[dim pier]

i think that it is already available but indeed the ghost and frost appear as special options so u might be right

[slow tapir]

Wait with the purchase do you get the extra keycaps? So I could potentially build a numpad ?

[alpine ruin]

bought the new one in frost and white kaps… still pissed about the absolutely useless lightbar… instead of just frkn touchpad for media control or a useful knob… but yeah the cake is a lie and I need the new one. This will be my second wooting. so atleast fkeys and arrows and delete button. So use it until a 75% comes out to replace the 60HE 🤣👍🏻

[dim pier]

I mean dont get me wrong. it is not a cheap courier by any means but they suck af

in my experience ofc

[lethal abyss]

postnl has been working well for wooting so far in most cases and for out of nl orders it gets handed of anyway

[jagged oracle]

Yeessh I feel like SEA is getting the short end of then stick not even being able to choose FEDEX as an option….

[dim pier]

you get x90 from both 60L and 45L

[slow tapir]

keycaps not switches

[dim pier]

ah sorry

[polar stirrup]

What case did you guys choose?

[jagged oracle]

Just wondering since the campaign is long, if Wooting can do a solid and add FEDEX as an option to Asia

[polar stirrup]

Im between zinc raw , white and ghost

[lethal abyss]

delivery is usually tied to the warehouses being used but you could make a post in #1141096226884956181 about shipping options

[jagged oracle]

Sounds good

[alpine ruin]

Frost with white caps and 45L hope this will look good

[polar stirrup]

They are working on asia warehouse but its been a while since i heard about it

[upper shore]

Ghost

[dim pier]

it appears that if you order the keycaps separately you get all for full sized keyboard and the price is the same as when you are ordering the 80he so i assume yes

[dim pier]

shouldnt be that difficult cuz i think that the production takes place in Taiwan

[dim pier]

same bro 😍

[quasi crater]

mark told me the zinc case weighs 2kg just so u know guys

[polar stirrup]

Idk been a few months they talked about hong kong warehouse

[sharp verge]

I went with raw zinc. Just for funsies.

[polar stirrup]

Perfect

[sharp verge]

Also like that the 60HE role overrides the 80HE lol

[dim pier]

I dont know why but i feel like im not gonna enjoy a super heavy keeb. I have corsair k70 with plastic case and its already pretty heavy and sturdy

[alpine ruin]

Question: They sell the custom coiled cable but it has male usb I thought the new 80HE has 8k true 0.125ms but only with usb-C???

[quasi crater]

thats the one i have too haha, and i was thinking the same

[runic rain]

Out of curiosity anyone here play a game that utilizes the F row keys?

[quasi crater]

wish they made an aluminium case, isnt that a bit more lightweight?

[lethal abyss]

usb2 is enough

[polar stirrup]

Why would you want lighgtweight

Heavy is good for sound

[alpine ruin]

Valorant, Dota2, CS2 etc

[quasi crater]

is it?

[lethal abyss]

also usb-c is just a connector shape not a speed standard

[runic rain]

What do you use it for in Valorant and CS2?

[dim pier]

i read online that plastic cases give more thocc

[worthy pond]

does it come stock with LE60s switches?

[sharp verge]

Most cables won’t be running at the max rated speed for USB-C to operate.

[alpine ruin]

I am not sure about this mate. They market it as highspeed USBC and I can remember that my old Huntsman needed a USB-C connection too

[dim pier]

in mmos such as WoW they can be handy not neccessery tho

[lethal abyss]

the previous wooting was doing just fine with only usb 1.1

[sharp verge]

Prebuilt 80HE comes with L60 yes.

[lucid karma]

High speed is usb 2.0

[lethal abyss]

^

[lucid karma]

You will need usb 2.0 for 8khz

Huge huge majority of usb a ports supports usb 2.0

I don’t think I have seen any that don’t on recent devices

[quasi crater]

ohh okay 😅 i really liked the sound it made with the plastic one actually

[runic rain]

MMOs are what came to mind.

[deft basalt]

Also rebinding to buy macros

Saves some time in the shop for some games

[alpine ruin]

Valo is standard F1 I believe for showing abilities (explaination), Dota for courier prob. etc., and CS2 for all my troll binds. And I can finally map Media-Keys to F-Row… I have a 60HE since 2022 and I miss those keys..

[lucid karma]

Iirc the main benefit about the coiled cable is lower power loss, the coiled cable is 2.0 and dongle 3.2 so both will work

[jagged oracle]

Oh wanted to also ask will these Gateron Jades be steadily available at the Wooting store or are they gonna be a limited time availability kind of thing after the campaign?

[deft basalt]

Should be steady available I'd confirm with staff though

[wary adder]

@nova nexus @fallow spire check PM plz

[runic rain]

Gotcha. I recently switched to the 60he from a TKL. Since I only used the F row for shortcuts to record gameplay I was able to figure out other binds to make it work. Definitely convenient to have it though if I ever end up playing an MMO

[empty matrix]

😄

[alpine ruin]

Hmm can you safe confirm and approve that you don‘t need USB-C connection with 3.2 for rapid trigger the new trigger goodness for strafing full rgb and 8khz/0.125ms? I am def. not sure about this statement their coiled cable will be enough?

[deft basalt]

Its on their website

[lucid karma]

Yes

[lethal abyss]

yes you can scroll up and they confirmed you just need usb 2

and the new rapid trigger stuff works on old boards too so not even usb2 needed for that

[frigid ravine]

i cant even type my direction into it, wtf

[alpine ruin]

the prob. is the more special binded keys you use the higher the input-lag is so you want as bare as minimum rgb on 60% no effects etc.

[odd tinsel]

Considering usb 2.0 standard was released in 2000...how old hardware is anyone seriously considering this for?

[sharp verge]

You don’t need USB 3 for rapid trigger and high polling to work lol.

[alpine ruin]

that is wild stuff. So I could try my special made portugese cable what I used for my old ducky KB 😃

[runic rain]

I’ve been running the 60he with no effects and no rgb. Also if I ever do use special binded keys in the future it’ll most likely be for non competitive titles that don’t require fast input delay

[lethal abyss]

if the cable is spec compliant and signal is good enough, yes

[lucid karma]

The question is if usb 2.0 is enough
Which it is as there’s no need for more than 500mbps for a keyboard as far as I am aware, unless it has a high res display on it or something

[haughty robin]

How do I get my discord role for ordering?

