🌟│wooting80he

[lapis dawn]

wooting should fix that idk if its fixable

[neat hatch]

I don't think it's every wooting 60he, it was just mine, I guess I got a bad one

Wooting prelubes their switches in a machine/factory, so you can't expect it to be that good, but we would all never get our keyboards if they hand lubed EVERY keyboard

I tried lubing my 60he but I got lazy and just did it the plastic bag way where u put the lube in then shake it

Ik I'm yapping but

I'm excited for the wooting 80he, I think the size will be way better

[mint sequoia]

No im aware of that haha

[neat hatch]

I'm buying it for my birthday, it's gonna be cool to try a new fresh keyboard

[sleek pelican]

do i get zinc alloy arrrrghghhh

[mint sequoia]

v2 lekkers should sound so much better though.

[neat hatch]

Word??

I thought they were using the same switches

[mint sequoia]

They’re fixing problems with the previous revision. Stem wobble etc.

[neat hatch]

It better sound creamy and thocky and juicy 🤤

[sleek pelican]

yall think zinc is worth?

like what are yall getting

[mint sequoia]

If you like a metal, hefty feel, sure. It’s preference.

[sleek pelican]

may help me decide

[mint sequoia]

I prefer the premium feel.

So I’m going for zinc alloy.

[sleek pelican]

i do too

ehh ill go for it i tink

my current is metal and ive never used a plastic mechanical

ye ill do it

[mint sequoia]

Is it worth $100, eh not in my book, but the form factor is proprietary, so beggars can’t be choosers 😭

[sleek pelican]

my plan is to get it and never buy a keyboard ever again lol

[jade widget]

The zinc should be a hefty boy

[sleek pelican]

yea ill do it, if i want best of the best i might aswell get the best if the best of the best

[neat hatch]

Shipping time, 2 years. March 12th, 2024 - March 12th, 2026.

[mint sequoia]

I just bought the 60he+ module. Still gonna buy the 80he though my wallet loves me

[neat hatch]

😂

[jade widget]

I spent a boat load of money customizing my 60he but hey its 80he time

[mint sequoia]

I think all in I’ve probably dropped $350 on my 60he so far.

[sleek pelican]

idk if i should be basing my financial decisions of of yall lol

[neat hatch]

There is nothing wrong with my 60he at all but I just wanna buy the 80he because I had no idea for a birthday gift and wooting came out with this, and the 80he is better than the 60he in terms of speed

[sleek pelican]

its fine tho, i want it anyway

[mint sequoia]

The 0.875ms will be beyond unnoticeable to a human. 8k polling is a marketing gimmick

[neat hatch]

I mean

[sleek pelican]

its as good as bought😼

[neat hatch]

Tbh I just wanted to buy it

Again I said I had no idea for a birthday gift

[mint sequoia]

We just making excuses to open our wallets atp

[neat hatch]

Fr 😂

anyone here has a link to show the smoky translucent case ?

[umbral locust]

Building my second 60he tonight. I don't even wanna tally up all the money I spent on wootings lmao

switches cases keycaps ... it adds up rip

[mint sequoia]

I just work full time to afford my expensive hobbies 🔥🔥

Money is easy to get, you better bet I’m gonna spend it on things I like. My enjoyment is worth it 😂

[pastel herald]

The only way to live

[umbral locust]

I'm lucky I can take extra shifts whenever I want. And it's funny that on the days I work more I spend less money and make more money, so a few weeks of that and I can live like a king for a while lmao

[mint sequoia]

I make around a grand a week and I’m fortunate enough to not have crazy living expenses. So I make do for sure haha.

[brazen hazel]

REAL

[still dawn]

does the zinc alloy come in black?

[ebon sluice]

yeah it does, check pinned messages for more info

[deft sigil]

Am I the only having to wake up at the fcod to get my hands on a founders edition?

[knotty sable]

does the 80he have screw in stabs?

[vague remnant]

Is there going to be a wrist wrest for the 80he, or is it intended to use the tkl version even if its slightly longer

[real gulch]

there will be a new one

[pliant goblet]

they did say something like they dont really want the need for a wrist rest and made the keyboard ergonimics different to help with the need of one so i dont know why they made one for it unless its something ppl just like. ive never had one, id like one but wouldnt spend 30 on it

[red sandal]

$30 goes crazy

[pliant goblet]

i thiunk thats how umuch itll cost

[tough mauve]

L60 or L45 which one do you guys prefer

[fading sentinel]

What Should i buy when keyboard 80he out is. pre order or should i make custom one ( that worth more money)

[buoyant solstice]

L45 is too light for my tastes.

[ruby jungle]

Is there any estimated date for the delivery of the 80HE? pre order is tomorrow isn't it?

[jade widget]

august/september

[desert quest]

Q2/Q3 so yeah late summer…

[ruby jungle]

ty

[umbral locust]

L60 all day.

[tough mauve]

Does the 80 he come with spare switches

[buoyant solstice]

Not entirely sure how we'll handle this, given how the keyboard comes in both prebuilt and barebones module. The prebuilts might have a couple of L60 switches included to spare.

[hazy cove]

Oh we’re getting lekker v2 Switches?

[umbral locust]

A couple of spares is always nice to have. Just in case.

[waxen turret]

Will a keyboard dust cover be provided or is purchasable?

[bitter vector]

Yes

There's also jades and two more unknown switch option

[midnight iron]

some people want extremely lower angle/flat, you can only achieve that with a wrist rest basically

I can't remember, did they say if the 80he sized wrist rest will be addable to cart for the campaign tomorrow? or if we'll be waiting to get that later

[winged birch]

Not stated afaik.

[vernal quest]

i think the best egronomic deseign is this
(befor i use my keyboard in a angle of the dead )

after test to up my keyboard like a ergo keyboard and every thing is goo

[umbral locust]

I really hope the wrist rest is available. Other than those laptop looking low profile keyboards, it's mandatory for me.

[bitter vector]

I shall never get people who use their keyboard at that angle

[molten arch]

I angled it the other way

[bitter vector]

Bro

[molten arch]

But not as hard, its like 35°

[winged birch]

yea ur wrists are done pal

[molten arch]

Im also a couch gamer, the kb is at knee hight, so add my back to the list xD

[vernal quest]

if wooting can make a keyboard really ergonomique , i take it ! like they make the true 8000K polling then make a truly ergonomic keyboard ...

[fading sentinel]

What Should i buy when keyboard 80he out is. pre order or should i make custom one ( that worth more money)

[vernal quest]

@fading sentinel its take longer ..

[buoyant solstice]

Up to you? I don't understand the motivation of the question.

[heavy flax]

ngl if you're patient it would probably be better to get a centerpiece

not out yet tho

[buoyant solstice]

[midnight iron]

patient as in want to wait a year you mean lol

[heavy flax]

yea… that's the catch

[midnight iron]

for untested tech as well that has no proof it works well

[buoyant solstice]

Imagine paying for a "keyboard" whose selling point is an LED monitor. Not performance or anything else.

[polar storm]

imo I would buy 60he now and preorder 80he for late summer (or later)

[upbeat berry]

dw theyll not use keyboards forever cause their wrists will be destroyed before you ever meet them

[heavy flax]

that's fair

[heavy flax]

what

[midnight iron]

it's vaporware until they actually show it working. Just like the flux keyboard

[heavy flax]

yea i have too much faith in it huh

had good experience with my ulx, starlight, and air58 so i don't mind shilling the brand

[midnight iron]

finalmouse literally put together a bunch of random specs and things they think people want, then gave a random date for releasing it with no idea how they're even going to build that keyboard or make it work. It's why it's delayed like a year or whatever now and still no date for even delivery (only ordering date which isn't even set in stone)

[buoyant solstice]

Did I stutter?

[upbeat berry]

i can get the hustle of finalmouses ambitious projects... but the artificial scarcity to get the FOMO going is not ok

[winged birch]

It’s profitable.

[heavy flax]

nvm your points are completely fair

[upbeat berry]

well robbing banks is also profitable doesnt mean its ok

[umbral locust]

They can't even keep mice in stock, why are they going into the keyboard business.

[winged birch]

That’s against the law.

