Hello, does the Optimum case support the silicone base that comes with the V2 the same way it does for the aluminium case. As in it sits without any screws needed with grounding points?
Thank you in advance

silicone pad under and with the Pcb/module*
And are there any known third party cases that allow the use of the Silicone bedding under the pcb that you know of? These are important points for me to know as I order a Kboard
fossil raptor
Yes it fully fits friction fit pad but it has its own foam piece
So you don’t use the silicone case foam at the bottom, but rather a custom cut piece of foam made just to fit the optimum case dimensions and height
hallow crow
So it is ONLY the aluminium v2 case where the silicone pad fits?
fossil raptor
Not specifically only that one but we designed the silicone case pad for that specific case height.
Cases typically come with their own foam kits based on their own special dimensions and fit. So for example our v2 alu comes with foam and silicone options, optimum comes with its own foam, Kdbfans tofu comes with its own foam.
Foam overall is a much more popular sound profile, which is why most brands go with that.
hallow crow
Why's the foam more desirable than silicone
fossil raptor
most people prefer the sound of foam instead of silicone
more of a deeper sound tone than silicone
hallow crow
Foam...o? Huehuehue
I'm going to touch you.
hallow crow
more of a deeper sound tone than silicone
Foam = deeper sound profile
Silicone = more... Clacky?
fossil raptor
yeah clackier and muted for silicone
hallow crow
I see. Are there any Wooting 60HE v2 compatible cases aside from the base one?
Specifically any drop-in ones?
fossil raptor
Many. Ask in the modding channel and they can point you to them. We also sell a few of them ourselves
hallow crow
Where's this channel?

Thank you. What is the tray mount foam replacement layer?
I saw the graph difference between kb and module only
hallow crow
I never got an answer to this
fossil raptor
tray mount layer only comes if you bought module version of 60he v2 and it's only there as a backup in case you want to use an older case or a case that's not friction fit compatible
if you're friction fitting then you don't need it basically
hallow crow
I would be using a TOFU60?
fossil raptor
that is friction fit compatible. Watch the latest video on our youtube and it shows you how to ground it properly after friction fit, so no need to use tray mount foam
hallow crow
What if I were to use foam instead of the silicone pad?
fossil raptor
then you cannot friction fit anymore and you'd have worse sound and be forced to tray mount (if you mean the tray mount foam)
tl;dr there's basically no reason you'd want to use the tray mount foam layer with how you're setting up your keyboard. You can still use the foam/silicone case foam options with the silicone friction fit layer
hallow crow
Ah I see, you can use case foam WITH the friction pad?
fossil raptor
yes, case foam is different to friction fit/tray mount layers
totally different things
hallow crow
I see. So I have 0 reason to give a F about the tray mount layer. Understood, thank you
What is the best course of action for either thocky or creamy sound profiles with the keyboard?
fossil raptor
I’d ask in #🔧│keyboard_modding - lots of folks there who can advise
hallow crow
Hello, where do I contact wooting regarding damaged products on arrival? My aluminum case is scarred

Scroll up to the bot response for links.
hallow crow
I don't understand how I find my device serial number

Then skip that and wait for assistance.
hallow crow
Could I ask, was I meant to receive a wooting foam pad along with my pre-assembled PCB (tape, silicone pad) and Aluminium V2 case?
fossil raptor
no, just the case foam. The tray mount foam only comes with modules
hallow crow
I meant case foam, I didn't receive this
fossil raptor
check the box, underneath
a lot of people don't realise the bottom opens up
there's a layer under the keyboard that has your case foam
hallow crow
A layer under...?
fossil raptor
yes the cardboard box opens up below your keyboard
when you take the keyboard out, there's another layer below it that can open - your foam is in there
hallow crow
I will try this, I do however think I opened this.
molten cove
This is what’s supposed to be in the package with your module
hallow crow
Thank you very much, I will look
hallow crow
I found it, thank you. What's the difference between using this foam pad or the silicone at the bottom of the aluminium v2?
In terms of sound
fossil raptor
Just tone preference - most prefer foam for deeper sound tone
hallow crow
Even though the silicone is thicker?
I also see that there are two layers to the foam pad.
Could you answer these two things?
fossil raptor
thickness doesn't mean deeper. Type of material matters more. The foam is measured so it will fit just right, don't pull the foam apart.
just pick whichever bottom layer you like the sound more - it's totally up to you which material you prefer
hallow crow
Thank you again boss
The extra foam bit, is that to replace stuff like the brass plate in TOFU cases?
fossil raptor
if you mean with the specially ordered one with the tofu then yes you use that to fill the hole, but if you mean the general foam then no
hallow crow
So I cannot use this foam pad for a tofu case for example and would be forced to use the HE foam pad or the included ones?
fossil raptor
tofu has it's own foam that you'd use usually
our case foam/silicone is fit for our case
use the tofu foam with the tofu
