froge best keeb

[vagrant kernel]

that's good for you then. like I said, I'm not saying Tofu is unusable and you should avoid it at all costs, I'm just happy there are better options available on the market now for even cheaper (tofu was 88, psd is like 70 so maybe not a lot, but still cheaper)

[minor wave]

case wise, mine looks flawless and Geon was in touch to tell me if I ordered 2 pairs of rubber feet by mistake, can't fault that

[vagrant kernel]

from what I've heard even B-stock geon boards are almost flawless. one of my friends even mentioned he wouldn't notice the imperfection if it wasn't marked by a huge red arrow-like sticker lmao

[regal hound]

Well the Tofu closed out at $88, it was more originally and I paid a little more for these new old stock ones but they are all perfect on the finish. Ive never had a PSD60 so I can't compare or offer an opinion. Having had over 20 Tofu60's in my hands over the last few months and having built/used a few over the last 4 years, I still think for the money it was a good case and still is if you can find them.

[vagrant kernel]

well sure, if you can get it for 80 bucks right now and you like that angular, sharp edges design then it probably is a fine option. very unlucky psd60 has that hideous branding because it would be a tofu killer

[deep pier]

Psds finish is good, but the branding kills the price per value

[vagrant kernel]

and I guess we either have different standards or I was just very unlucky to get a flawed tofu

cause I swear, the front where there's this 90 degree angle it was literally missing anodization

like here

[regal hound]

Im not saying bad eggs dont happen and things dont slip through QC, even the best brands have it (and they sell those as B or C stock)

[vagrant kernel]

but only on the angle, not on the bezzel itself

it almost looked like touching it with my thumb made the ano go off, because I didn't notice it at first

which I highly doubt, ano should not come off THAT easily

[regal hound]

For KBDfans the cost of shipping out a few bad units say every 100 units was less cost than hand checking every case and listing b stock items. Thats the difference in large batch production in China for a budget case and something like Klippe where everything is inspected by the owner before shipping.

[nocturne bluff]

This guy is bitching and crying over a $80 dollar board... LOL I can't even

He acts like a baller but is whining over a $80 dollar board. Just move on. Don't buy it

[regal hound]

I don't think he was crying, because regardless of your finances, you expect a product to hold up and look good if it's treated well.

[vagrant kernel]

wow, you totally don't even get what I was saying. my original message was worded poorly and was highly influenced by my personal experience with kbdfans. all I expected back then was a good product and I got flawed case, that is all

[nocturne bluff]

I spent $90 dollars on a steak without sides... $80 bucks is a steal for a Tofu. people are looking for one everyday. Trust me, if they had Tofu's in stock.. people would buy them instantly right now

[regal hound]

Sure but that doesn't make his $90 any less important to him.

[upper mist]

My definition of quality is a product's adherence to the specification. If that tofu is missing a chunk of anodization, then it's far outside of spec and therefore low quality and does not meet expectations, irrespective of the price paid.

[regal hound]

I can afford more expensive boards and have a large collection of them, but I expect them all to perform and hold up as advertised, regardless of price.

[nocturne bluff]

I agree then don't buy it. Why is he trying to bash a product he hates? It's waste of time. It adds no value to anything. The tofu60 v1 is discontinued LOL.. they're not even making it anymore

[regal hound]

He had a bad experience, it happens and it's his right (and ok) for him to express his displeasure. It happens to every manufacturer and product.

I had a different experience with the Tofu cases I've seen/had but that doesn't make him wrong. It just means he had a different experience.

[upper mist]

Aye, and it's on Tofu to either make it right or choose not to, provided they've been informed through the proper channels

[regal hound]

I think you would be hard pressed to find someone in this modding channel (that's not an employee) who champions the wooting board as much as me. I think it's a great product with an even greater team behind it. So you might be surprised to know that my first wooting board had a problem and had to be swapped out. However, the way it was handled was great and I understand that shit happens and it's not the norm. I could complain and say the board was shit if I wanted and I would be justified to do so, but it wouldn't make me right.

If the price was $80 instead of $200 or even $2000, none of that would have changed.

[vagrant kernel]

I just simply shared my opinion and then explained my experience (cause like I said, original message was worded poorly and I admit that). this is what people do. I love keyboards and I love talking about them, so I join the conversation about them if I have something to add, and I definitely had something to add when the topic was Tofu case. is that something bad?

[round dove]

I mean anodise has always been annoying to deal with

I work in marine industry so everything is anodised

[vagrant kernel]

welcome to the team I guess, I too love my 60he to the point I almost see all of my other keyboards useless. but it has a lot to do (more than case or caps) with the fact that I just really love hall effect switches and believe it's the future norm (or at least optical) instead of the boring contact based MX style stuff

[round dove]

The time i see we paying stupidly high amount for shitty jobs

[regal hound]

No its not and I think your reply was fine. We were able to disagree and discuss it without needing to be right, wrong or indifferent.

[elfin hill]

My tofu was custom coated in cerakote when I got it so not sure what the finish was like before the coating but it's super clean now

[nocturne bluff]

Looks nice. How much was this? I tried to get my Jelly Epoch cerakote here .. cost like $200-300 CAD. Only places that does cerakote here were like Gun stores

[elfin hill]

It was a limited run from keebstuff (a German keyboard website)

[nocturne bluff]

I mean the white tofu I have (waiting for the wooting.. plz) looks nice. I want a dark tofu like yours.... damn. I guess you want things you don't have

[sonic tusk]

what are some alternatives to the tofu 60 or the Poseidon that are in white

[regal hound]

[olive lake]

Genuinely the nicest sound test I've heard on here, what mic were you using for this?

[gusty tiger]

yo i smoke a lot, but i swear - wasnt there a case that you could pick the color of the case + the color of the weight in the back? lmfaoooo

[hazy sentinel]

zoom65?

[gusty tiger]

FUCK

you're right... pls reference the line where i said "yo i smoke a lot" LOL - i was remembering the zoom65 as a case not a keyboard D:

[hazy sentinel]

it’s 65 anyways, so no good for the 60 HE

[tight siren]

Frog Mini (rolling releases, in stock as of now), only compatible with WK version
https://geon.works/products/frog-mini
REQUIRED MODS:
custom plate (attached), will need someone to laser cut
standoff screws (m2-3, can purchase sets from amazon, but this is prepackaged): https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

Brutal60, again WK version only
https://cannonkeys.com/products/brutal60
REQUIRED:
custom plate (again, attached, also needs to be cut)
same standoff screws linked above

[tight siren]

was a recording from my phone as i didnt have cables for my mic at the time lol

[olive lake]

Still sounds incredible, this may be the build I will go for in the end

When I can get the silver one, that is

Though Brutal 60 might be the move given the more budget friendly price lol

[tight siren]

shoot, forgot to write in mods 🙃

[eager pasture]

Nicely done Kyle!

[tight siren]

i will say

i do not like it without mods

i think its because the switches are quiet themselves? but the board sounds extremely muted. with this lubed and put in the frog mini, i need to bottom out to get a sound. maybe its because theres nothing really bottoming out in the switch?

gonna try doing tape only

[gusty tiger]

yea it's not really a "typing keyboard"

imo

[tight siren]

definitely not an enthusiast type of board but it is definitely cool

[gusty tiger]

yea gaming keyboard 100% but making it sound amazing too is just like next level of everything lol

[tight siren]

honestly after talking to some friends and hearing how early their points of actuation are, i think wooting could try to get away with a long pole? of course i dont know how the open hole on the bottom of each switch would be affected if it wasnt there, but just a thought

would be dope to have something similar to the cream+ switches, whereinstead of a silicone or copper insert, it could be magnet instead

def needs pe foam for the board to sound good

looks dope as fuck though xd

[tepid flame]

MAZE64

[deep pier]

@fresh jackal can i somehow test if my cable is suitable for tachyon+rgb in sense of: was there a scenario in which the malfunction appeared more often or could be triggered somehow?

[fresh jackal]

Enable Tachyon, Set LEDs to 100%, Enable rapid trigger and see if you're getting ghost or repeated inputs?

[deep pier]

thanks.

[daring crown]

Do you have a pic of the finished brutal board? Since you had to get a custom plate

Oh maybe I’m dumb. I thought you had to replace one of the parts but it probably looks the same as a brutal board lol

[tight siren]

i dont have a brutal, only a frog mini, but it should work as the brutal takes a dz60 pcb, and the standoff holes and stab cutouts are the exact same for the frog mini plate

mounting should be fine as its top mount and the og plate file was used

yep, just a brutal60 but with a different plate and the wooting60 pcb

[rare vigil]

I used this to secure my custom plate to the PCB. https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-m2-3-countersunk-flat-head-screw-kit

[ocean talon]

oh damn, you went back in time for my post

appreciate man, guess i can cut my fishing line free once i get these

[rare vigil]

Yeah I did. I just happened to see it when I opened the discord channel LOL

[rare vigil]

I remember seeing them on I think Divinikey or KFA because they carry KBDFans stuff but it looks like they don't have them anymore. So, I think the two spots are KBDFans and KBDFans Aliexpress

[stiff forge]

keycap recommendations ? looking for a new set for a white tofu wooting build

preferably cherry profile and care more about feel/sound of the caps over colour

[slim pond]

Im prolly going with PBTFans BoW set

Doing white build as well

[stiff forge]

yea was looking at the pbtfans, if i can’t anything else i’ll probably just settle w bow

[slim pond]

They seem good, have slight texture too i believe, double shot pbt as well

Alot of layout options too

[eager pasture]

That's what PBTFans BOW looks like. Very crisp details. This is the Simple Basic set.

