I got a new set of stabilizers are stabilizers normally lubed or should I lube them?

[candid bramble]

@cloud crane

Someone is cutting pei plate for venom

I might try a pei plate

[thorn zealot]

unless u like rattly dry stabs u need to lube em

new ones dont come prelubed

[cloud crane]

Piss plate good

[candid bramble]

Or pom not too sure

I don't really want a piss colour plate in between the pc case

[candid bramble]

I am rethinking my build

I am thinking like pom ur ice v2

[cloud crane]

Abs plate

[candid bramble]

Yea but idk if I wanted a piss plate

[chilly mural]

mmm, bey blade

[cloud crane]

[regal patio]

POM is great

[steep needle]

Question for anyone who had a custom plate cut for the 60HE, do I just use the dxf file wooting gives in the github, and get some 3.5mm standoffs? Is that all?

[jolly dagger]

Just got a 80he after having my 60he for a while, I had the Tofu60 Redux Case with it which worked fine, currently with my 80he along with gt-80 case, I'm experiencing ghosting. I've tested and my desk is the cause as I have a secret labs magnus pro with the magpad, anyone know a fix for this as just raising my actuation point isn't helping in anyway as sometimes some keys don't work all together until I slightly adjust my keyboard. Preferably was looking at putting something in-between the pcb and the bottom of the case for a cleaner look, but unsure if anything exists.

[little glen]

you will need to use a non magnetic deskpad and ideally a keebmat on top

to create some distance from the magnetic interference

[jolly dagger]

ill use that for now i guess, i saw the technical team at some point got 2 of these desks hopefully they can figure out a solution, looks like a lot of us have these two products which are interfering, weird my 60he didnt have this.

[tulip rapids]

have you tried opening the keyboard up and seeing if the cables are plugged in properly ?

[wispy wharf]

My diamonds came in but I'm too tired from my wedding

[tulip rapids]

was that yesterday?

[tulip rapids]

the wedding

[wispy wharf]

Yeah

It's a holiday here today

[tulip rapids]

congratz on wedding.....why you no post cake?

[wispy wharf]

And I have a pool party later

[tulip rapids]

WHY I NO SEE CAKE

[wispy wharf]

What's ur address I'll send you some

[little glen]

pro tip: diamonds are not suitable for pool party

dont ask how i know

[wispy wharf]

Thanks

[tulip rapids]

pictures will suffice nadia

[little glen]

did your wedding ring have a diamond switch on it

is that why you scheduled on the same day they would arrive

[tulip rapids]

real

that be tuff

[wispy wharf]

No but it does have some small stones in it

[tulip rapids]

from wuque ?

[wispy wharf]

Yes the wuque stone switches

They are entirely grey pa12

[little glen]

[wispy wharf]

They sound dead as a rock

[little glen]

perfect recommendation for all the people asking for thock

[wispy wharf]

Honestly? Would

The thock rock

[tulip rapids]

i have a feeling nadia didnt take pics of the cake

[wispy wharf]

This thing is neat

[tulip rapids]

[marsh knoll]

are there any new interesting switch releases that are scheduled soon?

[wispy wharf]

yeah i couldn't get them to make it fully transparent

this wuque titanium switch puller is really nice

[tulip rapids]

i gotta to get a new switch puller im tired using the wooting one 🫩

[wispy wharf]

metal or plastic?

[tulip rapids]

both

geon raws ruined those

last year

[wispy wharf]

oofie

[little glen]

i have like 3 pullers

[wispy wharf]

only 3?

jk i only have 3 too lol

[little glen]

3 non wooting ones*

i have a generic metal one (its bad), tx puller, tx multitool and the ws titanium is in the mail

[tulip rapids]

i was thinking about getting the tx multitool

how you like it @little glen ?

[little glen]

i like it

[wispy wharf]

wasn't it only good on some switches?

[little glen]

i use it to pull switches, very comfortable

ik that sno uses it to pull keycaps and it seems to work well for that as well

[quick finch]

i was pleasantly surprised by the puller that came with the UFOs tbh

i have like 4 busted wooting pullers

[wispy wharf]

what does it look like?

[tulip rapids]

same

[wispy wharf]

that looks like the one i got with a set of keycaps recently and i honestly didn't care for the indent where you press

[wispy wharf]

holy shit the mod keys sound so incredible with diamonds

[wispy wharf]

should i build a neo with keygeek y2?

