that there are some silenced switches on the faq switch database. the XVX EC/HE switches look really nice, especially since i would be going back to my beloved EC domes.
the issue im wondering about is the warning about silent switches making the switches less accurate? and since i play valorant, im wondering exactly what the tradeoffs are here?

[uneven cradle]

Pretty much that, they're less accurate the bounciness of the switch makes it so you have to set a pretty high "deadzone" to stop incidental inputs

Orders of magnitude less accurate and generally not recommended if you're wanting the most competitive switch

[sterile fossil]

Hey, I need help with my Wooting 60HE+. I get a “Bootloader error” and Wootility Web does not detect the keyboard on multiple PCs. The keyboard still works for typing and in BIOS, but recovery/bootloader mode does not work at all even after trying different USB ports, cables, browsers, and registry fix. Has anyone had this and fixed it?

[sacred elm]

[ornate linden]

is there much info out there that i could check out to see if i could accept that downgrade?

[sterile fossil]

Sorry, I didn’t know.

[uneven cradle]

Not really, tikkens are accurate to 0.02mm and the venom has a hard cap of 0.3mm deadzone which I can only assume Wooting would be similar to account for that bounce

Not really anyway to test for that aside from using them yourself though or believing what others who have used them say

[fluid ravine]

Was busy earlier, but coming back to this message, any neutral to lower frequency plates work just fine. The influence of sound acoustic foams can drastically change how your board sound. Plates in their own ways have their own characteristics with sound in how the play in a board but they can still fit into the description of clack<->thock depending on your build. If you want to thock in a build, then just use the right foams and the right amount. Focus on using foams that can lower high frequencies and emphasize on the lows and mids. Try to take advantage on using a mount that isolates the module as well as use something like poron plate foam rather than silicone. For case foam, try using foam that is more spacious and dense rather than something like a solid block of silicone or just straight up shoving too much foam (it will do the opposite effect of dampening)

If you do read my Thock vs Clack & How foam works explaination thing, i explained how it works.

If you want to go further than just using foam alone, you can try using compatible pcb sheets (like the ones Wooting uses in their v2) or like tape mod as an sound acoustic modifier to change how the board sounds even more.
Simple way to explain it as well is foam being a gain meter kind of thing and the sound acoustic modifiers is the EQ tool.

[fluid ravine]

This is how much foam can change your board (you dont have to like how my board sound especially since im a clack and foamless enjoyer but this is just a prime example of what im trying to explain)

You heard of anything that he used ?

@tulip rapids if you have one is the rgb good on it and what do i do for good underglow

there's raw acrylic( clear transparency ) and there's acrylic (frosted coating ). I have acrylic. The rgb lighting from wooting module is good enough. Here's a pic at 70% brightness

And proper paragraphing

[fluid ravine]

[lilac inlet]

Would it be advantageous to go foamless if I want to achieve a thockier sound?

[fluid ravine]

Depends on the build
but you'll highly get better result of "thock" with foam

[lilac inlet]

Or just really really thin foam

[fluid ravine]

yeah sure

foam density also counts in the equation too

[lilac inlet]

Well I guess if I want to go thinness then PE mod would be the way to go...?

[spiral crater]

hey yall, i have a 80he build w/ ur ice ultra r1, just wondering if there is any switch out there that is more "deep"/bassy ? saw some r2 and the keytok as well as the tikkens

[sacred elm]

R2 sounds same as your current version. If you want deeper switch, try Nova

[fluid ravine]

I suggest not doing PE mod esp since there aren't that many sheets that are thin enough to not mess with the hall effect actuations bs

i dont recommend switch pads as well

[spiral crater]

oooo okok ill give them a go, btw would novas still have that deep clack on bottomout?

[sacred elm]

There will always be some sort of clack

Nova has very muted clack though, because of PA12 bottom and split stem

[lilac inlet]

I'm probably gonna pick up a 60HE+ (steel plate prob) soon, what are some first mods to do with it? (alr have WS deep clacky as switches)

[fluid ravine]

Get a new plate, preferably a plastic plate for your preference

[lilac inlet]

I'll probably tape mod it firsthand

[spiral crater]

oooo that sounds perfect, thank you very much!