[prime eagle]

Anyone know if the Wooting 60he would fit these concrete cases?

https://www.keebconcrete.com/shop/keyboard---60-layout/

[gusty tiger]

......... concrete.. what the fu..

[rare vigil]

Those look like standard 60% cases. I would confirm with the website first if you have any questions.

[rare vigil]

Yeah, not my personal choice of case materials... but to each their own.

[prime eagle]

Haha, yeah I want something different. I'll email them

https://imgur.com/a/80jRK9w

[regal hound]

I love the look of those cases and would have ordered one if the shipping to US was cheaper

They are similar to the Mason60 cases

[gusty tiger]

pretty nice fit, i assume it's mostly for sound

[regal hound]

And they are compatible with the wooting since they say DZ60 / BM60 (assuming they make them to that spec)

[gusty tiger]

@prime eagle

[prime eagle]

Oh, sweet!

[olive lake]

I've heard the mason60 sound tests, I'd imagine it'd be similar to those

[bronze agate]

speaking of concrete, there was this one. group buy only occurred in china and I never found anything else on it. looks like a mode sonnet https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=115244.0 for more info

[prime eagle]

That one looks great. Now I'm gonna wait to pull the trigger on the one I was looking at and see what others I can find.

[gusty tiger]

this one looks insanely high end- really sick

[silent python]

How many layers of tape mod should I be using?

[carmine timber]

3+ for most obvious sound but tbh it's such a slight change to sound profile

not necessary

and ime it misaligns your USB-C connector slightly

It bothered me so I took it off

tirade also tried it and similarly took it off

[silent python]

So not worth doing it

[carmine timber]

yeah I just didn't think it was worth

plus the possibility of damaging the PCB if the adhesive is bad

it sounds great lubed, good thick keycaps, foam, and a heavy quality case

[fresh jackal]

60HE PCB doesn't really care. It's got a coating to help prevent spill damage.

It might still get sticky and icky though 😉

[hardy burrow]

https://youtu.be/PsRcYxZgBCo

[hardy burrow]

Im watching this video rn and I was wondering if there’s a reason why he didn’t put the foam in the new case. Doesn’t it fit else or is it just not needed?

[fresh jackal]

Depends on the case.

Some cases come with their own foam. Or there are foams that fit better.

[hardy burrow]

I see. Thank you! :))

[regal hound]

Or you're like me and prefer no foam

[silver moon]

I for real seems to be impossible to get a decent 60 case here in europe or is it just me

[fresh jackal]

Europe is tricky due to Europe vs EU. And expensive shipping costs and import fees from China. So stock is a lot more scarse if you want to shop locally. Aliexpress is ironically not a terrible place to look if you know what to go for.

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

This list is a place to start.

[silver moon]

I have been looking a bit into some stuff yeah, but i've constantly been thrown off by people critising aliexpress boards

[fresh jackal]

It's a bit of a jungle - But provided you're not getting scammed outright, the manufacturers of the "real" listings elsewhere are usually manufactured by the folks who list on Ali.

[silver moon]

I'll have a thorough look on aliexpress then i suppose

Appreciate the help (:

[regal hound]

Just look at the seller before you buy. If you see lots of positive feedback and followers, you'll likely be just fine.

[hardy burrow]

So I think I have to test it out myself

[regal hound]

100%

[regal hound]

OK gents, this channel's been slowing down lately. Lets pick it up. We have just started scratching the surface of the case and mods options out there. Since @tight siren has started working on plate files, that opens up a ton of plate mount options! This week I'll be testing the Raindrop60, Sentraq High Profile and Salvation60 cases.

Teaser pic of Raindrop60

[loud belfry]

Why are the switch cutouts so big?

[regal hound]

Just the default universal plate. I'll be printing a new plate based on the Laneware CAD files combined with the mounting holes of the 60HE. Raindrop60 plate file attached (no mods on it)

[loud belfry]

Oh, so it's just a placeholder?

[regal hound]

Its the stock plate yeah

I havent made the new plate yet

[loud belfry]

Gotcha. I'm curious to see what you come up with. I got my Klippe T last week and am content with it but it's basically my only decent keyboard so I haven't experienced other kinds of mounting.

[regal hound]

The Klippe T is one of my favorite cases TBH. Not only is the finish quality better than the Tofu but the removeable middle posts and the extra lips on the edges allow for gummy friction mounting and I feel like thats the best way to mount this board

Ive sold probably a dozen Tofu's to members in here but have held on to all these Klippe's because of how good they are. I'll probably start selling them this week as Im starting to feel like a hoarder

[loud belfry]

I haven't tried removing the middle standoffs yet. What's the benefit there? Can you actually feel the flex or is it for better sound uniformity or something like that?

[regal hound]

Removing them to open up the area so if there is a little flex/bounce you dont hit the standoffs.

[tight siren]

let me know if he ever sends you a dxf

[regal hound]

Oh shit, I forgot you asked for that. let me see if I can convert it

[loud belfry]

Yea but the 60HE has the hole for the center mount. I'm not sure I get what you're saying.

[regal hound]

The center mount hole on the 60HE isnt used by default. The hole is there in case you get an aftermarket case that has a center mount that you cant remove (like the Tofu)

So with the Klippe, you can just remove it. Thats not to say I havent removed them from Tofu's as well but it doesnt always work out well. Sometimes it goes flawlessly, sometimes it doesnt.

Good removal example. Nice and clean

[silver moon]

What are your favourite cases?

[regal hound]

Bad removal example, slipped and hit the case. Never use a dremel was the lesson I learned

[loud belfry]

Why remove it when you can use it is what I'm asking.

[silver moon]

Where are you located?

[regal hound]

Me? Im in the US (Utah specifically)

[silver moon]

Ah sadly

[regal hound]

@loud belfry 3 reasons:

1. If you desire a little flex, not having the middle standoffs is mandatory
2. Every screw point in a tray mount design creates dead/muted sound points so using as few as possible is ideal
3. Since my personal preference is gummy o-ring friction mounting, removing the middle stand-offs creates less potential points of contact

[loud belfry]

So theoretically, you could use many standoffs to get a uniform muted sound.

[regal hound]

You could use as many as the board has points for, which is 6. The only one they dont use is the center one. Its easier to use no mounts (aka gummy) than try to balance out mount point sounds. To reduce mount point muting, people try lightly mounting at those points (burger mount) but Ive never been happy with those results.

@tight siren sent you the dxf (free version of fusion doesnt support dxf export but a friend has the paid version and was able to)

Also, the amazing @eager pasture turned me on to using nylon screws instead of metal ones and he says it helps quite a bit. Just have to be sure you dont strip the screws by over tightening or bad angle, however a 100 of them is like $5

[burnt stag]

anyone know where I can find some cyan white gradient keycaps, been looking on aliexpress but no luck

[regal hound]

I feel something like that would be fairly easy to google if it exists. If not, you might be out of luck.

My first google hit - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804723513687.html?

[eager pasture]

Maze64 case white
Standoffs not installed
Factory springs, lubed with 205G0
Switches lubed with 205G0
Factory Wooting 60HE plate and PCB
2 layers 3M blue painters tape on PCB
Factory Wooting foam inbetween plate and PCB
Fiberfill stuffing between PCB and case
Cannonkeys 9009 Dark PBT keycaps

Soundtest, recorded in stereo

Forgot to add, 35a gummy o-ring, size medium

[silent python]

i cant seem to install the stabilizers properly

[regal hound]

Reinstalling them to the board or assembling them after lubing?

[silent python]

both lol

[burnt stag]

i guess that is gradient but looking for something more similar to this :

[regal hound]

Ahh gotcha, well if you want it bad enough you can always buy 3-4 sets of caps and make your own gradient but if you just want the blue and white colors there are budget options out there.

[deep pier]

any tips on how to measure maximal mlv thickness in an exchanged case like the psd60 without ordering and testing multiple thicknesses?

[loud belfry]

Measure the standoff height. Measure the height of the highest surface mount component on the bottom of the PCB. Subtract component height from standoff height. Done.

[deep pier]

any way to do this with a simple ruler?

[regal hound]

Just get a piece of foam that doesnt sit higher than your standoffs. You might not even like the sound of a full foam liner.

[olive lake]

clean build, very damn nice

[idle smelt]

can anyone recommend any cases for the 60he? I ordered one coming next month and I don't want a plastic case. I looked at the tofu 60 but it just looks too basic and tall. I'd like one that is probably shorter because the height really hurts my forearms.

