60he community modding

[lusty pond]

Didn't feel good on my fingers afterwards but it prevents it from breaking the switches then

[maiden kestrel]

So has anybody tried gummy o-ring mounting the 60HE?

[lusty pond]

Not recommended

[maiden kestrel]

I know it’s supposed to have an impact on the HE actuation

I know it’s not recommended, but has anyone tried it

[lusty pond]

You can try but if it starts messing up the actuation like you said then it's probably a ❌

[maiden kestrel]

Well, obviously I can try it, but I was hoping someone else already had

If not I don’t mind being the guinea pig for the group

[lusty pond]

If you haven't yet you can search up key terms on the discord search bar

[maiden kestrel]

I’ve tried, didn’t find anything conclusive

[lusty pond]

Gotcha, then Guinea pig it is

[maiden kestrel]

I’ll let you guys know how it goes

(Once I get my ARM)

[wary saddle]

Anyone ordered the new springs and installed them yet? If so how do they feel?

[neat sequoia]

Looking forward to your update in q2 2023 😂

[gaunt abyss]

cheap local oem, white laminate top 160x80cm

[opaque pivot]

welp its done for now

i put some PE foam switch foam under the switches

[tepid urchin]

Usually you have to remove parts of the pcb to allow the gummi o ring to rest on the bottom case. That will be very tricky with the he60, because there is a lot more traces and components on the pcb.

You can try it. But I don’t think it’s viable.

I will keep updating on my gasket mount, when my he60 is here.

[hazy sentinel]

Would be cool if wooting made their own lekkar compatible films

[hazy sentinel]

anyone here know if gasket o-ring mount interfere with Lekker switches functionality? im refering to this one https://kbnordic.se/tbdelar/ovrigt/o-ring-55a-gasket-mount-60.html

[hybrid rapids]

The prongs on the switch go through the PCB and decreases movement. When pulling is also better to rock it up and down and when applying for more, apply to bottom side.

These are definitely not the easiest switches to pull, but rather safe than sorry when it comes to all possible movement in plate.

[maiden kestrel]

Nice, gasket mount would be another interesting option. Please let us know how it goes.

[tepid urchin]

You have to budget accordingly. From my knowledge only the Hive60 and Sangeo60 support gasket mount in the gh60 / dz60 / wooting 60he pcb. Both are out of production and were not made in huge quantities. You will also need the win key versions which further complicates things. I will upload a custom plate file for the Sangeo60. But having a custom plate made costs money. You are looking at 500-600$ before including keycaps or the wooting 60he.

[maiden kestrel]

I hear that. I actually have a Sangeo60 already, but I’m not sure I feel like putting myself through the whole custom plate process if gaskets are gonna fuck with the actuation anyway

[tepid urchin]

why would they?

it's essentially a top mount

as long as you are using spacers and not a pc plate I think you will be good

[maiden kestrel]

I guess just the potential for flexibility since the switches are sensitive up to 0.1mm

Other than that, I don’t see any potential issues

What are you looking to make the plate out of?

[tepid urchin]

just standard 1,5mm alu

they are using mild steel

which is stiffer

but sounds bad xD

the first one is 5754 alu, the second one the sgcc steel used by the standard wooting plate

[opaque pivot]

I've personally never experience movement on a switch even in a hotswap board. Switch vertical movement can't happen anyways because the plate and PCB are screwed together, and I doubt the return force of the slider slamming into the top housing is enough to lift the switch out of the plate. I can lift the switches slightly out of the plate when i depress the front/back clips, so seems like the front/back clips are doing most, if not all, of the work when it comes to preventing vertical movement. I'm not sure if the side clips help with side-to-side movement; although that seems to be more due to loose housings, something ive observed on older gateron mechanical switches in hotswap keyboards.

[merry berry]

Would the wooting 60he fit in a freebird 60 flawless? If somebody did it could he Post a picture?

[tepid urchin]

Did anybody measure the plate thickness of the original wooting 60he plate?

I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a 1mm plate.

[weak hatch]

does anyone know if there are any polycarb traymount cases (you can buy)

but my wooing back in the plastic case and it sounds so much better

[tepid urchin]

idk about pc

but kbd fans sells a acrylic tofu

and a plastic case (don't know what material that is)

I would recommend to put some thin Sorbothane in the bottom of you alu case

and remove any case foam

you might be using

you could also try to reduce the airspace in your case

by adding a really dense material to the bottom of the case

https://www.isolateit.com/collections/sheets-pads/products/sorbothane-6-x-12-sheet-with-and-with-out-3m-adhesive-backing-1-sheet

Only way to get thinner / thockkkier than that is if you pick up the one that has 3m double sided tape on the back

[spiral hearth]

No. It’s not compatible. https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[merry berry]

That sucks, but ty! :)

[tawdry shore]

So now the only confirmed fitting case is alu tofu 60?

[tepid urchin]

Anything that fits gh60/dz60 will fit this.

Salvation for example is another alu case that fits it

Only thing you need to watch out for is that it needs a plate that supports plate mounted stabilizers

Or plate files that you can create your own

If it’s top or gasket mount you will need to put your own standoffs

To make sure the pcb and plate don’t come apart.

[mellow mirage]

clean

[analog junco]

thanks i've been a whole day replacing springs, putting on film and lubricating everything, but in the end it was worth it.

[analog junco]

Surely this was the first and last time ... in the middle of the work I just wanted to die. If someone is going to do it they need to mentally prepare themselves days in advance, otherwise it will wear out your soul💀

[mellow mirage]

is it even worth doing?

surely the factory lube isnt that bad

[analog junco]

Absolutely yes, the factory keyboard is well lubricated, but for the work that I had to do, it was necessary to put the lubricant back on. In the end I was interested in having the best pcb on the market, the rest is all aesthetic

[mellow mirage]

which case did u use?

[analog junco]

Aluminium Low Profile 60% Case, you can find it on aliexpress in different color my is coffee

[mellow mirage]

nice

[tawdry shore]

Oh there's actually a list with supported cases from wooting YouTube channel. https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[light sleet]

some good cable reccomendations ? I assume non coiled?

[glacial harbor]

https://www.amazon.com/Tez-Cables-Keyboard-Mechanical-Keyboards/dp/B097QBBSSW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1DG8DHVOJZATD&keywords=tez+cables&qid=1660559794&sprefix=tez+ca%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-5

@light sleet

[tepid urchin]

https://coaxius.com/pages/black-lemo-project

I would go for black paracord and mdpc-x shade 19.

But you will have to wait for the restock in q4

[light sleet]

sheesh thats hot thanks

[fleet apex]

Installing keycaps

[upper mist]

/r/catswithjobs 😻

[fleet apex]

Woaaah. It’s beautiful! Corsair pro pbt keycaps iso scandi.

This sounds and feels amazing.

[flat plank]

Is it alright to lightly lube the springs in the Wooting 60 HE

[timber bear]

Cable mod

[timber bear]

Yes loob it like you would any other switch

[ruby crescent]

shouldn't cause any issues so yes

[rigid spear]

If I want to use cherry profile caps I have to flip the switches around, correct?

[timber bear]

Yes

[proper robin]

Wait really that's a thing? I just ordered cherry profile caps for mine so good to know I guess

[timber bear]

Yes they made it so you can use any mx switch with any cap

[proper robin]

Thanks for letting me know 👍

[timber bear]

Sorry any keycap style blahhh and no problem long day at work

[proper robin]

Kinda just thought they're compatible without touching the switches

[neat sequoia]

That is true, kinda. Some keycaps may work, but it is very close, and depending on thickness, tolerances, it may. But the obvious answer from wooting is to just flip them upside down.

[proper robin]

hmmm alright

Does the keyboard come with a switch puller? 🤔

I'm thinking that IF i have pull them off i might as well just buy the lubing kit and lube them too

[lusty pond]

Those eyes!

[proper robin]

Yeah, I ended up upgrading my order with the lubing kit. Might as well go crazy with it

first time ever I'm doing anything like this

[spiral hearth]

do CableMod cables provide enough power? Coiled and straight?

[timber bear]

Straight only but I’d go ahead and contact that’s as the make customs and pre buildt cables amazing quality too

[timber bear]

They have coils to but I feel that would not allow full power

[spiral hearth]

yeah I figured the same but I'd like confirmation if people have purchased custom CableMod keyboard cables already and whether or not they work

[timber bear]

I mean I can ask cablemod he’s a cool dude

[spiral hearth]

you know the people at CableMod? Do they have wooting keebs on hand?

[timber bear]

I’ll ask gimme a sec

[flat plank]

Appreciate the help man

[timber bear]

🙂

I’ll post it here when he responds dawgs @flat plank @spiral hearth

[spiral hearth]

awesome. thank you!

[rigid spear]

I don't see the option to add the lubing kit or the 50weight springs to my order are those no longer in stock/not available?

[weak bear]

yeah me neither

[gusty crystal]

What’s the verdict on the best films to use on lekkers?

I have some deskeys films laying around but just wanting to see if anyone used anything else that worked better

[crimson stratus]

Besides the GMX clips, are there any other options for silencing the upstroke? Preferably one that doesn't mess the the range of motion too much

[steep abyss]

Hey guys! I am still waiting for my 60HE since I opted for ARM version. BUt what do you say, would this be compatible with PCB? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wooden-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-Compatible/dp/B06ZYMCJBR/ref=psdc_428654031_t1_B08251K4FF

Also, I have stuck on "standard" 60% KBs before, currently typing on Pok3r Vortex. Would you recommend lubing 60He switches? I watched couple of How-to-videos for it

[proper robin]

They were still there for me when I got the lubing kit yesterday, and I went to check and I can still see the springs there too 🤔

[steep abyss]

Btw, are lekker switches opened with cherry opener?