[heavy flax]

keyboard business in question

[umbral locust]

I also find it funny to buy a keyboard from a company called final mouse lmao

[midnight iron]

don't forget the fact that first version if centerpiece isn't even rapid trigger lol

[upbeat berry]

its not that they can't. they dont want to keep it in stock. they live from the hype and artificially created scarcity

[heavy flax]

has anyone tested rt on boog75

[midnight iron]

so first they have to get the lcd tech working, then make it and delivery, then they have to get the rapid trigger tech working on the following model. by the time you get a finalmouse lcd keyboard with rapid trigger it'll be sometime mid 2025 at best

[umbral locust]

Wild that they don't want to grow their market share.

[umbral locust]

By 2025 I'll be in my self driving wooting car (with rapid throttle)

[heavy flax]

what's next for wooting tho? 60he refresh? full size refresh?

[upbeat berry]

i dont have any proof ofc but i do believe this way of "marketing" is more profitable for them as they can justify high prices and such due to the high demand and low supply no matter if its artificial or not

[upbeat berry]

the current fullsize is a refresh

from optical to HE

[umbral locust]

Very possible. Not the first company to do it. Reminds me of Descent longboards lol

[upbeat berry]

also means you never have to get into big warehouse stuff and such

as you keep the rough same volume of sales

[heavy flax]

then refresh of a refresh

[upbeat berry]

nope

[heavy flax]

[umbral locust]

Wooting numpad

[upbeat berry]

the current w2 design is just not what we would want to go for in a new keyboard

[winged birch]

There are no morals in business. If people still buy their product and their brand doesn’t suffer from their strategies, 🤷‍♂️

[heavy flax]

who needs rapid trigger for a productivity device? Input data faster?

[umbral locust]

Kinda wish we had morals in business ngl

[umbral locust]

I don't need rapid trigger. I just wanna pair it with my 60 hehe

[heavy flax]

if anyone has a boog75 how does its rapid trigger compare to wooting

[umbral locust]

I don't like mixing design language, so it would be nice to have a numpad that has the same design language and feel as my main keyboard.

[heavy flax]

what the

[umbral locust]

using a numpad when you have a 60 kb isn't crazy

[heavy flax]

honestly that sounds like a useless product to me

[umbral locust]

They made the uwu, I don't see how it would be any different to make a numpad.

[umbral locust]

To you. Numpads sell

[heavy flax]

there is going to be nothing unique about the product besides it matching and having rapid trigger

[upbeat berry]

and so we have arrived at the same conclusion as every other discussion about keyboards. its all preference

[umbral locust]

Who says? They could add cool shit to it. They've been innovating on all their products, why assume with a numpad there would be none?

[heavy flax]

😭if they make one i hope so

[terse light]

Wrong it’s not preference…

I only speak facts

[upbeat berry]

youre welcome in holding your opinion that you speak facts but thats factually incorrect

[heavy flax]

one thing they could do is pair the function layers so that you can use an fn layer on the numpad

[upbeat berry]

you mean like we do for the uwu

all devices we released so far can use all features in wootility

[heavy flax]

i don't really know anything about that but maybe

[upbeat berry]

be it controller output, fn layers or such

[umbral locust]

It's another reason I want a wooting numpad. I think Wootility software is just too good.

My Keychron Q0 plus is just not the same when I open VIA lol

also being able to use features like mod tap and DKS on a numpad would legit be huge for productivity

[rare crane]

Can someone tell me the pros/cons of PCR Plastic vs Zinc Alloy?

[heavy flax]

if you do make a numpad please don't charge 100 dollars

[upbeat berry]

ones plastic ones a metal

[rare crane]

I get that part

[vernal quest]

its for that i gonna stay with my 60he and upgrade it when they gonna reales the 60 he 8000hz , in this time we are sur its working well with games

[buoyant solstice]

That's... that it. There are no inherent pros or cons. Just personal preference.

[upbeat berry]

yeah and every other "pro" or "con" is just a property of the material

[vernal quest]

con its not good in frensh guys

[buoyant solstice]

A reminder: We currently have not announced any plans to redesign the 60HE for 8khz. It is not possible to add to existing boards with firmware updates either.

[upbeat berry]

yes both will melt when heated too a few hundred degrees. yes both scratch, plastic is light and metal is heavy and so on

[heavy flax]

if you like premium products you should get zinc

[vernal quest]

yes a i know i speak aboute material upgrade

[rare crane]

Perfect - Do you have an idea about the weight difference?

[heavy flax]

if you like gamer gamer rgb get clear pcr

[midnight iron]

8k tech has been done on keyboards already. It's taxing on the keyboard, not the computer

[upbeat berry]

at least 5g but i dont have numbers

[midnight iron]

if you're worried you can still wait, but if you google genesis 8k you can look at 8k poll/scan keyboards in korea that already exist

[umbral locust]

aint no way it's just 5 grams

[heavy flax]

wait since youre on the waiting team, have you tried the 80he

[rare crane]

Hate RGB, but i think i'd rather go for a lighter keyboard

[heavy flax]

that too

[upbeat berry]

only ate one

cant say its tasty

[umbral locust]

Ye it's all about preference. I like heavy shit.

[upbeat berry]

despite the "lekker" switches

[heavy flax]

okay

[upbeat berry]

lucky for you that you can turn it off

[heavy flax]

clear polycarb looks kinda dumb without rgb imo

[rare crane]

I made sure before i even considered buying it 😂

[heavy flax]

8000hz doesn't do anything

[upbeat berry]

it does quite a lot. like 7000 more scans per second

[heavy flax]

don't base a purchase off of that

[midnight iron]

he's talking about the effect on a computer, not the performance effect

[vernal quest]

true but you know if i can i do it

[buoyant solstice]

...what

[upbeat berry]

but yeah 8khz on keyboards has no noticable impact on anything

[vernal quest]

yes i heard not every game can handle 8000k polling

[heavy flax]

no I'm talking about how he shouldn't upgrade just because of 8khz

[midnight iron]

you're confusing mice with keyboards

[upbeat berry]

they can but not mice

mice have a different data stream over usb than keyboards

[vernal quest]

i speak about games

[upbeat berry]

thats also why 8khz mice can easily cause massive fps drops but not keyboards

[upbeat berry]

yes

we do too

[vernal quest]

games have a limit too

[heavy flax]

but honestly i might get a 60he+ just because I want to get durockv2 stabs on mine

[upbeat berry]

yes but unless you can actually press and depress a key 8000 times per seconds your game has no idea it gets data from an 8khz device

[heavy flax]

i bought my 60he right before they made the +

[upbeat berry]

where as mice send different data as they are relative so theres constantly something to process

[vernal quest]

when i edit in fortnite its pretty much it

[heavy flax]

blus is not the sigma king

[upbeat berry]

i would suggest you call up nasa or some other research centers so they can study you

[north girder]

Hello guys! Question : is there an actual difference between the PCR and the ZINC versions? (except for the case material)

[upbeat berry]

no

[vernal quest]

yes one is heavyer

[upbeat berry]

thats a material property

not a case property

[north girder]

Got it thanks

[midnight iron]

the difference is in what they call 'street cred'. Zinc has a much higher 'street cred' value

[north girder]

I'm excited for tomorrow ngl

[vernal quest]

chat is in fire today

[heavy flax]

what effect will a tighter housing have on the sound?

[heavy flax]

chill u have a whole month

[vernal quest]

i just wait for the lekker v2 and put it in 60he !!

[jade widget]

Also the zinc case could be used as a weapon in case of emergency

[vernal quest]

againts zombi i guess

[heavy flax]

worth the extra money

[north girder]

It's also raging-proof

[umbral locust]

That's why i need a strap, so i can swing it

[heavy flax]

wait what's the point of buying this over a boog75

[umbral locust]

whats the point of buying a boog75 over this?

[north girder]

So which case would you recommend if you could afford it but also would not mind saving an extra 100 ? 🤔

[heavy flax]

better stock keycaps, same featureset

[midnight iron]

same feature is not equal feature

[umbral locust]

Whichever you won't regret. Idk if you will miss the 100 more or think you cheaped out on the plastic case every time you use it.

[midnight iron]

and keycaps being better is not a thing anyone should factor in since you can buy barebones in both boog and wooting

[umbral locust]

I use my keyboard all day every day, am investing in the nice case

[heavy flax]

boog75 is 230 for alu

[midnight iron]

Boog75 is a fine board, but it's rapid trigger isn't quite as good

having the same software features doesn't mean they perform the same

[heavy flax]

do you have one

[midnight iron]

i have multiple meletrix boards and have played with a boog75 in person but don't own one

[heavy flax]

oh good enough

idk if you're gonna shill but is the rt decent

[midnight iron]

just because a board has rapid trigger and low actuation doesn't mean the rapid trigger and low actuation is consistent

[midnight iron]

it's 'fine' - good enough for most but once in awhile you notice when it doesn't activate properly

[umbral locust]

Me personally, part of the reason I support wooting is becasue i want to support innovation, not imitation.