[lament saffron]

He is soundly asleep

[lucid karma]

Hub.wooting.io

You need to link your account

Then go to my account and click on the role thing

[muted glade]

test

[lament saffron]

Pass

[muted glade]

merge request

[lament saffron]

Failed

[muted glade]

😦

[odd tinsel]

Here's something on the 2.0/3.x for consideration: I have not seen any mouse that does 8k polling require a 3.x port. And by Wooting's own admission, the keyboard is not gonna be polling anywhere near as often as a mouse

[lucid karma]

Yeah you only need usb 2.0 for 8k polling

[odd tinsel]

So yeah, 2.0 port is fine

[lucid karma]

I mean you only need 12mbps usb for 1k polling

500 Mbps is close to 40 times more

[haughty robin]

Thanks I got it. Probs will take a bit to propagate here

[alpine ruin]

as said before that is crazy if you consider usb 2.0 is from 2000 but hey won‘t complain about that 😃

[haughty robin]

Nope I’m good!

[muted glade]

Don't worry guys. Optimum Tech will have a video on the 8K polling of the 80HE so fast.

[tight cypress]

2.0 have native 8k polling
3.0 doesn't have polling at all per se, as it is interrupt driven, however it can emulate 2.0s 8k polling as a part of spec

[alpine ruin]

ans I will be his first viewer xD

[muted glade]

after me

[alpine ruin]

okay tbh the first viewer will be himself

[worthy wigeon]

I'm gonna gatekeep my rol

[muted glade]

k

[haughty robin]

Wen July?

[muted glade]

July 2030

[ashen quiver]

a

[muted glade]

b

[slow tapir]

does ordering it earlier or later change anything?

[alpine ruin]

I can‘t wait to deactivate the stupid LED-Bar it‘s the most useless thing wooting has ever done prove me wrong

[ashen quiver]

[muted glade]

u did it

[haughty robin]

They should sell a LED bar replacement metal accent thing or something

[muted glade]

based on the 60HE, there were waves as the batches came in. I assume they will fulfill orders in the order received.

[worthy wigeon]

For me, it will produce eye fatigue

[arctic slate]

does the 80he module come with a usb? i ordered the braided cable from wooting with my module and wondering if i should cancel that from my order.

[muted glade]

sharpy ☑️

[ashen quiver]

it does iirc

[worthy wigeon]

The estimated delivery, is when it will be on our door or when it will be shipped towards us?

[misty basin]

it does

[muted glade]

it comes with a cable. You purchased a premium addition

[haughty robin]

The coiled cable is just for style. The keeb will come with a cable lol

[past patrol]

i just got my 80he shipping notification .. says they just sent from the warehouse

[worthy wigeon]

60 HE incoming

[delicate hornet]

bro got the first prototypew

[alpine ruin]

and I cannot wait to explain my fellow gamers when they ask me what that fancy Bar is doing… reminds me of the „blue light“ talk

[misty basin]

[haughty robin]

Yeah the best thing about the LED bar will be finding cool ways to get it the F out of my sight

[worthy wigeon]

I mean, there is something wrong with it that i will like to point.

[frigid ravine]

how can i link my order to my wooting account, i tried and it shows error

[worthy wigeon]

Razer have a progressbar inside their Software just to see the actuation point and a progress bar while the key is being pressed. Here in wooting they gatekeep it at hardware level...

[alpine ruin]

maybe I can custom mod the lightbar to touchbar or something more useful

[devout cobalt]

About to order 10 free switch packs

[muted glade]

VOLUME BAR?!

[alpine ruin]

you only get 1 no worries

[haughty robin]

As a founder with my voice being heard, please let us just have a non-LED version of the bar. If it’s a button I could keep that, but whatever info the light is conveying is unneeded

[arctic slate]

does the coiled cable just look cooler than the one you get or are there any other advantages?

[alpine ruin]

yes maybe

[worthy wigeon]

We all could have at software level a bar that shows the input of the progress... But nah, just let's gatekeep it on a LED which, can fail, and i don't know if we can safely repair it.

[worthy wigeon]

Yeah, just make it software level also

Please @buoyant solstice

[muted glade]

Ya its just a coiled cable. Purely aesthetic.

Is arguably keeps your wire clutter down.

[tight cypress]

You can just... turn off the LED bar...

[lethal abyss]

if you want a feature like that in software put it into #1141096226884956181

[dull token]

This will still have analog controls right? Like pressure sensitive movement and stuff?

[tight cypress]

Yes, it will

[haughty robin]

Then I have a gross white plastic skid mark on my black zink case

[dull token]

[worthy wigeon]

I created a github about it and i don't know what happened about it

But will do (again)

[soft quarry]

Please add the strap it looks cooler with that

[alpine ruin]

exactly. And I cannot wait to do this first place. Maybe I will take a screwdriver take the LED-Bar out and make a video about how useless it is and that it‘s THE worst thing wooting ever did and smash my foot on it ans upload to youtube for a statement 🙏🏻🔥

[fair kayak]

Oh yes please keep the strap 🙏

[haughty robin]

Honestly if the LED bar is easily removed it won’t be bad….

Would be nice to have an official zinc replacement bar but as long as it is possible to replace, that’s enough

[soft quarry]

Strap makes the wooting woot

[alpine ruin]

Maybe I will buy a white gluestrip and write F U Bar on it or something like that. Everything is more usefull than that bar

[fair kayak]

So is it just lights?

[quasi crater]

Does anyone know if the alloy case sounds like the plastic one? It's just that i like the look of the alloy case more, but i really liked the sound of the plastic case

[fair kayak]

No features for it yet?

[worthy wigeon]

Here is the github perhaps if many people comment it, they will pay more attention to it: https://github.com/WootingKb/wootility-issues/issues/258

[fair kayak]

Probably, it has the same keys in it

[alpine ruin]

What does the blue light do? Light up blue

[worthy wigeon]

Let's not make features gatekeep at hardware level please

[novel owl]

Guys i ordered on the US website but it said it doesn't deliver to Canada but then when I ordered again it ended up being on the EU store with the higher price should I cancel order and reorder again?

