The Lekker switches don't need to be swapped to south facing to avoid interference. Gateron has added a new fillet to their new molds (ever since the Oil Kings I think) which avoids north facing interference with Cherry profile keycaps, which the Lekker has. Just a heads up if you happen to see this.

Just want to confirm that this is true based on our tests, but since we don't own GMK caps, we do not have enough confidence to officially recommend it and it's more "flashy" and easy to understand as there are a lot of people that forgot the reason for south facing switches.,

If you wrap the tape mod up along the sides of the PCB and plate (filling the gap between the two), you can get a clean sound and depending on layers even forgo case foam. I recommend some wheel balancing weights in the battery cavity of the Tofu case, tape mod as described and maybe a small bit of polyfill if needed.

Late to comment but I just received my board and I have some recommendations for those who follow this guide. 1. Absolutely relube the stabilizers on this board, they seem like they are lubed well but they are not... I took mine apart to see how well they were lubed, and they had lube just in the wrong locations or there just wasn't enough. I recommend following Taehatypes video on lubing stabs! 2. CLIP the stabs they are not preclipped. 3.I went ahead and used a silicone mix to help with the sound of the board and it came out fantastic! You could also go with a foam mod kit from StupidFish they make a kit for a lot of cases and the Tofu 60 is one of them. 4. I also swapped my springs for the lighter 50gm springs, and I can say it may not be worth it the slightly heavier springs are just fine however if you like a lighter feel than go for it. All that said after following this guide and doing the above mods I can say my board sounds and feels soooooo much better. Give it a try and come back to tell me how your boards sound!

Its incredible to me the amount of thought these guys put into this board. With how accessible the tofu is in general, this board ends up being more than good enough for the average gamer/gaming keyboard user. Sure the enthusiasts may harp on things like the steel plate and stiffness but to the everyday consumer, a tofu and some lube can send their typing and gaming experience to the moon, and that is so fucking cool. Also love that you walked through specifically how to mod this as well - I can also see this being a great guide for modding and making improvements for ANY gaming board, not even just this one. Awesome vid man, you can really tell that you care to get consumers the best experience possible and we love to see that.

You can prevent scratching the paint if you pull the switch up straight instead of rocking the puller back and forth when pulling the switch out. It's harder and the switch comes out more violently but nothing bad is going to happen. If you have a sturdy hand and pull without holding back you'll get them out faster and better this way.

If you want a nicer case try and get hold of one of a Mekanisk Fjell or Klippe. They have the same mounting points as a Tofu but sound and look much better. Also its a shame the PCB and plate sounded so crappy in the Salvation because they board does sound really good normally. Some of the more flexible plate materials might work if you used some plate foam.

@BSEUNHIR Жыл бұрын

Really like how far you managed to push it. The tripod stickers seem to isolate the switch instead of resonating through the rest of the board. I like that, but it seems like an absolute PITA. I'm personally a huge fan of the meatier bottom out of long pole switches, but that doesn't seem feasible with this magnet design. Also, really can't get over tactiles. Can't stand linears. Love how technically impressive this hardware is and love that Wooting enables you to go custom with it. The USB port placement is a bit unfortunate but you can still get it to work, so it's just a minor issue I guess. Will definitely recommend 60HE to people who are into gaming and linears and try to fix them on some custom stuff later down the line :) EDIT: Can you mount this by wrapping an o-ring around or is there not enough room? That might help the sound because the PCB stops making contact with the tray all together.

hey brian! not sure if you'll see this, but i saw a comment earlier that asked about a lower-profile or different case for the wooting pcb and plate other than the tofu60. I thought i'd leave a comment with some alternative choices. the five degree case is also a standard tray mount case but it's shorter and has - wait for it - a five degree typing angle as opposed to seven degrees on the tofu, so it should be good for gaming for long periods of time. it's also made by kbdfans so if someone is planning on getting a tofu case but wants something lower then this could be a good alternative. the blade60 case is another candidate but it only has two standoffs. if you keep the stock plate, though, as i imagine most will, the pcb+plate module *should* be rigid enough to give consistent performance but only time will tell.

@Swoahu Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for giving me ideas! The 60HE will be my first after 10 years of using apple keyboards. I was going to try the tofu60 but you reminded me that I have a strong preference for a lower profile so I'm going to keep looking. Nice pfp btw ;) 🐸 ❤️💜💙