[naive wadi]

Yes, They are

[steep abyss]

Ty. I have never lubed switches before but ordered a kit now, comes with 205g0 Grease and 105 oil as well as tools. Also ordered "lubing station" board for easier work. If I spent over 300€ for Signature edition, I can spend 30€ for supplies : D

[ashen mirage]

I wanna buy a tofu 60% case, i ordered mint keycaps, which colour of tofu case would yall think is the best looking with mint keycaps?

[proper robin]

White is always good

[unborn star]

darker versions for sure. I personally would go with the dark grey variant

[fossil venture]

Yes, honestly switches are very nice out of the box, nicest I've ever tried, but hand lubed they are a whole other level both in terms of feel and sound.

[steep abyss]

Good thing then I ordered that stuff

[fossil venture]

Just give yourself a decent amount of time to do it, took me at least a couple of hours, if not closer to three lol.

Worth it though!

[ashen mirage]

yea was thinking about that aswell, but unfortunately dark gray is sold out :/

[tepid urchin]

Maybe the lighter springs will do the trick f = k * x

[rigid spear]

Are there any before and after lubing sound clips ?

[mellow mirage]

can get from kbd fans

e white looks great

[burnt drum]

yes

[hard halo]

White is .... best

[minor kettle]

Couple weeks later still in love with my wooting

[proper robin]

Looks great!

[timber bear]

1.8m is the length you must achieve to be a able to have a custom cable as it is a stock cable length verified by cable mods and wooting @flat plank @spiral hearth with this straight cables at that size are the only thing that I believe to be able to obtain that length 🙌🏻😎 so technically 5.9 feet but I would only go 5.5 feet

[spiral hearth]

to be clear, so long as the cable is less than 1.8m it should be fine? do you happen to know the length of a stock coiled CableMod cable? It's unclear what the actual cable length is inclusive of the coil

[timber bear]

Correct as you can go into the configuration setup cable mod provides and design one coiled is kinda hard to use as determined by cable mod and wooting

[timber bear]

150cm but that’s end to end not coil

[spiral hearth]

Yeah I just figure that they probably measure end to end of the cable and not the actual length of the loop itself

[hazy sentinel]

is this gtg? https://www.maxgaming.se/sv/kabel-till-tangentbord/pro-coiled-cable-usb-a-to-usb-type-c-midnight-black-150cm

[timber bear]

Problem is the coil’s because the amount of coils counts as length 😞

[timber bear]

So that won’t work you’ll have to get one custom made by them for a total length of 1.8m including coils because coils add a shit load of length think about that

[hazy sentinel]

i see, well crap, i guesss i'll go for customs.

[bold skiff]

you can use custom cables, it just wont always work on max brightness + tachyon mode

50-70% is fine depending on cable and RGB profile (white LED's take the most)

[hazy sentinel]

Gonna be honest, I do not care for rgb really. Nowadays I just per key activation rgb mostly because it’s there.

[neat sequoia]

I mostly just care about backlight.

[bold skiff]

50% is also still brighter than huntsman RGB or just as bright as apex at 100%

wooting pcb's have relatively large LED's

[tepid urchin]

That’s just bs. It depends on the resistance of the cable and the connectors.

[timber bear]

Um no ask cable mod wanna see the message??

For all that matters to y’all

[spiral hearth]

is that just generic CableMod customer support?

[timber bear]

I’ve asked also many other enthusiasts and they have said the same thing and no @spiral hearth it may be but I’ve always got a decent response from them ordering cables as well

[spiral hearth]

I'm just asking because I could have done the same. you just made it seem like you knew somebody high up there when you said "he's a cool dude"

They're a fairly sizeable company with international operations and key retail partners like Microcenter and Newegg

[timber bear]

He’s worked with multiple enthusiasts yet they contact you directly when making a custom cable I mean I go to lethal gaming gear and Dylan is a best probs will say the same thing about the cables he ships in

Anyways there’s your answer no heat involved or needed 🙌🏻

[spiral hearth]

all I'm trying to say is I could have asked too. It just sounded like you had an inside guy rather than their normal support channels

you didn't have to go out of your way

[hazy sentinel]

This would fit the wooting 60he, and if someone has this keycap set i would really appreciate a picture of the keyboard

[tepid urchin]

I don’t care about cable mod. It’s cheap and they can’t change physics either. The voltage loss depends on the conductivity of the wire.

Usb ports deliver 5v, the spec lists a maximum voltage drop of 0.6v the Wooting 60he pulls max. 4w so that’s 0.8A at 5v.

With an 18 awg wire you could run almost a 18m cable. (That’s 59 feet). High quality usb cables usually use 28awg but if you have to you could just bump up the cable diameter a touch or use an active hub.

[steep abyss]

Yeah, I watched good tutorial and it said it takes at least couple of hours. Not going in a hurry!

Bought set of tools from MechMods, comes with everything needed. Switch opener, pliers, lube pens, 205g0 for swtiches and 105(?) for springs. It was quite well priced kit. Also ordered "lubing station" plate from Aliexpress to hold parts.

[narrow loom]

Btw, I just received them. Quality feels v good for the price, only thing that's kinda weird for me is the profile. They say they're 'NP' profile, which seems to be pretty close to XDA, I haven't really used anything other than OEM profile so feels kinda weird to use, but already getting adjusted to it

[proper robin]

Looks good!

Don't always have to pay a hundred € for nice looking keycaps

[feral siren]

Ahhhh so it's not just my copy that has the 'gapped teeth' effect between G and H ey?

It drives me nuts, I don't know if it's actually there or if it's a visual trickery for there being a dot right under the gap. I am probably gonna kill the LED at one point sooner rather than later (since it's the first thing to die on a keyboard), hopefully I will notice it less by then

[feral siren]

I used non-coiled cablemod, here's my exact configuration. works perfectly fine. https://store.cablemod.com/configurator/?load=kbc:c7dff193687e

Granted, I am kind of a nut about having too much cable and went pretty short. Been working pretty fantastic for me in that regard.

I ALSO hate the look of coils, so I dont know if you were plan on getting coils or not.

[narrow loom]

I've always wondered, what's the benefit of having the "quick disconnect" thing in the middle of the cable when the cable is detachable anyway?

I guess it makes sense on the likes of the Wooting Two HE where the connection is underneath with the cable gutter, but on standard 60% it doesn't make much sense to me 🤔

or am I just looking at it too hard and it's just an aesthetic benefit?

[feral siren]

Two benefits, aesthetic AND it looks cool when you do a quick disconnect by just slipping your thumb over it during a sound test in a video. Yes it's a stupid benefit, literally the only benefit I can think of besides aesthetic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDRUZbWQfWo&t=23s

THEORETICALLY (Allegedly from what I've heard anyway), the idea is that you have a Quick Disconnect for your keyboards so that you don't have to keep plugging and unplugging on the USB C port which could arguably wear out. But I've never ever seen anyone with multiple keyboard-end of a quick disconnect left plugged into multiple boards. Anyone that has multiple boards seem to stack them on some display or in the corner of the desk where it's fully unplugged. If anything quick disconnect dangling could potentially damage the port more.

But really it just looks cool that's about it. The coil is equally useless, no one I know actually utilizes the coil function on a nice coiled cable for the fear of stretching the coil from looking nice and tightly pressed.

[narrow loom]

Interesting, it does look pretty cool. I guess it is a lot better (if you're disconnecting/reconnecting the keyboard a lot) to disconnect on the cable which is more replaceable rather than wearing down your USB C port. Although, my solution to that, at least when I'm devving the keyboard is to use a USB hub with switches so I can use that to power cycle without touching the cable. The movement of performing the quick disconnect does look quite satisfying tbf 😄

[tepid urchin]

I have a Filco for example which doesn’t have a removable cable. So quick disconnect allows me to use the same cable on many boards without spending 10 min unter the table.

[spiral hearth]

this is awesome. thanks for sharing. I'm kind of an aesthetic freak and am already planning to case swap my Wooting to a Tofu 60 and get some keycaps with light blue in them. I'd love to have a cable that fits vs. yellow/black. Thanks for the first hand feedback

Also I think it would be super cool if Wooting made replacement straps for the stock case in different colorways

[spiral hearth]

and that works with RGB and Tachyon mode?

[glacial harbor]

there definitely is that "gapped teeth" effect on mine too not just because of the dot

i have SA keycaps and since they're taller, its more noticable

[feral siren]

Yes.

[feral siren]

Drives me nuts. It became even more prominent when I finally put it in a decent case today

[glacial harbor]

if i'm not looking for it then i really dont notice

[feral siren]

Turn off rgb you will see it as clear as day

Like a bucktooth protruding out of Megan fox

Maybe I can dremmel the plate down a bit?

[fossil venture]

I ended up just getting a regular white cable rather than a custom one, think it looks nice with the e-white tofu case.

Calder would approve, it's silicone 🤓

Also, for the centre screw hole, if I can't see it with oem caps, but if it's bothering you just get a white sticker to put over the hole?

