Little design decisions even down to the USB port screwdown area and the removable standoffs shows that they really paid attention to the right details for this. They seem to really have an ear to the ground on the community lately and its appreciated. I think when i inevitably pick up a wooting, i'll probably go with the tofu redux option. I was always concerned that I would hate the sound too much to use it after having customs for so long but this is much closer to something I could daily - might be time to pull the trigger. Also that mental health gray out section got the stupidest fucking laugh out of me.
That stock foam sounds great to me! either way, amazing mods! 12/10 The only (initial) problems of the wooting for me was the plastic look and sound and now it's great! :D (Love the humor also) hahah Great video!
Great to see that not only vendors, but Wooting itself is open for some modding on the keyboard. Slapping a more forgiving plate (as FR4 or PC) plus a softer tray-mount like case (Salvation) will bring the tyoing experience and sound to a more consistent and endgame-like that might rival some premium boards. This is exciting to see :)
I haven’t experimented with any aftermarket plates yet - mostly because I know what a challenge its been for Wooting to offer them and not impact the functionality of the board in any way. But there’s some exciting stuff coming from them very shortly 👀
@@badseedtech are you allowed to say how soon that is? I’ve been meaning to get one but would want to hold off until I can see how everything feels/sounds :)
I looked long and hard for [anything like] this video before I ordered the redux alongside my wooting 3 weeks ago... so when you posted this I just had to cross my fingers and hope I got it right. Super excited that gamble paid off! I just received my SMKeyboards polycarb plate for the Wooting, so I'm stoked to put it all together when the board and case arrive in a couple weeks! Thanks for all the insight!
Switches are the biggest gripe for me and the sound on the lekker switches are the biggest set back for me. Already have my wooting sitting in a Fjell so will just be picking up those new switches. Thanks for putting us on
i bought i tofu60 v1 off r/mechmarket a week before they dropped the redux. obviously i still bought the redux... but wtf... followed your first video for building last time so this video is awesome to see.
Great video as always, super informative and interesting I have been waiting for another mod video for this BEAST of a keyboard, definitely will be picking up one of these!
Thanks for the review as I have both the case and switches in my cart but, I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I think now I'll just get the case and brass weight. Excellent review as always!
Great video BadSeed, I gotta say I really liked the part where you slow-mo'd the pull apart from the two foams. I just did a custom Wooting 60he build for me brother, I spray painted the mounting plate black, installed some sound damp mods, hand lubed lekron switches (took about 1.3hrs), custom tag on default case and got black transparent keys with japanese characters. Incredible build and my first time doing a custom keyb. Your videos have 100% helped with getting this present to my brother, I cannot wait for reaction
Someone finally covered the Gateron KS-20s! Have the white KS-20s on hand (supposed to be a little lighter than the orange) and am just waiting on the chassis (decided on the Freebird60) before sitting down to hand lube them. Great content as always, appreciate the Wooting mod vids!
KBDFans now sells 3 plate options compatible with the wooting FR4 ANSI Plate (with switch pad) Carbon fiber ANSI Plate (with switch pad) POM ANSI Plate (with switch pad) Which one would be recommended?
I put the new L45s on my main gaming keys and left the l60s for general use and you really can tell a difference with the l45s they do feel noticeably lighter. Personally I'm going for that wooting case it looks great.
I also bought L45 expecting them to be lighter but they are exactly the same as L60 with 50g spring and the new switches have smoothness issues so I just kept using my old 50g spring swapped L60. But yeah if you didn't get the springs when they were selling them I guess that's the only way to get lighter springs now. I would still spring swap it and keep using the old L60
Ik this is 2 months old, but you use the standard screws. You might have to push down just a bit to compress the orings, but the burger mount is for better isolation of sound to to dampen the "harshness."
It's so nice to see something like this happen, instead of vendors always fighting each other and trying to use proprietary specs. I don't play anything that needs the tech and I need at least 65%, so it's not for me, but this is nice to see.
You can pretty much turn the 60HE into a 65% or 75% using its mod tap function. It very powerful, allowing you access essential keys without having to access an Fn layer. I was also on the fence since I'm a coder but after using it for the past few months It's pretty much my daily driver. But if you really need a numpad, then I guess anything less than 100% is not for you. Or you could get one of those external numpads that are all the rage these days.