[quasi crater]

what case did you guys choose? :D

[soft quarry]

I have great idea for that light bar it can show health level when you play games

[blazing wedge]

guys when will we be able to put our names for the whole founding campaign

[alpine ruin]

Frost, White Caps, 45L

[haughty robin]

I have a great idea for the light bar too: remove the light bar

[fair kayak]

Probably best to directly contact wooting about that and not ask it in this channel, don't think they read everything

[blazing wedge]

lame

[soft quarry]

Bring the strap

[flint spire]

Does anyone who gets the zinc alloy version get the travel case with it, because it doesn't pop up in the order details.

[tight cypress]

NA warehouse only ships to US, EU warehouse ships to Canada

[fair kayak]

Zink alloy

[haughty robin]

Hey the light bar is suspiciously strap sized, go crazy

[novel owl]

Thanks

[blazing wedge]

plastic smokey black the best version tbh

[fair kayak]

Nevermind, they do read everything 👀

[alpine ruin]

or you just look at the screen which is in reach and you don‘t need to look down 😃

[haughty robin]

Yes. It’s on the official email they sent out that the zinc comes with travel bag

[fair kayak]

But rgb lights, why remove em? :3

[ebon sluice]

Thei light bar indicating how far away uber eats is one of the best features of this board. Glad it's there

[blazing wedge]

i wonder if they’ll come out with a new 8k 60he as well

[soft quarry]

Frost or ghost wich is better

[flint spire]

Thank You!

[fair kayak]

It did say it in the store page

[tight cypress]

There are no plans for it currently, but maybe, in the future... who knows

[devout cobalt]

Are the switches prelubed?

[alpine ruin]

We don‘t even have UberEats we don‘t even have Uber xD

[tight cypress]

All switches are pre-lubed in factory

[soft quarry]

@tight cypress do you guys have more pictures for both of the case (frost and ghost )

[haughty robin]

I’m probably gonna ask somewhere when the engineers are more active, but I really just want confirmation on whether the light bar is removable and a custom made insert can be placed there by the user.

[alpine ruin]

hope it will be a 75HE with media button/Touchscreen or whatever

[tight cypress]

Not yet, but we hope to have them soon

[alpine ruin]

both sick I think ghost for black and frost for white or mix it

[fair kayak]

My guy wants a whole drawing tablet on there 👀

[tight cypress]

You can bind media buttons already in Wootility

[soft quarry]

I feel like frost gonna yellow over time

[polar stirrup]

does that mean we get 2 cables?

[ebon sluice]

It's hand fisted lube, yes https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1186265045227802714/1217941025855897731/image.png?ex=6605daf8&is=65f365f8&hm=74c90e4e7ca1d473ac352e3e972cf29426b8469556ebf7ccebe0be32944b5242&

[tight cypress]

USB-C to USB-C cable and USB-C -> USB-A adapter

[haughty robin]

One is a dongle

[haughty robin]

Raise your dongles

[polar stirrup]

one is the case

[cerulean veldt]

G

[buoyant jacinth]

No, the what's in the box info on the 80HE page is specifically for the pre-assembled version, but if you were to get the module and our case you would end up with the same stuff give or take the keycaps depending on if you get them from us or not

[soft quarry]

I need to see both cases so I can decide but I don’t wanna buy late and then wait till September

[polar stirrup]

so the 80he module without case gets no cable?

[alpine ruin]

yeah but then the key is binded and cannot be used for it‘s purpose that is the prob. ans if you double-key to much keys the performance and input gets worse

[fair kayak]

I'm looking forward to the post card <3

[haughty robin]

@buoyant jacinth hey! Is the LED bar removable and can it be replaced with a made-to-size insert?

[tight cypress]

You can also use Fn layer for them

[ebon sluice]

Buy now and change later if you need

[alpine ruin]

No pls don‘t I love simplicity just a bar for press to start stop or slide for volume etc.

[buoyant jacinth]

Until there are 3rd party cases available, I don't think we plan on allowing any purchase of a module without a case

(Keep in mind the case comes with the daughter board which is needed)

[primal skiff]

For the 8k polling, are the cables provided enough?

[fair kayak]

Ah yes that'd be amazing

[tight cypress]

Yes, they are

[alpine ruin]

Sad I am not gay 🥸🤣👍🏻

[buoyant jacinth]

Hey, unfortunately I'm not a product dev so I don't know the answer to that question

I can check in with the team tomorrow and see if we can update the FAQ about that, thanks

[ebon sluice]

[haughty robin]

Thank you ❤️

[umbral locust]

Are there any decent photos or videos showing all the different case options? The website shows one extremely zoomed out picture when you go and click on the different options

[primal skiff]

Also im new to the whole founders thing so sorry if this is a dumb question but- for the founder bonus of:

name on website

When/where do we put that

[alpine ruin]

yes but then I need to press 2 buttons and I need to use 2 hands for this and this is not very smart I guess instead of just press an awesome wonderfull knob or touchbar/button

[brittle marlin]

Are the lekker v2 switches different from the current lekker switches that comes in wooting keyboards?

[buoyant jacinth]

Hey, afaik that's still a work in progress but we'll notify everyone when we are ready to collect what name you'd like to appear on the site

[primal skiff]

Oh nvr mind theres my answer^

[tight cypress]

2 fingers* - you can absolutely make binds to press Fn+key with one hand

[alpine ruin]

exactly and I could give wooting this info for free if they would just ask me 🤣🫣💁🏻‍♂️

[tight cypress]

They have tighter tolerances, so less wobble

[haughty robin]

I’m excited to be able to hit f1-f6 with one hand again

[umbral locust]

You can't do fn+f7 with one hand?

[ashen quiver]

the difference between the 45 and 60 is just the weight right? being that the number is the grams needed?

[haughty robin]

And the big one: tilde `

[primal skiff]

I feel like we should pin some stuff about the whole founder benefit things for people who ask the same questions about it

[soft quarry]

One thing I hate is that ansi cost more for no reason

[brittle marlin]

Thanks - are there any reviews / demo out already for lekker v2 switches yet? Does it come prelubed like the gateron jades? I'm still deciding between the jades or just going with the lekker switches

[dense ridge]

i want ghost case without this huge logo

[haughty robin]

I didn’t realize how many games I used ` as a bind in until I had to use 2 hands to press it

[tight cypress]

Yup, they are pre-lubed, but there are no reviews yet

[umbral locust]

It's criminal that we don't have more photos on the website with different angles, colors and cases. I didn't even know the logo was on it like that. That's tacky.

