UWU rattle

[daring vale]

Hello!

I've recently been really enjoying the UWU. However, I'm looking for some perspective/a possible fix for an issue I have with it.

Some keyboards can have a rattling/ticking noise when they are pressed, which from what I have researched only occurs with keys that have stabilizers. However, I've observed something to a similar effect with the UWU, which makes this very subtle rattling noise when I press the keys. This is slightly bothersome, and was wondering if this is normal or if there is a fix for this.

I suspect that I'm simply not used to using a much lighter switch, which consequently moves around much more easily, producing that noise. I use EC Sakura V2s on my keyboard which are much heavier, so I assume they don't make this rattling noise because they are more resistant to movement.

Here's a video of my problem, I hope this helps.

Thank you!

Hello!
As fellow UwU user, yeah, most likely switch is the culprit here. To reduce the rattle you may either use heavier switch (you also get 3x L60 with your UwU ), or mod the switches to reduce the rattle, for example with medical tape https://discordapp.com/channels/167181566978555904/1166204178759176283/1167178974934356159
Also, soon there will be Lekkers v2 released, which address the issue of switch rattle/wobble

That seems like the exact problem I am having. I have the L60s here with me, but no tools to switch them out. Can you recommend any cheap tools that you'd use?

If that doesn't work, is there a way to find out more about the Lekker v2s?

I personally use the switch puller from Wooting toolkit https://wooting.io/product/blank-switch-toolkit, but any switch puller from Amazon will work, as long as it has 90° "teeth", for example https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Switch-Puller-for-Keyboards/dp/B08K3MLW9L
You may also very carefully try to lever them out with a small flat screwdriver

As for Lekker v2s - soon we will reveal more about them You can check #🌟│wooting80he for updates on them

Thank you! Can that also take the keycap itself off with that tool, or do I also need a separate tool for that?

Also, if I may, what are the differences between the L45's and the L60's? I'm not really a keyboard guy, but I'd like to know if there's any significant differences, because it might affect osu gameplay

[violet furnace]

For keycaps you can either get a keycap puller (for example https://www.amazon.com/Qisan-Stainless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Magicforce/dp/B01HPC88HM) or try to remove them with your fingers or some tool, screwdriver or a fork will do

The only difference between L45 and L60 is spring - L60s are a bit heavier to press, the difference is not big, but it may affect your osu gameplay

Great, that answers all of my questions. Thank you so much

Oh, actually one more thing. How's this? I don't want to make any mistakes lol https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075CZCTXM/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A3FLQ836VQBESE&psc=1

[violet furnace]

Yeah, it'll do, although I wouldn't expect it to last for long