[heavy flax]

have you tried a drunkdeer

[upbeat berry]

oh noe drunkdeer

[midnight iron]

like you'll press in a key and notice it didn't actuation properly or the rapid trigger didn't work

[umbral locust]

pls no

[heavy flax]

is he the thinker

[upbeat berry]

the people who just send executable in discord

[heavy flax]

i just want it for comparison

[midnight iron]

yeah, two of them. Same issue with them. Performs 'fine' most of the time but has consistency issues here and there

it's the same deal with a lot of the budget rt boards because their software needs more work

[heavy flax]

ohh that's good to know

[low token]

If you want compare use steelseries they are fine enough

[heavy flax]

i wish wooting didn't go for weird case design though

[buoyant solstice]

Weird how?

[heavy flax]

i prefer just rectangle edges, but that's just my preference

i meant from the sides

[heavy flax]

yea

[vernal quest]

i think in palstique its a little bit weird but in metal its good felling i think

[heavy flax]

that's fair

[umbral locust]

I hardly ever look at my kb from the side. Round corners just make sense. Sharp edges are a hazard.

[heavy flax]

it'll definitely feel more premium

[umbral locust]

Those feet are aweful though.

[prisma fjord]

Metal != premium

[heavy flax]

keep it rounded, remove the weird bezels

I'd prefer that because I could paint designs (easily) onto it that match my ulx

but i think more people would prefer the current design over that

[umbral locust]

Hopefully when it's out we will get some 3rd party cases.

Potentially with feet that aren't a crime

[vernal quest]

at least the same color of the case

[heavy flax]

what's wrong with the reet

those are just for height adjustment

[umbral locust]

They are extremely tacky

idk why they need to be white, that huge, and have weird design instead of being sleek and minimalistic.

[heavy flax]

lol 10 mins ago you were saying that you support innovation over imitation

[umbral locust]

I do.

[heavy flax]

but yea white is odd

[umbral locust]

But not any needless random changes is innovation.

[tame bane]

What's the mode key for in the top right normally there would be an F13?

[heavy flax]

and that's clean asfuck 🥵

[buoyant solstice]

Uh no. F13 is not a normal key by any stretch of the imagination 😄

Mode is for changing between profiles. Of course you can swap keycaps and functionality to your liking in Wootility.

[heavy flax]

guys what effect would the new switches have on the sound

[buoyant solstice]

Literally impossible to say until specifications about WHAT the new switches are come out.

[heavy flax]

what effect will a tighter housing have

[umbral locust]

less wobble

[fresh nimbus]

I have seen functional F13 keys but they were only on human interface panels for software controlling machine installations

[umbral locust]

no clue on sound, it's pretty pointless trying to guess what things will sound like. It will sound like what it will sound like. Love it or hate it.

[vernal quest]

POV : with me or againts me

[heavy flax]

and im dumb and forgot to mention my actual question

[buoyant solstice]

I never said they don't exist. I pointed out that they definitely are not considered "normal"

[heavy flax]

what does that do to sound

[umbral locust]

No clue, I buy keyboards to use them not to listen to them.

[vernal quest]

ISHHH🥶

[fresh nimbus]

i never said they didn't exist ^^

[buoyant solstice]

Take the L and move on. Or don't - I'm not the Discord police.

[vernal quest]

i need a F16

[sterile walrus]

So much this

[heavy flax]

i could say that about any other property of a keyboard like its looks

[umbral locust]

And I would agree with you.

[fresh nimbus]

the L? woke up on the wrong side of the bed? 😦

[heavy flax]

instigating on wooting server is crazy 😭😭😭

[fresh nimbus]

i just share one example of where i've actually seen F13 on a keyboard, that's all

[sterile walrus]

Performance>Feel>Aesthetic>>>>>>>≥>Sound

[heavy flax]

soo is keyboard discussion suddenly a competition

[buoyant solstice]

You're the one who keeps wanting to argue. You were wrong, I corrected you. That's all 😄

[umbral locust]

based

[heavy flax]

fair

[fresh nimbus]

i'm not here to argue?

[vernal quest]

amen

[fresh nimbus]

and being wrong and correcting me over what? i never said F13 was normal - i never said it didn't existed - i mentioned i've seen a functional F13 once.. where do you see a competition?

[heavy flax]

I'd put feel above perf my wooting didn't make me unreal

[sterile walrus]

This server is keyboard Thunderdome

[fresh nimbus]

how was i wrong? @buoyant solstice

[umbral locust]

Whether you realize it or not, every comment here is actually a fight to the last man standing.

[heavy flax]

i swear bro I was in this channel a month ago talking abt my preferences and some kid called me dense for saying I didn't like a product

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/movingroght-along-movingrightalong-muppets-anyway-gif-17971671

[fresh nimbus]

very mature buddy

[heavy flax]

they was like “you can't have an opinion because not everybody else has that same opinion”

[buoyant solstice]

I explained it to you, and you keep arguing about it. If we're talking about being mature.

[fresh nimbus]

no you're just being a high-up dick right now

[heavy flax]

sorry I missed your 8 year discord anniversary

[buoyant solstice]

[sterile walrus]

Best Muppet movie

[pseudo parrot]

Epic, one day ish until the campaign

[analog grail]

Colour matching feet would be nice for those that do go with black

[heavy flax]

I've seen an f13 many times tho

[umbral locust]

How would a wooting fit this on it

[midnight iron]

they're not white though iirc

it's just the prototype still, don't think we know what the final colors are

[umbral locust]

That'd be poggers. Am curious on what the final info is.

If the feet are only in white am buying the white case lol

But then the wrist pad has to be in white too rip

[heavy flax]

ngl white keyboard might be sexy

[midnight iron]

wrist rest is coming in white too btw

[low token]

I do not know why they didnt make white abs keeb

[heavy flax]

is it the regular wooting one

[midnight iron]

they said they're making a white option for the 80he

[tame bane]

There's not normally a mode key, I just equated it to another key that comes in that position on keyboards that have that key next to F12

[pseudo parrot]

I went back and forward with zinc or pcr white, think I’ll just get the zinc in white. Looks so nice to me

[versed pagoda]

Lekker L60 is v2 too ?

[tame bane]

Just to back up me and Arrow

[low token]

V2 is included

[pseudo parrot]

yesh I think so

[versed pagoda]

Thanks

[heavy flax]

if I buy one I'll probably get

zinc white
l45 for letters and l60 for spacebar lubed with 205g2
durockv2
cerakey white with legends

crazy pricey tho im not affording that 😭😭😭

[tame bane]

Didn't have to be rude

[pseudo parrot]

I wonder how the durock compares to stock wooting stabilizer, I’m not a keyboard modder but to me the stock stabilizer is very good already

[heavy flax]

right now they use plate mount ones I think

They're good but there's just a little bit of rattle (unless that's just the lekker switch)

[pseudo parrot]

Yea but I think the 60he+ supports screw in too, as will the 80he

[pseudo parrot]

Oh I see

[buoyant solstice]

Yup. Module comes preinstalled, 60HE+ it's an aftermarket install you'd have to do yourself.

[pseudo parrot]

Aha makes sense

[heavy flax]

I haven't had a good experience with plate mount tho… they're definitely good enough though, just nitpickers who want to switch them out

[pseudo parrot]

To me they’re good because these are the best stabilizers I’ve had in a keyboard. Came from an unlubed Logitech board before haha

[heavy flax]

that's nice, yea they're def really good for prebuilt stabs

[pseudo parrot]

But I guess if I try some more expensive options it might be noticeable yep

[polar storm]

cant decide between black zinc and raw zinc

[desert quest]

Does the RAW Zinc alloy case still have a coating or is it really completely raw?

