Hello everyone, I appreciate your interest in the modifications I made to my Wooting 60HE keyboard! I'd like to address a common misconception about the switches I swapped in the video.
The Gateron Magnetic Orange switches I used as replacements for the stock L60 Lekker switches are indeed compatible with and support the analog features of the Wooting keyboard. In fact, Gateron is the manufacturer behind the Lekker switches originally installed in the Wooting keyboard, so the essential analog functionalities-such as customizable actuation points, rapid triggering, and the magnetic hall effect-remain fully operational with these switches.
One of the few noticeable differences between the Gateron Orange switches and the Lekker switches lies in the spring tension, with the Gateron Oranges having slightly lighter springs. Some have also mentioned that the Gateron Orange switches are limited to 0.4mm Rapid Trigger. This distinction doesn't impede or alter the analog capabilities of the keyboard in any significant way. The core technology enabling analog functionality in the Wooting keyboard is inherent to both the Gateron Orange and the Lekker switches, ensuring seamless compatibility and operation.
Therefore, despite the switch replacement, the Wooting's analog features, which many of us appreciate for its precision and versatility, are retained and fully functional. Your interest and engagement mean a lot-thank you for watching!
i was gonna go with the lekker L45s and just lube them myself.. what do u think?
the sound is much better, kind of dampened. My ideal keyboard would be silent or very close to silent.
this is a work of art. great job dude, sound is fucking so good
Fun fact: Everytime he makes a cut in the video you can slowly hear him dying each time little by little 🥰
what?
Wtf
beautiful keycap selection and amazing full white build. I just love clean white builds they feel much more elegant compared to any other color scheme
Love the keyboard, I had the exact same case and keycaps in mind when ordering it about a week ago. I like your taste❤
hi, where do u find these keycaps please?
I'm buying this case and going to have similar mods, super excited when everything comes together
I have actually found lubing the switches in the places where films would normally go, helps tremendously with the weird clicky sound that the stock l60s make when letting go ofthe key quickly
That windows Sound when bro pressed a killed me😂🎉
Hi, i just want to ask did you re-lubed the stabilizers? or you just wiped out the old grease and added new dielectric grease? did you use Krytox 205 or something else? BTW great video man, gained a sub from me!
Didn't relube, just wiped and regreased the bars with dielectric grease.
lmaoooooo, all hands fucked up now part got me crying haha
great content bro, shits clean
Your keyboard is sick as fuck. Nicely done.
Yo, thats pretty good, its basically a custom already and looks clean.
I'd just play around with foams (no foam, wooting foam, tofu foam) and see what works best, it's got a pretty nice body now with the alu case and weight.
Also you can try to get one of those small deskmats for keyboards to move it around, can make it easier maybe?
or silicone
hi, I just wanted to ask, when you swap out the switches, does the wooting still keep is extremely fast actuation speed? I’m thinking of getting the wooting and modding it since I actually want it to sound good while also being good for gaming.
edit: I know it’s stated in the pin comment but I just wanted to double check 😅
I love watching these keyboard videos knowing that I need an actually keycap set for my cheap e-yooso keyboard that was a hand-me down from my brother which he only gave me the bare bones of the keyboard. The switches are probably the second thing I need since I did lube the red switches that originally came with the keyboard. well at least I lubed most of them.
I'm trying with what I have 😭
me with 50 dollar keyboard crying in the corner and still praying to get hot swap keyboard to mod it lol . sick build man didn't see anyone to make it sound this creamy
great video man! I just bought the same Tofu60 Redux with the brass weight, and bought my first set of keycaps! can't wait for my stuff to come in. mine will look super similar to yours, but I bought "retro" looking keycaps :D can I ask, at 8:31 you state you don't think you need the stand off screws; can I ask, just how many screws did u actually use to screw in the PCB? I think u forgot to tell us after saying "we'll find out in a second" haha. I heard not screwing some parts of a PCB allow it to sound better i guess? something about flex?
I used only one of the pegs on the bottom. But I used every screw. I’d rather not have flex on the Wooting since I don’t want to risk messing up the magnetic switches.
it becomes a custom keyboard the moment you put creative intention into it !!!
from my perspective this looks like a custom board? all you kept was the pcb lol
When you get the Redux case from tofu there is an option for the FR4 ANSI Plate and Carbon fiber ANSI Plate for the wooting 60 compatibility. Do you need them and which one would you recommend?