The relatively cheap non special, non fancy, white silicone USB cable.

[feral siren]

About as soft as I will ever get a steel plate to sound I think. Time to finally properly tune stabs and call it a day.

[feral siren]

It looks clean. Honestly it’s kind of more aesthetic than a lot of gawdy cables out there.

[feral siren]

By the way if any of you get the blade, use their poron ring for the stand offs THEN do a o-ring burger mount over the poron. even with the steel plate, the PCB/plate gets SUPER soft.

[glacial harbor]

the sa keycaps make it sound a lot deeper

i love how deep my spacebar is

[feral siren]

yeah that's pretty deep

personall i prefer poppy sounds,

[glacial harbor]

i enjoy both sounds tbh, i just like the look of the sa and they sound nice

my backspace has that metal case ping sound and idk how to get rid of it

you can hear it in the recording

[feral siren]

Did you o ring? You’re a blade too?

[glacial harbor]

yeah i have a blade as well but i didn't o ring

[feral siren]

Yeah the poron ring on the stand off isn’t enough imo, but do a burger over that poron ring… mmm chef’s kiss. People on tofu are missing out. Blade is slightly pricier or trickier to get but totally worth.

[hard halo]

Definitely will try this the amount of squish with just the poron is very strange

[neat sequoia]

They have silicone standoff covers. How do you think those would do, with a burger on top?

[feral siren]

My Blade 60 shipped with poron stand off covers not silicon

And those poron covers do amazing with a burger on top

that's the standoff cover im talking about.

silicon on silicon... could just feel a bit stiff? But i dont know without getting my hands on silicon covers

[neat sequoia]

I have a tofu 60 in my cart, with silicone standoff covers and rings.

Open to a Blade as well, however.

So it comes with poron foam rings to sit on top, huh? Interesting

[tepid urchin]

does anyone know what those white distance poles are for? They seem to go into some holes in the pcb, that don't have grounding rings.

They don't seem to be resting on the bottom case either

And seem to be insulated by the paint

Are those leftovers from a prototype to measure the movement between pcb and plate?

I'm just so confused what they are for

[hazy sentinel]

wow thank you!

Hope Santa bring me a nice keyboard soon

[hazy sentinel]

just a few more weeks for na-rho hopefully

got gmk wob and a black blade60 ready to go

[timber bear]

Blade do be better sounding for acoustics

[proper robin]

My keycaps just arrived

Now just got to wait for EU-Pi to finish

[feral siren]

The nice thing is if you hate it you can skip it! But blade I think also gives you flex and squish because of no center stand off too

[glacial harbor]

i'd recommend using the foam that comes in the stock wooting case rather than the foam that comes with the blade60. It does a better job with dampening the case ping sound

[hazy sentinel]

oh really? thank you for the tip dude!

[hazy sentinel]

same here, i was gonna go for that set but i chose to go with Enjoypbt 9009 sets instead, loved the retro estetique

[glacial harbor]

yep no problem :)

[proper robin]

I was very close to getting those too, they look really nice

but I'm happy about my decision since I really like the color theme

[hazy sentinel]

i might still get the ukiyo-e later still, too bad maxgaming sold out the black-red-white combo. I prefer that

[proper robin]

Yeah I'm sure this won't be my last set of keycaps lol

https://www.maxgaming.fi/fi/keycaps/pbt-double-shot-keycaps-pohjoismainen-layout-hygge this one also looked really good

[fossil venture]

I'm not a fan of the Blade design at all, it looks wonky. Each to their own though.

[feral siren]

It gives ya lot more sound/feel options than tofu, besides those two there arent many options that aren’t past groupbuy atm

[hazy sentinel]

Did your cable set up handled full RGB and Tachyon mode? wanna know before i pull the trigger

[feral siren]

Check your length 1.8 meter is max according to others that spoke on this*, that includes the length eaten up by your coil if you have a coil. My length is 1.4-1.6 (I like it short) and works great

Total length**

[hazy sentinel]

in that case, i'm ordering it with your config rn

[feral siren]

Change colors tho I mean that shit don’t affect you I don’t think

You can*

[hazy sentinel]

yeah im gonna go with all white

[feral siren]

Also I 80% brightness to be on the safe side

I don’t use rgb effects cause I don’t like them

[hazy sentinel]

thats pretty much what im using on my GMMK pro right now

[feral siren]

Just regular static rgb for typing mode without tachyon

60% lighting on fps mode with rapid trigger and tachyon no issues

I don’t use analog mode at all

I m not sure which features demand more so I couldn’t tell ya I could test something if you want me

To*

When I m home later

RGb lighting effects straight up aren’t compatible while tachyon is on, I know that

[hazy sentinel]

meh, i dont really care about effects anyway, backlight is enough. I mean i could go without even, not l ike i got shine through caps anyway

[glacial harbor]

@feral siren were the screws that come with the blade60 long enough with the o-rings and poron rings?

[feral siren]

I stuck to Wooting screws because the heads were bigger. Yes they fit, kinda tight but they fit. Finding the balance between how tight you to is the tricky bit.

Also wootin screwheads are painted white to stick out less

Over the white steel plate

[neat sequoia]

I can’t believe how much shipping is in NA with KNDfans. Holy ….

[rigid spear]

They are sending it from China. That’s went the shipping is so high.

[hazy sentinel]

i just wait for divinikey to get stock

or use aliexpress

[neat sequoia]

Never used aliexpress. I thought they ship direct from China as well, which I opt to stray from whenever possible. Not sure what divinikey is, but are you saying both of these options are cheaper? If shipping from China, how/why would they be?

[hazy sentinel]

Ali seems sketch but ive had no problem the 2 times ive bought from them. I think they just use a cheaper method that can be prone to issues. Divinikey is a store based in cali, also used them 3 times, but they are great.

[neat sequoia]

Thank you for the info.

[hazy sentinel]

np

[rigid spear]

Why stay away from shipping from China? How would it be cheaper from China? The distributor in the US has to make money. The distributor in the US bought it from China, paid that price, now has a markup on top of that. If you buy it directly from China you're not paying the markup from the US distributor, but you get it faster. That is the give and take of distributors in general.

[neat sequoia]

Referring more towards buying USA or EU made if possible, and steering away, if possible, from potentially sketchy retail practices, which Aliexpress can be known for. Was not aware of where the case was manufactured. If the product is only made in China, I am obviously not opposed to accepting shipment from China. Paying for middle-man mark up is not what I am mentioning.

[rigid spear]

If you’re buying an aluminum case 90% or more it’s made in China. If it was made in the US that 80 dollar case would cost 150-200 dollars, at least. The reality is, labor in China is cheap.

[hazy sentinel]

Kbdfans has super expensive shipping + tax that waiting for divinikey to stock an item is cheaper by a good deal.

Just got my pbtfans neon from them with some lube cheaper than just the base kit from kbdfans

[rigid spear]

Yea they seem to price match surprisingly. I only went with KBD fans because the color I wanted wasn’t available on divinikey. My shipping from KBD fans was far more. Shipping took about a week.

I knew it would be here before the keyboard so time didn’t matter too much.

[hazy sentinel]

Yeah kbdfans shipping is good, which is what you are expecting when you are paying that much

When I was considering the tiger80 the tax was also pretty high

[rigid spear]

Yea by boat usually takes a month or two, at least. Things got really bad last year but the shipping ports have gotten less busy recently

[strange torrent]

Can’t wait to install ceramic keycaps and make that shit go thonktingg

[strange torrent]

Super nice set! What are they?

[daring raft]

Hi, so I've never modded a keyboard before, I bought stablizer foam and im wondering how hard it is to put in, I didn't realise you may have to take off the stab haha, I thought it would just stick on the board next to it or something

Did the 60 have harder to take off stabs or did I read wrong?

[hazy sentinel]

It’s all easy, there’s a little clip

I’d check out the official video from Wootin on their YouTube page, it’s the driest and hardest to watch, but it’s thorough

[hazy sentinel]

You’re right. But if we are talking shipments from China you’re better off just going to kbdfans direct, rather than buying from kbdfans anyway THROUGH aliexpress

[fleet apex]

Hmmm. Which set of keycaps…

[hazy sentinel]

Prefer the first one. The second one is Corsair? The text is kinda ….. bad?

[fleet apex]

Yeah. Camera makes the letters more "fuzzy" than they actually are, but the font is.... yeah, not my taste either. It's not terrible... But not great either.

[tepid urchin]

That just looks gross and disgusting to me. Those caps really don't match your case.

One of them is vintage inspired

and the other one is futuristic

the case could be from blade runner

and the keycaps from 2001 a space odyssey

everything in that movie has clear lines and shapes.

it's hopeless

to talk to you kids

just look at the damn thing

and you will realize I have a point

doesn't mean you can't like it, lost or have to change it

https://www.youtube.com/user/Chyrosran22/videos

just look at some of the keyboards that came with sa style keycaps

I ordered arm, still waiting for pcb and switches. But idk what that has to do with yours beeing ugly.

I will make sure to disprove that statement, in a few weeks when everything is here and together.

You are literally in a keyboard community. What do you want to talk / argue about? Sodas?

I'm glad you had fun and like your board.

I'm not bashing it. I told you I think the caps don't match the case. And that makes me really not like the look. That's it.