[spiral crater]

but in the 80he since im forced to use foam, i may as well jsut go for a foamy build 🙃

[lyric nimbus]

my 2he is foamless

[spiral crater]

wait does the 2he use the same mounting styule as the 80he

[lyric nimbus]

no it uses tray mount

[spiral crater]

ahhhhhh nvm

if i could onyl just figure out a way to go foamless in this, i definitely would run clacky builds

[lyric nimbus]

i modified it to be bottom mounted thouhg

[spiral crater]

ahhhhhh

thats cool, i might look into that, and then get a custom plate so i can top mount it

I have my tactype sample kit in and these things are thock monsters

Unfortunately there is a notable qc issue

Snaggletooth keycap type shit

[spiral crater]

wait holy shit the wooting 80he can be built foamless, i somehow got the keysnaps to work in it, i need yalls best clacky switch recs

[regal patio]

Keytok nova build

[little glen]

Oh? Did you place the keysnaps where the silicone blocks would be?

If you could post some pictures that would be great, it might make me order some keysnaps if it works well

[spiral crater]

nope, i just took off the tape, put em in the regular positions (3 bottom: one on win key, other on rctrl key and one on down key), then two 2 fkm keysnaps at the top), but i do have the gt80 case, not the regular plastic wooting case, i think i threw that one out. and then for the ones on the top of the pcb, i had to put a strip of foam underneath so the keysnaps could be "taller" otherwise it would interfere with the top case

[little glen]

[spiral crater]

ooooo they sound very very nice

[little glen]

I really wanna give that a try now

[spiral crater]

the ones on bottom are the blue ones, i think they are super light i think 40a silicone

btw it does take some pushing/pulling to make sure it doesnt interfere with the top case. but overall it does work fine imo

and keysnaps are pretty cheap where i am, only cost me like ~30 aud for the 40a, 70a and fkm keysnaps

[little glen]

Yeah they are like 6 euro per pack of 6 here

So 18 euro total for one pack of each hardness

[spiral crater]

i honestly do think you might just get away with only getting one hardness, i went with the 40a at the bottom since i wanted it to compress slightly in case of clearance issues so it wont be too tall, and fkm at the back cuz i wanted it rigid to be as "tall" as possible, but i could be completely wrong and it doesnt change anything

but then again, i don't have the original wooting case so i cant test it out there sorry

[regal patio]

Keep in mind that you'll need poron foam between the plate and the pcb

[little glen]

I also have a gt80, no worries

[spiral crater]

yeah of course!, might get a second module, one for foam and one for clack

[spiral crater]

wait in that case, lemme post some pictures of my setup

[regal patio]

I also hand (over)lubed them

I have 2 layers of tape, a PET film and 2 poron foams and another PET film

also i found you NEED the strip of foam otherwise f-row will interfere with the case no matter how much you push and pull

[little glen]

[spiral crater]

ooo lemme give the ttc horses a listen

[little glen]

I dont think i have foam strips with glue on em

[spiral crater]

mines not glued

[little glen]

So i‘ll probably just have to cut the foam that came with the 80he

[spiral crater]

u just position it while laying the moduel flat and make sure the jst cable doesnt move it too much

u can buy some cheap poron foam off of ali, thats where i got mine

[little glen]

Eh i dont use foam anyway

So i might as well cut the things i have

[spiral crater]

true true, if you never gonna use em again might as well

[little glen]

Also, if you want, i have TTC horse and fr4 plate on my 80he

So if you want to hear it with the keysnaps on i will probably send a soundtest when i get to doing that mod

[spiral crater]

oooo yes please!, i was thinking of MAYBE the ti he, cuz i heard they were all the rage back then, but very expensive ngl

[little glen]

(I also have a current sound test where i cut out the middle of the silicone pad)

[little glen]

Horsies will be more expensive probably :/

But they are really nice

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[spiral crater]

ooooo yeah theyy do sound very nice hmmmmmm

[broken notch]

I want horsies so bad

[little glen]

Could also check out ws diamond

Those are new up and coming switch that also sounds good

[spiral crater]

i also did hear the duhuk herz are similar to the ti he

[little glen]

Would you still be interested in the blood diamonds or should i just get my diamonds for cheaper

[regal patio]

I think they are recolors

[little glen]

Yeah they are

[spiral crater]

ehhh theres only a 10$ price difference on aliexpress

might js go with the ti he cuz i dont want pink rgb tinting

[broken notch]

I would be!! How many?

[little glen]

If i buy the diamond set it‘d be 20

[broken notch]

I have 10 of cullinan and 10 of HotO

I'm on airplane internet atm, so dm if I don't answer

[sacred elm]

Also check Kailh Ice Cream magnetic switches on Ali. They're cheap, stable and sound good https://youtube.com/shorts/IGghORQBY60

[little glen]

I‘d trade blood diamonds 1:1 for cullinans

[spiral crater]

ooo they do sound really nice!, damn there are too manyswitches i want to buy now 😭

[broken notch]

Sure, I can do 10 then!