Brilliant build, preparing to do the same swap, great video... subbed! So are only certain switches able to benefit from the precision intended for the analog feature of the wooting!?
yes only certain switches, as the pcb detects the switch with magnets, and most switches don't have magnets in them
@@mungoprus-shearer1624 Thanks for the reply, I was given Gateron KS-20 Oranges and I have L45s now. About to build, cheers!
Do you think it sounds better with or without the foam? I'm currently using a tofu 60 redux with the brass weight and lubed switches and stabilizers, I quite like the sound of it but wasn't sure if the foam added or took away from the sound.
I like it with the foam from the Wooting case. Without foam it sounds too metallic and hollow.
use the rubber sheet from redux kit, sounds great
this angle makes me feel like im about to fall
maan im having so much trouble putting in the screws, any tips. Also did you install the standoffs to the left and right side?
Hi! Thanks for the amazing vid. How do you know that tofu 60 redux's case will fit with your keyboard? I have a local 60% keyboard, and i'm not sure if tofu 60 redux will fit. As in, the layout is completely the same, but how about the screws and stuff?
Wooting made it so that most cases will fit
You’ll have to check with your PCB manufacturer to see if it’s a universal 60% PCB and which cases it supports. If it’s a Wooting PCB it will be compatible with the Tofu Redux.
My endgame keyboard arrives mid august HOLY MOLY!
6:45 - you put those on the inside of the redux case, on those sticky outty bits around the inside perimeter, so that the pcb rests on the rubber soft pads instead of the alu redux case
TIL that there are other switch options for the wooting.
Still waiting for a TKL or might get the Drunk Deer A75
Hey man great video! Going for almost the same build. I thought the switches from badseeds video were the new lekkers 45 from wooting? Not the gatherons which kbd offers. Am I wrong?
No, if you're referring to this video: czcams.com/video/jLhoW5R21_g/video.htmlsi=oTHziq74pBOS6hn0 it's the Gateron oranges from KBD.
I got a PC plate with my tofu60 redux, it hardly makes any difference. I still decided to keep it installed, but, was disappointed.
I went with the burgundy red case, GMK Pixel keycaps. I decided against swapping to the new Gat HE switches.
It plays phenomenally, it doesn't have to sound like a creamy cloud pop for a buttery typing experience. Great video
Really? I was considering getting a PC plate since some people said it sounded better but I don't want to go through all that work if it isn't better. I also have the burgundy tofu case, gmk red samurai keycaps, and gateron jade switches. Also do you think the tape mod would improve the sound? I haven't tried it
@RealKyurem I prefer the PC plate sound signature, but the tape mod sounded a bit too poppy for my liking, so I went without it.
I love this keyboard!
I can't wait for my Wooting 80HE to arrive, but I'll have to wait for a nice case to release
The Gatoron Jades make it sound way better
it definitely isnt great, but its better than stock wooting lol. luckily i never got the wooting so if i decide i want one, then i get to just get it with its new 60HE+ version, with the PC plate and crew on stabs and such. i dont know if i care enough about the hall effect to get one, since i am not competitive by any means, but the option is enticing as a keyboard collector :3
hey Jaeky, could you possibly send me a link to those keycaps in your keyboard please? I appreciate the video and plan to do the same thing to my wooting that came today. Overall, thanks for inspiring me!
epic outcome
Rapid trigger changed my life ngl
I think you should've tapemod it its pretty easy to do and if you want the stabilizers to sound even better then you can bandaid mod but thats long to do
If I did this, I would just swap the case and keycaps lol. I do not have the patience for all that
I think a reason why Wooting sounds kinda mute because the plate, if you can find a universal 60% alumium or PC plate it should sound better. Anyway it's very high effort video, I like it
It's the way the switch is constructed. Every HE board has a noticeable thud during the bottom out. It's in a similar vein to Topre. They have a distinct sound that's either annoying or amazing.
