Experienced Wooting modder here! I will give you the best mods so you dont have to look for it :) (Hope this gets pinned for the community, as personally I have did many sound tests and nearly 1k to test out different mods for the Wooting, whereby their hall effect switches sound dogshit) Free Mods: - Removing of PCB Foam (Increases Loudness) Cheap Mods: - Tempest Mod - Blue Painter's Tape (Increases Loudness, Adds Little Poppy Sound Profile) - Polyfill (Instead of Case Foam, Sounds Amazing) - Gummy O-Ring Friction Mount (Bakaneko60 or Graveshift M 30a-50a) - TX AP Stabilizers (Best stabilizer change you can get in the market) - Lubing Switches (Krytox GPL205g0 for Stem and Housing, GPL105 for Springs - for springs see bag lubing) - PC Plate for Thock, Aluminium Plate for Clack, but im odd so i love FR4 - it looks amazing :3 Moderate Mods: ONE OF THE CLEAR WINNERS FOR BETTER SOUND - Switch Swapping ( If you care about the sound, I suggest Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches) Expensive Mods: - Case Swapping (If you are getting the Tofu Redux, I suggest to buy the brass weight together with it) - Quality Keycap Swapping (see www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/) Useless Mods (IMO): - Switch Films (they barely do jackshit on the lekkers and are a complete waste of time) Side Note: I honestly wouldn't bother lubing Wooting Stock L60 or L45 switches. They really sound horrible and no good lube job is going to fix it. Just get the Gateron Magnetic Jade switches fr. and why not Burger O-ring you might ask? Yeah, I have tried it out and had the most frustrating 30 minutes of my life trying to screw the burger mounted o-ring into it's hole and i have only encountered problems. Over-tightening of o-rings, O-rings breaking, Inflexible if you are a frequent modder, Exhibits inconsistent typing sound compared to the gummy o-ring friction mount. edit (3 may), swapped to the magnetic jades, sounds really great and probably one of the most worth it purchases.
thanks for the thorough advice! def wanna try the magnetic jade switches next. I think it also all comes down to preference, I personally prefer the PCB foam included, filming, and lubing the lekker switches
the pcb foam indeed comes down to personal preference, its been a 50/50 for it most of the time! maybe i was overcritical on the lekkers, but i guess it does make the lekekrs sound a tad bit better~ as for the films, personally i dont see much effect using it soo yeah, but in the end up to personal preference:) if you love something go for it! when it comes down to keyboard modding, there's never no this or no that, it all depends on your preference of sound profile! after all we humans, our skulls are all built uniquely, and thus process sound differently:D
im so happy to see a keyboard enthusiast do their thing with a wooting considering its the best gaming keyboard by far and a lot of gamers arent into the keyboard hobby. fingers crossed they make a 65% eventually so I can get one
have you heard of wooting mod tap? it can replace the right modifier keys with arrow keys and make u be able to still use the mod keys when holding the key down
This video changed my life. If I were the RUclips algorithm, I would definitely recommend that every person with a RUclips account watch this video as soon as possible!
This is literally the best mod with the best sound I've ever seen, the sound is very similar to my built which all components were from the Wooting store except I didn't use tape and switch foams. I like when your mom comes in and says "oh you're recording", very typical Asian moms haha
By far the best sounding HE keyboard The mushy shift though is likely due to overlubing the stem of the stabilizer, I made the same mistake on my drunkdeer a75 when lubing it (in fact I overlubed all the switches XD)
the algorithm blessed me with this one especially considering the fact that i’m ordering the wooting soon. i might even go for the magnetic jade switches too. thank you 🙏🏾
that is a whole lotta difference. It will never sound as good as a good custom keyboard. But you did a damn good job. Very cool to see a esports performance keyboard getting soundoptimized like this. Would love to mod my speed silver switches (my performance keyboard) now.
haven't gotten around to modding mine yet lmao its been sitting stock for the past few months, this lowkey inspired me to start lol, oh and i like ur music taste.
One thing people don't understand is that the Wooting 60HE is definitely not made to be the best sounding keyboard. It's literally made for gaming performance. Yeah it may not sound the best but it's one of if not the best gaming keyboard available right now. I consider myself an extremely competitive player and I would trade performance over quality/sound any day. Hopefully one day we can have the best of both worlds.