[midnight iron]

Raw zinc is the most interesting option in that it’s so unique that I can’t tell how popular it will be

White and black you know will sell well automatically

[polar storm]

gimme translucent zinc

[midnight iron]

They said they might not keep all the colorway after campaign too, so there’s always the chance raw zinc isn’t popular and they don’t sell it later

[analog grail]

It’s definitely an interesting option but aesthetically I think it can be hard to match with what a lot of people want

[heavy flax]

what is raw zinc

[buoyant solstice]

Just the raw block, no painting of black or white on top

[heavy flax]

and why are we making keyboards out of essential minerals

[verbal solar]

bc it's cool

buy it or don't

[heavy flax]

oh is it silver

[analog grail]

CNCing Aluminium is slower

[heavy flax]

chillax bro I'm trolling

[analog grail]

Yeah

[heavy flax]

nicee ill take a look at that

[analog grail]

Only an option on the module kit tho

[heavy flax]

shiny 🥵🥵🥵

imagine that with metal keycaps

[analog grail]

Yeah it’d go pretty hard with bare metal keycaps

Chromed out

[heavy flax]

yea itd hit wallets pretty hard though

[analog grail]

[heavy flax]

would def buy it if metal keycaps didn't cost like 200 dollars 😭

[analog grail]

And the rest lol

[chrome badge]

cerakey 🙏

[heavy flax]

Bro I was thinking of that

white zinc plus white cerakey keycaps would be so pretty

[chrome badge]

sounds crispy too

[heavy flax]

thocc 🥵

[chrome badge]

I have them on my qwer/asdf atm I think I'll buy more, I already have a different set I was gonna use tho

[heavy flax]

why hasn't anyone tried to make an uhmwpe hall effect switch yet

[chrome badge]

I'm a translucent plastic stan till i die

[heavy flax]

nice

Bro I wish there was a transparent ver like the id80 crystal but for the 80he

[chrome badge]

damn that's real nerd shit

[heavy flax]

it's just a smooth plastic that's used in c3 tangerines

like buttery smooth

[chrome badge]

I like the more opaque style but there's no saying an aftermarket perfect clear case won't come out, keep your hopes high king 🙏

[heavy flax]

🙏🙏🙏no way nice person on the wooting server

justr block mansen 5head 💀

[buoyant solstice]

Fair

[celest laurel]

Pretty sure this was asked here (new to this disc), but I guess w80he won't come prelubed? Just "raw", like the w60he came?

[buoyant solstice]

Why wouldn't it?

60HE is prelubed. All of our products are

[celest laurel]

I'm spoiled by how the boog75 prebuilt sounds out of the box, but god damn it's slow, it feels slower than my w60he. I'll gladly switch it to w80he, hoping for better sound profile / typing experience

[tame crow]

Black or white zinc alloy? What do you guys think is better

[tight cypress]

RAW

[arctic ice]

Black is always 🔥 never gonna disappoint

[heavy flax]

What do you mean by slow? I've been wanting a boog75

[heavy flax]

it'll have prelubed stabs and factory lubed switches, probably not to the level of meletrix tho

[celest laurel]

Obviously it's highly subjective, but it feels slower to react than the w60he, given same settings and whatnot. Don't have any scientific method to back this up, but I saw some Korean guy measuring the boog75 board latency being around 11ms or so. I'll try to find it up to not cloud the opinion

[celest laurel]

Thanks, this helps a lot!

[heavy flax]

Good to know, not going to buy it anymore lol

sucks that the zinc version is 300 dollars though… I don't see why wooting is charging 70 more for a keyboard that is likely to be on par or worse to the boog just because it has better firmware

[celest laurel]

I mean build quality of the boog75 is top notch and feels so premium like any other pre-built board out there, but the board is indeed slower, at least in my opinion. Thus I'm getting the w80he to level up. Some say the difference between HE boards can't be really noticeable, but I clearly notice the difference between the boog75 and w60he

Mb the w80he zinc will be a good middle ground while still being the fastest on the market

[winged birch]

The OASIS75HE looks good, https://youtu.be/2OkiZpNzGhs?si=5738FyY__EiQ-f0q

[celest laurel]

Software is a deal breaker, boog75 is using base open source software framework to drive it that other HE boards are using as well, I understand wooting has their own or highly modified software that runs the board. Also w80he has additional hardware to support the 8k pooling, not found anywhere else (and software to drive that too, obviously)

[heavy flax]

Yea, I would much rather get that instead if it wasn't that slow (doesn't have to be perfect though)

[arctic ice]

Cant wait do do 180 on my mousepad and bash my thumb into that premium zinc alloy case

[analog grail]

White will look really clean especially with the white wrist rests they doing

[arctic ice]

I remember having some old corsair aluminium full sized kb , goddamn it hurt

[heavy flax]

That's fair, I don't think the price is too crazy but I think it's crazy enough to consider the options.

[tame crow]

Yeah I don’t know which one to get

[upbeat berry]

not highly modified. 100% selfmade

[celest laurel]

see, that's the difference I am talking about, well done guys

these things matter, maybe that's why competition can't get close in terms of latency and so fort

[upbeat berry]

i think theres only 2 libraries we use that arent ours which are for USB coms and interacting with the flash chip on lekker and newer

[heavy flax]

guess that's another point for wooting

[celest laurel]

I also like you guys provide both web and desktop software

[pseudo parrot]

Oh yeah I love the web based version

[fallen forge]

wait, all those "clones" actually running on open source software? which software is it?

[midnight iron]

Change your switches

[heavy flax]

for the price of this keyboard it would've been nice to see wooting go full asus mode and make something comparable to the azoth but for hall effect

[midnight iron]

A lot of the boog difference (not all but a lot) is because it uses much better sounding switches. The gasket mounting and larger heavier case do help but at the base of it is just that the lekker switches don’t match up sound and feel vs any of the newer switches

[tight cypress]

Wireless would chew through battery in an hour with analog switches
And shipping batteries is pain in the ass too

[heavy flax]

forgot that board was wireless, I more so meant the features in the keyboard

and customizabikity

[pseudo parrot]

What kind of features would you like to see?

[tight cypress]

[heavy flax]

Nvm ignore what I said not features

[celest laurel]

I'll try to look it up, but yeah, drunkdeer, endgame gear, all the HE boards are based on the same stuff software wise (for the on-board chip) with little to none changes. Wooting is different in that regard

[celest laurel]

which one would you recommend?

[heavy flax]

modding straight out of the box without needing to buy anything would be something I want after spending 300 dollars

[winged birch]

Comparing the boog’s switches is comparing Gen1 vs Gen2. Not fair.

[fallen forge]

ye it's just first time hearing about it being open source and quick google didn't show any projects besides minipad one

[heavy flax]

what's different about their switches

[midnight iron]

Gateron jade

[celest laurel]

thanks!

[winged birch]

Boog is KS-37B (B is V2) whereas Lekkers are KS-20 (where KS-20U is V2).

KS-37 are the V1s

[celest laurel]

like these here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3KX_le6_vQ

[winged birch]

Both V1s and V2s are comparable to each other.

[heavy flax]

thank you bro I was about to blindly buy some ks20s off gaterons website

[midnight iron]

Yeah those

[heavy flax]

so do gen2 switches sound better than gen1

[celest laurel]

does the official instruction will apply to the w80he as well? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KtpE1mv23s

[midnight iron]

Yeah much better. And feel better too because they don’t wobble

Yeah same thing Swan

[celest laurel]

Thank you guys! you ROCK

[heavy flax]

nicee wooting gets gen2 switches after 80he

[celest laurel]

nice I see them already prelubed on amazon, cool!

[winged birch]

Yes, their tolerances are far better and have reduced stem wobble because of their dual rail design.

[buoyant solstice]

Yes. With the exception of how to open the case up and remove the PCBA. Changing to gasket mount and daughter board means it's a little more involved.

[celest laurel]

Will you fellas update the vid or make a new one when the time comes? I find the w60he vid super clear and helpful to follow for a noobie like me

[winged birch]

Those won’t be the KS-20U switches but something else.

[buoyant solstice]

New videos as needed.

[heavy flax]

wait in what way

[low token]

Build video and disassemble video will be in late summer?

[celest laurel]

damn super excited for the campaign to start

[winged birch]

We don’t know yet, just that it’s a different switch.

[celest laurel]

and again big thanks for the tip on the switch replacement, I feel like I'm entering new kind of rabbit hole and there is no escape

[buoyant solstice]

It needs to be ready for shipping, since people will be receiving modules. But I can't tell you when exactly.

[versed pagoda]

Keycaps pbt or abs on prebuild ?

[buoyant solstice]

Depends on language. Just like with the 2HE and 60HE

[versed pagoda]

On what languages is pbt

[tight cypress]

ANSI and JIS on pre-builts
There are ISO-UK, ISO-DE and ISO-NR PBT keycaps available separately too

[versed pagoda]

Thanks

[buoyant solstice]

If the checkout includes taxes, then it's covered during checkout.