I'm done from here

[tepid urchin]

I literally said to me in the same sentence

Just get over it, you don’t like my case, I don’t like these keycaps on that case.

It’s okay

You put in a lot of work and have something you liked and are proud of. I will have the same thing. Good for both of us.

[hazy sentinel]

have you guys experimenting with other plate mounted stabilizers for 60HE? or stock is just fine?

[spiral hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-ramsay-what-are-you-an-idiot-sandwich-pissed-mad-gif-4781186

More like that lol

[lusty pond]

You should just change this thread’s name to “keyboard roast sessions”

[feral siren]

Naw let’s just keep chillin

[lusty pond]

@glacial harbor keeb isn’t even close to ugly though 💀 It’s definitely heading towards a roasting session

Mines ugly too @tepid urchin hope it makes you feel better

[feral siren]

A TOFU???? How dare you. FILTH disgusting!!! /s

[lusty pond]

[neat sequoia]

cough to play devil’s advocate, Rossi is correct in the fact they are vintage style keycaps on a futuristic case.

I mean I get weird stares when I wear my steampunk theme’d helmet on my modern bullet bike…. 🫡

[feral siren]

I mean to each his own

It’s one thing to point it out

“Bruh you wearing pink leggings under a green dress shirt”

It’s another to get pissy about it and start calling folks kids

Poor Taste Shamin ain’t cool

[feral siren]

Low key bussin look imo

[neat sequoia]

The replies to Rossi were deleted so keep in mind I don’t see the FULL thread, but reading what I do see, rossi did correct himself, leaning in the “to each his own” territory. Haha

I uhh, damn I am really looking at getting the Blade60 over tofu now.

You’ve ruined me

[feral siren]

I mean the looks are one thing, but the softness from having stand offs you get poron rings for, that’s worth digging up a Blade 60 for imo. They’re just not as readily available as Tofus sadly. The rather unique look probably doesn’t help its cause. KBD allegedly wanted to phase out TOFU with the blade and sadly I think Blade sells cheaper than tofu I think, if you’re willing to wait out the 2-3 weeks of From-China shipping

[neat sequoia]

If I go blade, I will probably end up buying direct from kbd

[feral siren]

Yeah no rush, you already have a pretty nice case for the board to sit inside

I mean it’s a better stock case than most, but the stock case gave me anxiety xD

[neat sequoia]

But I had planned on getting Black-on-white caps, with an accent wooden spacebar, and a couple black caps.

Oh no, I don’t have the tofu, i was just about to pull the trigger on the order before seeing your post

[feral siren]

Oh

What is that case?

It looks clean

I thought it was a tofu. Generic CNC?

[neat sequoia]

I haven’t posted anything. I dont have my wooting yet.

[feral siren]

Ma bad I thought you were the tofu up there

“Wooting People” all look alike to me I guess 😅

[neat sequoia]

All good. These threads are confusing as hell. The #wootstation is anything but a display of rigs

[feral siren]

Yeah I like those threads

Love marveling at people cleaning up so nice

[neat sequoia]

Then reading the next 50 comments about stretched resolution? Hahaha

[feral siren]

Or this channel talking about three different case options and stabs? xD

I dunno why they did the thread model either

I guess they really wanted to tuck away the spoiler section

[neat sequoia]

But that fits the modding theme.

[feral siren]

That’s fair

I don’t want to tune stabs

I m running out of excuses to postpone it

[neat sequoia]

So my wife and I try to keep the color theme of our home “BWB-G” (black, white, brown- and green from foilage)

So my thought was to get a white case, white keys, with 2-3 black keys, and a brown wooden space bar.

I am convinced it will wither look awesome or very wrong

[neat sequoia]

For example:

[mystic blaze]

I feel like it's a crime scene

[lusty pond]

PREACH IT

F*ck the negative people

[hazy sentinel]

Got my blade60 from upgrade keyboards. They only had black when I ordered but it seems like they are out of stock

[neat sequoia]

I don't own any skin rugs, It was a fast google search of the colors. lol

[mystic blaze]

I think those are only showrooms or instagram pictures, no place that tidy is a liveable space

I meant, I understood it is not yours 🙂

[sterile cave]

Put the module in a aluminum case and put low profile kinda pudding keycaps

Weighs like 10 pounds

Oh ye and stuffed it with foam under pcb

And tape 6 layers

[feral siren]

I tried DSA it was awful

Foam plus 6 layers? What does it sound like?

[sterile cave]

These low profile keycaps are like Cherry they are skulpted

Dident change the sound to much since the switches are weird

[velvet saffron]

Can't wait to receive my keyboard to start modding it

I'm eu batch pi

[mystic blaze]

I think only ones who can wait are the sea freight ones 😄

[hazy sentinel]

Eu PI here too air freight options so I’m praying for it to arrive soon

[feral siren]

Didn’t lube the switches again I take it?

Those key caps look really clean.

[sterile cave]

I lubed all the switches before

Only slight thock on stock case and caps

[feral siren]

https://youtu.be/NkVAcvMwhHA

[glacial harbor]

wow, sounds really good!

[mystic blaze]

my budget aluminum case for 60he is arrived, let's see if it will fit

drum60 is the name

it was approx. 40€ on amazon

on skyloong.vip website it shows a white version of it too

[proper robin]

Second last piece of my 60HE just arrived

Now just if the keyboard itself started shipping already 😂

You could definitely survive a zombie apocalypse with this case, feels sturdy as hell

[proper robin]

How does it feel? It looks pretty nice

[mystic blaze]

that's the first aluminum case I've touched, I can't compare, but it's sturdy and full metal

there is a thin line on the frame which is very reflective rest is matte

there are feets for higher angle, they are not so stable when closed makes a bit noise, but the case is stable so unless you shake it, you wouldn't hear it

[meager pier]

🙂

[tepid urchin]

Working on custom plates to fit the Wooting pcb into the Sangeo case

I will share the files, once my parts are here and I validated, that everything fits and works.

I will share ansi files too, just in case you are wondering.

[swift yarrow]

Nice!

[hazy sentinel]

Oh shit that’s next level

[unborn star]

oooo that looks sick! Just wondering, have you seen any for the tofu60 ?

also has anyone found any standoff o-rings that will work with the tofu60?

[feral siren]

Next level work here

[tepid urchin]

Wdym? The tofu works with the standard plate. You want one with extra holes for standoffs in between pcb and plate?

[feral siren]

Especially those holes to bind the plate to the pcb that will be key to making it work imo.

[unborn star]

Well I forget who said it but someone said the standard wooting plate is metallic and I'd prefer one that wasn't

I remember someone said that the wooting plate doesnt fit in the tofu but that seemed odd to me

[lusty pond]

Wooden*

One of them

[tepid urchin]

I don’t think you can run a pc plate on the wooting. I will try alu, maybe fr4 is possible, but at some point the hall effect sensors will not like the flex.

[feral siren]

Sounds wrong to me, it’s a slightly awkward fit for the port on both the tofu and the blade but definitely fits

[feral siren]

Ah the wooden cases

[tepid urchin]

You can drill those into almost any plate. The plate mount stab support is the main reason why I needed to make my own plate file.

[feral siren]

Yeah that’s a big reason too for sure, but if you just drill holes into a plate how about tightening?

I feel like on the standard plate it’s really the standoffs from plate to pcb that really matter

[lusty pond]

Looking at rossi’s Plate I’m more concerned of the gaps/space in between the bottom row/top row

[feral siren]

It’s is kind of shocking how hard it is to find good custom plates with plate mount support

[tepid urchin]

You would use screws on the top and bottom of the standoffs.

[lusty pond]

Looks to be a gasket plate, yolo I suppose

[feral siren]

How long would just screws hold though?

[feral siren]

Gasket should work fine as long as the switches original position/distance over the pcb while in use doesn’t shift

During actuation**

[tepid urchin]

https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

[feral siren]

I’ve stuff a lot of shit between the switch and pcb starting distance before actuation seems to have a lot of leeway, so flex cuts should be fine

[tepid urchin]

I will use these

[feral siren]

Makes sense

What material you cutting out?

[tepid urchin]

You can use locktite if you are worried about vibrations loosening screws

Alu

[lusty pond]

Posted those awhile back, Can’t confirm they work fine

[feral siren]

Naw naw I thought you were saying without the connective piece, if that’s there it should be enough

[lusty pond]

Should work fine 3.5mm, duh

[tepid urchin]

I will measure the wooting standoffs, when my 60he is here and also let you guys know how things worked out.

[unborn star]

ahhh okay thank you

[regal turtle]

Retro build. Replaced stabs. Lubed switches. Initially tried sorbathane. Too quiet completely deadened the board. Wooting foam bought out the highs too much in this case.

Went nekked with o rings on the screws and case resonance is vintage and deep 👌

Bluebird by Pita studio keycaps.
Apple logo harvested from a dead vintage board.
ADK64 case.
Zeal/TX/Owl frankenstabs

Bonus: my old build before ded pcb

@flint grove ADK64 case confirmed compatible with no modifications required. USB-C slot is nice and big so plenty of adjustability

https://rndkbd.com/collections/keyboard-kits-cases/products/adk64-60-keyboard-case

[glacial harbor]

love how it looks!

can you give us a sound test?

[swift yarrow]

Yeah that might be my fav woot so far.