[round dove]

NZ$ 62.65 | Anodized Aluminium flat case with metal feet for custom mechanical keyboard black siver grey colorway for gh60 xd60 xd64 satan
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrKaouW

Does that work

[idle smelt]

does it fit with the 60he?

liike does the usb port line up?

because if so I'm considering this as an option

[hazy sentinel]

mekanisk Klippe T, have the case and it is great, still waiting for the wooting though
pretty sure it will fit, read that here multiple times and it is in the supported cases list

(list is pinned if you want to take a look)

[round dove]

He wants low profile case

[round dove]

Its standard layout

[hazy sentinel]

ah my bad, didn’t see that

[round dove]

Pretty sure would work

[round dove]

If you have mecha mini the case also fits

This low?

[idle smelt]

yea that's about the height i'd want it at

thanks for your inputs

[round dove]

I got a second hand mecha mini and swapped the case

One 2 mini also work too

[idle smelt]

oh ok, i'll look more into those when i have the chance

[round dove]

Btw the aliexpress case above

[idle smelt]

cool, tyty

[mystic blaze]

where did you get the o-ring from? and what are the dimensions?
I have maze64 too and wanna do a oring mod - but my biggest problem is the usb c slot - has no space for moving? don't you have any issues?

[silent python]

@fresh jackal any chance I can buy stabilizers for my spacebar? I think I broke it =\

[fresh jackal]

We do sell them, but our shipping times aren't super quick, so you might want to just grab a different, compatible set of stabilizers from something like Durock. 🙂

Where are you located?

[silent python]

The Netherlands

[fresh jackal]

Ah. Well we usually send out spare parts roughly once every two weeks. So if it's causing issues for you right now, you may still want to look into a different solution. But it's up to you.

[silent python]

What stabilizer do i need? I have legit no clue

I bought durocks v2 a month , but those are not compatible lol

[fresh jackal]

They need to be plate mount, not screw in.

https://keebcats.eu/products/durock-plate-mount-stabilisers
Like these

[silent python]

Ordered it, thanks

[eager pasture]

There are no issues with the USB-C port alignment.

The brand of O-ring is GraveShift. It is the medium sized version in 35a hardness.

This mod works for other cases besides the Maze64 including the Mojo60, Fjell, Klippe T...

I purchased the o-ring from a retailer called Mech.Land

https://mech.land/products/graveshift-o-rings?variant=41067113447577

[ivory hatch]

FWIW I'm actually planning to throw up a scuffed Mason 60 soundtest w/ the Wooting swapped in over the next few days, just need to wrap up my lubing

[olive lake]

Definitely send sound tests when that's done

[ivory hatch]

Will do, the swap was super easy and the case has very little flex so I think it's a pretty strong option for the swapping

[flat phoenix]

So does it work with klippe t or does it not

[regal hound]

I wont be doing a Salvation sound test this week after all. Mine arrived yesterday and had damage from the shipping so I had to send it back. Mildly infuriating since I waited 2yrs for it lol

[flat phoenix]

Wth

[regal hound]

@flat phoenix it 100% works with the Klippe, in fact it work better with the Klippe or Fjell than any other case because of the additional ledges

[flat phoenix]

So that means my wooting will actually have flex

[flat phoenix]

Damn that’s such a shame hope you get a new one thats undamaged asap

[regal hound]

It'll have bounce not flex. The plate is really stiff. Here is a video I made showing the o-ring mod in a Klippe case - https://youtu.be/TotSEWmSxoQ

[flat phoenix]

Yeah i mix bounce and flex alot lmao

Thx i’ll check the vid out

[regal hound]

Pictures on how not to ship a new keyboard (zipper caused the dmg)

had to delete one, had my address in it lol

[fresh jackal]

Seems like bad design to have a zipper made from metal in a case like this.

[regal hound]

It so stupid and the worst part is someone else had the same issue when they got theirs a month ago. A small piece of foam or a cloth bag would have solved the problem

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/10s4wdy/caskh_wilba_tech_salvation_kit_blue_w_paypal/ this guy same problem

https://imgur.com/a/BQsqDmA

[finite meteor]

wabi-sabi bro, embrace the imperfection

[regal hound]

When you wait 2yrs for a keyboard there isnt any embracing or sympathy haha

And people here complain waiting 2 months for a 60HE

[finite meteor]

[minor wave]

where's kyle

@tight siren u around?

[tight siren]

What's up

[minor wave]

my bad man I went and measured your plate file and got the answer I needed

did u mount the plate in the frog?

[tight siren]

yes

[celest sequoia]

Just put a brass plate in my blade60. Not too different, but slightly deeper sound

[flat phoenix]

where'd you buy the plate?

[celest sequoia]

I used the file in the Wooting GitHub (modified slightly with flex cuts), and I sent it to Laserboost for them to cut. It cost ~$100 (shipped to the US) for the 2 plates that I ordered

[flat phoenix]

ah alright

[regal hound]

Did they countersink the holes for you? @celest sequoia

[celest sequoia]

They did not. That might have been an option that I wasn’t aware of though. The KBDFans standoff kit still fit fairly well

[regal hound]

Yeah thats the issue I had with sendcutsend is that they wont countersink something as thin as a keyboard plate

I think the minimum thickness to countersink was 3mm

might even have been more like 6mm

[kindred cloak]

🙏

[sonic tusk]

i want that one too i just hope they restock white before my wooting arrives

[kindred cloak]

that would be really cool

i have some blank black keycaps that im gonna pair with the gray and i think that'll look super awesome

[sonic tusk]

that would look nice

where did you get the blank keycaps

[kindred cloak]

just some amazon caps

nothing special. im using them on my current board and i have no issues with the feel of them

[sonic tusk]

oh nice

did you get the wooting yet? or are you waiting on it still

[kindred cloak]

comes in about a week

[sonic tusk]

oh nice my brothers also comes in a week

mine comes in 2 😭

[surreal swan]

Anyone know if there's any US shops selling Klippe T?

[regal hound]

Only available directly from Mekanisk or other users

Check ebay for Klippe, Tofu60, 5 degree, Fjell and other options on the list @surreal swan

[surreal swan]

Unfortunately everything on eBay atm is scam level markup . I'll wait or buy from mekanisk directly.. or get a freebird..

[loud belfry]

Can you not buy from Mekanisk? It didn't take too long to get mine.

17 days total

[surreal swan]

Import is $40... bit much. Lol being stingy on principal... just feels stupid to pay 40 on a 1X0$ case..

[graceful bane]

just getting into this modding thing and having a hard time finding good, clean ISO-DE keycaps - ideally from a german shop. The ones I'm able to find are either basic, boring or out of stock. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated 🙏

[carmine timber]

what is a countersink? I've seen u use this term a few times

[frail valley]

so has anyone here figured out the best way to avoid the high pitched/rattly upstroke sound yet?

[fresh jackal]

Not sure what you're referring to personally. But lubing my switches definitely helped with noise overall.

[frail valley]

it's more noticeable on the bigger keys such as ansi \ but i found the upstroke noise to be quite loud and high pitched, almost like a topre board that wasn't silenced

this was a while back but at some point in #archived_the_lekker_switch i think i posted a sound clip of a "tape modded" lekker switch vs a stock switch

yep. found it: #archived_the_lekker_switch message

So after 2 weeks with 60he in psd60 re with blank xda keycaps I am slowly getting used to the change. This is my first mechanical Keyboard and I knew that it would take some time. Since I haven't seen this anywhere so far: I replaced my rubber feed under the PSD60re with a thin adhesive black velvet as I don't like deskmats and it works like a charm even dampening the rather pingy aluminum case sound profille and on top shaving 1.5mm off the height.

[patent cargo]

You guys think it's possible to derive a plate file from a 3d scan?

If so, it'll make PSD60 gasket plate available for Wooting 60HE's

[dim shuttle]

Just threw on some cheap keycaps to test south facing legend and boy those LEDs are bright!
Lekker profile and my COD profile

[regal hound]

@dim shuttle did you flip the switches to south facing or just change caps?

[neon timber]

Has anyone put the 60He in a salvation case besides badseed?

[regal hound]

Whats your question? I have a salvation here

[neon timber]

I was curios to see what it sounds like, wasn't a fan of the one in badseeds video and wanted to see if that was just his or not

[regal hound]

ahh gotcha, sound is such a personal preference so I cant help you there

Which video was it? Can you paste the link?

[neon timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igy_n3f7VeI

I guess it doesn't sound as bad as I remember

[ionic quartz]

Ty @regal hound

[regal hound]

@ionic quartz Awesome man! Glad the case arrived safely and it looks sick!

[fresh jackal]

Very low key. I like it.

Wooting x Stealth

[regal hound]

Yeah looks very clean actually. Digging it!

[dim shuttle]

No just different keycaps with south facing legends

@regal hound those are the caps I’m running now that’s why I tested south facing legends to make sure the LEDs were strong enough.

[regal hound]

Ahh gotcha. If you turned them south facing you would probably be blind haha

[fresh jackal]

Not sure that's true. The LEDs are north facing, so flipping the switch around would send less light up through the switch, not more.

Even if it happens to be a south facing, side print keycap. 🤔

[dim shuttle]

@fresh jackal is right, LED are PCB soldered so you can’t do anything about it. Rotating the switch would actually obstruct the light.

