Better late than never - Thanks a lot for taking the time with the Wooting 60HE and modding it to the nuts. I hope this detailed video will help others with their build!
This is just the video I needed! Mine will look pretty similar!
Just ordered mine. Looking forward to trying out the hall effect Lekker switches and messing around with their software
You probably could attach a standoff to the PCB bottom hole. Even if there is no way to screw it into the base. Maybe it can reduce the flex?
Did u notice any issues with the flex? As far i know it's not good to have flex cause of the Hall effect
Very nice.
Mine is somewhat similar.
Kept the stock springs, lubed everything,
Tape mod.
Black KBD Blade
Cherry profile DMK Semiconductor triple-shot caps / Hiragana
Matching custom straight cable from MechCables
Absolutely love the build with the Lekker switches & the Wootility software, especially the webpage option, are incredible.
May I ask if you use the D65 gasket at all?
Just discovered your channel dear Bob and wow... I'm waiting for the arrival of my Wooting 60 HE (at the end of march, like many EU people).
Just getting interested about mods, especially for what is actually the best Keyboard (to play competitives FPS for sure). Thanks very much, for showing pretty much all the steps needed if the right materials are purchased for it.
Unfortunately for ISO French Keyboards, the choice of keycaps is very limited...But I'll manage *
Stumble accross your channel after typing "switch khail 8.0", I don't think i'm ready for the full moding of my g pro x wireless like your amazing work on your video 49g gproxw but I'll try the basics.
Also for purchase from your shop, tried to "estimate "shipping fees", don't seem to work for France. Is it possible to ship you items from France for professional mods ?
To conclude, thx for your content (glad to speak a bit of English also) because there's nothing close to this in French.
I'll promote your content the most I could.
Cheers. Gwen
This is gunna be a good one to explain to the accountant
I going to do something like this with a Freebird60 case
Did you lube the switches? It makes the sound profile slightly not as thin and you can experiment with more stabilizer mods Bc they are plate mount pretty sure.
they are prelubed
@@jerry_bl68 Switches do not come prelubed, but stabilizers do though.
Just did exactly the same case, but AKKO clear caps, its almost up there with my custom inky blacks lubed. Its crazy how well they did with this thing
5:33 wait I didn’t know they had it there😭
They really knew people would wanna customise this keyboard LMAO
Where did you get the tape?
i really like the way it sounds stock, i think i migh thave to buy one of these. it'll match the all black aesthetic of my house and the thwompyness of the keyb will sound amazing while im doing my daily journal with some lofi in the background.
You need to rotate the switches 180 degrees so its "south facing" so there is no interference with gmk cherry keycaps.
Yep - Some (most? GMK in particular) Cherry profile keycaps require a rather involved pull and rotation of all of the switches to avoid the scrape. :)
I’ve not felt any interference but will check 👍
@@Beardedbob it's not super noticable but it affects the feel and sound. There are some videos on the subject for more reference.
Does the wooting keyboard charge you right when u make the purchase? or does it charge you when the board is actually being shipped to you?
They charge you immediately, but it’s a great product.
Bob, love the vid but is there any reason your mic sounds so bad even during the sound test? Hard to here just what the final mod sounds like when its in web cam mic mode.
Where’s that cable from?
what mouse is that?
Nice build man! I wish they would sell just the pcb and lekker switches.
Agreed, hopefully they will
HE sensors have been around since 1876. The first HE keyboard was made in the 1970s. Fortunately regulated capitalism in Europe is destroying the megacorps that unregulated capitalism created. Imagine where we would be if unregulated and CONservatives didn't exist lol
@@BenLA5 can you explain a bit more, pls?
Do you mean that these HE keyboards existed, but were not made bc of US companies?
@@BenLA5 Imagine where we would be with communism...life would be a hell of a lot worse
@@jakeingram3490 Imagine? Um if u live in a CONservative area, u don't have to "imagine" anything. Competition from renewables is illegal--Con governments can interfere with the free market. Taxpayers are forced to pay for churches, and sky worshippers believe EVERYTHING except their book of fairytales should be banned, and give EVERYTHING they have to churches.
PUTLER has praised Cons like Conald Dump and Fox news for combing communism with fascism.
Ok cause I'm dumb can someone help me . Just any old keycaps should work on this or what am I looking for ?