[regal turtle]

I can probably whip up a sound test for it later tomorrow for sure. I don't have a good mic so we'll see how it sounds but I'll give it a shot at least

[regal turtle]

Thank you so much! A lot of work went into it ❤

enough for me not to tidy my desk after finishing the build and rushing pictures 😂

[oblique swallow]

what the fuck are you talking about

[oblique swallow]

u are a disgusting prick

[glacial harbor]

@oblique swallow ikr 🙄

[tepid urchin]

How much sorbothane did you use? Did you use multiple layers, or the thick stock? You could try only using a thin layer in the bottom of the case. If you use plate foam that usually quiets down the board.

[tepid urchin]

It's really funny how so many people show up that never have posted before, just to insult me =D. Other than @feral siren obv.

[mystic blaze]

you only accept insults from regulars?

[tepid urchin]

Nah, but not from fake accs, you are excused.

[mystic blaze]

long live and prosper

[hazy sentinel]

I'm still not convinced you have working eyes

[velvet saffron]

Yup

[rich cobalt]

What is the 60HE's case foam made of? Does anyone know for certain or have any good guesses? Sorry if this is the wrong channel - I figure enthusiasts here might be able to make an approximate guess based on experience with different foams in the hobby.

[tepid urchin]

I thought they mentioned it as a pe foam on the website.

[rich cobalt]

Oh hmm I can't seem to find that info. I don't have any experience with PE foam but it does look similar; I think you might be right. Thanks.

[narrow loom]

I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I've asked internally for you

[tepid urchin]

It is epdm https://github.com/WootingKb/wooting-design/tree/main/wooting-60he

Info is from github file name

I knew they mentioned the material somewhere.

[frigid crypt]

The damping foam material is called EPDM

[rich cobalt]

Oooo ok thanks everyone! Happy to be able to fill out that part of my little build spreadsheet 😅 I really appreciate that breakdown render of the different parts btw!

[scenic needle]

The wooden doesn't fit, the aluminium does 🙂

[mystic blaze]

you ruined the tofu for everyone 😛

[scenic needle]

Haha, I mean you can make it work if you put some effort in 😛 If you are a bit handy with wood you can still have something nice. But I have two left hands, so the outcome is a bit ew.

[white holly]

blade

[feral siren]

ey just called you out cause you were BEING a dick (maybe without realizing), wouldn't go as far as to insult you.

an alt account with an edgelord name to call people names isn't all that kosher either really

[feral siren]

realized today this exists and that's nuts

[regal turtle]

None, I only use dampening to change the acoustics of cases that are almost there or to do some fun mods with pre built boards.

In this case 🥁 the case resonance was deep and pleasant so no need to use any. My personal stance is if a case needs material it doesn’t actually sound good.

That being said I shoved it in my Steelseries Apex, took it out and I would go back to butyl rubber any day in any build.

[regal turtle]

Here you go buddy. Scuffed since my mic is in a different country atm but hope it’s. Okay

@glacial harbor

[regal turtle]

boop

Also pardon the puffy jacket sleeve noises

[glacial harbor]

it's not my alt account tho...

[heady flicker]

So what's the least tall 60HE compatible CASE? (looking for very low profile case)

[fleet apex]

Hate visible wires. Installed a little conduit. Not sure if a bit cleaner. Hmm

[heady flicker]

Looks good man. Mine's a mess.

[hazy sentinel]

“A mess”

Bro.

[heady flicker]

I have like 1000 wires it looks so bad

[hazy sentinel]

Bro. You just doubled down on my point. xD

It’s clean by normal people standards, verrry clean. I mean yes the Homer Simpson back-clips meme maybe behind the PC on a different surface now that I look at it, but that’s immaculate in cleanliness.

[fleet apex]

Thanks. Your setup looks very comfy and inviting indeed! 🙂 Maybe something innovative for the wires.

[heady flicker]

I never did any wire work, got any recs?

[heady flicker]

Thanks. That corner there on the left is my shame spot xD Also got work laptop there on a stool in front of PC. I guess I gotta figure out where to put my PC and do wires somehow.

[oblique swallow]

Modified hot swap Razer keyboard Halo infinite edition

Wooting keyboard

and two more keyboards that I'm ashamed of getting before getting into modding keyboards

[oblique swallow]

I think u are awesome

[regal turtle]

Don’t be ashamed brother. It’s a niche hobby but no one is better for getting into customs let alone mech keyboards to begin with.

[sterile cave]

https://tenor.com/view/pat-anime-anime-pat-pat-anime-gif-25530111

thank u

[regal turtle]

Ngl that halo keyboard kinda bomb though 🔥

[sterile cave]

it was a bitch and a half to modd it adding hot swap sockets removing the nasty razer green switches and soldering the sockets on and suffocating the thing with foam

also the razer stabs are extremely heavily lubed

razer stabs 1/10

razer needs to make a modder friendly keyboard i think that will make them more money in the long run

https://tenor.com/view/parks-and-recreation-tv-show-ron-swanson-nick-offerman-throwing-away-computer-gif-17541708

me when i got done removeing the green switches from the keybaord

[regal turtle]

I desoldered my Apex Pro TKL to lube and do other mods. Do not recommend. 4 pin leds are, exhausting, to say the least. Board turned out great. Love it for gaming and it's smooth as silk switches + muted sound with dampening work great. But God 4 pin leds. Why.

Probably the last food product steelseries made.

[mystic blaze]

that's night sakura for me

[steep abyss]

Now I just need my 60HE : D

[scenic needle]

Got it fitting in the tofu 60 walnut case. But my professional woodworking skills made it awful 😂

[narrow loom]

What did you have to do to it to make it work?

I also wonder what keycaps would go nice with it

[scenic needle]

Keep on sanding, needed like several milimeters off of it

Think black looks nice. But only buy this one if you have proper tools and skills. Me with my two left hands ruined this thing 😂

[narrow loom]

lol rip, is hard to see but did you accidentally scrape the outside bit while you were sanding the inside? 😄

[scenic needle]

i had the case laying on a hard surface which scratched it. Had to sand that too.

made a huge mess here haha

[upper mist]

I like the wood of the case, overall nice aesthetic, but black+brown together is a huge fashion faux pas 😂

Need to get yourself some white keycaps, or some other color, anything but black or grey haha

[narrow loom]

yeah, was thinking white keycaps would work better as well, would be curious to see how it looks

[mystic blaze]

Really? I like black and wood look, albeit it doesn't fit so much in this keyboard case as the wood is not dark enough, but still...

[mystic blaze]

The beauty of wood is that it doesn't look bad when damaged if you ask me... The industrial metal looks worse with every little imperfection but wood gets more character with it... imo

Maybe OSA keycaps with light gray and some orange, it would look even better

dark 9009 might be nice too https://cannonkeys.com/products/cannoncaps-9009-dark

[hybrid rapids]

Gotya 😛

[hazy sentinel]

Sound test please?

[scenic needle]

Planning to make a video comparing the tofu aluminum vs wood vs stock case soon on the wooting channel 😉

[hazy sentinel]

Wooo

Y’all should give the Blade some love

[naive lion]

i am going to attempt to make a tofukorn with the 60he pcb

[scenic needle]

I love the look of the Blade, but it is a bit too expensive for just one video unfortunately

[hazy sentinel]

That's fair, it's almost cheaper than TOFU when you buy from China/KBD fans but it's so much more expensive in all other localized stores it's kind of crazy

[scenic needle]

Erik already got the tofu, and I bought the wooden myself. Highly doubt the Blade would make the sound go way different. Not sure though.

[flat condor]

Is this the acrylic tofu 60? and did you add any extra led’s or is that just how the stock ones from the pcb shine through?

[flat condor]

Is this the o-ring mount case or just the regular walnut? Trying to decide between the o-ring and acrylic tofu cases when my board comes in

[hazy sentinel]

what is the best case to put the 60he in if one does not want to mod anything at all?

my vote is blade60 if you like the look

just screw the pcb in, or did you do anything else?

was thinking about mekanisk fjell

[feral siren]

I mean if you can afford and find it, go for it

Blade 60 is nice, I’d be lying if I told you no modding needed

But then again most custom cases are to get the most out of it, fjell included prolly

[hazy sentinel]

I live in Fjell country 🙂

Yeah, I have had tons of high end cases like Fjell or Thermal, but considering to leave the wooting stock to be honest. Modding is a dark rabbit hole.

[feral siren]

It’s a sweet sweet hole that will never stop sucking you in

Get iccccckkkkkky

[neat sequoia]

ordered a blade60, thanks to @feral siren's recc. hopefully in about a month I will have a new wooting 60he to mod.

[feral siren]

Wish I had the balls to pull the trigger on a pink blade60

[neat sequoia]

If the dark grey were in stock, I probably woulda gone a whole different direction, but the white was, so I am getting BoW keycaps and white case

[hazy sentinel]

takes time from actually using the board 😦

[feral siren]

Yeah I actually feel ya on this.

[feral siren]

I proclaimed to be happy with stock keycaps, now I m stripping every backlit/side lit keys from other boards tweaking around. =\

Dark hole.

[lusty pond]

That’s sexy

Walnut case looks really good, wow

[mystic blaze]

I think that's not walnut but rosewood, walnut would have been darker

[hazy sentinel]

I wish I got the yellow blade60. Cheesy

[feral siren]

Wish I had the guts to not go black too 😦

Wanted the pink (yellow was sold out at the store I was buying from)

[glacial harbor]

i feel like i would go with a different color if i didnt plan on this being my only keyboard

bc if i had a lot of boards and they were all black it would get kinda boring imo

[hazy sentinel]

My gmmk pro is current black but my kbd67 lite is transparent grey that's pretty cool.