[regal hound]

Oh good point! I didnt even look at the PCB lol

I also dont use RGB because Im not a good enough gamer. The biggest problem with the wooting is that I can l no longer say its my keyboard that makes me suck

[fresh jackal]

Sensor is centered on the switch socket due to the stem magnet. So the LED has to go north or south of, and we chose north for the most broad standard 😄

[regal hound]

Makes perfect sense. If you're an RGB fan it's definitely one of the brightest boards Ive seen. Im currently mounted in a glass case and dont even have RGB on...

[fresh jackal]

It's a shame the LED doesn't shine downwards as well. Would make for some scary bright ice sanded cases 😄

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-nuke-apocalypse-meme-gif-9579985

[regal hound]

Im using the Baldr60 but it only came in frosted glass. When they released the 65 version they included a clear option.

[void dust]

dats nice

I was looking at that case for so long

[regal hound]

Little weekend challenge to see how well you guys know your tray mount 60% cases. Who can name this case? The only one who can't guess is @eager pasture

[olive lake]

can I ask some yes/no questions lol

[flat phoenix]

I honestly have no idea....damn

[regal hound]

@olive lake ask away haha

[leaden nebula]

does anyone know if taking out the plate foam causes issues the 60he?

[regal hound]

Might change the sound a little but probably wouldn't cause any issues unless you really pound on your board. The foam provides dampening between the plate and PCB and helps keep the gap consistent in case of any flexing.

[gusty tiger]

when was this dropped? is that too detailed lol

[regal hound]

Hmm good question, let me see if I can find out

[eager pasture]

Oh snap... Busted.

[regal hound]

@gusty tiger roughly 5yrs ago

[gusty tiger]

i give up

[round dove]

Was thinking of adding fiber optic tube next to the corner leds so the light can run along it to the bottom

Side lighting ones could see it working

[regal hound]

@gusty tiger Ill let it run over the weekend and see if anyone can figure it out

[cinder orbit]

@surreal swan I currently have one listed on KFA Marketplace if you're interested!

https://auramech.com/products/kbdfans-tofu-60-aluminum-case
apparently there is some silver tofus in stock here if anyone is interested (pls delete this if this isn’t okay💜) - deleted cuz apparently sus

https://www.prokeys.store/products/tofu-case

[round dove]

Ordered prokey's 5 degree case

Seems really cheap for what it is?

[gusty tiger]

which one are you referring to? the tofu or 5degree

[round dove]

5degree

[round dove]

$45 5degree

Price seems a little too good?

Shipping to nz costed more than the case

Should I be worried?

Their discord looks very dead

[willow ledge]

Well, you mentioned getting a Sentraq high profile case in for testing recently, so maybe that's it?

[daring smelt]

im begging to find this case in white its sold out everywhere

[regal hound]

I love the KBDFans 5 degree cases, one of my fav typing angles. $45 is a great price! Wish they had the rare colors available like orange, red and cyan. Also wish they had purple, dark green or yellow in the Tofu60's

@willow ledge that was probably the only way anyone was going to figure it out and the only clue I dropped. Gj

[willow ledge]

It will be interesting to see what you think of it. Let's hope it's not the very best option, since it seems difficult to get a hold of nowadays. 🙂

I'm leaning towards getting a Klippe, if it turns out that I don't like the stock case once I get it, but the typing angle has me slightly worried. More options are always nice. Thanks for your service to the community, Tirade.

[regal hound]

Klippe is an amazing case and is my favorite aluminum case after the Fjell

[loud belfry]

Honestly, I don't feel much difference in angle from stock to Klippe T. I was worried about this as well, actually, because flat or even negative tilt is more ergo. I even bought and was using a flat case. But the Klippe T is fine.

[wanton forum]

What caps are these?

[wanton forum]

Buyer beware on the auramech site - I saw this in my research and went to home page and found this:

And a bunch of threads like this.. https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/q4xiac/if_you_bought_anything_from_auramech_dispute_your/ Seems sus

Anyone have experience with Prokeys? Would like to pickup an acrylic tofu but don't want to deal with any BS..

[patent cargo]

I'll bite, and get 3 different plate materials to try with the Frog 60HE

CF, Alu, and Brass

thematically I really like the Brass, but i'm not sure if i'll like the sound

in terms of sound i'm counting on the CF plate to do great

alu could be a wildcard though

nice middle ground in terms of characteristics

thanks for the leaf spring file @tight siren ❤️
I'll be using it for all three plate materials

[round dove]

Same, the price looks good but their discord and stuff is completely dead

[gusty tiger]

crossed it off on my post, better safe then sorry

[round dove]

I msg'd prokeys support

If they dont reply im just gonna dispute

All their social media seemed dead

[surreal swan]

Shipping policy

Most orders ship within 2 business days. Very rarely will it be more than that, but more often than not, orders ship out the next day.

I ordered an acrylic tofu 60. I'll post back if it ships/doesn't after 2-3 days. Easy to dispute on CC if it doesn't ship so it's whatever.

Not that it means much - but there's a review on the page from this month. Also they do have some colors sold out.

Was able to get a very timely response from Prokeys, and they’re the only company I could find that still carried this product. Look forward to doing more business with them.

If this goes through I'll be happy. If not guess I'll have to buy a fjell 😉

[regal hound]

@surreal swan DM me first if you end up going the Fjell route (if you're in the US)

[surreal swan]

will do

[silent python]

Does anyone know how long the spacebar keycap is?

[regal hound]

Thank you

[exotic haven]

@hybrid rapids sorry for the ping but is the aluminium case sold by wooting happening ?

[round dove]

Not saying you should order from prokeys

But they replied today

Benefit of the doubt?

[flat phoenix]

they have tofu60s in stock?

🤨

that's surprising

[round dove]

Yea apparently

I ordered 5degree case

[regal hound]

Maybe they have the 5 degree in stock. I asked them about the Tofu and no answer to my email or my phone call or in their discord

Plus the 5 degree case is supposed to come with blockers and I dont see it mentioned in the description of what is included.

[worthy barn]

would the pcb fit in a ghost k1 case?

[regal hound]

maybe but you would go from plastic to plastic

[worthy barn]

im getting the ghost k1 aluminum case

[regal hound]

Oh I haven't seen an aluminum k1. Let us know how it goes.

[tawdry ivy]

Freebird60 coming in stock to ship soon it seems. In transit already

I tried as hard as i could to center it

[round dove]

The review under it says it does come with it lol

But yea idk

It does seem really sus with discord channel dead and social links not being updated

[fresh jackal]

What alu case? We haven't Announced any such product.

[fresh jackal]

A quick PSA from yours truly - Before putting your precious new 60HE into an aftermarket case, PLEASE double and triple check that it's on our community driven case compatibility list, OR that you've made sure to ask folks here to help do a visual inspection of any cases NOT mentioned there to minimize risks.

A few cases we have on the list as not-supported (without modding) have cropped up, resulting in dead PCBAs requiring replacements on our end (due to components getting punctured or crushed)

If you have your 60HE in a case not on the list that's working, feel free to post about it here and ping me, so we can add it - this also goes for cases you have that you can see won't work. 🙂

just remember that there might be some interference with the switches by default being north facing. make the switches south facing so that there’s no interference

[eager pasture]

Yes they are. I have a set of their Apollo keycaps.

[tardy spire]

can you use rgb with the keycaps? at night i need the rgb to see some of the keys sometimes

[eager pasture]

Yes. The Lighting can be seen around the edges of the keycaps.

[tardy spire]

alright tysm

[tardy spire]

are your switches south or northfacing?

[eager pasture]

I have a few Wooting 60HE. If you run GMNK keycaps, you will need to go south facing

[fresh jackal]

Says who?

[eager pasture]

On the Ghost Judges caps, north facing works

[tardy spire]

not sure what gmnk is guessing just another keycap company but ty

[eager pasture]

Sorry typo. I had some interference with my GMK Posh set with 2 or 3 keys. I flipped south facing for just those keys

YMMV

[fresh jackal]

Juuuuust making sure you ACTUALLY had issues, and didn't parrot the youtubers saying "yeah if it isn't OEM, you GOTTA south face the switches", cause that just isn't true in most cases.

And it's a lot of work if not needed 😄

[eager pasture]

No. I tend to test everything for myself before making blanket comments

[fresh jackal]

You da real MVP 😄

Ducky Mecha Case is really good. Without proper sound dampening it will have a ring to it though but it looks awesome imo.

[exotic haven]

But does Ducky sells the case as a standalone without the keyboard ?

[granite spruce]

I've heard conflicting speculation about adding dampeners to berger mounted pcbs - can anyone provide some insight on how it could affect the integrity of the board?

[hardy wren]

you guys know any acrylic case for the keyboard
that might fit

[eager pasture]

Wooting themselves made a YouTube video on that very subject.

https://youtu.be/tlPX6gYSxyU

[regal hound]

@hardy wren the Tofu60 and 5 degree acrylic cases both work fine.

@granite spruce I've burger mounted before for a few days and didn't have any issues. It was my favorite sound profile so I changed to friction fit mounting. It's always worth testing to see what you think yourself. Glad to see your case arrived too!

[hardy wren]

U know where I can get them in stock?

[regal hound]

If you're in the US this store says they have some BUT I can not confirm that and I do not know of or vouch for them - https://www.prokeys.store/products/tofu-case?variant=39287260840098

Their social media and discord are dead or non-existent which is never a good sign but you might get lucky

[slim pond]

Thoughts on buying from divinikey?