[little glen]

cant wait to get mine

[cloud crane]

Yes but not keygeek y2, try wingtree jadeite, keygeek su color v2 (better y2), hmx caramel pudding v2, etc

[thorn zealot]

yes but with vint cherry blues

[cloud crane]

https://youtube.com/shorts/qjtFrAHanf4
Wingtree be cooking

[wispy wharf]

clacky

and poppy

[cloud crane]

[wispy wharf]

[cloud crane]

Can always buy 10 of each switch and see which one you like the most

[chilly mural]

mic seems too close. I'll wait for sno to cook

[wispy wharf]

one of my diamonds had some weird crunch i had to press out on one corner

[cloud crane]

Sno ain't reviewing MX switches son

[wispy wharf]

nvm it's still there

[chilly mural]

OH I thought it's HE lmao

[cloud crane]

[wispy wharf]

my guess is some sort of stem or housing defect because it's right on one side of one of the rails

[signal dagger]

congrats on the wedding Nadia! Glad your diamonds came in too!

[thorn zealot]

if that was he id be coppin em rn

[wispy wharf]

thank you! i think i am firmly in the realm of diminishing returns with these

[wispy wharf]

is the mmd ar80 a clone of the holy80

these diamonds FEEL creamy

[dawn silo]

any thoughts on the keytok nova switches?

[humble surge]

Very good switches, feels a little odd after a while, mushy to type on. But other than that very fun to use.

[pliant tinsel]

what are those new ufo switches ? Booty switches 😭 ?

[humble surge]

Not sure, sounded like some late April fools joke

by the looks of it just a swapped diffuser for the Pink/peach version

[wispy wharf]

Where the nipples at

[void hornet]

hello, im planning to buy the keytok nova switches for my wooting 80he but i would like to know if they are really as loud as i cant tell from videos

currently on stock wooting 80he (pcr) and i havent modified a kb yet so this would be my first, is there any recommendations?

[humble surge]

they arent loud whatsoever, somewhat quiet in fact

[humble surge]

you wish 😁

[void hornet]

thats nice ill probably get those over the ufos then, ty.

[humble surge]

ask Trips, she got some recently aswell

[void hornet]

^ u got any idea?

like extras like tape or smth idk lol

[humble surge]

i didnt use any, i modified the case, keycaps and switches only so far

[regal patio]

The Keytok nova's are probably the quietest not silent switches

[void hornet]

do u know any site which packages them normally?

ts has to be the most obnoxious packaging ever for 85 switches 😭

[void hornet]

(I heard some do but theyre sold out)

[fallow mica]

hey guys, can somebody help me? i cant find an poron sheet 1mm for wooting 60he v2

aliexpress preference.

[fluid ravine]

poron sheet as in like the PCB Sheet?

[fallow mica]

foam

[fluid ravine]

So plate foam?

[fallow mica]

https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005006125972230.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

Like this, but with 1mm thickness

[fluid ravine]

oh case foam 😂

[fallow mica]

yeah, sorry :/

[fluid ravine]

i dont know what ali offers but i think you can buy a sheet of 1mm poron or EVA and just cut it up yourself

[lilac inlet]

I like big booty switches

[fluid ravine]

cheaper that way too im pretty sure

[fallow mica]

hmmm, thx

@glacial wind i am spreading the sony lens gospel

You still got more megapixels than me

[fluid ravine]

[uneven cradle]

What kind of lenses you got on that some of those old dx lenses are nicee

[fluid ravine]

Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm F/4-5.6D
Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G II AF-S DX Lens
nikon quantaray 28-300mm lens

took me a bit to figure out what lenses i got but yeah i got 4 lenses for my d3200

[calm pulsar]

some are thocky some clacky

[fluid ravine]

but can they thack

[uneven cradle]

Damn you got some super zooms

[fluid ravine]

[thorn zealot]

sounds u like didnt watch tape

rookie mistake

[fluid ravine]

is this a reference im missing 😭

i def didn't watch tape then

[thorn zealot]

yeah u dont know ball

tough luck

[fluid ravine]

damn

fill me innnnn

[thorn zealot]

ion even know what ur talkin abt

looks like ingredients for a japanese recipe

[thorn zealot]

yeah u watched em blank tapes didnt ya

fool

[fluid ravine]

froggy is lost

[thorn zealot]

maybe we should watch some film instead

[charred spindle]

anyone tried the budget switches or do you think i should go for lekker tikkens instead