[umbral locust]

If you like the jades over the Lekkers I'd still go with Jades over V2s

[soft quarry]

Yes we need more photos asap

[jade widget]

How often you look at the back of your keyboard, seems pretty subtle to me

[primal skiff]

Do u know if the “v2” and the original version will be different products or is the v2 just going to replace original
ex: 60he to 60he+

[dense ridge]

every day when i am coming to sit near my pc

[umbral locust]

I don't need to look at it, just knowing it's there bothers me. I hate branding.

[tight cypress]

v2 is going to eventually replace v1

[icy latch]

q

[alpine ruin]

meeeh I would rather much love to see a knob at the FN button or somewhere else

[umbral locust]

I don't mind my TAKE CONTROL strap because it has some character, but just a big ol WOOTING is just lame

[primal skiff]

Cant hate the goat of gaming keyboards show off the brand with pride

[dense ridge]

@umbral locustit can be there but not so big bro... this keyboard is too expensive to have such a big branding on it

[umbral locust]

It's not about pride, I just like clean aesthetics. It makes it seem cheap when I am spending over $400 on it

[haughty robin]

Yeah branding is L. Hopefully it’s not present on the zinc.

[primal skiff]

Very fair

[dense ridge]

the same.. bro

[umbral locust]

I go out of my way to avoid branding on all my PC parts and clothing.

[jade widget]

Well eventually there will be custom cases you can't wait for those if you choose

[tight cypress]

There's going to be knob addon if you prefer to have it on your keyboard

[haughty robin]

If the zinc has branding I’m canceling it and getting a module

[soft quarry]

Replace it with strap agreed

[umbral locust]

I'm getting a buddy to make me a custom case with a strap addon but I'm allowed to give feedback.

[jade widget]

Leave it in the feedback section 👍

[soft quarry]

I wish that they asked if we want the strap like they did with the color option

[slow tapir]

if we change our order, could that delay our shipment?

[proper dew]

Bummed about the strap and the big branding on the keyboard as well. Sad to pay 500+ euros on a keyboard that’s almost advertising itself for me, but nonetheless the functionality of the keyboard is why I got it

[dense ridge]

where can i leave a feedback?

[rugged wigeon]

It sounds stupid, but I almost bought the 60 just for the strap…

[jade widget]

There's a channel for it on discord #1141096226884956181

[soft quarry]

Are they not able to change it

[dense ridge]

the logo?

[tight cypress]

500+ euros?

[exotic fog]

must be a VAT thing

[dense ridge]

i think they will be able but i am not sure that they will do it.. but that looks horrible 😦

[proper dew]

I almost bought the whole store

[dense ridge]

at least for ghost case 😦

[ebon sluice]

Nah the strap in unique to the 60HE, suits the small format better imo. The 80he with an overgineeredgineered Porsche cup holder would be super

[tight cypress]

VAT is included in prices in Euro

[proper dew]

zinc alloy, lubing parts. 1 free switch pack 2 bought, wrist rest oh god

[blazing wedge]

guys my friend said the smokey black 80he looks like a cheap membrane keyboard lmao

[ashen quiver]

ah yes, lube and straps

[proper dew]

[indigo bobcat]

Based on the picture?

[ebon sluice]

Lucky for him he can spend big and go Zinc

[gusty gorge]

will the 80he with ghost case be available all presale or limited

[blazing wedge]

yeah

[soft quarry]

Still things like that makes an unique in my opinion

[indigo bobcat]

It reminds me of the limited edition steam deck oled

[jade widget]

Well luckily modding is pretty easy

I'm bout to spend way too much money on some keycaps for this board 💸

[pine gate]

Any good videos explaining the different key cap options? Isn't the standard double shot the most durable?

[tight cypress]

https://wooting.io/post/abs-vs-pbt-what-are-the-best-keycaps

[soft quarry]

@tight cypress what the difference between the 60he+ and 80he besides the size

[tight cypress]

Well, the biggest differences are 8k polling and gasket mount

[soft quarry]

Is it faster

[tight cypress]

Sure? Not noticeable by humans, after all it's only 0.875ms of difference, but yeah, it's faster

[jade widget]

Well the biggest difference is the layout 80he has arrow keys and f row + a few more

[pine gate]

For budget reasons I'm thinking about the plastic case. Would it be very difficult for a keyboard noob (me) to upgrade to a different case at a later point?

[tight cypress]

Eh, doubt it - unscrew the case, pop out PCB, put in new case, screw back in

[marble ruin]

but it will be prolly more expensive upgrade later

cause of delivery and add on tax

[soft quarry]

Can you tell the devs to add more photos it’s important to see different angles @tight cypress

[tight cypress]

Believe me, I want to see more photos of it too
But they are not ready yet

[marble ruin]

for zinc are only renders 😄

[umbral locust]

Will we get some at some point bnefore the campaign is over?

[fluid fiber]

anyone know if the dye-sub pbt JIS keycaps are backlit?

[tight cypress]

I hope so, but I can't promise anything

[hearty palm]

Guys

I might be a little stupid. Is the Black Zinc Alloy Case a keyboard or like the chassis of the keyboard?

[tight cypress]

Link?

[soft quarry]

@umbral locust what did you get ghost or frost or the zinc one

[haughty jewel]

if i were to get the module, would fabric or whatever else be included or is it just the module case and whatever else u choose

[hearty palm]

https://wooting.io/configurator/wooting-80he?model=ANSI+/+Zinc+Alloy+/+Black&quantity=1&lang=United+States

[umbral locust]

None of them. I'm waiting for more photos to decide. Can't tell shit from the very zoomed out small photos on the order page.

[sharp summit]

Did anyone know if these would come with a 80HE Module purchase?

[umbral locust]

Leaning towards raw Zinc

[tight cypress]

That's the whole pre-assembled keyboard with Zinc case

[cerulean veldt]

wonder if polling is gonna affect jitter

[hearty palm]

case like a carrying pouch or like metal body ?

[tight cypress]

Metal body

[blazing wedge]

hey guys will the 80he have that annoying whine noise that the 60he had when you turn the rgb all the way up

[tight cypress]

And case and all of that stuff
You can't order a module by itself, only with a case

[tight cypress]

Doubt it, after all it sports different MCU

[haughty jewel]

so when u order the module, you do get all that stuff on that list too?