[barren atlas]

Recommend. One of the top keeb companies imo, I’ve ordered a lot of diff things from them and never had issues. the staff is also active in their discord which I appreciate from a company

[slim pond]

Alright thanks

Just bought my set of PBTFans BoW keycaps 🙂 got a decent deal too, woulda been $100ish on KBDFans site, divinikey total was $89 🤑

[regal hound]

I like the PBTfans stuff. Just clean your fingers after munching on your cheetos first!

[slim pond]

Lol im DEFINITELY not eating cheetos on an all white setup 🤣😭

[round dove]

Not saying they can be trusted, but i tried order and cancelling it, they replied a day later and refunded

So i guess there is a degree of legitimacy

But the dead social media and discord really doesnt help

I contacted them via replying to order confirmation email

But yea here is the order

Shipping costed more than the case kekw

Love the Baldr60, my current daily driver as well, just not with the RGB on 😆

[round dove]

I had to sand the screw points a bit on the pcb

Otherwise the screws dont go in properly

[round dove]

Is gummy o ring fit possible on the case?

[surreal swan]

Where are you? My shipping was 12$

[round dove]

Nz

[surreal swan]

No wonder

[regal hound]

@round dove yes, I posted a YouTube video somewhere in here of it being gummy mounted

[round dove]

Any aliexpress o ring available ?

Dont want o ring being $5 and shipping $50

[round dove]

I see the video, for baldr60 do you just push it in and kinda let it float with standoffs having o ring on top?

Or remove standoffs

[regal hound]

The o-ring floats it but I did put rubber bumpers in the corners that are slightly higher than the standoffs

[round dove]

Ah ok

So just find some rubber supports

That is taller than the standoff

[round dove]

Maybe dip some silicone on the standoffs might work too

[surreal swan]

Confirmed my tofu60 shipped from pro keys, will post when I get it as well.

They still have acrylic and white in stock I believe

Will probably get it in a day or 2

I might just splurge for the klippe T since “final keyboard” no more after this! And their blue color is perfect

almost all of them are out of stock now - I think e-white is the only one left

@frail willow did you see that video i linked? thats tirades video of the klippe gummy o ring mounted

may as well go klippe at that rate 😉

Yea I did, the metal looks nice

Only thing I need to consider is the steep typing angle (more for gaming)

holy fuck freebirds oos too now lmfao

i bet wooting is workin on a metal case

everything is selling out

I’ve ever only noticed it in gaming, but I never kept track of all my previous kb angles to know what my preference is

That’s what I’m saying! I swore I looked 2 days ago and it was in stock

It was 😉

that was still considered a preorder too

I actually talked to the owner via email and I think he is just trying to close out the site and sell off the inventory. If people start receiving their orders then that's a good sign.

So hopefully. Lucy can let us know

[regal hound]

@fresh jackal I built my daughter a BBOX a few weeks ago but hers is prettier and MUCH louder (she wanted clicky switches)

[fresh jackal]

Looks great 😄

Do all the pieces fit neatly? I had to apply a biiiit of sandpaper on a few to get them all sitting neat.

[regal hound]

I used an exacto knife to trim the edges but the issue we ran into was that the USB-C wouldn't fit in the hole if we had that little cylinder piece installed in the case so we had to leave it out (this wasn't a Wooting PCB)

[brittle halo]

Just finished my 60he! - Purple Fjell case w/ PBTfans Purpurite keycaps

[regal hound]

That looks great! Fantastic job!

[fresh jackal]

Similar issue with the 60HE. Couldn't use included brass standoff extenders, and I killed my first 60HE when I didn't remove ALL of the "unused" standoffs with pliers and a cutter 😄

But once I did that, the USB would line up perfectly. And then I filled the case with a ton of ESD safe pillow stuffing.

[regal hound]

No one appreciates the sacrifices we make to save the others 😆

[round dove]

Yea, need more underglow tho

[slim pond]

Best way to lube springs? Im assuming bag but whats the best way to do that

[regal hound]

small bag, few drops of 105 and vigorous shaking. Ive only done it once and now I just brush the ends lightly with 205. No clue which is better

Took me just as long to untangle my springs I feel like haha

[slim pond]

Hmm i see lol and if i use a brush for the springs only do the ends or the whole thing?

[quartz geyser]

Thanks for the reply, I bought the case only and I know it comes with the damp pad, should I buy zip n fit to dampen? New to all this but wanna make it right.

[eager pasture]

Nice. There is not a lot of depth. You may have to use one or the other dependent on the thickness of the zip n fit. Otherwise your usb-c port may not align properly. It's easy to experiment so try it out.

[regal hound]

@quartz geyser try some polyfill first instead of foam or zip n fit

[quartz geyser]

@regal hound @eager pasture I appreciate the feedback, do you guys have any soundtests with the wooting and FB60? New to the entire "custom" keyboard thing and want to make sure I get the best out of what I bought. I'll try out the polyfill first, anything else I should add besides o-rings for a burger mount and the poly fill? I havent been able to find much that was of any help on modding.

[eager pasture]

Sorry. I didn't record a sound test for the Freebird60. If you are going to do the burger mount, I'd recommend using nylon screws with that mod.

[quartz geyser]

@eager pasture No worries at all, should I be expecting a similar sound to the tofu? I feel like I need validation to tell me if I should have gone with a different case lmao. Saw one video after I already made the purchase that didn't really impress me with the sound compared to a lot of the tofu mods I've seen.

[eager pasture]

I found the sound signatures of both of those cases to be very similar. The switch type is the main culprit but also the volume and materials the case is composed from.

One of the reasons why folks are experimenting with different plate types (custom cut) is to chase the holy grail of perfect sound... Which is perhaps not achievable with the Lekker switch.

What can not be overstated is the performance of this keyboard. The Wooting folks did a fine job there. Heck I have the original Wooting One and modded that board to improve the sound as well.

[surreal swan]

The biggest difference (to my ears) is the stab keys, especially the spacebar.

[regal hound]

I agree with Tech Junkie and I've said similar things every week. The 60HE is a performance gaming keyboard and it was never designed to feel or sound like expensive boards that are focused on those aspects. However, with some upgrades, effort and experimentation you can make the 60HE feel and sound quite good. Lubing your switches and upgrading your case is the biggest improvement for sure. After that there are tons of smaller tweaks you can do, some easier and some harder. For example, you can fit the wooting into almost any plate/gasket mount keyboard case out there if you have a custom plate made. There are currently over 30+ cases out there that you can put the wooting in with a little work and thats just that ones I know of personally. As for aluminum cases themselves, I tend to prefer the sound of heavier and thicker cases. The FB60 being a 1/3 of the weight of the Tofu or Klippe cases for example sounds tinnier and more hollow to me (it might not to you). The Fjell is probably the best case out there right now in the aluminum line but as with everything, the best costs money.

[quartz geyser]

To reiterate I appreciate you guys helping me out, I didn't even think about the difference in weight when buying this case. I am only used to simple switches like cherry mx reds (and browns before that) so for me I feel like any lubed linear switch will definitely exceed my expectations. I have been trying to find a "what to my ears & knowledge" is a quality sound, with gaming as my main focus entirely. I may end up going with the Klippe, the price tag originally turned me away, and from the compatibility website I thought the fb60 looked nearly identical to the tofu and with reviews felt that they had led me to the same conclusion. I feel like the weight of the case could have a major affect on the quality of sound for the board, although I'm still only used to the ducky mecha mini as the best quality keyboard I've used. To clarify, I will be lubing the switches and stabilizers as a start and I'm left wondering, if there's any other simple mod I could do really make this "sound better" would it be the case? I guess I'm willing to take the loss on the fb60 if it's truly significant.

[gusty tiger]

Don’t overthink too much, you could hate the sound of a tofu and love a fb60, just gotta test it out and see what you enjoy, if you like the look and the typing angle, those are two of the biggest things in my opinion when selecting a case

Like you said, upgrading from a ducky, the fb is gonna feel godtier.

[quartz geyser]

Thanks again guys.

I'll make sure to send a photo once I'm finished with it all lol

[regal hound]

Also its worth noting that the Klippe is 3x the price of the FB60 and it may not sound 3x better or even better enough for you to think it was worth the money. What the Klippe does get you is better flexibility for things like gummy mount and higher quality finish, so its not just about weight and sound.

[digital cloud]

Do o-rings mess up the analog function if you add them to the keycaps?

[fresh jackal]

Yes.

[digital cloud]

Okay thanks

[calm storm]

can you use a custom coiled cable with the 60he?

[regal hound]

Depends on the cable, wire gauge used, cable length, build quality, etc etc

[slim pond]

Same pickle im in lol got the case and keycaps picked but nooo clue on the cable yet but pretty sure i want a quick disconnect coiled white one

[flat phoenix]

Yeah the black and yellow cable that comes with the 60he just doesn

t

fit with my setup

thinking about getting a coiled glorious cable

[hexed pond]

Can anyone with a fjell case kind enough to help me measure the exact length of the case?