[sly palm]

I would say the lekker tikkens are the budget option

[charred spindle]

alrighty

also what does 4mm travel have to do with anything on the switches

[sly palm]

it says how much travel distance the switch has, like you can press a 4mm travel switch 4mm down to bottom it out

[cyan zodiac]

you can push the stem 4mm down before it bottom out

[charred spindle]

ah i see so its kinda like having more leeway with the actuation point since the stem is a full 4 mm

[charred spindle]

i heard the lekker v2s when you buy the prebuilt are hard to take off is that true

i have a fancy switch puller

[thorn zealot]

not if u take the plate out and push the switches out from the back

[charred spindle]

Ohhh

Ill look up a video about it when i get to it

[thorn zealot]

im pretty sure wooting themselves made a vid abt 60v2 assembly

[charred spindle]

Ohh i have a 80he

[thorn zealot]

oh they also have that too

[uneven cradle]

[little glen]

I had plans for today but i‘ll just swap switches instead

[tropic urchin]

You should definitely return them to me

[little glen]

Hmmm

No

Also, this big keycap puller is awesome

You can pull 3 keycaps at once

Goddamn the ws switch puller is really good as well 😭

Wooting should put these in the boxes

[rotund perch]

how is it compared to the tx one

[little glen]

Which tx one

There‘s like 3 tx pullers

[rotund perch]

this one

thick boy

[tropic urchin]

Real

[little glen]

The tx one feels a bit too stiff for me

[lilac inlet]

i really like this one

it's such a breeze to use compared to the free plastic tool

[calm pulsar]

gray case, black plate and cullinans, perfect

is that CF?

[little glen]

Hey I am in the process of lubing my 80HE right now and found a QR code behind the backspace key. The print isn‘t clean enough to lead me anywhere though. Does someone know what it‘s supposed to do?

The first woot video

Thank you!

[tulip rapids]

iirc the dragonball symbol isnt on the 80he module

[torn ledge]

It‘s funny to watch Calder in the lubing video and then see this old one haha. Didn‘t know the OG was the one teaching me how to lube switches

[tulip rapids]

calder has top tier expertise using lube for switches

[wispy wharf]

I don‘t know if I‘ll have enough lube doing it like this. Half of my keyboard is already filled with lube now. Should I keep going?

[little glen]

You should get a 12 liter tub to fully submerge the keyboard in it

[torn ledge]

Hey if Wooting made a video doing this I would 100% give a thumbs up

[little glen]

That would unironically be their most expensive video ever

[torn ledge]

1l is enough that you just smear with a spatula over the keyboard

Uh I just realized I‘ll stream the (just keyboard) lubing since you guys seem so fun. Maybe it will inspire someone (the one viewer) to get the keyboard haha

(I swear it‘s not a plug I‘ll not give a name to prove it)

[tulip rapids]

personally that hawk tuah lube never let me down

[candid bramble]

@cloud crane

so i end up getting alu and pom plate

and some kois with it

[sacred elm]

back in 2024 with this

[tropic urchin]

Neo lavenders clear Cro

[cloud crane]

Should be decent

[candid bramble]

yea might as well

[robust siren]

i need to hear kois on alu plate

[candid bramble]

i am able to pick up 68 of them for 70 rmb

thats like 1 rmb per swtich

so not bad

if not i can just change it out for ur ice v2

[candid bramble]

i will do a soundtest when everything is here

[snow escarp]

hi quick question, how do i fix the spacebar from sounding rattly-ish, especially whilst tapping the sides of the spacebar, every other stabilizer key is smooth so i doubt lubing is a problem

multiple spacebars in case they are warped or dont fit properly (i dont think it is warped)

[bleak jolt]

Man the ego80 case, is actually really good. Glad I tried it.

with the ufo switches

[thorn zealot]

i mean the space stab could always have less lube than the rest

the wire could also not be perfectly straight

[snow escarp]

may look into it

may buy lube

aaa

[little glen]

Spacebar‘s massive size also accentuates any issues with the stabiliser

Smaller keys have a lot more margin for error

[snow escarp]

should i order new plate mouth stabs or are the current fine (yes i read faq but i am still uncertain 😭)