[tight cypress]

Yes, only without switches, you have to add them to order separately

[sharp summit]

Thanks bro

[blazing wedge]

i hope not i was able to easily hear it on the 60he

[willow forge]

Anyone in AU?

[lapis galleon]

it wasnt an MCU issue its simply due to how the LEDs work. I would assume if the LEDs the same and get to the same brightness the coil whine would still be present,

[idle fern]

Founders Campaign Perk
limit 1 free pack of switches! ........ not more ............

[lapis galleon]

I mean, theres only two different switches

[soft quarry]

Maybe they should add your name in the keyboard as founders perk that’s a good idea or emoji something cool

[idle fern]

buy 2 not free 2 shipment

[soft quarry]

@tight cypress is that possible to do

[soft quarry]

[tight cypress]

Well, one of the Founder's perks is a name on a website

[sharp summit]

lock this

[slow sedge]

what physically changed with the lekker v2?

[tight cypress]

Tighter tolerances mostly

[proper dew]

Less wobble, more tight

[haughty robin]

I wonder if 8k polling is gonna be an issue for Linux. I heard some things about high polling mice but haven’t looked into it too much since it didn’t affect me

[worthy wigeon]

If the led bar breaks can we safely repair it ?

[sharp summit]

metal travel case? for free?

[marble ruin]

nah its not metal travel case its just travel case 😄

[haughty robin]

Travel case (included) with (the order of the) zinc alloy option

[marble ruin]

@sharp summit

[tight cypress]

Nah, with mice it depends on PC itself, just like on Windows, and it's going to be the same with keyboards too
But 8k polling on a keyboard is way less taxing on PC than with mice

[soft quarry]

Gn everyone I hope we get some more photos by tomorrow

[buoyant jacinth]

They are not, if they were Backlit would be in the name

[haughty robin]

I made a thread in #1141096226884956181 asking this plus a bit more, maybe you can updoot it for visibility?

[lime falcon]

sound?

[grim thicket]

G

[gentle pond]

What’s the end force on the jades? Is there an issue where keys with stabs would have different travel dists (making them uneven etc?)

[simple ermine]

what does 80he but only 77.5 mean

[graceful copper]

The module comes with everything except the keycaps and switches, right?

[grim thicket]

Because the 80he is not actually an 80% keyboard it’s technically 77.5%

[violet garnet]

I wouldn't notice the difference

[umbral python]

We got scammazed out of 2.5% of keyboard

[lime falcon]

where is other 2.5%, literally unusable smh

[obtuse wagon]

If you need all those buttons you need a full size keyboard

[umbral python]

Should’ve been a 2.5% off coupon

[violet garnet]

True

[umbral locust]

You only need a full size keyboard if you need a numpad.

almost every thing else there is a layout for

[idle depot]

Will the lekkars always be 50% when bundled with the module?

[wary adder]

if you need a numpad just get a separate numpad.

[high ether]

numpad is useless

[wary adder]

^true i can enter data on the numberstrip or whatever you would call it just as fast

back when i had fullsize keyboards i used numpad for binds thats about it.

[regal pilot]

s

[kind pecan]

I just placed an order for 60HE+ days before…..do you know how to upgrade to 80HE?

[lapis galleon]

you dont, you have to cancel your order and preorder the 80he

[scarlet crest]

NC

[old birch]

guessing the 80he isnt wireless then 😦

[nimble elk]

.

[hot sinew]

It’s missing one key thats all

[scarlet crest]

If a wireless version is released, transmission quality will be an important issue

[idle depot]

Why is the LED not included within the warranty?

[lilac raven]

and thats why wooting said its not coming for a long long long time IF it even does

[scarlet crest]

True

[acoustic jasper]

Anyone got a coupon code/creator code for me to use

[lilac raven]

there are none

[lime falcon]

never

[lunar arch]

Can someone share if there is huge difference in a wireless keyboard and mouse vs wired ?

[prisma bridge]

Should I wait for 80he or get 60he rn?

[past patrol]

why would it be wireless

need the best latency

[graceful gale]

60HE OR 80 HE?

[lime falcon]

will never understand why would anybody want a wireless keyboard

[past patrol]

should wait for the 30HE in my opinion

[golden patio]

is this real chat

[lilac raven]

what layout do you want

[golden patio]

you can get more than one pack for free

[lilac raven]

no they will only give you 1

[haughty robin]

Not hard to understand. Ability to pickup and go. Think coffee shop, living room. Even if it’s wired up 90% of the time and only lasts a few hours when unplugged, some people love that option.

[marsh flint]

your order will likely be edited later on

[golden patio]

darn XD

[elder socket]

real, some people just straight up prefer wireless

s1mple's been playing on a 915 TKL for a while now

[lilac raven]

these enthusiast boards arent just get up pick up and go keyboards. theyre heavy, require a lot of bandwith, etc. a battery would just drain, etc

[final steeple]

Yep

[jade widget]

Own a wireless keyboard can confirm its plugged in 100% of the time

[haughty robin]

“Heavy” compared to what? Students are willing to lug around textbooks, and if it’s only for a few hours, wireless is great

But not worth the engineering cost

[snow torrent]

yup 🙂

[haughty robin]

I was just answering the question of “why” someone would want it

[golden patio]

unless wireless keyboard that could be charged with wireless mat or something i'd buy

[junior walrus]

Buying the zinc alloy version they will give to me the traveler case? Because at checkout I cant see it

[golden patio]

other than that, wired is always the best option

[lilac raven]

yes

[junior walrus]

Thanks to reply, I did it 🙂

[haughty robin]

I’m the same. People are like “but lmaoo slow charging gotcha!!!” Acting like just because a keyboard is wireless, you gotta use it remotely like every waking moment

[golden patio]

me when wireless keyboard, then i take off the body and see wires inside

[junior walrus]

Is factory lubed?

[haughty robin]

Honestly they should really do something about that. Traces and PCB components are bad for aesthetics

[lilac raven]

not sure if they lubed the factory

[old birch]

what the biggest difference with the zinc alloy and pcr ? is it the sound ? (beginner)

[exotic fog]

weight?