[little glen]

If you‘re going to gamescom we could trade em then or we spend the extra money to ship em back and forth

[broken notch]

I'm not sure yet!

I'm going to twitchcon allegedly

[little glen]

I dont even know where that takes place

[broken notch]

Hehe

It's about 16 euros for a package to Germany

Is that even worth it for 10 switches? :(

[little glen]

Probably not tbh

[broken notch]

Dang

[little glen]

#🌟│wooting80he message every time i see jades in one of these lists i freak the fuck out

[regal patio]

Make the word jade bannable

[little glen]

I‘ve BEEN saying this

i'm sorry @broken notch i think i may not get the blood diamonds cause it's like a 40 euro price difference 😭

[broken notch]

Yeah

Totally fair :D

[sacred elm]

Buy all the Jades from Wooting store instead

[little glen]

ordered my diamonds (and more stuff)

got so many orders coming in the next few weeks

[lilac inlet]

Does anyone by ANY CHANCE have a free shipping discount code

[broken notch]

No

They don't exist

[glossy pagoda]

DISCORD DISCOUNT is the only code available

[last tundra]

What is it that HE switches always sound so much worse than mechanical ones? Would it not be possible to simply take a really nice mechanical switch and then… stick a magnet on the bottom of it? Is there an intrinsic reason why they always seem to sound and feel so much worse or…

[last tundra]

Is this for the newly stocked Diamonds? Didn’t work for me

[little glen]

If you did that, it would sound weird cause the magnet would be hitting the bottom instead of the stem 😄

[sly palm]

No, this is for the wooting store

[mint oracle]

This is my 60HE V2 on a tofu redux with gravastar ufo switches and ceramic mda profile keycaps

[broken notch]

Shakycam

[last tundra]

Ah okay got it, that makes sense haha. So is there an intrinsic issue that causes the worse sound you are aware of?

[cloud crane]

Aiglatson is considering a Vella R2 👀

[rotund perch]

what difference is there between a flex cut plate (i think thats the term) and non-flex cut? is there any sound difference?

[rotund perch]

its sitll probably bad

[sacred elm]

At least he made it sound better, unlike squashy boy

[waxen pecan]

does anyone have recs for clacky switches and stabs for the v2

[sly palm]

#🪛│modding_faq

[regal patio]

Finally a clack enjoyer

[uncut wolf]

For stabs get the Knight V4 or YIKB. For switches read the FAQ

[regal patio]

He said that the the poseidons, cullinans ans heart of the ocean all sound the same

[waxen pecan]

Ive read that Wuque Flux switches are highly recomended, any idea why they arent on the suggested list? thanks!

[sly palm]

stabs are also mentioned in faq

[waxen pecan]

Im asking as I found a listing for 70 on aliexpress for relatively cheap

[uncut wolf]

The deep clackys are very nice and used to be in the list

[waxen pecan]

and on Ebay, "Deep Clacks" and Keytok switches from the same person for 40 dollars

[sacred elm]

All Flux switches are very good. If they are not on the chart, doesn't mean they're bad or something

[waxen pecan]

I prefer it too a muted sound

[sly palm]

because there are newer switches in some categories probably, fluxes are nice, no need to be on the chart

[waxen pecan]

I see, thanks! Im listening to their sound test and they sound really nice! Quick follow up if you don't mind, is there any difference between a 3.5mm travel vs a 4mm travel? besides the literal physical travel distance

I noticed 4mm is not very common in HE so im wondering if its a tikken upgrade

[uncut wolf]

Yes. You may need to add GEON spacers to your stabilizer keys.

[waxen pecan]

Just read so! 2 YIKB seems to be ideal for me.

Im based in CA so divnikey ships cheaply to me

[sly palm]

"may" you usually don't need them, unless you encounter issues with tolerance

[waxen pecan]

Noted! thanks. Just to be clear this is true on the split module as well?

[uncut wolf]

Wobbly stabs are a pet peeve so it's good to have them to hand

[uncut wolf]

Yes. The GEON spacers effectively lengthen the poles of your stabilisers to compensate for the shorter travel distance of the switch. It avoids the problem of your stabiliser keys teeter-tottering on the switch when you fully depress the key

[waxen pecan]

I see, thank you guys!

Im gonna go ahead and order the YIKKB stabs 2x and the Deep Clack switches

along with the stem spacers

[uncut wolf]

That's a solid combo

[sacred elm]

Get 1 full size set instead, it has enough 2u wires for the split 60HE v2 https://milktooth.com/products/typeplus-stabilizers-fullsize