With the new 60he+ module adding screw in stabs and pairing with some aftermarket HE switches and a case you can honestly do both now. My wooting sounds super marbley and poppy with the WS dashes. The main sound problem was the terrible plate tolerances for the stabs and switches, as well as the lekkers being open bottom leaving them sounding empty and soulless.
@@ridiak3637 yeah I have the 60HE+ as well. Without any aftermarket parts I fuckin loved the sound straight out the box. Granted I bought the lube kit and 45g Lekker switches so it's sounds a bit different, but straight out of the box no mods it sounded amazing. Truly pioneers of the keyboard industry.
Hey, could you do a tutorial for these mods? I couldnt see from that far away what you were lubing, what the pads were and what the tape mod does. All i know that i sounds very good :)
thank you and def try modding your wooting! you could try just tape mod + lubing switches and stabilizers, it makes a significant difference with little risk in my opinion (and tbh there is little risk with modding keyboards in general, can’t really damage the PCB or switches)
Thank you! I used to stream on twitch ( twitch.tv/Wilyz ) and RUclips but haven’t recently because of time and school 😭. might try it again sometime though!
@@Skibidi-m2z3b i'd say if you don't know the home row method of typing already, then def try to learn that! it'll get you to 80 - 100 WPM range. it takes some mental effort to relearn how to type but it's worth. then from there it's all about muscle memory and just typing more
I followed wooting's advise on how to remove the switch easily. You can unscrew and remove the PCB first, the switch and plate should easily be removed.
Thank you for this well thought out video Shelby Yang! I have my Wooting ordered myself, should be here late January. This video was evidentially well researched, and you can tell! Wonderful piece of work. Keep it up! Looking forward to future videos (I have just subscribed)! Also such a sweet and pleasant voice to listen to accompanied by the music! Hope you had a great Christmas.
lol i love how you're just singing away the whole time. Your voice is nice! That build actually turned out sick. I dig it. What kinda WPM do you average? I see those hands zoomin' away lol Also- i think your right shift key stabs are a touch overlubed. Looked like it returned quite slow. Could be just the video though! edit- i typed this before finishing the video lmao Earned a sub!
Sounds definitely better than stock but compared to a mechanical keyboard it sounds more like a budget sub $30 stock keyboard. I really hope that newer magnetic switches will sound more like mechanical switches.
Check out Woque Studio's "3.1 Black Glitter" stabs, they're decent outta the box but awesome after some modding - the selling point being? They have built-in "Holee" mod, semi thick red rubber inserts for the wire
Does this mod make it seem quieter? I realllly want a silent wooting, thinking of using thin o-ring on keycaps and a mod like what you have done here with tape and foam and better case to help deaden all of the sound
Hey im really new to this modding stuff. Do you mind sending the specific holee mod video you used to holee mod for the wooting, if not can you recommend one. Also around 10 minutes when you added the switch pads did you reuse the wooting PCBfoam aswell? Sorry for the dumb questions and thank you in advance!
Hi! These are very good questions no worries. I used this video ruclips.net/video/-vhpHjlkRgQ/видео.htmlsi=deXgVO7TH99UCna1 for my holee mod and I used both the switch pads and wooting PCB foam. Best of luck with modding!
@@shelbyyang another good choice are the Geon RaptorHE but with the stem from the lekker switches. I saw a video about that and it removed nearly all of the stem and spring rattle. With the other mods you did here i think it would sound amazing! You did a great job here. I will follow your mods if you dont mind :)
this was modded and filmed before other Hall effect compatible switches were created 💔 I ordered some new switches to try out though and will probs make a video about them
imagine how many more custom keyboards you would have if you didn’t spend thousands of dollars on valorant skins 8:50 found the 1 monthly swiper listener 🙏
i am happy i just got into PCs and keybords and i just buaght a keybord that has ttc gold pink switches are they any good also the keybord i buaght sadly there isnt much info on
Is it possible to get a thocky wooting as someone with no experience nor much desire to switch out each switch, get a new case and basically the majority of things you did 😭
What a fantastic job you did!
Thank you!