[elder socket]

in the video the CEO said that the lekker switches come factory lubed

[haughty robin]

Heft and a verrrrrrry slight sound profile difference in the lower tones. But pretty much unnoticeable

[exotic fog]

That cool touch of steeeel

[junior walrus]

Thanks for reply, I hope so! I cant wait !!

[golden patio]

especially they are selling transparent body

[exotic fog]

Bondi Blue transparent

Like it's 1999

[polar stirrup]

ahhh

raw zinc or ghost so hard

[zenith crag]

will zinc alloy case affect the sound of the keyboard? and are gateron jade switches faster than wootings lekker switches?

[haughty robin]

I can see the 80he being an endgame keyboard for me for a long time though, so I’m probably gonna hack together a wireless solution with a battery pack integrated in the case. Because I actually do have a tv in the other room connected by a long hdmi cable that I like to use my computer on.

[polar stirrup]

yes and no. switches just affect sound and feel

[old birch]

so whats the diff then hahahaha

[lilac raven]

all I have to say is good luck

[haughty robin]

I’ve seen people do it with arduino, and that’s probably good enough for my needs. Would be nice to just use raw components tho but probably not easily possible lol

[polar stirrup]

plastic vs metal cases sound different. and how heavy it is also affect sound

[zenith crag]

oh alright

[golden patio]

still no tkl though

[polar stirrup]

tkl overrated

[lime falcon]

tkl

[haughty robin]

Thanks. It’s mostly about the vanity and cool factor. And the fact that if I have a $400 keyboard, I wanna use it instead of buying a $10 one to use wirelessly when I’m in my living room

[golden patio]

😭

[regal pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/gonewrong-milk-pour-gif-21166527

[polar stirrup]

when youre in deep. there is no such thing as endgame, its a myth

[haughty robin]

Tenkeyless? More like tenkeylame!

[lime falcon]

what?

[haughty robin]

I don’t even have custom keycaps yet. Though I do have keycap sets... I’m partial to dolch

[regal pilot]

[grizzled apex]

if i order 3 80he, I will got 2 in the first batch and 1 in the second batch,or just put all 3 keyboards to the second batch.

[golden patio]

nvm you have to wait for all

i bought like 11 wooting uwu and that happened

[loud wolf]

what did you need 11 for

just a question

[haughty robin]

Now that I think of it… I might need to buy backlit dolch caps instead of just normal ones

[golden patio]

lets say my friends just paid me to do all the taxwork and stuff

[grizzled apex]

so in the past, if someone order 2 or more ,all keyboards will be pushed to the second patch right?

[golden patio]

i got extra for all that

[zenith crag]

🤔🤔🤔🤔

[pastel hare]

https://tenor.com/view/rain-chair-sad-gif-24080159

secured my 80he, life is good

[ebon sluice]

I got chu, homie - tkl still cool af after all these years. I need these Mictlan caps for Zinc black

[jade widget]

Believe in the livestream they said if you order 3 or more you'd get pushed to the later batches

[golden patio]

hell yea i love tkl so much

[jade widget]

Planning on putting some gmk dualshot in my raw zinc 80he

[grizzled apex]

so only ordering 2 is the best choice for fastest delivery

[old birch]

thank you

[ebon sluice]

That is a nice set minus the hiragana imo

[sharp forge]

yoooo

[round nebula]

If i order 2 80he will i get 1 switch pack or rwo

[verbal solar]

How do you get keycaps custom like this?

[jade widget]

Yeah planning on just getting the standard base

[ebon sluice]

They're GMK Mictlan(Noche Negra Base), Novelkeys and Oblotzky still has them available I think

[lilac plaza]

It's a long shot, but anyone know where to get replacement rubber feet for FC660C?

[valid comet]

Do we know if the RGB is better in the 80HE than previous boards? Also what about keycap shinethrough, will the keycaps on the 80HE be better for shinethrough?

[toxic zephyr]

there's nothing wrong with the lighting on the previous boards so I'll just assume it's about the same?

[golden patio]

dunno for sure but as for me I will turn off rgb in the end

[valid comet]

Prolly just me since its in photos but the yellow looked kinda orange idk

[lilac plaza]

For $300 won't this double as an RGB lamp?

[valid comet]

Either way its not a priority

[feral whale]

wrong chat

[valid comet]

#🔌│tech

[lilac plaza]

I think I'm just going to remove one of the rubber pads on the back of the keyboard and move it to the front.

then when im ready to throw out this blackbird TKL I'll snag some rubber from it

seems like a shame to junk a keyboard for a 2 cent rubber foot

[fallow spire]

You an also remove all the rubbers, then just buy these shallow silicone feet for chairs and objects and stick those underneath

[lilac plaza]

can't find anything thin enough

well for having the back feet flipped up

if you just leave it flat then I guess it does not matter, but I def leave the feet up

[fallow spire]

https://kbdfans.com/products/rubber-feet-pads-hemispherical-shape-eva-silicone-anti-slip

Doesn't need to be this one particular, but it's an example. circle shape will work with any backfeet angle

[midnight iron]

Did the base angle for the wooting 80he change? I recall it being 2.8 degrees before, but website shows 2 degrees for lowest feet now

[fallow spire]

2.8 degree is accurate, not 2. This might be an oversight

[lilac plaza]

yea circle might be better idk

[midnight iron]

ah ok

[ebon sluice]

would these work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OTNGPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-aWPBbGQAWFKW

[lilac plaza]

this place had a bunch https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805129083590.html

[lilac plaza]

I think stock is like 1.5mm maybe 2

[acoustic jasper]

I folded

[ebon sluice]

I'm waiting for the counter to be 9999

[fallow spire]

put on the list, will adjust the page. Thanks.