[regal hound]

@hexed pond Fjell: 25mm H x 300mm W
Klippe: 21mm H x 295mm W

[hexed pond]

Ty

[slim pond]

Thats what i was looking at too lol but idk, something kinda put me off that, dont think its like fast enough per say

[gusty tiger]

Massive thank you again to the 🐐 @regal hound Helped me in gettin upgraded from a tofu to a klippe before my wooting even got here, Great dude, really apperciate you again. & I’m sure I’ll be bugging you for more questions amigo🫡

[flat phoenix]

I actually got my white klippe T from him too

[regal hound]

The gravy train is pretty much over though. Ive only got a few cases left and those will probably be gone by end of next week. Glad most of them went to wooting owners.

[tawdry ivy]

oh wow fb60 cases sold out on kfa

didn't even realize the entire incoming batch was sold out already

[abstract pelican]

would burger mounting the wooting in a tofu60 change the sound profile at all?

[surreal swan]

Badseed has it in his video

[elfin hill]

Have everything I need to mod my keeb but been waiting a month for my keycaps 🙃

By that I mean they shipped a month ago

[eager pasture]

Very thoughtful to be so helpful to the community @regal hound . Kudos!

[fresh jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/piddel-piddel-meme-piddel-gaming-piddel-pain-pain-gif-26176777

No more cases.

[regal hound]

Maybe a new savior is on the horizon and I can pass the torch.

[digital cloud]

Would Durock stabs be an improvement over the stock ones? I have no problem with the stock ones, I’m just curious

[fresh jackal]

Not really.

[digital cloud]

Okay cool. I won’t waste my time then

[restive grail]

60he inside klippe T

[regal hound]

Looks super clean!

[finite meteor]

🏆

[regal hound]

@surreal swan how long after your PK order did it take you to get a shipping email?

[kindred cloak]

be me patiently waiting for aliexpress to ship the kit

[knotty wedge]

Custom wooting x keycult no.1/60 plate

[surreal swan]

1 business day

[regal hound]

Thanks. I placed an order on Sunday evening just to see if they were legit (and $45 was a good price for a 5 degree) but no shipping email yet

@knotty wedge Please show us when its done and tell us how feels!

[kindred cloak]

this is so sweet

[digital cloud]

What sort of plate material will work with the lekker switches?

[regal hound]

Any plate material will work, its a question of how much flex before the switches start to register incorrectly, so probably best to avoid things like polycarbonate or any other really flexible material

[digital cloud]

Right. Yeah that’s what im asking

Thanks

[kindred cloak]

would fr4 be a bad idea

[tardy spire]

i saw this comment on the wooting burger mount video but im confused on how i would install it?

[digital cloud]

If that is the comment that suggests silicon stand off cover from kbd fans then you just slide them over the stand-off. It’s super easy

[regal hound]

Yeah those are just clear little covers you would slide over the standoffs

[sonic tusk]

are you able to sprint swap a wooting keyboard without it messing up the inout?

[fresh jackal]

Sprint...swap?

[fierce ether]

My custom fr4 plate works fine

[kindred cloak]

cool

[regal hound]

Does he mean spring swap?

[fresh jackal]

Huh... yeah that makes sense 😄

I was thinking some weird switch plate swap or something with the board turned on.

[regal hound]

Just in case he does the short answer is no if you swap to the lighter springs that wooting sells. If you are trying to source your own you need to make sure they dont interact with magnets

haha maybe so, I could be wrong

[fresh jackal]

Your theory makes a LOT more sense.

[knotty wedge]

Do any of you have a 3D printer?

[regal hound]

I have a 4d printer because I like my prints to factor in time.

Whats up? Have a printing question?

[gusty tiger]

Whole time he’s an expert in everything he touches💀

[regal hound]

I actually know next to nothing about most things (including 3d printing) I do however know a lot about spending/wasting money.

[surreal swan]

@regal hound
Tofu60 acrylic from pro keys is here

[regal hound]

Still no shipping confirmation for me. I'll keep you posted but glad you were able to snag one. Hopefully they are legit for everyone.

[surreal swan]

Is the center post a problem?

I'm guessing if I don't screw the bottom center it shouldn't matter much

[regal hound]

Nope, the PCB has a mounting hole for it

[surreal swan]

Got it ty

[regal hound]

If you don't plan to attach the middle mount point I'd suggest a very thin piece of foam or something to help reduce the sound of the PCB hitting the standoff when typing.

Something thin like a switch pad would work.

[surreal swan]

I'll attach I suppose. Not much to gain from not doing it considering I'm using the bottom pad

[hardy wren]

How long did it take and do you plan on burger mounting

[surreal swan]

3 days but I would have been 2 if usps didn't have a delay in my city.

No I don't see any point to burger. I already have keyboards with medium flex and it makes basically no difference to me personally

[hardy wren]

So ur just going to put it in the way it is

[surreal swan]

Correct

Wooting foam and tape

[regal hound]

Burger mounting is only supposed to help remove some of the tinniness you get when direct tray mounting in an aluminum case. Wouldn't do much in an acrylic case (and doesn't do a ton in an aluminum case either in my testing)

Think of it as isolation pads I guess.

[hardy wren]

Wait where u from that only took 3 days?

[regal hound]

He bought a case from a vendor that had stock last week but seems to lack almost any kind of support. He is the only one who seems to have received something so far I believe.

[hardy wren]

Damn Fr

When did u order

[regal hound]

I bought a $45 case also over the weekend but havent received a shipping email yet so we will see.

They are out of stock now and might have been legitimate but just lacking in service.

[surreal swan]

The company is in CA, I'm there so its not far

[hardy wren]

So if I buy something I might not be able to get a refund

If it don’t deliver

[surreal swan]

Someone already got a refund from them and posted screenshots here

I'd say they're legit at this point.

[regal hound]

Just use a credit card that you can easily file a dispute on and you should be safe.

[surreal swan]

@regal hound are there any cool pudding type caps that don't feel so shit?

[round dove]

I got refunded from them

[surreal swan]

I ordered those cerakeys a while ago but refunded because I was scared about the weight on wooting

And damage to the switches

Seems theres nothing else quality for cool rgb

[round dove]

Pudding is always rgb at the cost of feel

Normal pudding and translucent black top

Thats what black translucent looks like without rgb

[hardy wren]

Why u refund ?

[round dove]

Just to see if i will get scammed or not

[flat phoenix]

I dont like puddings since too much rgb

[round dove]

Their media and discord is dead

[hardy wren]

Matrix pudding

[round dove]

They replied twice in two days

Really fast customer support actually

[regal hound]

My biggest gripe with shine-through keycaps is that they are almost always OEM profile which I personally detest. Then top it off with being shit quality usually.

[round dove]

Yep

[surreal swan]

Yea.. maybe I'll grab another cannonkeys set. The texture is 🤌

[round dove]

And font is weird too

Spelling out backspace instead of just an arrow triggers me so much

[nocturne bluff]

They gave foam for the acrylic?

[round dove]

Thats 60he's case foam

[opaque quail]

What’s some key caps that y’all recommend that are black with transparent letters? Or the better option out of the ones available from Wooting?

[nocturne bluff]

hahaha I thought you unboxed it like that

[wary mango]

you can make the LEDs shine downwards on the 60HE wireless 😅

[wary mango]

you can find tons of shine through keycaps that are black, it's really more about your preference r.e. materials and your budget

for example, pudding keycaps are incredibly popular and well known, the stock keycaps that come with the 60HE are pretty nice too!

[uncut surge]

https://hibi.mx/products/june
I wonder how it compares with wooting's own silicone prototype.

[sleek lintel]

yeah we closed our shop for about 8 months and opened again last month

[regal hound]

Hey glad you could make it!!

[sleek lintel]

sorry to everyone thinking we're a scam LOL we just haven't been active in months!

[round dove]

Really need to say that on your store lmao, also is it just clearance now

[regal hound]

@sleek lintel check your dm

[surreal swan]

Left a review, thanks

[regal hound]

I will officially say they get my thumbs up. Answered my emails, came into the discord, delivered to Lucy and provided a tracking number to me.

They are out of Tofu's but still have a few 5 degrees left he said.

[surreal swan]

I think they still have e-white tofu, although the price is a bit high 😉

[regal hound]

He just told me the last one was sold.

[surreal swan]

ah nice

[rustic anchor]

has anyone tried modding with the salvation case?

[regal hound]

Yes. It fits

[sonic tusk]

what size is the spacebar for the wooting? 60 he

[hazy sentinel]

Is Tofu60 the only case that’s translucent that works? I have pom keycaps so i’m gonna go all in on the translucent look

[round dove]

Baldr60 works too

[round dove]

6.25u

[sonic tusk]

thank you also what colour board do you recomend im not sure what keycaps im getting

so i need recomendation for both

[round dove]

What do you mean by board

Case?

[sonic tusk]

yeah

ima case swap

but idk what colour to get it in

[round dove]

Whatever you like that has gh60 profile

[sonic tusk]

i know whats compatabble

i mean what do you think would look good in terms of colour alone

[round dove]

My preference is different to yours

So i have no idea

[runic hill]

Go with a rainbow butterfly case, hands down.