Free Mods:
- Removing of PCB Foam (Increases Loudness)
Cheap Mods:
- Tempest Mod - Blue Painter's Tape (Increases Loudness, Adds Little Poppy Sound Profile)
- Polyfill (Instead of Case Foam, Sounds Amazing)
- Gummy O-Ring Friction Mount (Bakaneko60 or Graveshift M 30a-50a)
- TX AP Stabilizers (Best stabilizer change you can get in the market)
- Lubing Switches (Krytox GPL205g0 for Stem and Housing, GPL105 for Springs - for springs see bag lubing)
- PC Plate for Thock, Aluminium Plate for Clack, but im odd so i love FR4 - it looks amazing :3
Moderate Mods:
ONE OF THE CLEAR WINNERS FOR BETTER SOUND
- Switch Swapping ( If you care about the sound, I suggest Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches)
Expensive Mods:
- Case Swapping (If you are getting the Tofu Redux, I suggest to buy the brass weight together with it)
- Quality Keycap Swapping (see www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/)
Useless Mods (IMO):
- Switch Films (they barely do jackshit on the lekkers and are a complete waste of time)
Side Note: I honestly wouldn't bother lubing Wooting Stock L60 or L45 switches. They really sound horrible and no good lube job is going to fix it.

+1 to swapping over to Gateron Magnetic Jade switches
@@Yuwunahhh oh rip I already ordered them from gateron 😭💔 thanks for the notice tho!
Fascinating to be able to see and appreciate the time and care and energy put into this. Also sick intro tune!
thanks! a friend showed me the tune
im so happy to see a keyboard enthusiast do their thing with a wooting considering its the best gaming keyboard by far and a lot of gamers arent into the keyboard hobby. fingers crossed they make a 65% eventually so I can get one
yes a 65% would be awesome, need my arrow keys
they have an 80% coming out if y’all are interested. it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing layout but it’s now an option
have you heard of wooting mod tap? it can replace the right modifier keys with arrow keys and make u be able to still use the mod keys when holding the key down
@@grayphobe ooh yeah I saw the 80HE. 80% is too much for me though, don’t need the function keys, just want my arrow keys
@@aisflai8277 i have! I’d rather have physical arrow keys though 🤞
This is such a sick build! Subscribed lol
Thank you! 😁
The lubed and filmed switch really does sound way better, I didnt think i’d make that much of a difference
Looks and sounds awesome! I'm in love with the keycaps.
thank you! GMK maestro is quite pretty
Loved watching the whole in-depth process, totally worth it! I'd say it was so worth it, it sounds and looks amazing! Subscribed 🔥🔥
That looks really good and sounds reallyy good.
thank you! :)
This is such a good video 😭 the jazz, the knowledge, and the watching a tutorial in a tutorial, the singing its all so good. Deff earned my sub
Thank you so much for your comment! I’ll definitely try to keep this vibe going in my videos 🤞
Wow the best sounding wooting I’ve heard
thank you! 😄😄
i usually dont watch the whole video of people modding keyboard but now i did! i subbed as well :3
Thank you sm! 😁
amazing how you managed to make those switches sound good
LOL ty!
I ordered the wooting 60 he module a week ago and now I get to watch everyone's videos as I wait impatiently lol.
That spacebar sound, oh myyy chefs kiss 🤌🏼👩🏻🍳
thank you! 🫡
Love the set up Shelbs. The asmr is on point!

ok nvm i actually hated it. if i were the youtube algorithm i actually would NEVER show this to anyone EVER@@shelbyyang

LOL?
@@davidguan8774now thats more like it
singing while lubing the switches, that's a vibe
Thanks for this. Just purchased the new Wooting x Optimum build set and it's my first one im puttng together
that typing speed at the end caught me off guard hahahah
This is literally the best mod with the best sound I've ever seen, the sound is very similar to my built which all components were from the Wooting store except I didn't use tape and switch foams. I like when your mom comes in and says "oh you're recording", very typical Asian moms haha
LOL yeah my mom got a cameo, and thank you! Glad to hear you have a similar build
This is the best sounding wooting I heard
thank you!
Now I cannot wait for mine to arrive. Awesome vid.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the keyboard
Omg new shelby
i’m back baby
great music taste for a keyboard enthusiast 😂
That sounds really mean nothing against the keyboard community 😅
By far the best sounding HE keyboard
The mushy shift though is likely due to overlubing the stem of the stabilizer, I made the same mistake on my drunkdeer a75 when lubing it (in fact I overlubed all the switches XD)
thank you! yeah xht-bdz + holee mod = overkill
Nah. Raptor HE switches with the lekker stem sound far better.
Idk what I find more attractive, you or the keyboard 😍😍
the insanely fast typing caught me off guard
The hand to keyboard size comparison is crazy
from kinda hollow and plastic-y sounding to pure cream 🍦that space bar is goated
I recommend using the gateron magnetic jades for the wooting as there is less stem wobble and it gives a really clean and creamy sound
the algorithm blessed me with this one especially considering the fact that i’m ordering the wooting soon. i might even go for the magnetic jade switches too. thank you 🙏🏾
glad to hear! hope my video is helpful and i'm def gonna be trying out the magnetic jade switches :)

I feel like this is better mod take on wooting 60he than the hipyotech did.
Sick build! What was that song in the background?
Is this the next switch and click?
Awesome video
LOL thank you! She’s awesome
this is an amazing mod. by the way, was there any problem with actuation of switches after the holee mod?

thanks!
you really did well!
Were the switches somewhat pre-lubed? I hear that newer L60s and especially L45s they are prelubed from the factory.
i don't think so, this was filmed back in May 2023 and the keyboard was from an April batch
Thank you! @@shelbyyang
every time i hear the sound my brain goes AUGA
w wooting keyboard mod 🤤
Thank you!
First thing I noticed during the typing test was how god damn fast you are at typing!
I also bag lube the stems for linear switches
Great video, have you tested the plumber mod instead of holee mod? I did om my 60he and oh boy the difference it made
Come for the switches stay for the playlist

jade switch will hugely improve the sound. plus stabies stabs instead of durock