[golden patio]

does anyone know anything about gateron jade? and how does it compare with regular lekker and raptor

[acoustic jasper]

Hmm

[midnight iron]

better than both imo. They are 3.5mm travel though instead of 4mm - so you will notice slightly less travel (but it's personal preference there and some people like that travel)

[acoustic jasper]

@fallow spire will there be any special part numbering for founders editions? Like “#9809” on the case or pcb

[molten ember]

the sound test of the wooting 80 he in video which switches isit

[acoustic jasper]

Sound wise Jade has a slightly more muted deep sound compared to lekker v1, raptors for me sound exactly the same as lekker v1

[acoustic jasper]

That is nice, I’m coming back from using topre and EC

[zenith crag]

i think lekker switch

because its the default switch

[molten ember]

have they change the switches to v2

[zenith crag]

yeah i think

[acoustic jasper]

They should make it more clear it’s a v2 when picking out switches

[zenith crag]

they did

[acoustic jasper]

Ok that’s good 😂

Quick with it

[molten ember]

damn jades are like x3 the value of lekkers

[acoustic jasper]

Fr but cheaper here than on gateron site and Amazon

[midnight iron]

yeah i'm a fan of the 3.5mm travel too. Makes it feel same as my long pole switches

[acoustic jasper]

I’m going to stick with the V2 lekkers and see if it’s worth buying jades later. So far from the sound test, the lekkers are very much improved

[ebon sluice]

yuh I'm taking the plunge with Lek V2's, Jades are good but time for the new kid on the block

[midnight sapphire]

What keycaps are y'all planning to put on your 80HE?

[midnight iron]

yeah honestly their upcoming other switch project sounds pretty promising too, although no release date on that

may not be the worst idea to get v2 for now then decide if you want jades or whatever else is out by then

[acoustic jasper]

Semi translucent white caps like xray kit on kbdfans to match the frosted case

[zenith crag]

keycaps from my 60he and some plastic abs keycaps i got from the trash

10 dollars saved

[midnight iron]

oo i was hoping someone would do frosted case + xray pbtfans

[midnight sapphire]

ooh nice

[acoustic jasper]

Combo gonna be crazy

[midnight iron]

that's going to look great. I already committed to doing retro gaming theme but I still want to see what the xray set looks like on frosted

[jade widget]

What keycaps you gettin

[midnight iron]

lmao apparently a bunch of koreans and japanese bet on the valorant matches last night and if you bet on asian teams they won enough to buy an 80he

[opaque dagger]

Can i check if i order module and also prebuilt 80he do i get one or two free switches pack?

[midnight iron]

game 1989

[opaque dagger]

Why when i add the module to cart it wont show free switches like everyone does?

[midnight sapphire]

I'm planning on putting these bois with the raw zinc

[midnight iron]

you get 2 packs, hopperbus did the same

It offers the free switch pack on the next page if i recall right AFTER you add your own switches. Module requires you to buy 1 pack of switches to qualify

[jade widget]

You can

[molten ember]

wait for the prebuilt you get 2 free swith pack?

[opaque dagger]

The second pack wouldnt count as free?

[midnight iron]

yeah, one installed and a second pack is the freebie

[opaque dagger]

Because by ordering the module?

[midnight iron]

are you trying to end up with 2 packs of switches and 1 module + 1 prebuilt?

[jade widget]

This one includes both free switches 😂

[acoustic jasper]

U rich

[midnight iron]

if so then you'd be ordering the prebuilt which gives you a pack of L60 + free pack of L45, then add the module afterwards but you won't need to add switches there unless you want to end up with 4 sets of switches

[verbal solar]

e

[opaque dagger]

Kinda confused, when selecting the module, case and keycaps when i continue to cart for final review, it doesnt show the free switches pack

Is it a bug?

[midnight iron]

module doesn't come with free switches unless you add switches to your order

it's buy one get one free for the module orders. Prebuilt is the one where it's just a free pack right away

[midnight sapphire]

these new silver keycaps on Drop might kinda go hard with the raw zinc too, but the north facing LED might ruin it 😦

[opaque dagger]

But why i see people ordering the module comes with free pack?

[midnight iron]

because they added switches to their order

[ebon sluice]

If I go raw zinc then beige blanks, or black on black on black

[opaque dagger]

It shows $0 tho

[midnight iron]

who are you talking about?

If you buy the module, and add switches, you get an extra pack of switches for free

[opaque dagger]

Someone else’s one

[midnight iron]

they messed up then, they manually removed the paid pack and will get their free pack removed as well when wooting updates their order

[midnight iron]

it's a bug with the buy one get one free. You're not supposed to remove the paid pack if you want to keep the free pack

[opaque dagger]

This morning when i tried it, it worked but after that it doesnt work

[midnight iron]

wooting are manually going through and fixing the orders that did that

[opaque dagger]

Okay

So should i order now or later

[jade widget]

I'm a good boy I did not do that

[verbal solar]

what does the 80he but only got 77.5% role mean?

[midnight iron]

i mean if you're going to order anyway and it's not a money issue then must as well order now. We don't know how long batch 1 will last

it does seem huge though since they're almost at 10k orders and still on batch 1

[opaque dagger]

Can i ask what zinc case color do u guys go with?

White and white keycaps?

[midnight iron]

i went raw zinc because I'm cerakoting my case for custom color

[opaque dagger]

I see

[jade widget]

I'm also raw zinc gonna see how it looks and if I'm not a fan I'll also cerakote

[opaque dagger]

The module comes with the $10 pcr plastic case?

Is it better to include it since it’s $10

[midnight iron]

yeah if you pick plastic case it's $10

it's up to you though, I ordered both a plastic and a zinc case

[opaque dagger]

Thank you

Im quite indecisive since in the morning

[old birch]

which switches come preinstalled for the 80he ?

[opaque dagger]

Because shipping is $54 for me so i dont want to do any mistake

[midnight iron]

if you want 2 cases you basically have to go back out of the store and go to accessories and find the case by itself there then add to cart from there

[old birch]

does anyone know ?

[midnight sapphire]

L60 V2s

[jade widget]

If you buy pre-built it's the L60s

[ebon sluice]

saaame! I wasn't even going to buy one but here I am

[midnight sapphire]

for the prebuilt

[opaque dagger]

Ghost or frost which one better?

[jagged owl]

Just to confirm
Rappy Snappy in 60he? 👀

[ebon sluice]

ghost for mine just to hide the inner screws a bit more

[midnight sapphire]

I was gonna do that but I realized that if I'm getting a zinc, theres no way I'm gonna consider putting stuff in a plastic case, if I have a far more premium option

[verbal solar]

frost? did i miss a color? 😨

[midnight iron]

yeah I get that. I mostly bought the spare plastic case because I'll need something while my zinc is getting cerakoted anyway and it was only $10 after discount

[jade widget]

I'm just gonna use my 60he

[opaque dagger]

Which color u pick?