[thorn zealot]

if u tune and lube the stock ones u should be fine

[snow escarp]

dope

thank u all

[thorn zealot]

tbh idk why so many ppl get new stabs

since u still have to lube and tune those too

[snow escarp]

uncertainty probably

mhm

also 205g0 should be fine for lube right

[thorn zealot]

👍

[little glen]

Some of them can be easier to lube/tune

Typeplus stabs for example need like no work at all, you just give them a light coat of lube and assemble

[thorn zealot]

ik but tbh the stock ones arent even hard either

[little glen]

[thorn zealot]

ik there are some cases where stock stabs are genuinely cooked

but thats abt it

[little glen]

I swap my stabs cause i already have extras laying around

[snow escarp]

ship them to me

[little glen]

I can give you free stock stabs if you want em

Just come pick them up

[snow escarp]

FREE

ummm

😭

[thorn zealot]

i still have my stock stabs from the 60 v1+

[trail bane]

Okay guys, what do you recommend, schema60 or ophanim?

[wispy wharf]

Are ceramic caps washed

[cyan lark]

Not inherently

[wispy wharf]

Huh?

[cyan lark]

NOT INHERENTLY

[calm pulsar]

all my homies HATE ceramic keycaps

[tulip rapids]

why did i think this said wrapped like as in car being wrapped

[tulip rapids]

choked on my water thx unc

[spring hawk]

Rate the keycaps

[little glen]

very cool

a bit busy for me but very cool overall

[maiden plank]

whats the best way to configure wootility so the keyboard mimics a controller input while still being a keyboard

should I make profiles on a game by game basis?

[sly palm]

probably using game pad

[thorn zealot]

the better play is to send stabs to jakub to tune for me

[tropic urchin]

Not sure you want that but I might be mistaken this time around

[harsh dove]

Would look nice with Silver case

[prime orbit]

Does anyone have an ev63 here?

What's the best sounding case for 80he?

[little glen]

Idk about best sounding but gt-80 is hands down most moddable due to catch ball system

[wispy wharf]

Does it come with case foam

[calm pulsar]

and most handsome

[little glen]

Just use poly fill, its better than having a foamy sounding board

Honestly if ur gonna stuff it with foam, just use the one you like best looks wise, foam will always foamy

PP, PC, POM

What's your budget

[rose sierra]

im sorry to bother but could you be able to tell me the difference in sound profile?

[wispy wharf]

PP is deep, quiet, but very soft flexy plate

[rose sierra]

no budget but i would prefer to spend under 100$ for wooting 60 he

[wispy wharf]

PC is the most muted and a little less deep

POM is a medium poppy deepish sound

[wispy wharf]

Flux deep clacky from AliExpress

But if you have a little more probably keytok nova

[rose sierra]

i dont really know much about magnetic switches but would the speed be the same? im immortal 3 in val so the speed matters for me too

[wispy wharf]

Like rebound speed?

[rose sierra]

yes

or does that just matter on the springs

[wispy wharf]

It's all about the same if you use plastic keycaps

[rose sierra]

what affects the speed on the switches?

[wispy wharf]

The force of the spring is much greater than the weight of the stem and keycap

[wispy wharf]

Spring weight

And maybe travel distance

But you just set rapid trigger and you'll be fine

[rose sierra]

okay thank you so much for your help! you're very kind and knowledgeable

[wispy wharf]

Null sweat

[rose sierra]

how do i know if a keyboard plate is compatible with the wooting pcb?

and is there a specific brand that is best

[wispy wharf]

60 is a standardized layout

A lot of cases come with plates

Zoom64 is popular

[autumn temple]

Is there a noticeable sound difference between the UFO gravastars versus Lekker Tikken switches?

Curious for people that own both what you're thoughts are ?

Cause from the sound test the UFO's sound a bit richer and deeper but IRL might be a different story?

[wispy wharf]

Gravastars lube dries out and they're a bitch to open

[autumn temple]

Based on the soundtest from Wooting database the UFO's sound a bit richer and deeper do they sound that good IRL?