@@J7T800 not really, the new AKKO MOD 007B-HE with Akko Cream Yellow Magnetic switches sound about 3x better than the Wooting's. Aluminum chassis and like you said, the way the switches were constructed matter.
why did you change for the KS20's orange? The normal lekker's were not good enough? I mean, you could have lubed the lekkers ...
I actually got the white's, but really wanted to understand your reasons for the orange's because they are very similar to the "normal" lekker's
He said why in the video. Bought them because he didn't want to lube every lekker. Honestly don't blame him either
i’m not really a genius with keyboards but don’t you lose the speed of the switch when you swapped to the orange switches? or do you still keep the speed of the wooting
You don't lose the speed of the switch when you swap to the Gateron orange switches. This is because the Gateron orange switches are the same as the Wooting Lekker switches in that they are both magnetic and work with the hall effect. Therefore, rapid trigger and everything else is the same.
ohh ty for lmk
I’ve talked with one of the wooting people and apparently the bottom and stem mold is slightly different resulting in a worse bottom out/near bottomout feeling
does this camera angle make anyone else uncomfortable or is it just me
are they keycapes good? cause im trying to upgrade my apex pro mini.
Nice!
yo, the new wooting gonna be 10x faster
Is there a new wooting that’s better?
Does RGB shine through the keycaps and show the inside of the spacebar, f and j keys etc? I have a GMK set of keycaps on this boad and the bleed from backlight RGB is horrible. I can see the stems and molding beneath the keycap and it does not happen with all white keycaps, namely GMK.
I think you were supposed to install the gasket o-rings on the standoffs before installing the pcb
sick
Orange cats are the best.
Never thought I’d see the day where a tofu60 is considered endgame
Endgame for me :) I'm not a keyboard enthusiast. Just a competitive gamer who wanted a better looking Wooting.
Can you buy the wooting 60 without the switches and keycaps so basically a diy kit?
with the custom case should i get the compatible plate for the wooting 60he option and if so which one?
Do those new orange switches come lubed out the box? Or is that an add on price wise
Yes, they are factory lubed.
Hey Jaeky, I've made the exact same config as you did to my wooting but some of my stabilisers feel too heavy after releasing. Do you feel the same too?
No, mine feel fine. You might have overlubed your stabs.
@@Jaeky I didn't lube them so maybe it's overlubed from factory then. Thanks!
Hey, i hope someone will see this but, i have an atk68, not a "cheap" keyboard but not as good as the wooting, would it be good to mod it or should i just buy an wooting to mod it later? Will it makes any difference since it will be a moded keyboard in both case ?
I'm just curious because I have heard people mention installing the switches south facing, does it matter if you install them regularly or is it just for aesthetics? Just not sure why this distinction is made.
Switches can only go in one way on a hotswap board, so they will either have to go north/normal or they will be south facing which you wont find too many that are south facing.
@xbrunnx i think you are incorrect bro. I saw a couple videos that advised that you can put your switches south facing and it will be fine, however you won’t have the LEDs work if you do so.
finally a clean looking mod bro. ive watched so many other people's modded wootings and they always do the most fucking dumb case swap/keycap color combinations and they always look like shit 💀but yours is mad fucking clean
They all do the same case though, idk which ones you’ve been watching
@@Leston505 this guy gotta be ai generated 💀
@@gilydoesallmost wooting case-swap videos use tofu cases
by changing the switches do you still get to keep the features of the wooting like rapid trigger and adjustable actuation???
Read pinned comment
Wow cool keybkard
Well, Wooting just released a standalone module which fits with standard 60 cases lol. So no more modding needed
I would do this if they made a tkl
seems like it might sound better, but probably won't have that 0.1 millisecond response time.
do you want a better switch puller
7:57 they give you 1 extra screw in case you lost one or one of them is damaged
How come you use the standoff for the space bar?
I told myself i wouldnt mod my wooting and then i go ahead and lube everything get custom keycaps and a new keychain and i dont regret it
does using another magnet switch affect the rapid trigger of this keyboard function?
No, although some say the Gateron oranges limit the rapid trigger to 0.4mm
Use a deskmet bro !
camera angle hurts my brain.
at this point its not even a wooting lol but great vid i love the video
Surely if you use different switches it won’t have a 0.1mm actuation point
Are these key caps double shot?