@@Laughing_Individual I did look into mod tap but it's really not for me. I am a translator and a lot of the times I'm not typing as fast, because I'm thinking along as I type, so I have very bad typing habits, like pressing shift for a capital and holding it as I pause to think twice about the word I was going to type, then type the key or let go on the shift as I decide against it, or I simply end up tapping the shift as I immediately decide against the word. Mod tap would wreck havoc for me. Also I don't use the numpad. I go for 65/75% because I often sit back to read stuff, be it a client's long-winded instructions or just pre-reading the content I'm going to translate, and I want that easy-going one-key PgUp/PgDn/Arrows. This is also why I don't use any 65/75% with blockers or screens that take away the keys. When I get the occasional job where I have to press a lot of shortcuts in the navigation cluster, I pull out my TKL. But really ultimately I don't need the technology of the Wooting 60HE because I don't play the type of games where it matters. So there's very little reason for me to go to lenghs to make it work for me.
With the custom keyboard scene slowing down, I think there's definitely a market for the Wooting60HE; with the addition of POM plates. But ultimately the star of the show is the keyboard itself, it's virtually flawless when it comes to performance IMO Great video!
@@ellowell8160 An abundance of GMK keycaps sitting on shelves for starters. The Discord servers I'm in are littered with keyboards for sale, with most of them unbuilt.
Having finally gotten my board in hand I think it's just hard to make these switches sound good since there is a giant hole in the bottom housing of each one for the magnet. Ultimately I hope that Gateron is able to refine the design of these so that the bottom out and upstroke of the switches doesn't sound so bad.
Wait so the center standoff is removable? Does it leave the surface completely flat so that you could fit a 3.5mm battery in that weight block space instead? I want to use a 114x43x3.5mm battery
Newbie question here. Is all the cool tech of the Wooting 60HE in the board? You can replace the switches and still get all the benefits/control of the actuation point?
Just got my Tofu 60 Redux ( in ano Red ), and am waiting for my Wooting60HE. Their ( Wooting ) Aluminum case is now live, and I also ordered a PC plate from them as well. And of course I had to use your affiliate links ✅
Hi I have a quick question. I'm eying on the Tofu 60 Redux red. But on the picture on KBDfans the red seems pretty dark. I definitely want it a bit darker red but is it really as dark as on the picture? Thanks!
if you use more lube, you can get the stock lekker switches to sound way nicer then both the orange gateron aftermarket switches and you can make the wooting sound creamy/thocky depending on if you use the included memory foam from wooting. my wooting genuinely sounds orgasmic
There is a reason why people measure front height from the top of the stem from the spacebar switch to the table, and that is because theoretically speaking of course, I can technically make a 0mm front height board if I just remove the front wall from my design, however that doesn't change the typing position in any way.
Now im split if i wanna get the Orange switches or the new stock 45's from wooting, but that Redux case with the brassweight is absolute GAS sound that i'm getting
Removable standoffs are awesome. Now we just need the 65 version too. I like the old weight though that you can see if for whatever reason you flip your keeb. Same goes for the wooting, wouldn't mind seeing a more pc user focused version of it that has arrow keys at least ;D
god bless you, Brian. even though i'm broke af and probably won't be buying any of these keyboard you review, but i always enjoy the reviews and your jokes/puns. tbh the jokes are the highlights of your videos.
wait so the new Lekkers are just as good as the orange gaterons? Because I would like the perfect RGB but the performance and sound of the switch matter more to me
Love the video! I can't wait to get this case for my wooting. Also I see that Pwnage Stormbreaker on your desk. Any chance we're getting a review of that mouse? 👀
Just ordered a wooting 60he+ with 2 keycap sets, tofu60 redux with the brass weight and Raptor switches. What power cable are you using? I’m not a fan of the black and yellow it comes with.
Love the keyboard. Made it seriously easy to hit those sexy superglide in Apex. I already got a case from mekanisk but I don't know if getting a new case is worth it?
You should do a test between a Laptop keyboard and the Wooting keyboard on the energy require to push down a button. I feel i still hate how bulky and heavy the key caps are on any standard keyboard vs a laptop keyboard. @BadSeed Tech
Is it normal to want a new keyboard after getting your first custom one in six months or so? I haven't been too happy with my Keychron ever since I got it and been thinking of selling it.
What are those keycaps? I feel like they would match the new Meteor Grey e-coating option they have, that I want to get... Edit: Nvm, I see them labeled near the end. Thanks
newer runs of lekker switches have an issue with smoothness when pressed off-center (multiple people reported this on the wooting discord) there is a video on my channel showing it, this comment is not an ad, it's just so people know about it and can report it too so hopefully they fix the switches to be smooth as they used to be.
Wooting is making their own aluminum (or aluminium if you're fancy) case. It does have a gamery look and the hook for the strap is also there. I think they said on their Discord that if all goes well, it will be released sometime this September.

