This is my setup for my Wooting 60HE. A lot of time, tuning, and trial and error went into this build to make it my own. listed below is the BOM and the mods I did.
BOM:
Wooting 60HE
Black FB60
Keychron PBT OSA light and dark grey keycaps
0.15 mm thick poron foam switch pads
0.1mm thick polycarbonate switch films
Scotch Blue tape
M2x6mm screws
Silicone O-Rings, 4mm OD 1mm ID 1.5mm thick, 50A Hardness
Krytox 205 grade 0
Krytox XHT-BDZ
Cloth medical tape
Loctite Fun-tak
Super-heavyweight paper (199g/m^2)
Mods:
Lubed switches with 205 grade 0.
Added a small strip of medical tape on the top housings of the switch.
Filmed and padded the switches.
Added 7 layers of Scotch tape on the back of the PCB.
Added medical tape to areas where the stabilizers makes contact with the pcb.
Clipped the stabilizer stems.
Holee modded the stems.
Lubed the stabilizer stems and housings with 205 grade 0.
Lubed the stabilizer wires with XHT-BDZ.
Added cloth tape to where the stabilizers clip onto the plate.
Swapped the keycaps for different ones.
Added Fun-tak to the tab, caps lock, backslash, and spacebar keys to fill in the empty space (Can't use them on the other keys because the stabilizers get in the way.)
7 layers of super-heavyweight paper cut to size with standoff holes to fill the case.
Burger mounted with the longer screws and the O-rings and tightened very loosely.
Reflection:
I think the build turned out great. Although its far from some custom builds that I have built before it is certainly more technologically advanced than any other keyboard I laid hands on. The fact that I got it to this point was quite the accomplishment. I might have done too much on this build doing too many mods on it which could have caused issues with Rapid Trigger and the analog range. Also making sure that the analog range is only minimally affected by these mods and that the switch position relative to the hall sensor does not actively change during use. The clack of the build is very nice, but it could be better. Initially I put cloth tape on the bottom housing of the switch, it definitely sounded better but at the cost of having a slightly mushy bottom-out. out of all the mods the switch films was the least beneficial. it only marginally improved the sound by making it slightly cleaner and was one of the more difficult mods to do as it is kinda annoying to try and bend and deform it around the extra wide rails. overall the build turned out very good sounding and has excellent performance with the "custom keyboard" look and a nice and clean "Lekker clack"