Going to sell the gmmk pro and replace it with my incoming wooting. And do the same to my kbd67 with an incoming qk65 in white.

2 boards so I don't have to use a kvm to use a board for work 🤓

[scenic needle]

It is the walnut version

[scenic needle]

I think I might put it back later on in the stock case. I must say the new wave keycaps look pretty awesome on that when I was at Calders place

[feral siren]

Dudddd, I just realized now the stabs aren’t pre clipped

[inland hornet]

going off badseedtechs review, i think they are fine enough. I'll have to see if there are any good aftermarket stabs and replace them if they bother me

[feral siren]

@scenic needle is there anyway to know if I can buy an extra plate from Wooting?

[scenic needle]

As in an extra steel plate? Or do you mean different types of plates? We don't offer other kind of plates now.

[feral siren]

I mean an extra steel plate

I m thinking about sanding and painting my plate black, but I’d be less a wuss about it if I knew I could get a replacement in the worst case scenario

[scenic needle]

I can ask around in the team if that is possible, kinda curious myself.

[mystic blaze]

+1

[scenic needle]

Yes, you can get a replacement steel plate. Jeroen said for a minimal compensation.

[mystic blaze]

Can we add it now to our EU-Pi order as an upgrade?

[scenic needle]

I think it is something you have to contact support for. Just like if you want extra lekker switches.

[flat condor]

@scenic needle Was your walnut case the o-ring mount one or no?

[scenic needle]

yeah the o-ring mount

[feral siren]

TY for info

[flat condor]

Ohh okay thank you. Definitely not gunna order it if i have to sand it 😂

[feral siren]

I can’t settle on caps =\

[glacial harbor]

thats really clean

[neat sequoia]

The spacebar is a bit… unique

[glacial harbor]

my spacebar is so deep

[feral siren]

You never seen a reversed space bar? It’s super comfortable

[neat sequoia]

Teach me senpai

[feral siren]

Take off your space bar key

Flip it

Put it on

@neat sequoia

That’s it lol

[neat sequoia]

You got me excited about the blade. I ordered it. I stared at it long enough that the design grew on me, making the tofu look lore and more plain.

Ordered a straight reverse panda cable from Lethal Gaming as well

… i saw that comment 😉

[rigid spear]

I don't know what you're talking about

lol I'm sorry I just can't with that case, it's the bane of my existence

[neat sequoia]

Lol bro I think that is a completely logical argument as well. It’s kinda strange how my typical OCD is actually okay with this sort of planned chaos I am inviting into my space

Did not plan on it, for sure

[feral siren]

I really want to see what rossi does with custom plates

[feral siren]

I think you will like it, I m glad I m doing the opposite of buyers remorse. Honestly, the thickness and the sound signature it provides makes me glad I didn’t go the tofu route the more I use it

[scenic needle]

I might try it out myself.

okay XDA keycaps don't change it all that much haha

[mystic blaze]

do you prefer XDA or just a compromise for design or language?

[scenic needle]

I like XDA. Mostly the rounded look, but I think the feel is pretty nice too. I bought SA before for my girlfriend but those were too tall. So XDA become a nice middleground

[mystic blaze]

I like rounded look, but it doesn't feel comfortable for me, and I always do more accidental keypresses with XDA

[scenic needle]

Always a bit of personal preference. Only tried OEM, Cherry, XDA and SA. All but SA work well with me.

[feral siren]

😂 yeah that’s more of a Cherry Profile / OEM profile trick

[spiral hearth]

btw - I ordered a CableMod cable (similar specs to yours) in a different color way. It arrives today. Thanks for the confirmation that it works. Not I just need my 60he to get here

[feral siren]

Yeah just so you know, doesn't matter what cable you use, when you use 100% RGB brightness cables get funky

This includes stock cables too

All I can confirm is the cable works just as well as stock

[spiral hearth]

I tend to go no RGB on even if my keebs support it. I just wanted something that fit my aesthetic a bit better than stock

[shut prawn]

Lubed, filmed, durock stabs

Finished product

[feral siren]

How do the stabs feel/sound? Did you clip?

[shut prawn]

here's a scuffed sound test without video @feral siren

durock stabs dont have the prongs so no need for clipping

[spiral hearth]

Cable is here for my Tofu swap. Keycaps are here too (not pictured)

Cable appears lighter in this photo. It's actually more silver and the Tofu is grey.

[feral siren]

Thanks man!!! Sounds great!

[feral siren]

Huh… I just got my durocks from Amazon haven’t installed yet but I could’ve sworn they had prongs

[shut prawn]

might actually take the TX films out, seems they are squeezing the housing too much on many of my keys

there is noticeable resistance which only occurs when i mount them on the plate

but only some of the keys

[glacial harbor]

sounds great man

[tepid urchin]

I

No need for clipping / sanding with durocks

[neat sequoia]

I dig! (very noob question... how do you utilize the larger "enter" keycap? I assumed the orientation on the 60he board did not support it...)

[ocean dust]

wdym ?

you can choose different layouts ?

[spiral hearth]

Look up ANSI vs ISO keyboard layouts

[hazy sentinel]

Does anyone know if the PCB for Wootin 60HE is 1.6T or 1.2T?

[quartz cloak]

Anyone know any good xda/dsa blank keycaps for the 60he?

[timber bear]

Doesnt exactly matter you cant use normal stabs only plate mount stabs y else would you need the thickness for ??

[neat sequoia]

But isnt the wooting 60he all ANSI?

[spiral hearth]

https://next.wooting.io/wooting-60he

[feral siren]

Dang @spiral hearth well. I just got saddled with fakes or something then. My Piano Durocks definitely had to be clipped. Never used durocks before screw in OR plate

[tepid urchin]

Both v1 and v2 should be preclipped

here is another picture of the stem

[feral siren]

Yup. I definitely got shafted buying my set from Amazon. I was all "what was the fuss about? These are low key trash"

Whatevez, I am just gonna experiment with TX Stabs see if those work.

Only if Wooting allowed us to use plate mount=/ I know they couldn't even if they wanted vaguely remember a vlog post about it but still.

[tepid urchin]

tx stabs are pcb mounted

I think I will go with cherry / gmk

the sound different

[feral siren]

Wait naw they make plate mounted version too

no?

[tepid urchin]

I thought about zeal stabs

[feral siren]

https://divinikey.com/collections/keyboard-stabilizers/products/tx-stabilizers?variant=39883447238721

[tepid urchin]

Those are pcb mounted

just not screw in

[feral siren]

These are PCB

[tepid urchin]

but clip in

[feral siren]

noooooo

they're PCB clip ins?

f me

[tepid urchin]

The only real options are ZealPC (high pitch, very tight, very expensive), Durock, Cherry / GMK and jwk style stabs

jwk makes c3 equalz for example

[feral siren]

yeah I used c3 equalz on my first board

no second

ughhhhh.

[tepid urchin]

I think cherries have the nices sound

[feral siren]

I mean.

[tepid urchin]

I think I will try them

[feral siren]

There aren't like... goated plate mounted stabs that are on par with PCB mount?

I am never gonna use a plate mounted stab using board except this

[tepid urchin]

no, everybody hates plate mount

[feral siren]

I just want one and be done with

ugh.

[tepid urchin]

no serious board will come with plate mount

[feral siren]

no

i've literally never touched plate mount

until this

[tepid urchin]

that's why I was so sad the pcb is not ready for screw ins

[feral siren]

Sorry

Durocks are DEFINITELY preclipped?

All their revisions?

[tepid urchin]

Yes all 2 revisions are pre clipped

[feral siren]

I clipped my so called 'durocks' did not enjoy the experience. I don't have a good cutter for the job.

[tepid urchin]

if you clip you should think about sanding the bottoms

[feral siren]

Yeah

Sanding tiny little pieces of plastic isn't something terribly excited about

What kind of sound do cherry stabs have again?

ARe those preclipped?

[tepid urchin]

no

[feral siren]

Any revisions of those at least

[tepid urchin]

no

sorry

you have to make them good yourself

taeha only uses cherry

as far as I know

if you want to hear the sound

[feral siren]

When has he EVER used a plate mount...

hmmmmm

@tepid urchin have you ever used Gateron Stabs?

[tepid urchin]

Those are the defaulz

Default*

In the wooting

But no, I think they are cherry clones

Durock are ZealPC clones

There are not so many unique designs

[tepid urchin]

That should not make a huge difference, as long as you use tape between the plate and stab

[feral siren]

The wiggle affects that much? There’s barely any

[tepid urchin]

:3ildcat shows that in his videos

[feral siren]

Dang

[tepid urchin]

He shows before and after

https://youtu.be/20CoC2t-dic

At like 2:20

[covert coyote]

does anyone here have the akkogear asa clear translucent keycap set? how are they? how do they hold up? (the glaciers are sold out and very expensive afaik)

[light sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/multitasking-busy-multiple-arms-gif-24492325

[hazy sentinel]

I used to have them and they were pretty good quality. I didn't like how smooth they were and they got pretty stuck onto the stems of my tecsee ice candies

[sterile cave]

ye

[fierce oasis]

Do i have to rotate the switches to use cherry profile keycaps??