[wispy wharf]

Haven't had the opportunity

[rose sierra]

should i get black keyboard plate or white i got a black case and yuki aim keycaps

or does it not matter

[uneven cradle]

Unless said plates are for HE and GH60 it won't be compatible

[rose sierra]

do u think ordering cases and plates on taobao (chinese marketplace) would be fine? im visiting in a month

[uneven cradle]

Depends which ones I guess, generally fine though I know others have

American psycho mentioned

[cloud crane]

I'd wait for actual reviews first of final prototypes to make a proper decision

[tulip rapids]

I recommend getting the gt80 case if you decide to case swap

if i havent recommended that yet

[spring hawk]

Actually i was already think about either getting the black or purple versions of that case

I think im leaning more towards black since i dont want to completely over do it with color

[sacred elm]

Silver is more versatile

[cloud crane]

Raw

[tulip rapids]

idk purple goes hard

but like shafie said silver is more versatile

[spring hawk]

Decisions, decisions…

[tulip rapids]

iirc that bwaaa enjoyer did that mod

[cloud crane]

Strip off anodization then clear coat

[tulip rapids]

where is bwaaa when you need him the most

[sacred elm]

I think with purple case you're stuck with purple keycaps, same goes with the black tbh

On silver you can put whatever you want and it will look nice

[spring hawk]

I think bro likes silver

[tulip rapids]

berry berry true🙂‍↕️

[tulip rapids]

you cant go wrong with silver

i have silver and so do a lot of people

but at the end of the day its your choice and mod

these arent gt80 cases but maybe it gives you a rough idea how it will look and match

currently trying to find silver pic for you

[spring hawk]

I looked online a bit and found this mod that i think uses the same keycaps as me but for a different keyboard

[tulip rapids]

thats a different colour than the ones we recommended you

[cloud crane]

Love silver

[robust siren]

yummers

[calm pulsar]

I read it as "I hate silver" and almost banned you

[spring hawk]

@tulip rapids welp, i bought the case!

And i went with the dark grey one instead

[stoic ocean]

You're right.

The only thing I dislike is the pcb being locked at 8000hz for some weird reason

[sacred elm]

Unless you have some power related issues, there's no reason to set polling lower than 8khz on a keyboard. Unlike a mouse, it doesn't send continuous positional data to PC

[glacial wind]

Interesting write up from iqunix

[urban sandal]

That's good to know, I was just worried about older games maybe having issues with the 8000hz

[fluid ravine]

This is too cute

yeah i quite like it

[fluid ravine]

God I love alu

[urban sandal]

im surprised it sounds pretty good even without the keebmat

yeah alu is nice, but this definitely needed a little bit of polyfill

I wish someone made an o-ring case for the 80he

[chilly mural]

Nice nice. But it doesn't seems like they're doing it for their older board which is not nice.

[fluid ravine]

Yeeee

[urban sandal]

At first I put so much polyfill it became bouncier than my salvation

polyfill is a legendary material

[fluid ravine]

Indeed

[glacial wind]

The funny thing is auto calibration is what Wooting was doing the entire time and now people are focusing on it as if it’s some new thing

[fluid ravine]

[chilly mural]

Also the 80he number there seems to be the older one still

[fluid ravine]

Respectfully giving apple rn

[cloud crane]

Time to learn some CAD

[fluid ravine]

Who said thaaat

[glacial wind]

Yeah the 80he numbers probably on old firmware and honestly all these tests suck

Until Wooting implements a zero deadzone/low filtering mode we’ll always perform worse in these tests, but it’s pointless to have besides for the test itself

kind of like how magically we’re seeing Wooting improve on Chinese tests lately due to new firmware lowering deadzone, but our release latency has always been the same lol

The only thing that changed is deadzone yet somehow we’re performing better on latency now just because their test method doesn’t work

I’m curious how they explain wootings magical improvement lately in latency

[fallen pecan]

this guy doesnt really retest, so it's the 80he from april last year

[prime orbit]

Any idea on how good the new ez63 software is gonna be? They talk about like stability and etc more than anything. Kinda curious how it stacks up to wooting cuz I know the tests are a lil off

[glacial wind]

The things they’re implementing are things we’ve done from the start

It’s basically a lot of talk about adding auto calibration

How stable it is will be up to their coding. The tricky part is that auto calibration is only step 1

Ideally you combine both auto calibration + switch selector on top for even more precise baseline

The tricky part is that ongoing switch calibration additions require dedicated team doing it, so I don’t know if they have that team or if they rely on outsourcing that to another dev (which slows down implementation and reduces amount of changes/updates you can make)