Isn’t the only thing from the wooting here just the pcb? Does it have to be a wooting pcb use the rapid trigger switches?
Yes, and you need to have magnetic switches
those gats over l45s?
I would buy the wooting so quick if it sounded good
At what point does this stop becoming a Wooting, and just become a Custom? Every part was replaced except the PCB
imo as long as the PCB isn’t replaced and you’re using Hall effect switches then it’s still a Wooting since the whole point of the Wooting is the performance benefits of rapid trigger and custom action which only require the PCB and switches.
🎉
How do you do with the keyboard in osu
what keycaps are those?
Does the new case front height bother you?
No, it hasn't been an issue for me.
what are the keycaps ?
random question what desk / colour tabletop is that? thanks
Black wood.
Are you sure its actually your Endgame Keyboard? I mean if you get more and more into the Keyboard hobby, i think you will see, that there are maybe a lot more Keyboard Builds that may fully satisfy your preferation. I mean just looking at the Keychron Q1 HE, which is not even close to a endgame keyboard, i feel like, it`s the "custom" or even better version of the Wooting 60HE
Q1 HE is a 75% keyboard so much bigger. I have both and use the Q1 for typing and the 60HE for gaming. The Q1 is miles ahead in terms of quality and feel though.
a lot better, but feel like still sounds like keyboard from 2013 2014, like barely starting getting good.maybe it is personally preference, but still sounds very "blocky" and not crispy enough for me.
tbh much better than mine and im not hating but i wouldnt even consider that a wooting anymore lol
do all keycaps support wooting switches?
no
bruh i have the same switch puller and my fingers were absolutely fucked. the switches on the wooting are so fucking tight in the plate. destroyed half the clips on my L60's. but i swapped to the 45's anyway. lubed every single one too because they sounded like shit still. shit took like 6 hours to fully mod my board.
If you get new switch is that still have rapid trigger or not
Read the pinned comment.
@@Jaekydang bro why is so long😅
Bro it doesn’t work with other seitches
Keycaps?
i wonder did he get the Switches from wooting or gateron themselves? (i mean the new ones he put in)
The switches are purchased from kbdfans, you can check it as an option when buying the Tofu60 Redux. The switches are made by Gateron (who also makes the lekker switches for Wooting) and they're specifically magnetic made for the Wooting keyboard so no worries about compatibility issues with the hall effect!
Wooting sells their own lekker switches, L60's and L45's. Gateron sells their KS-20, white and orange. KBDFANS have their option of adding the KS-20 oranges with the tofu redux.
Keep In mind, both the lekkers and KS-20 have the same material parts, the only difference between all of them are the spring weight.
@@Jaeky thank you for the reply
@@TuanTX thank you as well for the reply and the extra info
That spacebar needs work
dont u completely lose the advantage wooting has by taking the lekker switches out?
it does look and sound rlly good tho
Read the pinned comment.
Sick! Great vid also!
I mean can you actually feel the millisecond difference of activating and deactivating switches between a normal keyboard and a rapid trigger one... Most pros still use normal keyboards and play fine with it, I feel like rapid trigger is just a gimmick and not something necessary to compete at the highest level.
why did you remove the lecker switch, I thought the switch is what makes it fast?
its the tech in hall effect pcbs that make it fast, the switches only change the feel when typing
oh okay@@TomIsMul7i
you did fully custom board, theres nothing left from wooting
that's what I was saying LOL
All the features of the analog switch such as customizable actuation and rapid trigger still work so that’s really all that matters.
Whats the different with north vs south facing switches?
it's north vs south facing sockets. you typically want south because it has less compatibility issues with all switches and shinethrough
@@driftboardyou want south facing switches because you wont run into keycap interference with lower profiles like cherry
why would u change the switches thats like the whole point of the keyboard
Read the pinned comment.
@@Jaeky i did not know that thanks for the information
lube those stabs please
how come you didnt get the lekker45 switches?
Didn't want to order separately from the Wooting website since it would cost more for shipping. I went with the Gateron oranges just cause I was already buying the Redux from kbdfans so it would all ship together.
@@Jaeky ah fair enough man i just checked other comments before and saw that gateron make the lekker switches anyway
bro just get a new keyboard at that point 😭😭
is this still your main?
Yes