[neon condor]

May have to, depends on the exact keycap set

[spiral hearth]

Either way it’s not a hard process

[glacial harbor]

sorry the video quality is so bad

[feral siren]

Yeahhh reverse space bar gang

[sterile cave]

Can't settle down on kaps

[daring raft]

Anyone know what cases will fit 'the best' with stock wooting wrist rest?

[glacial harbor]

its actually not reversed. SA spacebars can't rlly be reversed because they're symmetrical

[feral siren]

ahhhh just lighting then

Looks sharp

really like the tuxedo look

[glacial harbor]

thank you :) yeah im really happy with how it turned out

[feral siren]

This killed me for a while too.

[thin flame]

what is the keypad you have infront? (the one with the f row)

[feral siren]

Tachyon Mode (Low actuation, Rapid trigger set to lowest for FPS)

Typing mode, tachyon off reasonable actuation and rapid trigger points

[minor kettle]

It's a random macropad I got from taobao

[spiral hearth]

did you do any mods in that case for sound or just transfer the Wooting foam to that case?

[glacial harbor]

just transferred the wooting foam and tape modded the pcb (5 layers)

[spiral hearth]

I was going to ask specifically if you tape modded. I love the tape mod sound profile

[glacial harbor]

yeah i love the sound too

[glacial harbor]

i feel like there should be a separate channel for just sound tests

[tepid urchin]

It depends so much on the room, recording setup and your playback device. Most of the time is a very poor representation of how the board actually sounds xD

[glacial harbor]

right, but it would still be interesting

[quartz cloak]

What keycaps are those? They look sick

[feral siren]

just blank PBT keycaps you can get just about anywhere, Divinikey, Amazon, and etc. OEM Profile. I forget where I bought mine, I think it was Divinikey or Amazon I think.

usually will cost ya 30-40 bucks

And kept the Windows key with the wootin logo

Unless you mean the Resin keys, I got those off Etsy/Amazon

[steel yacht]

do all of the GMK keycaps fit on it?

[swift yarrow]

sort of @steel yacht

gmk are all cherry profile I believe, and since these are north facing LED's, there will be interference on the middle row.

however, the switches can just be rotated 180 degrees apparently? which solves the issue

so, again, sort of.

[feral siren]

100% you do need to flip the switchecs but they will fit

[steel yacht]

ah so can just flip the switches instead of the keycaps? cause i was looking into modding w a gmk terra set (if i can find one) and smth like a tofu60 case

[lost bramble]

Has anyone replaced the stabs on the PCB with TX?

ah it won’t work

oh but a frankenstab may work

[feral siren]

yes 100%, you'd have to flip the switches on the rows that have interference

but yes the switches can totally be oriented south facing

[steel yacht]

ah perfect, only diff will be the rgb direction i assume? any tools needed to rotate them or no?

[feral siren]

yes

no way to change rgb direction

Lekker switches to give you an idea

let enough light diffuse

Enough so that you could use south-facing side lit keycaps and have them lit up just fine

hooray to transparent housings

and super bright led

[steel yacht]

yeah like idc too much for the rgb either way so it should be fine

its more like getting all the keycaps to fit and them looking nicely in place

[feral siren]

Then perfect

[steel yacht]

the rgb would mostly be for late night gaming ^^

[feral siren]

And there's plenty

Wooting has one of the brightest RGB's ive seen including super-gammmer brand leds

[steel yacht]

yeah this is my first time going somewhat custom which is why I liked the wooting, didnt really have to go and find a pcb, switches etc, too many options, so for me this is kinda the best of both

[feral siren]

It really is

[hazy sentinel]

wait what, GMK does not fit a standard 60he?

[scenic needle]

Think some might have interference (not sure) . But then you can rotate the switches 180 degrees to make it work.

[hazy sentinel]

Damn, that’s a shame. Guess I’ll use it stock then.

Only GMK, or epbt also?

[mystic blaze]

it's not that big of a problem as you can just rotate the switches

100% stock would be with the stock keycaps?

or just get a OEM keycap set than

anyways, I misunderstood, but it wouldn't be the case with every cherry profile so good luck to you

[spiral hearth]

by that logic, rotating the switches around is like changing your pants... most wouldn't considering rotating the switches to be "modding" at all

[mystic blaze]

it would be re-wearing your underpants inside-out D:

[spiral hearth]

I'm just shocked anybody would have such a big problem with rotating hotswap switches

[mystic blaze]

Every mass-produced product would have some things you wouldn't prefer... I guess it's better to make peace with it.

[spiral hearth]

The proper orientation is the one that the manufacturer opted to use. The primary use case for this board is as a complete pre-built. If you don't want to risk anything then use it stock.

Rotating switches is a far cry from opening all of them, lubing, filming, etc. You make it sound like it is some sort of gateway drug when it fact in 5 minutes you could be done with

[spiral hearth]

100% right here. This kb is meant to be sold as a pre-built. It just so happens that it is mod-friendly. I don't think I've found a stock product that I love 100% and wouldn't change anything

[feral siren]

Whoa whoa whoa. Yes you can fit cherry profile. The switches flip.

You only need to flip like two rows of switches too. The rgb if maxed (I wouldn’t unless you have functional features turned down), blasts through the switch casing so little loss there too

Except like one or two exceptions, I don’t know ANY premade board that aren’t low tier budget boards that truly support Cherry Profile with South Facing, and boards that don’t support cherry profile you can’t even flip switches on. This is the only board I know of that does both south and north facing config.

Basically Iquinox or whatever those 80s plastic aesthetic boards with costar stabs

[unborn star]

yooo I love the monitor. Is it the Samsung g9 ?

[fleet apex]

Yes. Well Neo G9.

Hunted ”the perfect” monitor for my taste for a long time. Always eyed on this one, but forums filled with QA concerns always pushed me away from it. It was on sale about 6 months ago so I bit in. Honestly, it’s been quite amazing.

[unborn star]

nice!

What are the pros and cons with it ? @fleet apex

I've actually been considering getting it myself so I'm curious

[fleet apex]

Pros, the format itself, gaming feels great, productivity covers 2x27” setup, black level, fast pixel response times and 240hz, good iq and HDR overall.

Cons, panel uniformity is not great (dse), gsync can cause flicker, sometimes you see visible scanlines on certain colors at 240hz.

Its not perfect but with LCDs its always tradeoffs and compromises unfortunately. For me pros in this outweigh the cons.

[spiral hearth]

as a former G9 owner, I'll add it's pointless for first person shooter games. you can play in windowed mode, but I found that distracting. Playing a racing him however... nothing compares

[fleet apex]

Oh contrary. I absolutely love it for FPS games. But yeah maybe too much offtopic for this channel.

Any game really with proper suw support.

[spiral hearth]

Just didn't find any FPS games with SUW support. Still can't think of any. Now if you play a third person shooter, those look sick.

[worldly bison]

There are some crazy modding meta that I should know rn?

[feral siren]

Tape Mod.

PE Foam mod… doesn’t do much on the 60HE steel plate with “2 pin” switches.

Forcebreak Mod…. can’t be applied on tray mount boards.

Holee Mod - kinda overrated can make things worse.

O-ring Burger - oldie but a goodie, definitely helps.

Last 2-3 years? I dunno what “right now” is for many. Some have been out of the hobby for a while.

If those are all old to ya.. yeah nothin too crazy or remotely new right now.

[timber bear]

Anyone try plasti dip on stabs ever lol

[spiral hearth]

What is that supposed to do?

[timber bear]

Idk that’s y I’m asking

[spiral hearth]

Well what do you want it to do? What do you suspect it would do?

Most bizarre mods come about because somebody is trying to achieve something

[worldly bison]

Alr yeah i know every single mods you said, i was specifically aiming to this channel being the place where should be the most innovation regarding to improve the 60he acoustics/feel, so thats why i asked here

[timber bear]

Get rid of raddle completely I mean lube it too but plastic on plastic no rattle

[worldly bison]

i didn't still made to the custom keebs world but, so hard to properly tune a keeb?
i think its skill issue

[spiral hearth]

I feel like if you mean on the stabilizer wires it will probably cause some sticking

[timber bear]

Yuh idk I’ve seen some wild ass builds I mean it peels off so no harm done 🤷‍♂️

[normal marsh]

You would think since the lekker switches don't need to house the contacts thry could have made the north face smaller for cherry. But then that would probably have cost extra since you would need a new mould

[feral siren]

Ditch the foams (actually Nevermind a big preference thing here, I don’t like the impact of filling the bord full of foams@can have) Replace the stabs. PE foam adds a tad but not a whole lot. O-ring burger is a must.

Steel plates are a pain to work around for fine tuning audio. Allegedly custom plates can happen but seems really tricky to basically have to build one for the job. Lubing is totally worth it, films not so much. You can toy with switch films and pe foam without much issue the switches seem to have a a tolerance of about 1mm deviation for something being between the normal PCB to Magnetized Stem inside switch.

So you can toy with different layers OVER pcb to an extent without affecting function.

In short Oring Burger is a definite go. Beyond that is up to you and depends largely on your copy for fine tuning.

[tepid urchin]

Custom plates are easier if you use one of the "more compatible" cases. You would only have to put extra m2 holes where the standoffs are and order two standoff kits from kbd fans.