[sonic tusk]

wheeesh

[round dove]

My two case

[sonic tusk]

sheeesh

that rgb going crazy

[round dove]

Second one looks like this with light off

[hazy sentinel]

those are sold out 😭

ig any that are in stock

[round dove]

Yea ik i got it from local

But you can just searcb gh60 acrylic on aliexpress

Most of them are low profile tho

[dim bone]

can someone explain on what occasion do we need to flip the switches

ik they are north facing when switches r usually south

but how does that affect it? im guessing it wont fit some keycaps unless u flip?

[fresh jackal]

When your keycaps are scraping against each other, because you chose something other than OEM keycaps.

Don't flip em if you don't have issues.

[dim bone]

ah ez, so oem/cherry r usually fine?

[scarlet notch]

Sneak peek, showing my final build soon hypeeee

[reef ingot]

the wooting only takes plate mounted stabs right?

[fresh jackal]

Correct.

And it doesn't make sense to replace them.

[reef ingot]

ty very much c:
yeah idk will probably do it anyways just because hehe

[tepid flame]

It’s Wooting Time

[digital cloud]

Maze64?

Looks dope

So I know that the o ring mod messes up the analog function but if I’m only using rapid trigger and continuous rapid trigger will adding o rings mess that up also? I don’t need the full keypress since I’m not using the keyboard as a game pad.

Also my rapid trigger and the release are set to .1mm

[tepid flame]

yes sir

[scarlet notch]

HERE IT IS! The Wooting x GMK Parcel custom build

[fresh jackal]

Be sure to post the full setup over in #1070668460905988106

[scarlet notch]

Info:
Maze64 case, standoffs not installed
50 cn springs, lubed with 205G0
Factory Wooting 60HE plate and PCB with 1 layer of factory foam (I split the foam)
GMK Parcel keycaps

[digital cloud]

Nice. I have that one

[digital cloud]

Did you need to flip the switches?

[scarlet notch]

I didn't flip the switches!

[digital cloud]

Oh great

[opaque basin]

Where do I get tiny o-rings for burger mount? Closest thing I have found is cherry Mx o-rings on maxgaming

[regal hound]

Amazon

[mint pivot]

Here is my Scuffed 60HE

[regal hound]

Nothing scuffed about that other than your enter key 🙂

Looks great!

[mint pivot]

Ye I'm gonna order wooden one that would fit

[digital cloud]

Any thoughts about this?

[fresh jackal]

Still a potential. Because you're pushing down, but the rings push back up, you can accidentally trigger the rapid trigger re-actuation.

[digital cloud]

Ah. That makes sense.

[regal hound]

Ive seen in the support threads of a rare few people having rapid trigger issues when using burger mount and another person using tape mod, so anything is possible.

[subtle furnace]

The shipping cost on the Klippe T hurt.

[flat phoenix]

Indeed it does

[regal hound]

Dang boys we been slow in here today!

[gusty tiger]

I purposely didn’t post my key cap question here because I knew it was gonna be stupid so😂😂😂😂😂 @regal hound

[hollow elk]

Pro keys case came in 😍

[round dove]

Looks nice

Has anyone tried silicone pour ?

I did it yesterday but the silicone rubber around copper standoff didnt solidify

I ended up cutting a square around it

But not sure why it happens

Im sure its not a mixing issue as rest ff the silicone rubber is perfectly fine

[noble laurel]

Isn't the 1/60 center usb & using a db?

[gusty tiger]

bro im so glad this worked out for people, people had me feeling like i got people scammed at first i was like aw fuck man lmao

[hollow elk]

Yeah, the lack of socials and limited reviewers were a little sus. However, the owner was very responsive and shipping was extremely fast. Appreciate the assist from the community.

[hollow elk]

Thanks bro! Never done a silicone but, very interested in sound dampening options, experience and recommendations for acrylic.

[round dove]

To be fair I found out their social is dead after i ordered

So i was like oh shit lmao

[gusty tiger]

he ended up joinin this disc too actually lmao, pretty tight and lmao i felt hella nervous cuz people were dm'in me stuff and you posted you ordered and i was like well fuck

@round dove

[round dove]

Would recommend silicone pour on clear case

I bought it to to work so i can use the company oven to see if it dries faster lol

[round dove]

Yea hahaha but he did cancel it for me after request so i was like yea they legit i guess

[gleaming crescent]

Is case swapping easy? I never molded a keyboard and I'm scared all break my wooting

Modded*

[flat phoenix]

Yes its easy

[gleaming crescent]

Alright I'll try 😭😭 hopefully I don't break it

[regal hound]

@gleaming crescent its 5 screws and thats it. Watch the wooting video on how to remove it and reinstall it and be sure to use a case on the compatibility list and you'll be golden

Well dont wear a wool sweater and play with ballons while doing it and youll be golden

[gleaming crescent]

Was planning to but now I won't thanks for the help

[sleek lintel]

😭😭

[gusty tiger]

too bad you can't pull more stock outta the air lmafoooaoao

the tofus would go so fast

[hazy sentinel]

anyone know if this works?

[surreal swan]

Danger - unless you can unscrew all the standoffs that aren't needed it will break your board (speaking as someone who busted their shit ). Avoid it

Just get one of the cases on the approved list. There's in stock cheap options and quality ones.

The standoff at the top left is in the exact spot you do not want. With confidence if you use it, it will break your shit.

[hazy sentinel]

man there’s like no acrylic ones 😔

[subtle furnace]

What keycap set would you guys reccomend with a dark green case? I would prefer a darker color scheme if possible.

[surreal swan]

Someone posted a build the other day that was green and said the keycaps. Scroll up

Edit: They actually just used the default keycaps that come with the wooting. Looks good

[hazy sentinel]

what case is this? Tofu60?

[round dove]

Baldr60

Its glass

[hazy sentinel]

damn how’s it sound?

[round dove]

Eh like same as aluminium case

Its 1.3kg lol

I did silicone pour in it

[fresh jackal]

No. It's even on the list as such.

[hazy sentinel]

did not realize

[dim bone]

bruh it must drive u insane answering the same questions over and over again about cases lmao

[round dove]

If you wanna use that you gotta cut off all the standoffs thats not used

So it doesnt poke the pcb

[gusty tiger]

thats why sometimes people just get a link to the compatibility page lol

[grim pond]

can i ask what mods you did with this build? North or south facing switches? burger mounted? did you use wooting stock foam in that case? tape mod? thanks XD

[kindred cloak]

the store that sells the poseidon case dmed me saying that they have no more gray ones in stock

so they're sending me a black case instead

damn shame but it's alright

[regal hound]

Was it an aliexpresss store?

[wanton forum]

Damn should have bought lol

[brittle halo]

Kept everything pretty simple for now, north facing switches (haven't had any issues), no burger mount, stock foam that'll be replaced with StupidFish foam once it arrives and 3 layers of tape

[kindred cloak]

ye

[regal hound]

Tell them you want like $20 back for changing your colors

[valid vault]

any link Keycaps UK-ISO?

but are not ISO-UK

[valid vault]

i found out now that i prefer ansi (longer shift and many almost all custom keycaps are ansi)

being cher I don't want to give back the keyboard that hasn't arrived yet and wait another two months, when I have money to throw away it will also take the anxiety

[hazy sentinel]

Hi everyone, I just received my long awaited 60he. The out of the box as a stock experience exceeded my expectations as I mainly used my ducky mecha mini keyboard just for gaming. But the 60he made me want to experience more into mods and I've done some looking around and have decided to go with the Poseidon PSD60 case to make sure for a easy case swap with no modifications and planning on lubing my switches from videos I saw on how to lube the 60he lekker switches. But I am also trying to look into keycaps and haven't found much info. Anybody know any good legit sites for some good keycaps that is compatible for the lekker switches? I'm new to the modding community here so please go easy on me haha.

[tepid flame]

Depends on your layout, most Keycaps will fit.

[hollow elk]

Look for "MX" stems for the keycaps. You will notice a "+" shaped slot on the keycap and a matching stem shape on the switch.

[valid vault]

links keycaps iso uk??? pls

[wet wind]

What case did you get? I just realized I had to return my tofu60 2.0 order since it doesn’t fit the wooting and am trying to find a comparable case that’s also in a green colorway

I just accepted the shipping cost and got the Klippe T in the ultraforest color scheme.

[neon yarrow]

anyone running into the issue with a mushy enter key? took the stab apart and re lubed it to see if it would help and it didn't. wondering if it's my case? tofu60 burger mounted

[mint oyster]

Has anybody here tried the holee mod on the stock wooting stabs. I've been lurking in this thread for several weeks now but I haven't seen a single mention of it. I've seen mansen say multiple times that he doesn't really recommend swapping the stabs, but is the holee mod benificial/possible on the wooting?

[regal hound]

I just talked about this yesterday actually in the 60HE channel

Wasn't beneficial for me

[elfin hill]

Gmk wob finally came in

[nocturne bluff]

Do the gmk caps feel better than the Wooting stock caps?

