Short Breakdown of my 2025 Kilowatt build and then a detailed breakdown of my 2023 build below::

Kilowatt Keyboard Breakdown:

Pouring silicone mold into gh60 case for sound dampening

Currently, I’m using the Tofu 60 Redux (e-coating Orange).This case is much less deep than the aluminum GH60 from AliExpress that I previously used. This means a lot less room for sound dampening material. In my current build, I am just using the included foam that comes with the tofu redux.

To add a little custom flair to my keyboard case, I photoshopped and printed the Kilowatt case logo onto some acrylic sticker paper, for the front and back of the case.

Still using the same CableMod Pro Coiled Keyboard Cable (Midnight Black) .

The key caps are PBTFans white On black simple icon base set. Really enjoy how they feel and sound. Literally not a single complaint about these keycaps.

Recently, I swapped out the stock steel plate for a Wooting PC switch plate in black, which is made of plastic. It is much quieter than the steel plate and much softer on the fingers when bottoming out a keypress.

Also replaced my previously used o-ring with a Wooting friction fit pad hich also reduces much of the sound this keyboard makes.

Swapped out the original Jade switches for Gateron Magnetic Jade Pros. The Jade Pros have a bit of a bassier tone which I enjoyed more. The original Magnetic Jades, when lubed, ound very similar to unlubed Jade Pros. When you add lube to the Jade Pros they get a bit quieter and make much less high pitched noise. Overall I would say there is only a slight difference in sound but it makes about a 5-10% difference, which was enough for me to justify the poor financial decision of upgrading.

One day, I may try another silicone pour in my Tofu redux. But for now I am satisfied with this build, as it was time to switch things up and try something different after using the same build for a few years.

Sound Dampening:

Silicone Mold Kit | $10.99

Pouring silicone mold into gh60 case for sound dampening

Started with the Stock Wooting foam in the Aluminum GH60 case. It sounded okay, but there was still a lot of room left in the case, which caused some case ping. Personally had to change it out for something that fills more space in the GH60.

Here is a sound comparison between the Magnetic Jades and Lekker switches:

To start the silicone mold, I covered all holes in the GH60 case with masking tape, including standoffs. Stirred the silicone with a plastic fork, in a solo cup, for a little over 6 minutes. Left it to cure overnight for about 12 hours. I ended up going through with an exacto knife, to remove some extra material around the standoffs. So, it doesn't look as perfect as it was, when it finished curing but it sounds every bit of what I was hoping for.

It is quite hefty now too.

I got the idea for the silicone mold from this video on YouTube: How to Make a Tofu 60 Silicone Dampener | Serendipity

Cable:

CableMod Pro Coiled Keyboard Cable (Midnight Black) | $29.90

Custom Wooting 60HE with CableMode Cable running RGB at 8%

Tachyon mode seems to be working fine with this cable. I run my keyboard brightness pretty low at 8% though. You could probably run it a lot higher, I just prefer to run it low, so I can see the white pcb plate.

Switches:

Gateron Magnetic Jades | $56.00

I upgraded to the Gateron Magnetic Jade switches. Previously used hand lubed Lekker Switches with 50g springs From Wooting. The actuation force on the Magnetic Jades feel great. They also have a shorter travel distance which is awesome, especially while counter strafing in CS2, leaving less room for error.

Switch Lubing:

$34.99 | when purchased together Wooting Lubricant Set | Wooting Tool Kit

Wooting 60HE Spring Swap/Lubing with Wooting ToolKit and Lube Set

I went with both the Switch Lube Set and Toolkit from Wooting. Both worked great, no complaints.

Not exactly sure how long it took but I have a good estimate... My phone died right after I started, so I pulled out some vinyl records to listen to. Made it through a little over 4-5 albums before I was done, so you can probably estimate the time.

Photo from original Lekker switch lubing. I have since lubed the lekkers once more and the Magnetic Jades!

Case:

GH60 Aluminum Keyboard Case (Black) | $79.00

Really happy with this case for $80 and it adds a lot of weight to the keyboard.

Black Aluminum GH60 Case

If you plan on burger mounting with this case, get something like these...

Gummy O-Ring:

O-Ring | $7.00

White 185mm OD x 3.5mm CS Silicone 50A Duro - Suggested By BadSeed Tech

Keycaps:

PBTfans WOB | $84.00

Currently using PBTFans WOB Simple Base with the Crosshair Alpha Addon kit

Love this set, the extra red accent color really makes these caps stand out

Current photos on this site show YDMK Katakana Key caps on the edges which are a slight different shade of black compaired to the PBTFans keycaps. See the Sound Test for and updated look at the keyboard!