You can even use the plate files on github

the holes are on there. You just need to change the size

then you can have the holes done when you order your plate

[worldly bison]

i also know 😅

i was talking about if there is any mod specifically designed to work the best with the 60he

[tepid urchin]

Yeah usermod is designed for it. Works just on the Wooting.

Your limit will be the tray mount. If you want to get around that you have to put in a lot of effort.

There are barely any gh60/dz60 cases with top / gasket mount.

[tepid urchin]

now I only need the original to confirm my measurements

[muted birch]

My tofu 60 is here, my keycaps are here, my paint matched super light will be here next week, my zip-n-fit comes today so I'll be able to prep that to put into the tofu tonight to satiate my appetite a little while I wait for the wooting, o rings for the burger mod are on there way. Any other suggestions as I prep? This is my first dive into customizing a keyboard.

[feral siren]

Ah 😅

[undone dragon]

mmmmm, very nice

[spiral hearth]

I'm in nearly an identical position as you. I have everything I need except for the Wooting (NA-Haze batch). I've built and modded a bunch of keyboards before but I'm still super excited. What color Tofu, keycap set, and color Super Light did you get?

[worldly bison]

anyways i appreciate the effort

[spiral hearth]

Nice. I was so close to going Air Force Blue on the Tofu

[sterile cave]

Pog

Very pog

[muted birch]

I almost went gray but I decided to do something more fun

[spiral hearth]

haha I almost decided to do something more fun but I decided to do gray

I have a blue set up now and I wanted some flexibility to change up the RGB profile of my PC setup rather than be locked into blue

[muted birch]

Yeah I get that too, excited for more people to get theirs, it'll be great to see the creativity

[spiral hearth]

100%. The stuff that’s out there is so cool already. I’ll be building my “endgame” daily keeb at the same time too. That’s going to be a Mode Sonnet. A lot of builds in my future.

[untold hedge]

Are the corsair pro pbt keycaps even good, I got some custom keycaps worth 100 euros, I'm just wondering, if they're worth getting?

[hazy sentinel]

i got them and nah, i dont think so

is tape mod worth it for the 60HE?

[swift yarrow]

absolutely.

It's the only mod I've done on mine and it's great

[hazy sentinel]

alright man thanks! what kind of tape were you using? i've been using TESA masking tape so far but they tend to leave like glue residue when you peel it off

[swift yarrow]

I used a role of blue painters tape, no residue at all

[muted birch]

How many layers did you do on the bottom of the pcb just one?

[neat sequoia]

Blade 60 case ✅
KBDfans BoB keycaps ✅
Reverse panda cable ✅
Lube tools ✅
My god, the next month will be an anxious wait...

[ocean dust]

why do people enjoy changing cases so much ?

me personally i find cases like this ugly

[glacial harbor]

personally i did 5 layers

it sounds really good at 5 layers

[muted birch]

This was oddly satisfying

[spiral hearth]

To each their own. I went Tofu myself

[sterile cave]

Pog can't wait to see finished project

[ocean dust]

i mean its a good looking case

but for the price tag i cant justify it over the stock case

[glacial harbor]

@muted birch do you have your wooting?

[muted birch]

No 😭

[glacial harbor]

when is it coming?

[spiral hearth]

I take it you haven’t built or modded many cases… at a certain point in the hobby money isn’t real

[ocean dust]

i can tell lmao

and no i havent modded cases

i personally like the case the gk61 comes in so i left it

i havent done any modding really

was looking into a tape mod and foam mod

[muted birch]

A very long time from now

[glacial harbor]

have you heard my sound test with 5 layers of tape inside an aluminum case?

[muted birch]

I don't think so but I was going to do 5 layers of tape and peel back if I was not satisfied

[spiral hearth]

This is the way. I’ve tape modded about every kb I own. I usually go about 4 layers. Soon you’ll fall into the pursuit of perfection and it’s a slippery slope

[glacial harbor]

so slippery

[ocean dust]

eh not perfection

just decent sounding

which even then doesn't matter as much to me since i wont hear it when im gaming

[spiral hearth]

It’ll start with that. It did with me. It’s gotten a bit “more involved” than that now

[neat sequoia]

On the flipside, people rave about cases all day that essentially look identical to 90% of the cases out there. Photos don't do the Blade justice at all. It's a still image that easily bothers OCD people that need absolutely straight lines. In person, it seems more subtle. Still not your cup of tea, probably, but thank god it's at least different than the masses

@feral siren did you use the foam that came with the wooting?

[muted birch]

I was looking at three blade because it's different but I fall into that straight line category

[swift yarrow]

I did one, a lot of people report needing 2 or 3. I think it will be personal preference

[ocean dust]

yep it's my OCD if I do end up getting spare money anytime soon I'll get it

[ocean dust]

I don't actually have it yet

still waiting for my October shipping time

around there

[neat sequoia]

I agree, I like straight lines too. The tofu appeals to me just as much, just not how it is frame mounted.

[neat sequoia]

sorry I know this lumped my comment in with the one I directed at you, but I tagged ChrisP, not "NotChris" haha. I see why you have your name the way it is...

[hazy sentinel]

I like how the blade angles sort of compliment my meshify 2 compact front panel

[neat sequoia]

and many of those "3D" wall panels people use..

[hazy sentinel]

ooooh thats a good point, I might pick some up now

[ocean dust]

oh damn I didn't see that, it looked similar, that's my bad lol 😭

[neat sequoia]

curse of the Chris's

[feral siren]

not in the blade no. it's a very thin spacing between the pcb and the bottom of the board.

I used one sheet and half sheet (for the top side) of an old polo shirt that was 100% cotton that I cut up.

[glacial harbor]

so you know how the wooting case foam is 2 pieces glued together to make the part towards the top of the case thicker?

i pulled it apart so it would fit

and it works great

kinda hard to explain lol

these two pieces that i put arrows pointing to

[feral siren]

Yeah i am not a big fan of foam fillers

but that's good to know

i might toy with that for sure

[feral siren]

I mean it doesn’t look good with that rgb it could look clean

[feral siren]

This is with the foam method I take it?

[primal pendant]

Is this air force blue ?

[muted birch]

yes

[lusty pond]

I couldn’t find the black one 😦

[primal pendant]

cool, i've ordered that one as well - what keycaps are you going to use?

[muted birch]

@lusty pond in stock @ kbd fans

[lusty pond]

Wow

I went hunting for a few hours Finding that stuff at local target

[tepid urchin]

For me a case is as much about sound and feel as it is about looks. I'm really not into heavily styled cases.

[neat sequoia]

I agree. The blade sounds and feels better than tofu, and definitely was a big portion of my decision.

[tepid urchin]

I know there is a big blade fan club here

but I really don't like the look

something about the asymmetry just doesn't work for me.

[neat sequoia]

it is definitely a stark contrast

[tepid urchin]

But it is in stock and fits the pcb. Reasonably priced and heavy duty

so I understand why people go for it

I really don't like the stock case either. idk

maybe I'm just too old xD

this made me so happy

those guys are chads

shipping foam all the way from singapore

[neat sequoia]

Yea the stock wooting case honesly looks chinsy. For examply, my Logitech G PRO TKL has a nicer case... and keeb enthusiasts hate that thing, so, that is saying a lot.

[feral siren]

Let us know how that sounds, because i m looking for better sound signature than what i got atm.

[feral siren]

i mean it looked like most customs at the time, only plastic and not nearly as expensive.

Those romer-g switch key cap stems though.... jesus they were awful.

[tepid urchin]

I think I will do a lot of tests. I already have quite some plate mounted stabs here.

[tepid urchin]

I think I will know more when my 60he / plate are here (alu / gasket mount) and I have everything together. At some point it’s all down to the switches. And there is only so much you can do.

Maybe I will diamond polish one of the switches and make a tiny force break like hole in the switch case … but I think that’s it.

I really hoped for more than 2 extra switches to play with.

I think the wooting 2 came with 4 extras

[feral siren]

settled on the everglide v3 personally, went through like three different sets.

[feral siren]

That's very interesting, i mean gasket/aluminum is already gonna have a huge impact on the sound

Can't wait to see what comes of your experiments

[wary mango]

any of you folks tried spring swaps?

I want to put significantly stronger springs in and just lower actuation distance to a comfortable one once I get ny 60HE, but I'm not sure if it's viable for touch typing :/

I type lik 130 comfortably and for work, spring swaps would be for increasing analog effective-ness

[feral siren]

I wouldn't mind a heavier space bar, the dimensions for the springs are public right?

[fresh halo]

what’s the point in getting a new keyboard case

is it just for aesthetics

i like how the tofu looks but

88 plus shipping is kinda steep

when i already paid 186 for the board

[normal marsh]

Some people like to ride in style my friend, and for many price is no barrier.
The case affects how a keyboard looks and sounds, but can also affect how it feels if it has say gaskets, and leafsprings. Sometimes modding something can be done just for the fun of it

[neat sequoia]

Aesthetic, feel, sound, memes

[normal marsh]

I for one am waiting for a local artist to open commissions so I can get a layered acrylic keyboard based on a D&D theme.

[fresh halo]

damn

i mean i like how the tofu looks but man all the stuff expensive

want some keycaps too

my keyboard gonna take 30 years to come

unlucky

[tepid urchin]

Which ones did you try?

Lol I just read that durocks are also made by jwk ….

[feral siren]

Durocks