[short parrot]

ok

[brisk tendon]

Can't decide between plastic or going for the zinc alloy! Would love to be able to hear the difference in sound

[celest laurel]

I wonder that too! Leaning into zinc alloy black atm

[gilded vault]

Are we aware of the type of coating being applied to the zinc alloy case yet? I'm afraid it's painted and will chip over time.

[buoyant solstice]

All finish will inevitably chip and be scuffed over time. But no - I couldn't tell you exactly how it's finished. Something to ask during the next livestream though for sure.

[low token]

Tommorow there will be live stream?

[verbal solar]

what happened to ur roles menson

[buoyant solstice]

Every other friday. So next week.

[polar storm]

looks like they need to add that question to the F.A.Q. soon

[low token]

Faq is needed

[buoyant solstice]

[valid comet]

Same :)

[celest laurel]

on a side note, do you think new stabs are needed? Read somewhere gateron jades are shorter

[midnight iron]

Nah, it’s a rare problem only if you have loose keycaps

If you really run into that problem there’s other fixes too. Like getting geon o ring spacers for like $5 or whatever

https://divinikey.com/products/geon-stem-spacer

But most people won’t ever see the problem if their keycaps aren’t loose

[celest laurel]

thanks a lot, this helps a ton 💪

[naive ruin]

do people use their wooting for work? ive been thinking of getting the 80he primarily for gaming but im not sure about the experience of using it for work too

[lapis galleon]

ofc, its a keyboard

[tight cypress]

I do, when I'm workin at home, I also plan to get 80he for work too

[lapis galleon]

keyboard can do keyboard things

[desert quest]

You could create a writing profile for working and set the actuation point to 3mm or so to avoid accidentally pressing another key while writing.

[naive ruin]

I guess im primarily asking from the perspective of someone that has other keyboards. I have a slightly modded keychron v1 that I like now, but if I were to get the wooting that would be my main driver. I know the experience for fps games would be top notch on the wooting but I also have a friend that doesnt like using his 60he for work. Im also asking because if I were to get it, I would give my keyboard to a younger cousin and just wanna make sure its a good experience for me when i WFH

[tight cypress]

I had to set 1.5~2mm actuation on my 2HE and it took a while to get used to it, but it's so worth it... It's like typing on a cloud

[lapis galleon]

the typing experience can be a little stiff on the 60he, but this shouldnt be a problem with the 80he due to being gasket mounted. other than that, the typing experience is really good.

[oblique salmon]

Hello, just saw the latest video and in the pricing section I got a bit dumbfoundead by the choice between PCR and Zinc alloy versions. I am absolutely new to buying high-end keyboards like this and the main reasons why I am buying the 80HE are the gameplay specs: unrivaled HE effect, wooting software and true 8kHz polling. What am I getting by buying the zinc alloy version? Is it just more "luxury feeling" ? Or it lasts longer? Can't really justify 100e extra if it's just that.

[jolly tangle]

a case is a case

you also get a travel case with the zinc version

thats all

[naive ruin]

Gotcha okay, I’ll def consider it a lot more. I was looking at the 60he but I like my function keys and arrow keys and honestly the page up and downs are nice for coding too. @tight cypress I just wanted to ask are you saying that you like it from the perspective of a programmer too? Like are you thinking of getting the 80he for the extra keys or because of the new options

[haughty cedar]

0

[tight cypress]

I want to get 80HE, as I'm not using numpad as often at work as I do at home, and smaller form factor will be also useful when I'll be carrying it around with myself, to server rooms for example
And I love my 2HE, DKS is incredibly useful for more common shortcuts, and it's so buttery smooth Only L60s switches are a bit too light for me, but heavier springs are going to be released soon, so I'll pick up a pack of 80s or 100s

[midnight iron]

as arden said it's literally just 'if you want a fancier feeling/looking metal case'. Just an aesthetic thing for those of us who like customizing keyboard stuff

[valid comet]

About how heavy can we guess a Zinc 80HE would be?

[nova nexus]

2kg roughly

[valid comet]

And shipping to canada in CAD, would cost maybe 500?

Ill cough it up

Its cause 300 USD is like 450CAD, then duty, tax and shipping

So 500 my guess

[buoyant solstice]

Oh in TOTAL

[valid comet]

Yeah

[sterile condor]

How long do we think the 80 HE will take to ship to the US if ordered tomorrow

[valid comet]

But I wanted someone else to lemme know

[buoyant solstice]

We have a cautious expectation to start shipping in August. And US orders would ship from within the US.

[valid comet]

Cool my bday is august 16

[dusk crater]

holeee sht breh im on the same boat

[valid comet]

Ill pay I just wanna know if this is how much it is so im ready

[buoyant solstice]

Fortunately Canada is one of a few locations, where we are able to include import fees straight into the checkout. So you'll know tomorrow exactly what it'll all cost you. 🙂

[valid comet]

Thanks man

I also wanted to learn PCB design for HE boards which is one of the reasons I wanted to get myself a wooting 80HE also because its so fast and modular

This is my first time actually paying online for a product

And paypal works?

[buoyant solstice]

Paypal we do not have.

[valid comet]

Debit or credit

[celest laurel]

autumn?

[valid comet]

I only have a MasterCard

[buoyant solstice]

Those are fine.

[muted relic]

these days i barely use my numpad since they added a buy menu in CS2

[dark saddle]

is this more or less true?

[molten ember]

is VAT included in the wooting 60he?

[buoyant solstice]

Sales tax (and import fees) are included for the following locations.
EU, US, UK and CA (Also this is the #🌟│wooting80he channel)

[molten ember]

where the 60he channel go

[verbal solar]

Manson deleted it

[buoyant solstice]

Archived - #💬│general is the hot stuff now

Not my name. And no I did not 😛

[molten ember]

just curious if i paid for VAT already do i still have to pay for tax in my own country

singapore

[fallen epoch]

Its just chilling in the void, 60he channel is doin just fine

[polar storm]

how is it, that so many ppl cant write your name, lol

[buoyant solstice]

Singapore? You did not pay VAT. You will be met with import duties.

[molten ember]

when i ordered last time i didnt had to pay for tax not sure why now i have to

[buoyant solstice]

Lazy singaporean customs officers?

[molten ember]

and i used ups which is faster

and had to pay 15 dollar more

didnt had to pay for tax when i use postnl last time

[winged birch]

The switches I know are listed correctly. You could maybe change Raptor to Raptor HE and add Latenpow Magnetic White and Pinks which have a reversed polarity. Raptor HE switches come from the same Latenpow mold and factory but their magnet is flipped to work with Geon and Wooting’s boards. I also think the keycron dawn nebula aurora are 37Bs.

[fallen epoch]

Listening to more aluminum vs plastic videos, might just go translucent black honestly

Or just see if theres gonna be a sound comparison video tomorrow

[molten ember]

So did i get scam or something

[buoyant solstice]

I wouldn't exactly call "not paying import fees" being scammed.
If anything you get off easy.

[fallen epoch]

Maybe they thought it was their wooting

Customs officers gotta game too sometimes

[molten ember]

i shall try using postnl again the next time i order see if i still have to pay tax because if i am not wrong if i order more than 400 i have to pay for tax

but i ordered more than 400 last time too but didnt have to so im a little confuse

[tiny tartan]

Y'all gonna use the same 80he link for the pre-orders? Or a different one

[lapis galleon]

ok monsoon

[dim sierra]

scammed

[steady escarp]

Is August the date for all/most regions, or just the US?

[buoyant solstice]

It is a vague guess in general

[molten ember]

ngl i think i got scammed

[dim sierra]

so unless u buy more than 1 u wont be paying

[bitter vector]

I mean the tax aint much either honestly

[molten ember]

had to pay 15 more for shipping and 60 for tax

which doesnt make sense i ordered more than 400 in 2023 but didnt had to pax for tax

[dim sierra]

maybe they missed it and u saved some money

[flat wadi]

probably a dumb question, but I'll try it anyway to see if someone has the answer.

Braided USB-C to USB-C cable
USB-C to USB-A dongle

Is listed with the founders editions, this sounds a bit like the coiled set, but is it actually? Or is this just like with the 60HE a straight cable but this time with USB C connectors

[jolly tangle]

straight

[flat wadi]

Clear, thank you. Then I'll add a coiled set with it 🙂

[buoyant solstice]

It's technically a combination of the two.

It's the stock cable of the 60, except it's C on both ends.