Late reply, but any standard keycaps work on the Lekker switches
That's a lot of money to throw into a gaming board. I'm gonna maybe put mine in a tofu and call it a day haha
The Blade case might be even cheaper as the Tofu. Furthermore although I love GMK Keycaps they’re not the greatest for gaming, since they shine more quickly, so might be worse in comparison to epbt caps.
@@Definitely_Melnyx yea I’m just more familiar with the tofu but you might be right.
All my GMK sets have abnormal levels of shine on WASD left shift, and spacebar lol. I think PBT is the way to go for gaming sets.
And in all honesty sound doesn’t even matter on a gaming board since you will have headphones on a large majority of the time anyway
@@frankrossi3524 yeah agreed thats why i gave up building tofu65 and bought this
But sound is not bad in this keynoard even you lubed again its so good.
@@frankrossi3524 maybe future i can put wooting pcb on tofu60 case but first i need to find the case
Was gonna with blade 60 but I settled for old boring tofu60 case instead. Now I kinda regret it haha
I think both are good..... did you change the keycaps? or anything else?
I went with epbt 9009 (might change to epbt kuro&shiro later) lubed switches, tape mod. That’s it. Oh also burger mount, and case foam
@@obliviondust2719 is that the perfect setup or would you have wanted to change anything else?
Everbody has hair in their keeb lol
200 DOLLARS FOR KEYCAPS?!?!?!?!?????
Ikr…
@@Beardedbob what in the world made them 200 dollars whut?
Just something to keep in mind, as I see you've grabbed a custom coiled cable. You ( or anyone else) are likely to run into problems if you want to use the Tachyon mode. Here's a copied comment on another video from wooting themselves :
Tachyon mode is freaking out on you due to the coiled cable you use. The coiled cable length vs thickness is not proficient for our requirements when running RGB at full brightness and turning on Tachyon mode. Tachyon mode and especially RGB LED draw a lot more power. When using a thinner/longer cable, it'll not be able to steadily keep up the required voltage causing it to faux activate the hall sensors (keys)
Can confirm.
Good to know, I’ve not noticed a difference should i
It's a combination of how far the keyboard pushes USB specifications, signal loss due to cable length and potential lack of shielding (aviators don't hlep)
Lowering brightness or not using Tachyon both reduce the power draw and signal intensify, which can workaround longer cables.
Rly why this company disided to make this keyboard only in 60% version? WE NEED TKL HERE!
Because of the sudden 60% craze. Wooting's previous line of keyboards were Fullsize or TKL instead of Fullsize or 60%.
Agreed
There's a fullsize (Wooting 2 HE) which you can still buy. TKL, I've been watching their various twitch streams/update videos and reading between the lines of some of their comments makes me think their next board is going to be a TKL but it won't be announced until next year and probably won't ship until 2024. Give the Wooting 2 HE if you just want a normal board, it's a really good board.
GMK keycaps are not worth it in the slightest
I agree but I fancied some to test. I wouldn’t waste your money on some
@@Beardedbob have you tried SA profile? I'm mad on it these days.
No not yet, do you have a link?
Meh still sounds pretty sub par budget keyboard after modding
Who's gonna tell him?
What you gonna tell him?
@@Beardedbob there's not even close to be ultimate, and it's actually budget
@@Beardedbob To be ULTIMATE it must be at least a 75% WKL gasket mount, the WASD switches and the most used keys must be modded with much lighter springs and preferably with a very noisy feedback click, while the rest must be tactile from 65g, to avoid false inputs. The stabilizers need to be lubricated much better and preferably TX. Finally you need a PCB with polling rate software. The GMK ABS keys are the absolute worst choice for gaming, they are shiny and smooth and above all they are not backlit. The more expensive choices don't always make sense, indeed in this case they make the build completely useless for night use. You need much more resistant PBT double-shot keys, so you also need a north sided PCB, this is because the backlit keys are oriented to the north, and above all the Cherry profile is too high and spaced, you need a low XDA profile. The AWG28 coiled cables are too thin, and worsen the RGB performance of the PCB. An AWG24 straight cable without aviator connector is required to limit interference. Finally, needed a greater inclination of the keyboard.
@@emanueleapuzzo who the fuck cares about looking at their keys back lit is absolutely pointless
@@emanueleapuzzo do u even know what a wooting 60 HE is
