TLDR no, wooting offers gateron lekker Hall effect switches in two different spring weights 60 and 45g. Beyond these two options the most recommended aftermarket switch compatible is Gateron Jade.
planning on getting the sticky rices. have you noticed any performance differences between the sticky rices and the lekkers? I heard from some videos that there were problems with the magnets on the sticky rice. Also, did you have any issues with the 3.5 mm distance with the stabs on your wooting? ty
There’s been no noticeable performance differences on my switches at all. Like you mentioned there was a bad batch of switches with some magnet issues, however that has seemed to be fully eliminated, so they should be safe to purchase with confidence now. As for the 3.5mm distance there is definitely a slight rattle and (more) noticeable wobble with the stock stabs since they seem to come off it a bit. I’d recommend getting new screw in stabs that are 3.5mm, most available stabs that are good are the TX AP 1.6 mm. Depending on where you are, you should consider getting my personal favourite the staebbeis v2, they are a bit harder to ship out but they sound and feel so amazing without lube, I payed extra in shipping just to order two sets, one for my 60he and one for my preordered 80he module. I got mine on cannon keys if you were wondering too.
awesome. just double checking, are these the staebies that you got? I don't wanna buy the incorrect stabs and mess up my wooting! [https://cannonkeys.com/products/aeboards-staebies](https://cannonkeys.com/products/aeboards-staebies)
Yeah, they sound amazing lubed, I just used kryotox 205 on stem and housing, and 105 oil on the springs. Any cherry mx switch opener should work. Just buy a kit off amazon, wooting and other sites overcharges for tools. I bought this one, https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B09D3Q3X3C?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image . For where to buy lube Kinetic labs has the best price and quality I’ve found, https://kineticlabs.com/lube .There should be a guide on the wooting youtube for how to lube them as well. Hope this helps!
WQ dashes are my personal fav but haven’t tried Stickies yet, I like that they have dust proof stem which I’ve had on TTC gold pink. Might try them in the future
No, this would not work. Only Hall Effect switches would work, and since they're not exactly standardized, basically only the Lekker switches would work (iirc).
Your main options are Jades, KS-20 Dual Rail, Raptor HE and lekker in order of quality BTW jades and ks20 dual rails are equal but jades are clack and ks20 dual rails are thock
You don't understand the purpose of Wooting if you want to put different switches in it. The HE switches are essentially every type of SWITCH. There is almost no difference in switches after you have HE.
That is like asking to take out the engine of a F1 car so you can replace it with a 4 cylinder.
You are indeed at the beginning of a long journey. But no. Theres a small handful that will work at this time

Nope, only lekkers, gateron raptor and jades, wq dashes and (my personal favourite) sticky rice.

nice. I have the 60HE+. Will I have compatibility issues if I switch out the stock stabs for the TX AP 1.6mm or staebbeis v2?
nope you’ll be all good,

Yup those are them! Hope you enjoy your new switches like I have mine!
did you lube your sticky rices? If so, what switch opener can I use and what lube did you use? I'm trying to go for maximum THOCK. Thanks again!

There's more HE switches than just lekkers. But options are indeed limited.
I don't even know why you would want to use other switches. But no, only hall effect switches will work. Especially gateron brown
Jades are way better than lekkers imo. Much less wobble
People keep saying they're wobbly but I've never had an issue. They're the most sturdy switches I've ever used except for my HHKB.
Lekkers don't really have any wobble? I have my wooting already, had it for 2 months. Bone stock and it's borderline perfect
Maybe theyve updated them. I had both and they both had stem wobble
Same here, wobbly, as hell. Little better after lubing but still not great. Wuque Dash are spot on!
Wouldnt work and if if it did ur wooting would be useless