It uses the same adaptor to USB A that the cooked cable has.

[flat wadi]

Makes sense. But thank you for clearing it up.

And one other question, the TKL wristrest does that fit the 80HE as well? Or will it be a bit longer?

[lapis galleon]

the 80he will get its own wrist rest

[flat wadi]

Ok then I'll wait for that to come out, thank you as well.

[blazing wedge]

what color/case material y’all going with

[tight cypress]

Translucent white

[pseudo parrot]

zinc white i think

[sour knot]

me 2

Zinc white is the way to go

[fallen epoch]

either translucent black or zinc black, will decide tomorrow

[pseudo parrot]

i have only had black keyboards so i think it would be really nice with a change

[sour knot]

Yeah I had apex 7 ghost edition (White), all other ones are black

[pseudo parrot]

ah nice

[sour knot]

Time for end game white setup 🙂

[pseudo parrot]

this time i might get it in ansi, because finding sets for iso nordic is bit of a pain lol

[sour knot]

I always go ANSI

I would add the Wooting wrist rest for my 60he and for the 80he

[tight cypress]

I'm thinking about JIS for those 3 extra keys, but getting keycaps for it will be even more pain

[sour knot]

Are they launching a 80he wrist rest ?

[jolly tangle]

no take control keycaps for you then.

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[sour knot]

About to be a 500$ order tmr I guess

[tight cypress]

Imma get TC keycaps for 60he

[pseudo parrot]

yeah i have some friends who do the same haha, im probably joining in this time

[blazing wedge]

so as i see it delivery is pretty soon right on the website it says 2024 q2 q3

[blazing wedge]

yeah i know for sure im going with plastic but idk which to go for the translucent black or the normal black i need help deciding

[sour knot]

Why choosing the plastic ? because the price ? I am just asking because I am was in this delma also :/

[silk hedge]

Well soon is relative could be as late as september

[fallen epoch]

From the aluminum vs plastic sound tests ive honestly preferred plastics sound. Obviously metal looks better however

[blazing wedge]

the price and the zinc isn’t worth it for me i had a 60he that was custom modded with the tofu 60 redux which is a full aluminum case and after having it for a while it wasn’t worth it

[blazing wedge]

so i sold it and am going with 80he

[silk hedge]

It's not a group buy where you wait years for it but yeah its still some time away

[sour knot]

I c

[blazing wedge]

true but i have hope for q2 2024

[silk hedge]

Yeah it's best to expect the worst and be surprised if it arrives sooner

[sour knot]

exactlly ^

[blazing wedge]

but guys help me decide between transparent black or normal black

[blazing wedge]

after the finalmouse ultralight x i can stand a long wait time lol

[sour knot]

i am getting the white zinc cant help with the black version xD

[lapis galleon]

knowing wooting, it'll probably get delayed 3 times and ship in November

[sour knot]

bro I orderd the ULX in the first batch and waiting 6 months

[silk hedge]

Q2 could also mean 1st of may if you wanna get technicall

[sour knot]

waited*

I also have the centerpeice code.. I am not going to buy it because what happend

[lapis galleon]

was it worth it?

[blazing wedge]

same

[sour knot]

the waiting or the mouse itself ?

[blazing wedge]

heyyy ill gladly take that off your hands then

[lapis galleon]

both

[lime aspen]

How was QC on your model

[sour knot]

prob will see my guy

So after got my 2 ULX from first batch.. I resoled them immediately because the QC issues that ppl said in the videos.. So I cant really answer that question..
But I opened one a played with it and the shell was not strong enough and the you could click the side buttons

when pushing the side plastic

I will wait for Batch 4.. and I will get the Tiger version

[lime aspen]

Nothing like making a carbon fiber 190 USD mouse with more flexing than a plastic mouse with just as many if not more holes

[lime aspen]

I will never give finalmouse money

[sour knot]

Yeah.. I think I wont buy from them again..

Maybe only for making some $$$

[lunar arch]

Not to jump in this conversation but I have one of the ULX and not impressed with it I like g pro x v2 super light

[sour knot]

You are very welcome to jump bro !

[lunar arch]

Same

[lime aspen]

Never bought from them never will

Not even because of the QC and overpricing problems I just dislike them as a company, all the other issues are just a cherry on top lol

[sour knot]

I am using Viper v2 pro , Lamzu 4k mini, logitech master 3s\

[lime aspen]

I've got lamzu mini 4k and og v2 4k

[sour knot]

I sold the og one

[lime aspen]

I don't use my mini much it's too small for me

[sour knot]

thinking about gpw x2 or Ninjutso Sora V2

to go next..

[lime aspen]

I've been thinking about trying the darmoshark m2 4k

125 euro magnesium starlight clone

[sour knot]

looking cringe xD

[lime aspen]

Doesn't look the worst

[sour knot]

I heard good reviews about the Ninjutso Sora V2

Claw grip here

[lime aspen]

Yeah it's pretty good

[lime aspen]

Yeah I use an aggressive claw

[lunar arch]

The best one I had was Dareu global a950 pro best ever that one of the side buttons stopped working after 20 days the company issued a full refund and now I have hardware I wish I can the fix the side button it’s amazing mouse with great design

[sour knot]

To be honest its just a hobby these days to buy new pc stuff..
I am not a hard gamer as the old days

[lime aspen]

Lamzu Atlantis>>

[sour knot]

Dont really need to buy nothing lol

[lime aspen]

Such a good shape for me

[lime aspen]

Me neither I'm just irresponsible with money

[sour knot]

Same Same

My wife thinking about killing me

[lime aspen]

Debating about buying a new mouse/keyboard mods but I'm also buying a new controller and those are ridiculously expensive

A barely customized roller is more than my 60he cost

[sour knot]

I bought a PS5 controller just to have here.. was a sale.. got the cammo version.. didnt open yet lol

And I dont have PS5 at all :/

[steady escarp]

use on pc

[sour knot]

I thought about it but no interesting games for me rn

[lime aspen]

I'm buying a custom roller shits like 250 usd with barely anything done to it

[lapis galleon]

based

[sour knot]

Dam...

[lime aspen]

It's wild what they charge

[lapis galleon]

is it even worth it??

like to do what, abuse aim assist?

[sour knot]

Never tought about paying 250 on a roller

I wish you all a good night .. Will get the 80he tomorrow 🙂

[shell heath]

any sound test?with all cases?

[upbeat berry]

will follow just stay tuned for the campaign

in general most questions in here get collected and answered during the campaign or such

[shell heath]

1q tomorrow we can start order right?

[upbeat berry]

yes

when the countdown reaches 0 the orders are available

[sour knot]

Is it really matter if you buy the keyboard in the first date or the last day of the campaign ?

[upbeat berry]

shouldnt matter

[shell heath]

q2 q3 is like may june right? maybe april?

[upbeat berry]

we hope we planned more than enough so that people cant buy out the first batch easily

[shell heath]

for the delivery

[upbeat berry]

q2 is april-june

[sour knot]

Any white zinc case photos ?

[upbeat berry]

q3 is july-sep

[shell heath]

hope q2

[upbeat berry]

afaik they will be there for the campaign

[shell heath]

maybe tomorrow we can star seing people reviews on yt or still need wait for reviews srry eng

[sour knot]

you mean when the option to buy is ON you can see the options for the cases ?

[upbeat berry]

yes should be the case

[sour knot]

Any its stock L60 and I will get in the package another set of L45 right ?

[upbeat berry]

i dont think there will be any reviews

[ancient vault]

Hi. I just ordered the 60he+ curious if I would be better off now just waiting for 80he. Anyone have any thoughts?

[lapis galleon]

depends, do you need the arrows keys and function row?

[ancient vault]

No. I use a 60% currently. Is the new hardware worth it?

[steady escarp]

if you prefer 60 stay with 60

most important thing is the layout you want

[ancient vault]

I mean I could use the new layout too if the new hardware is well worth it

[hearty sky]

React love if your excited for 80HE ❤️

[jade widget]

As someone who owns a 60he and is buying a 80he probably not

I'm more buying for the layout

[ancient vault]

Ok thank you!

[lapis galleon]

the difference is negligible, just stick to 60% if that is what you're used to and like

[mint sequoia]

0.875ms difference in polling rate is super negligible, just pick a form factor you like.

[blazing wedge]

so it shouldn’t matter when you get your order in correct?

[upbeat berry]

?