[elfin hill]

Yeah but they also cost about 2/3 of the whole wooting 60he

[urban sand]

Prototype Wooting 60 HE w/ Drop Carina Brass Plate (Still need to mod it and waiting for Durock Plate Mount Stabs)

The Wooting original ones weren’t compatible with the plate

[round dove]

Its also not shine through

[tawdry ivy]

i'd argue i prefer the feel of the wooting ones to gmk caps - specifically the pbt ones

but design wise i prefer other keycaps, just pbt as a material feels way nicer to me than abs on gmk

[urban sand]

Btw I glued the Standoffs to the Plate with Metal Epoxy, worked perfect

[urban sand]

@regal hound

[patent breach]

Didn’t realise there’s a modding channel now

Iso plate with flex cuts, do y’all think this could work ?

Gonna be made of Pom in the end, this is my first plate design so im not sure if i made any mistakes

The flex cuts are similar-ish to the flex cuts in Hibis June plate, which is the case my wooting is gonna get swapped to once it arrives

[regal hound]

@urban sand well thats better than using twine like your friend did haha

[urban sand]

Haha yeah i was trying to find something consistent and fast

[regal hound]

@patent breach It could work. I caution against the flex cuts because well you dont want any board flex but others have done it. Im pretty sure @tight siren threw some flex cuts in his

[urban sand]

The Metal Epoxy is definitely a good option as long as you keep some weight down on it for a few hours

[regal hound]

I have 2 of the standoff kits. Im 3d printing a test plate for a Raindrop60 today and if it works Ill have one cut

[patent breach]

I can definitely see why flex cuts could become a problem in this board, but that's why I left holes for every plate standoff. I suspect once all standoffs are screwed back in, the flex cuts won't be doing much anymore, so I basically wasted the better half of yesterday teaching myself shapr3d for flex cuts that will probably not have any function

Buuuuut it was still kinda fun and maybe I will be pleasantly surprised by the result

[tepid cove]

[livid robin]

is the keychron q4 a case i can use to mod my Wooting? it’s a 60% but not too sure if the standoffs would damage it

[patent sorrel]

I am thinking about a tape mod. What tape do you recommend and does it mess with the hall sensors? Heard it can interfere in some way.

[flat phoenix]

masking tape

[patent sorrel]

Thanks I'll try it out

[patent breach]

I used scotch 33+ electrician tape, i think that works really well due to its rubbery texture

Also no potential fire hazard, I’ve heard of tapemods catching fire before

But im not sure what exactly has to go wrong for that to happen

[patent sorrel]

I just found scotch blue thought it might be a good option

Nice name btw

[loud belfry]

With an aluminum case, you can feel the heat the 60HE puts out. My Klippe T is warm to the touch after a few hours of use.

[gusty tiger]

Most people say tape mod isn’t noticeable on 60he

[fresh jackal]

Including ourselves.

Sander did an extensive video on it.

[gusty tiger]

I was waiting for Anders to comment😂 You’re the one I saw say it🫡

[patent sorrel]

So it's basically not worth it?

Great I'll check that video out

[regal hound]

Ive done it also and it did nothing for me

[patent breach]

Damn i definitely notice a big difference in sound with tape nod

Not really better or worse sound than stock but just different

[regal hound]

Thats the beauty of the hobby!

[patent breach]

It is also the slippery slope of the hobby ...

But you are correct

[patent breach]

Does anyone here know where i can have Pom plates cut/machined without breaking the bank?

Ideally in Germany

I found someone in australia that has acceptable shipping costs, and most other places i found are the US and have horrendous shipping fees

[regal hound]

Im US based so no clue there. The hardest part is finding people who can countersink as well or you have to do it yourself or just ignore the mounts being flush

[patent breach]

A guy I’ve spoken to about this told me that countersinking is easy with a spot drill and a steady hand

I trust myself enough to do that :D

[regal hound]

Its all easy with the right tools. A drill press would be even easier (unless thats what you mean about spot drill)

[patent breach]

No its just a drill bit i was recommended

But a drill press would be ideal, don’t have one tho

I checked someone’s website earlier, the plate would cost me 2.81€

Machine start up costs 79€

[regal hound]

I used sendcutsend.com here in the US after I 3d print and test fit

[patent breach]

They provide a lot of services damn

That’s pretty cool

[sonic walrus]

anyone use this case - i know its compatible but just wanna see how it looks

https://www.amazon.ca/Anodizing-Aluminum-Mechanical-Keyboard-Compatible/dp/B06XNPN32R

doesn't the KC 1/60 have a centered daughterboard?

[knotty wedge]

It does

[minor wave]

do... how are u gonna overcome that

[knotty wedge]

Soldering

[minor wave]

solder onto where the usb thing is?

please let me know how and if it works because i'll be damned if I won't make another one myself not a KC but similar

Or is there any aluminium case that fits the wrist rest ?

[regal hound]

It goes well with all 60% cases, SOme it fits perfect, some its a millimeter or 2 smaller or longer but still looks great. I dont think you'll have luck tagging a mod to ask him about each case though

Best thing to do is compare the wrist rest width dimensions to the case dimensions

[subtle furnace]

Does changing the case just primarily affect the sound?

[eager pasture]

Yes, to some extent. However this hobby is also about so many sensory things. The quality of an aftermarket case can enhance and personalize your 60 HE. I prefer a more substantial case. I applaud Wooting for thinking for this in mind when they made the 60 HE.

[hazy sentinel]

Does anyone know if this case: https://kprepublic.com/products/poseidon-psd60-case-anodized-aluminium-case-custom-mechanical-keyboard-black-siver-grey-blue-red-for-gh60-xd60-xd64?variant=36613267914915

Will fit the wooting 60he/ compatible

If you add an aluminum case it can also double as a weapon

[exotic haven]

Thanks will do

[eager pasture]

Protip for everyone new. Search function is your friend. Someone has likely asked and answered a question you may have. Try it first.

[elfin hill]

wish I had smaller hands for this burger mounting

[willow ledge]

How come you chose Ensolite foam? I don't think I've seen that being used for keyboards before. How do you like it?

[lavish anvil]

how many layers of tape should i use when tape modding and does the type of painters tape i use make a difference?

[gusty tiger]

most people say it doesnt make a difference

[eager pasture]

I'm glad you noticed that. A long time ago, I was very much into car audio. Ensolite was used for sound absorption by high level competitors. Kind of a secret ingredient. It is impervious to moisture and has a different sound absorption profile. I tested it out and enjoyed it in this build a bit more than other materials.

I tried it on another build I did and didn't like the effect as much. However, on this one, it works.

[willow ledge]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your secret ingredient. 😃

[pure wren]

anyone selling a tofu 60, preferably dark gray

[flat phoenix]

It probably doesnt make much of a difference because of the stock foam, other foams might have a better effect with it

[exotic haven]

Does the Mojo60 fits the wrist rest? Perhaps you know since you requested it to appear on the compatibility list

[flat phoenix]

But im just saying that out of my ass

[gusty tiger]

@eager pasture are you around still?

[eager pasture]

Yup

[gusty tiger]

Have you gummy o-ring mounted in a klippe?

[eager pasture]

Yes. Klippe and Fjell

and a few others

[gusty tiger]

So I took out both standoffs on my klippe, covered the entire bottom in polyfill - do i just kinda have to finesse it in now? it feels tight but im just nervous to push

i remember tirades video but just being safe

[eager pasture]

Push gently. That's just friction you need to overcome.

As you are pushing, you are also edging the o-ring into place.

[gusty tiger]

the top and sides go in smooth but the bottom part is what i feel like im fighting

should i try to straighten it out more as i push it in?

[exotic haven]

Can someone tell me which Aluminium Case fits the Wooting WristRest, please ?

[rustic anchor]

just secured a tofu60 with silicone filling 😄 super excited for this board to arrive

[eager pasture]

I used a plastic tool that has a flat edge. I believe its called a trim piece tool used for cars to remove panels. A credit card also works.

Use the credit card to gently push in the o-ring. Go slow.

[gusty tiger]

okay i just wanna make sure im not going too hard

i have a tool i can do that with but just wanted to be safe

[eager pasture]

Don't use something sharp obviously.

[gusty tiger]

yea i have the same thing u have i think its from the keycaps i got actually

[pure wren]

best aluminum cases that fit wooting

[regal hound]

Yeah watch my video but on the front edge start in the middle and work the oring out to the corners. Using a plastic shim or credit card can help.

@exotic haven

[gleaming crescent]

it is very compatable

you can check the compatability list

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[round dove]

Anything with flat front fit wrist rest fine

Even ducky mecha mini case

[exotic haven]

Oh nice so it fits perfectly right ?

[regal hound]

Yes it's a perfect replacement case

[gusty tiger]

Alright, She is here. I have swapped the case and caps, gummy o-ring mount with polyfil on bottom.
Klippe Grey Case.

Again, this is in massive massive thanks to @regal hound for not only helping me out with my case but dealing with all my stupid ass questions the last 3 weeks. Truly a great great person with a huge heart. Thank you again, also thanks to @eager pasture for assisting with questions as well 🙂

[regal hound]

Youre welcome man! Looks so clean!!

[gusty tiger]

Yea I’m stoked with how it came out.

[vagrant kernel]

you seem to really like topographic maps

btw does the TAKE CONTROL strap lay freely there in the back, or did you.. attach it to the deskmat?

[gusty tiger]

Just laid it under my mat lmaoo

Thats why its kinda lifted up

I was thinkin I could maybe lightly screw it to the deskmat and just let it chill but it doesnt look too bad as is I feel like