[prime orbit]

ah gotch a

and wooting doesnt have the auto cali right

just the switch selector?

iirc

[glossy pagoda]

Wooting has been doing auto calibration for many years

[prime orbit]

oh

just like under the hood

As in there is nothing that says its happening or anything i men

mean

Just weird to me that companies are pushing out "new" stuff when others have done it for so long

makes 0 sense to me

lmao

[glacial wind]

It’s because they skimped on firmware before typically

Firmware devs are expensive and huge majority of keyboard brands don’t pay for their own dedicated devs

[prime orbit]

ah gotcha

so really firmware means most by far

Thats why these tests seem sort of lopsided most of the time imo

[glacial wind]

It’s outsourced firmware, so that’s why they do manual calibration and why updates take so long normally. It’s quite rare for company to hire many devs like Wooting does

[glossy pagoda]

Most keyboard brands use the same OEM firmware as a solution provided by the manufacturer

[prime orbit]

ah gotcha

ohhhhh

I thought everyone had custom firmware LMAO

[glossy pagoda]

They slap their own branding on it and call it good enough

[prime orbit]

Im assuming thats the same for all the clone mice too

That would make sense actually

[glossy pagoda]

Probably, but I don't pay attention to the mice space so I couldn't say that with confidence

[prime orbit]

so what sno was saying before with the whole 0 deadzone stuff. thats the only reason why these other brands are really ranking higher even when it really isnt

?

[little glen]

Holy clickbait

[quick finch]

Auto calibration is black magic. Sincerely, a firmware dev.

[little glen]

Only like one engineer got in trouble cause everyone kept saying they had no idea when that‘s basically impossible

[glossy pagoda]

On 7 January 2017, former top emissions compliance manager for Volkswagen in the US Oliver Schmidt was arrested by the FBI on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States.[317] On 11 January 2017 Volkswagen pleaded guilty to weaving a vast conspiracy to defraud the US government and obstructing a federal investigation and agreed to pay a US$2.8 billion criminal fine and US$1.5 billion in civil penalties. In addition, six executives have been criminally charged.[318]

On 3 May 2018, former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn was indicted on fraud and conspiracy charges in the emissions scandal case. He has repeatedly denied any knowledge of the rigged emissions tests.[16]

[glossy pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/magic-gif-4409990

[little glen]

When are you re writing the firmware in COBOL

[quick finch]

C is all you need

[little glen]

Doing it in COBOL is what i call job security

[quick finch]

huh, i would call it torture

[fallen pecan]

before and after, #9 to #1

[prime orbit]

yeah but its like idk how credible these tests are

[fallen pecan]

unless you mean their actual ez63, which nobody buys anymore

[prime orbit]

well i meant the hypercore or whatever

[fallen pecan]

the hypercore is on their pink ev63, which is in the 2nd pic

so there is improvement, just on paper

they can say they're the fastest, but you wont notice the 0.2ms drop in latency

[glacial wind]

The problem is mostly that boards aren’t measured the same due to deadzone/filtering. so a ‘firmware latency improvement’ can be literally just ‘reduce deadzone so it aces this test’ without any latency improvement for some tests

one boards 0.1 might be 0.4, another might be 0.3, another 0.2, all set at 0.1

[prime orbit]

ah gotcha

[glacial wind]

It’s all a mess and why it’s so easy to game some of these tests by just reducing travel distance

[chilly mural]

which makes 80he on that even more impressive, considering it has a lot of thing stacked against it.

[prime orbit]

so why has no one done a real test?

[glacial wind]

Because it’s hard when you can’t calibrate different boards the same

There’s no universal ‘okay all distances and filtering are set the same’ mode for all boards

[prime orbit]

so basically its impossible to know why is really best

[glacial wind]

So reviewers just set to lowest or 0.1 (or other random value) and measure response time even though they know it’s not the same

[prime orbit]

ahhh

[glacial wind]

It’s why you see Wooting magically went from not on the chart to one of best release times suddenly just because we changed some deadzone settings recently

It’s all a broken metric that doesn’t really show true latency

[prime orbit]

And at this point true latency only is defined by firmware im assuming?

like scan rate and polling doesnt matter too much

[little glen]

scan/poll limit your minimum latency

the actual latency depends on how quickly your board can handle the inputs and make signals out of it, that are usable by the PC