[blazing wedge]

as in like you said there’s a lot of stock so if i get my order in as soon as the count down reaches zero and another person orders there’s a few days later we should get it shipped around the same time

[upbeat berry]

you get it shipped the same time

the batch arrives in 1 piece at the warehouse

[blazing wedge]

oh ok sick like i know with other companies like finalmouse for example they mainly ship their stuff out based on order number so the earlier you order the sooner you get it

[mint sequoia]

I’m just gonna order mine this Friday

[upbeat berry]

no such thing with us

[mint sequoia]

Batched shipping is a wonderful thing tbh

[upbeat berry]

the batch is all that limits you and then it only depends on how fast the warehouse can go through all orders once the stuff arrives

[blazing wedge]

so what happens if batch 1 sells out does the campaign end?

[upbeat berry]

no

theres other batches

[blazing wedge]

and that’s where q3 comes into play correct

[upbeat berry]

afaik no

q2-q3 is the delivery frame for the founding campaign

[sour knot]

Yeah but I saw that they will see what the option that wont sell too much and they will stop to produce it

[upbeat berry]

no

thats not what we said

they wont come preassembled anymore

[mild grove]

So if wie buy within the founders campain we will get our 80he q2/q3 ?

[blazing wedge]

ok hoping for q2 I had two more questions

1. As a wooting member what color should i get black or transparent black i need help deciding lol
2. depending on which version of the 80he you buy will it ship faster or is still batches for everything

[sour knot]

Oh okie .. I thought I saw something like that

[upbeat berry]

version shouldnt matter as far as im aware

[blazing wedge]

which color 👀

[lapis galleon]

smokey

[upbeat berry]

which ever you like more

[quiet atlas]

can we have a soundvide from zinc alloy? is it like the boog75? ;:-)

[blazing wedge]

i like both equally that’s why i need help choosing you pick for me

[upbeat berry]

we will post videos of how they sound compared to each other during the campaign i believe

[upbeat berry]

flip a coin after assigning one to each side

no 220

[lapis galleon]

yes

[blazing wedge]

woah howd you access that

[tight cypress]

€205 is without keycaps and switches
With pre-built you'll be able to choose layout, but not keycaps, they'll be PBT for ANSI/JIS and ABS for ISO by default

[tight cypress]

https://wooting.io/post/80he-founders-campaign-sneak-peak

[blazing wedge]

yeah i’ve seen that before it looks different for me though

it just lists out the stuff but i don’t see this

[vague stratus]

So when 80he will release

[mint sequoia]

Yes, it’s in the video haha

[vague stratus]

[tight cypress]

It's screenshot from video

[mint sequoia]

19ish hours

[blazing wedge]

tomorrow for pre order and delivery around q2 or q3 of 2024

[vague stratus]

Nice

[mint sequoia]

2025

[tight cypress]

Q3-ish, late summer

[blazing wedge]

smokey it is

[upbeat berry]

there is a more detailed price guide for everything and whats included in yhe pins of this channel

and the module variant is 205 without switches/caps

[tight cypress]

There are, but not with pre-built, you'll have to add them to order separately

[lapis galleon]

iirc prebuilt iso comes without keycaps

[lunar arch]

question , can the 80he work with a usb switch ? and will the software on the web or pc initialize it? or do i have to plug into t pc directly to configure it ?

[lapis galleon]

you add your language of keycaps at checkout

I think so

[tight cypress]

Yeah, you'll still have to install them by yourself with ISO

[lapis galleon]

your results may vary, you'll almost definitely need a powered one

[lunar arch]

i have powered usb hub/ switch and the current tkl one never works with it

[lapis galleon]

you should be able to configure it just fine from the switch but you may get random disconnects or keys pressing by themselves due to the power draw of the keyboard

[lunar arch]

okay

[lapis galleon]

the 2he and 60he have different colors so maybe. it'll definitely a different cable tho, since it'll be USB C to USB C with a USB A adaptor.

[mint sequoia]

It might be a similar color to their stealthy color on the detachable cable. At least from what I’ve seen of the marketing for the 80he. Though that’s just speculation 😭 who knows.

[waxen turret]

19 hours to go, let us all prep our bots to purchase right when it goes live 🤖

[knotty sable]

well it have screw in stabs?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[lapis dawn]

will the wooting 80he have a strap like the 60he?

[buoyant solstice]

It will not.

[lapis dawn]

that would be so good if it haas

[mint sequoia]

Pretty sure they said they won’t ship a strap with every single model of their keyboards because it’ll get boring.

[tawny flame]

the 80 doesn't even have a strap opening

[mint sequoia]

I’m aware of that

[lapis dawn]

idk, borring is cant beee that is something that only wooting have

[lapis dawn]

ik but i could have a diferent model idk

[knotty sable]

i wonder what case will there be for the 80

like after market cases

[tawny flame]

My 60HE strap is still in the box from when I bought it. Never used it

I forgot I had a strap until now

[knotty sable]

should i get the 80 or 60 module

[tawny flame]

both if you can afford it. I will have both

[lapis dawn]

use ir bro it give a difent look to the keyboard and its good to hold the keyboard from the strap when u travel

[knotty sable]

… pick one

[fierce terrace]

Is it disclosed how the colour is applied to the zinc versions? Asking to see what we expect how durable/long lasting it is

[tawny flame]

the 80 isn't even made. Kinda hard for people to pick one when it's not even made. ask in 1 year

[lapis dawn]

80he bro its new they change and they upgrade some things

[knotty sable]

i thought they gonna start selling tomorrow

[lapis dawn]

but the 60 is much nicer to play in i think

[lapis dawn]

u can pre-ordder tomorow but they only start shipping in final of summer like august/setember

[knotty sable]

well i mainly play val and fn so 60 should do the job right

[lapis dawn]

me to i only play val and i wanted the 80he but if its one recent coming so i prefere that new one

the 80he is faster but a human cant tell the diference but if its faster i prefer the faster one

[knotty sable]

there’s already 8k keyboards idk if i should go for those or the 60 module

[vapid storm]

60he still better

[spark hound]

Preference.Gif

[knotty sable]

is there any good looking cases for the 60? other than redux or the ala

[fallen epoch]

Paper plate case is the real endgame

[low token]

Nah cardboard case better

[fallen epoch]

Ill raise you a just straight paper case

[high scroll]

last 19 hours

[tight cliff]

Cases are preference too though as well as layout

[primal skiff]

Wait do we actually have to wait till august/September for the final product after preordering

[spark hound]

Or even longer

[primal skiff]

NO whyyy wooting whyyyy

[fickle silo]

They said sometime this summer

[dreamy sedge]

😄

[tight cypress]

Late summer

[dreamy sedge]

im playing on my old k70 from corsair the switches are oof and some even got a icetea sprinkle

[tight cypress]

Half of September is in summer too after all

[primal skiff]

At least i can still blame my keyboard for my skill issues until shipping starts

[fickle silo]

Fr

[primal skiff]

Or maybe ill just buy the 60he for now

[fickle silo]

I still have a razer huntsman elite I got in 2020

[high scroll]

i have logi kda i like the switches but i want something new

first time buying wooting

[woven drum]

im debating on whether i want the zinc alloy or PCR case. I want it to sound *thoccy * when I eventually get the chance to mod it

[primal skiff]

If u gonna go all out with mods, might as well go for zinc alloy :3

[woven drum]

true true

[tough mauve]

what is the correct size wrist rest for the 80

[tight cliff]

The one that will be available #🌟│wooting80he message

[spark hound]

Tkl is slightly larger and fits just fine

[burnt yacht]

Gonna tell my work that i have an important call to make at 15:00 tomorrow.
Bad or good excuse?

[woven drum]

got a whole 30 days to place your pre-order in chief, so ultimately thats up to you to decide lmao

[upbeat berry]

q2/3 is the current estimate

so april-september

once pvt is done and confirmed the date will prob also be more specific

[soft quarry]

i hate that we have vat in eu

[waxen turret]

Others also have vat, but have to add it afterwards.

[jade widget]

Only a 4 month wait is light work in the keyboard space

[pliant goblet]

I’ve bought the uwu in April and got it in August. I’m used to waiting on wooting products so it’s normal for me at this point

[waxen turret]

Plenty of time to try out the Q1 HE and designing a custom 80HE case.

[buoyant solstice]

Most countries have sales taxes. EU other otherwise

[woven drum]

yeah waiting 1+ years is the bare minimum anywhere else for a GB lmao

[upbeat berry]

every country has vat

[jade widget]

Think I'm safe in NZ as long as the item imported is under $1000

[low token]

2 years

[low token]

Well propably

[tidal drum]

Does anyone know how many units are going to available for preorder when the campaign launches?