Same here!
i bought i tofu60 v1 off r/mechmarket a week before they dropped the redux. obviously i still bought the redux... but wtf...
followed your first video for building last time so this video is awesome to see.
officially built into the new redux! is it just me or is the typing angle feel a little different.. either angle or case height i cant tell

interesting that gateron are making lekker switches for retail, hopefully this means we get more boards that support them in the future
I'm gonna assume that most GB keyboards won't be implementing a PCB that supports hall effect switches. It's a pretty niche requirement after all.
the switches are the simple part, any1 could make them. pcb is the thing that matters
I love that your jokes are very subtle! Keep em up! Like this Di......
Wooting l45 review?
I love that artisan keycap. I'm sure I missed whatever sale that was a part of.
Got my first wooting ordered and it's set to be here late August to early September. Can't wait!
I ordered that exact case/keycap combo just the other day. Super excited for it all to get here
i prefer blank black keycaps for switching between qwerty and dvorak + white rgb at 70% brightness on the wooting
This should go without saying but these new switches will work with rapid trigger, right?
I put the new L45s on my main gaming keys and left the l60s for general use and you really can tell a difference with the l45s they do feel noticeably lighter. Personally I'm going for that wooting case it looks great.

which would you prefer, Tofu redux or the Wooting Alumaze? looking forward for more wooting 60he+ mod
As far as the burger mount is concerned, do you need longer screws or do the standard ones work just fine?

Excellent work as always, Mr. SeedTech🗿
What keycaps are those
What the name of the esc keycap?
whats the keycaps??????
3:00 sent me to a different dimension 😂😂😂
Where did you get the escape key?
NZ Caps - that one is sold out but they're always dropping great stuff.
Would love to see a modding video for the Wooting Two HE since I'm a full size lover and not a fan of the plastic housing
Newbie question here. Is all the cool tech of the Wooting 60HE in the board? You can replace the switches and still get all the benefits/control of the actuation point?
should I get the new Alumaze over this? what is the general consensus on this since im thinking of buying a metal case
what keycaps are those grey ones?
Too bad you can't get those BOG keycaps anymore. They look real good with the gold piece on the escape key. Cleanest looking wooting.

Nice video! Could you link the grey keycaps with black font that you are using? Thanks!
please can anyone tell me about the keycaps used in this keyboard
I just swapped to the kbd case, I used the thin kbd foam and the wooting foam. is this too much?

is the redux for the wooting only ??

Literally just built mine in the glass Baldr60 case!

god bless you, Brian. even though i'm broke af and probably won't be buying any of these keyboard you review, but i always enjoy the reviews and your jokes/puns. tbh the jokes are the highlights of your videos.

I heard the wooting aluminum case isn't that good, and I dont like the look of it either.
what size was WOOTING WRIST REST was suitable for Tofu60 Redux Case
I got the new redux. It came wonky. As in when I lay it on a flat surface it wobbles. yay.
Does the brass weight affect sound at all?
Is this case just for the wootinh or could i use my ducky 3mini for it?
Just ordered a wooting 60he+ with 2 keycap sets, tofu60 redux with the brass weight and Raptor switches. What power cable are you using? I’m not a fan of the black and yellow it comes with.
do the springs feel better? and could you put the orange springs in the OG lekkers? I might just by them for the springs.
Now that wooting has their own "Alumaze" Case, would you recommend that over the Tofu Redux?
Now if only they made a 75% keyboard. I'd be all over it then because It's the perfect size/layout for me.
Too late....wooting now have there own alu case !
I should probably do a video on it…oh wait…ruclips.net/video/4bvLyb2HhrU/видео.htmlsi=qM-JK9KnmI_3nq84
Its been 2 months since i ordered the acrylic tofu60 redux case from kbdfans. They still haven’t shipped it.
would you say the brass weight is 100% necessary? or is just to make the board heftier. another great video!
Love the keyboard. Made it seriously easy to hit those sexy superglide in Apex. I already got a case from mekanisk but I don't know if getting a new case is worth it?
Any chances they change the ano on the black tofu redux, and I wish I ordered the weight
For me V1 it's more beauty and best construction. And... Design
What are those keycaps from the thumbnails
You should do a test between a Laptop keyboard and the Wooting keyboard on the energy require to push down a button. I feel i still hate how bulky and heavy the key caps are on any standard keyboard vs a laptop keyboard. @BadSeed Tech
Is it normal to want a new keyboard after getting your first custom one in six months or so? I haven't been too happy with my Keychron ever since I got it and been thinking of selling it.
Would you not recommend using a custom cable with the wooting?
Hey Brian, can you link us the Zip n Fit you use?
Is linked already, no?
It was and i missed it, my bad!@@badseedtech
Just threw my wooting in a klippe t but those new colors are making me want to grab one of these anyway.

Edit: Nvm, I see them labeled near the end. Thanks
Is it me or wooting should make a 75%?
Barely hanging on, like the person on the hood of my car right now LMAO
just curious, what mousepad is he using here?
Wooting is going to produce a proprietary aluminium case?
Still waiting for a 65% wooting, I hope they make it one day, preferably the layout with 67 keys and a blocker