[prime orbit]

ohhh

ok

[little glen]

all of which includes stuff like filtering etc

[austere creek]

might be possible to have an electro magnet you can set to touch the sensor and then turn on/off with a relay so you get instant spikes

[glacial wind]

That’s what swagkey tester tool is, although Simon said he doesn’t like that either because it potentially doesn’t trigger the same filtering as a real press

[little glen]

or you just wire something up to the sensor directly

[glacial wind]

That’s the problem is when people do this direct method it bypasses filtering which is another issue with testing for real input

[austere creek]

yeah but then the reviewers are doing it right. they test real input and the latency of it

which includes deadzones and such

[little glen]

at the end of the day, no test will properly show every metric that could be seen as relevant by some people

[glacial wind]

Ideally you want 0.1 set the same for every board for reviewers method to work

But it’s just impossible due to how dynamic keyboard filtering/deadzone stuff can be

[quick finch]

also auto calibration doesnt work as well if you're using a machine that doesnt type like a human would

[little glen]

i dont type like a human would

i type worse

[glacial wind]

Yeah that’s other thing is we sometimes found reviewers would test uncalibrated boards due to not letting it calibrate first

it’s all a giant mess

[little glen]

at this point you should just make a reviewer's guide

on how to best emulate real world usage with wootings

[quick finch]

it's stupid because if you're actually gaming on it, it will calibrate correctly

[little glen]

what i think would be cool is if reviewers could show charts that include deadzone and some without deadzone, so you can see the difference

[glacial wind]

Problem is they don’t care. The reviewers benefit from just testing it how they test it and they don’t care if real world is different

Not to mention some of them are getting paid good money for a review too, so they don’t really want to do a test that will make all oem firmwares look bad suddenly

[fallen pecan]

ye most of them are not sent samples, instead sent retail units from their viewers, so they're not obliged to follow any rules/guides

if they're getting paid to review, the comments would reflect accordingly

[glacial wind]

A lot of them just disclose it as sponsored. At least for western ones but they don’t say much more

[fallen pecan]

for the larger chinese reviewers they just say they're sent the unit, but dont disclose it as sponsored

[prime orbit]

do we not have anything like the xlat but for keyboard? or can we use xlat for testing

[glacial wind]

it’s such a wide range. I know one that got paid $1k for their review and all they said was the video was sponsored

[glacial wind]

Xlat is a pain too because it’s gamed the same way

Honestly I’m more shocked how much some brands pay for a review on some channels

[prime orbit]

ah damn

[glacial wind]

I’ve seen a valorant channel do a keyboard review for $1k+ and get barely any views but I guess the brand paid based on their normal video views instead

[chilly mural]

damn, that's basically a month wage.

[glacial wind]

Another channel we saw their payment because their manager was a young fellow who didn’t know companies had to be invoiced and pay 30-90 days later

So they went and tried to put the brand on blast as non paying amount owed

then turns out they didn’t even invoice on time and expected instant payment

On the market for other switches besides the Tikkens that im currently using that are deeper fuller richer sound if that makes sense and that doesnt sound like plasticky hollowish or cheap sounding. Does that exist in magnetic yet?

Its hard to describe but mechanicals have this like full deep sound to them not sure if that exists in MGX

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?, is this from lube being on the pads?, I know i have to dissemble my 80HE to fix it, but every time the spacebar bottoms out on the right side it sticks.

I don’t even mind so much that he did the mod initially because maybe he didn’t know better, but the fact he actively keeps promoting it after being told is an issue

Bro bought KKB Dolch, he hath other plans

Sane folks would see the issue with lead tape instantly, apologise and stop promoting it/delete dangerous content like that

But he keeps promoting it

Is this 80HE from the first or second batch? If so, then the stabilizer pads are causing this. Best to remove them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBwhRDOVgJk

How can I tell? I bought it kind of late

bought it in september 2025 @sacred elm

Then there shouldn't be stabilizer pads. Wooting stopped using them after the first batch in 2024

Hmm

Idk whats causing this issue then It's def lube for sure

But idk why it's only doing it when I bottom out

Like I can feel like stick when it bottoms out and comes back up again

Stabilizer might be overlubed. Disassemble the keyboard, remove the stabilizer and check it

i did not know its a health risk 😭

Is there an unlisted video for dissembling the stabs for the 80HE?