[brazen iris]

But i cant order the prebuilt and add jades right?

[jade widget]

Module only I believe

[buoyant solstice]

Not for free.

Prebuilts include L45 pack for free. So you have both L60 and L45.
Module lets you buy one pack of any choice, and get your choice of L45 or L60 for free.

[brazen iris]

Jeah but with like a discount or smth? If i want it as the additional switch pack

[tidal drum]

👉👈

[buoyant solstice]

Jades aren't ours. No discount.

[brazen iris]

Aight thanks^^

[desert zenith]

Has UK pricing been mentioned?

[buoyant solstice]

Not in detail.

You can use 60HE as a price indicator. Since checkout includes VAT/Import duties for UK

[last wasp]

How much for 90 pack of Jades?

[buoyant solstice]

Find out tomorrow.

[burnt yacht]

Both l60 and l45 are v2's?

Planning on preassembled^^

[buoyant solstice]

[woven drum]

Im just now figuring out Jades can be used too?! would they have the same functionality as Lekkers?

[buoyant solstice]

Not quite

[low token]

Jades have 3.5mm right?

[jade widget]

Really wanna see how the new lekkers are

Was going to buy jades for my 60he but held of since I knew new lekkers were coming

[tidal drum]

Lekker dekkers

[low token]

Well less wobble and tighter tolerances

[jade widget]

Yeah I know that just want to know how they compare to jades in sound/feel

I'm gonna buy both so I guess I'll find out

[wary geode]

is there any info on if the coiled cables will work/ have enough bandwidth for 8k ?

[buoyant solstice]

They should work.

[upbeat berry]

its just usb2

[wary geode]

just wanted to make sure, i knew there were problems when people used bad cables on the original tachyon mode, i dont know too much about these things 😄

[jolly tangle]

im quite sure rocky said even usb 1

[buoyant solstice]

Not for 8khz
That's for dang sure 😄

[jolly tangle]

ooh that part I didnt read

[upbeat berry]

yes our current keyboards are 1.1

the 80he will be 2.0 minimum

[lapis dawn]

2.0 minimum what?

[upbeat berry]

not directly related to 8khz or not 8khz but the fact that our old keyboards are usb fullspeed not highspeed

[upbeat berry]

usb2.0

[lapis dawn]

ohhh ok

so thats faaster

[upbeat berry]

faster than what

[lapis dawn]

than the others usb? 1

[upbeat berry]

in theory yes

[valid comet]

question

[lapis dawn]

okkkkk

helloooooo aerobrakeeeeeeeeee

[dreamy sedge]

damn my sister went into my room and said that she will pay for the zinc version as my birthday present

zinc church ahooooo

[umbral locust]

Is your sister looking for a new brother?

[buoyant solstice]

[dreamy sedge]

sadly no we are full here in the house we got 4 cats

[desert quest]

but the L60's on the preassembled version are also v2 right?

[low token]

Yes

[desert quest]

Thanks

[woven drum]

my mom is paying for mine as a birthday present too 🥹

[marble ruin]

what a parents paying for keyboard for their kids lul

[umbral locust]

totally normal thing for a parent to spend money on their child

[dreamy sedge]

some families stay close even in old age 😛 but yeah my mum wouldnt buy something like that

[low token]

Well if you are passionate enough and ask your mother propably she would

[winter coral]

which has similar force like CHERRY MX SILENT RED = lekker 45 or 60?

[dreamy sedge]

maybe if wooting will make a mouse then im gonna try that

[marble ruin]

my parents never would even when i was kid they didnt have problem with PC/console etc but buying keyboard for that much they would go crazy 😄

[umbral locust]

45

[marble ruin]

but different times prolly 😄

[dreamy sedge]

for me it was a no brainer i saw wootility and my eyes were sparkling i fucking hate all the softwares from the big players

[winter coral]

ty - so the module would be better for 10 euro more..otherwise I would have to remove the 60 first in pre-assembled

[umbral locust]

Same. I want all wooting products just for the software.

[marble ruin]

finalmouse have software on web

@dreamy sedge

[umbral locust]

yeah but then I'd have to be a clown to own one

[dreamy sedge]

wheres your affiliate link xD

[umbral locust]

Correct. But you need to get a seperate case and keycaps as well.

So al depends on your budget I guess. It could be cheaper to just buy a prebuilt and swap switches out.

[winter coral]

yeah 330 vs 340 EURO

10 to remove everything....hmm näh

[umbral locust]

The module does come with the PC plate and screw in stabs, so it's really good value.

[marble ruin]

@dreamy sedge bruh they have good mouse 😄

[dreamy sedge]

do they ship to europe?

tax free

[marble ruin]

@dreamy sedge yep and another drop is this month

i mean i paid this and im in europe $203.95 USD

only problem is their shipping take a long

[dreamy sedge]

200$ for a mouse 😮

[umbral locust]

Did you forget what discord we are in haha

[clever berry]

which is better, the 60he or the 80he

[dreamy sedge]

80he if youre a robot

[clever berry]

huh

[dreamy sedge]

80 he has 8k poling which is less then 1 ms faster

[marble ruin]

im still not sure which version at start i was temted for zinc assembled but they still didnt show how it looks then there are also jade switches which depends on price will make me think about module and lastly plastic one which is safe option prolly

[jade widget]

I don't trust finalmouse with anything, they be capping on all fronts

[somber elm]

did they announce prioce for 80HE already?

[clever berry]

is 8k poling worth it tho

[marble ruin]

@dreamy sedge mouse has too and its mmuch better for mouse than for keyboard

[dreamy sedge]

200€/220$ for basic 100 up for zinc

[jade widget]

Check pins

[somber elm]

8khz is actually better for keybs than mice atm

[jade widget]

You ain't telling the difference fr

[marble ruin]

@jade widget yeah u need to always wait like 2 batches for QC issues and then expect little bit less but still i didnt see better mouse rn

and shipping take a lot thats another consideration

[jade widget]

They hit you with clickbait weight/battery life and walk it back and add more weight and than it comes out even heavier than their revised weight

[somber elm]

ofc not, but 8khz for keebs is kinda "free" in that it doesnt add more cpu overhead, whereas 8khz on mice do.

so better

[marble ruin]

@jade widget its like 3-4g heavier and they prolly clickbaited it without skates or not sure

[low token]

Also with zinc you have travel case included

[marble ruin]

@low token with module plastic it looks like u will have too

[umbral locust]

That's like saying a minivan is better than a ferrari because it can seat more people. Absolutely wild metric.

Your mouse is in constant motion, the 8K polling is a lot more noticeable there than on a keyboard. No one can type that fast.

Yes it could cause issues in some games, but that's doesn't mean 8K is better on a keyboard.

[winged pelican]

<24 h to go hype

[tidal drum]

Door dash for about 12 hours in a poppin city and you can afford the base wooting 80

That’s what I’m gonna be doing over my spring break

[low token]

Whats door dash

[tight cypress]

Pyszne.pl basically

[tidal drum]

Food delivery

Sorry I don’t know what other regions it’s in other than the US

[low token]

[tight cypress]

afaik Door Dash is US, Canada and Straya
Most of Europe is covered by Takeaway.com, so GrubHub, Pyszne, Thuisbezorgd, Just Eat etc.

[umbral locust]

Canada has uber eats and skip the dishes as well

[tight cypress]

Yeah, we have Uber Eats too, but is way less popular around here

[low token]

Halo glovo

[tight cypress]

On Glovo I saw only major restaurant chains, like KFC, McD, BK etc. Never saw smaller restaurants there
But you can order from Biedronka there, that's cool

[low token]

So, how I remember you are buying 2 80he's?

[tight cypress]

One 80he, one 60he, and whichever one my brother picks for himself, he's still choosing

And UwU for each order of course

[low token]

More wootings in onion land is better

[low token]

Each?

[tight cypress]

Yes
Currently I have 3

[low token]

You are menace

[umbral locust]

Why do you need so many?

[tight cypress]

I'll make that 40% made entirely out of UwUs

[umbral locust]

lmao

I was thinking numpad

[low token]

Frankenstein uwu 40% with 10 cables and custom case

[tight cypress]

16 to be exact, but yeah
I already found good powered USB hub, which can easily support several keyboard with Tachyon on, so that's nice