[midnight sapphire]

ooh ok, cerakoting sounds interesting 👀

[midnight iron]

raw zinc and ghost

[ebon sluice]

rappy snappy might just be the best tech of 2024, the name alone sells itself

[fresh sage]

I didn't see frost was an option until after I ordered, I went for ghost with white keys

[opaque dagger]

No free pack, how?

[jade widget]

I cerakoted my tofu60 for my 60he

[midnight iron]

if you pick the module you won't get free switches by itself

[ebon sluice]

you weren't tempted to go with the Bruce Lee theme? that would've been heat

[jade widget]

Was thinking about it but I change mice too often to commit

[midnight iron]

weren't you buying 2 keyboards?

[jagged owl]

Literally

[opaque dagger]

Yes i was just checking

[jagged owl]

So yes or no 👀

[opaque dagger]

If i add the prebuilt it does give me free pack but i need to remove the prebuilt then add module in so the free pack is inside

Does it work that way?

[midnight sapphire]

I didn't even know cerakoting was a thing for keyboards until today and now I feel like getting a metallic maroon coat for my raw zinc 😭

[midnight iron]

no if you do that it's a bugged order and they will remove your free pack

[opaque dagger]

Okay thanks sorry too many questions

[midnight sapphire]

just looked up the pricings for shipping in my region, think I'm gonna pass xD

[midnight iron]

if your goal is to buy 2 keyboards (1 prebuilt and 1 module) and end up with 2 packs of switches, then you want to add 1 prebuilt with your free switches, then add a module + case. Then you'll be at 2 keyboards and 2 switch packs (since you get switches pre installed with the prebuilt and you got 1 extra pack for free with the prebuilt)

[verbal solar]

is the 80he but only got 77.5% role the founders role?

[ebon sluice]

possibly with a firmware update, I dunno, man

[midnight iron]

yeah it's just the founders campaign role

[jagged owl]

I hope so

[verbal solar]

how do i get it? i bough the 80he around 20 minutes ago and my account is linked, do i need to go to a channel?

im new to this stuff sorry

[pseudo parrot]

Yes

[midnight iron]

go to the wooting hub, there's a page there to link your account to discord then sync roles

[verbal solar]

ty

[jade widget]

Luckily for me there's lots of custom cerakote places around in NZ (mainly for guns)

[ebon sluice]

wow

[fluid fiber]

10k

[ebon sluice]

oh there it is!

[jagged owl]

Wish I could join the party
Paty Paty

[midnight iron]

ayy over 10k

[molten spindle]

Test

[jagged owl]

Woot Woot!

[sacred light]

And it’s only day one of the campaign

[ebon sluice]

I don't have one either but the party is open

[midnight sapphire]

ohhh yeah I didn't check if there's any local services, just found a place, lemme request a quote

[midnight iron]

10k is insanely impressive. I remember the zoom75 group buy was touted as one of, if not the most successful keyboard group buy at the time and it was 10k boards that they softcapped it at and closed their campaign after 9 days

kind of insane wooting hit 10k in under 24 hours

[errant sky]

[golden patio]

am i yellow, nvm its not visible

[jagged owl]

The power of the UWU

[quasi vessel]

man 10k founders already, crazy

[violet garnet]

Idk if I want ghost colour or not

Is it just grey?

[midnight iron]

it's like a see through smokey plastic

this but without speckles

[hazy prawn]

Can’t wait for mine to come in!

[hazy prawn]

Same, I’m wondering how to get the role myself

[hybrid pine]

rip speckles

[midnight sapphire]

Go the wooting hub > my account > refresh rewards

that's all, then you should get it

[rigid falcon]

what does only got 77.5% mean? xd

[verbal solar]

founder role

[verbal solar]

fr i wanted it so badly 😭

[rigid falcon]

ah I see

[jade widget]

the kb is technically 77.5% not 80

[icy charm]

[rigid falcon]

wait what makes it 80? what is it technically missing? xd

[hybrid pine]

I wanted the rainbow speckle + transparent, but I don't even think that was a proposed option?

[midnight sapphire]

its not missing anything, its just that 80HE sounds better than 77.5HE

[icy charm]

It’s 77.5% cause it has fewer keys than typical TKL

[rigid falcon]

I see

[jade widget]

this is 80%

[rigid falcon]

aaaah I see it

[jade widget]

this is 75%

[violet garnet]

So it's missing 2 keys

[hybrid pine]

buy an UwU to get a few extra keys

[blissful fog]

wait so what is the led strip used for?

can u change it to be certain things?

[polar stirrup]

ZINC WHITE OR RAW SO HARD TO CHOOSE

[outer horizon]

Wooting

[violet garnet]

Imagine having the money to choose metal

[bitter vector]

Raw+Cerakote service

[midnight iron]

The church of the cerakoted 80he approves of this message

[violet garnet]

You were summoned by mentioning it

[polar stirrup]

i dont think i can do that where i live

[bitter vector]

Nice role name

🗿

[quaint dune]

80HE Module will include item 4~8, item.9 EPDM foam will be putted into the case

[timid abyss]

Ghost gang

[umbral pawn]

Black or white? 👀

[polar stirrup]

i think im going raw

[molten spindle]

I still didn't get my Discord role, even after refreshing rewards. I bought the moment it launched. Who to contact?

[arctic crescent]

How do you get 8k polling rate? Do you have to use USB-C, or USB 3.0 or something? What is the pre requisites?

[pine gate]

Wired mouse and keyboards never run out of battery. You can see clips all over the internet when streamers and pros run out of battery with headset/mouse/keyboard. Also there are no solid studies that proves wireless technologies in general are safe. Back in the days it was called Radio Wave Sickness but they changed the name to influenza. But that's a whole other rabbithole to explore.

Zinc black or white? I have never owned a white keyboard. Any users here have experience with white keyboards? Are the easy to maintain clean and white?

[polar stirrup]

whats the price of the cerakote service in your contry i found a guy but he wants like 100dollars to do it

[blissful fog]

what's the led strip used for?

[midnight iron]

it depends on country. Some countries have cerakote really cheap like USA, but some it's super pricy due to less people doing it

[polar stirrup]

yeah its illegal to mod your car or bike here so very rare

[umbral pawn]

Yo @fallow spire

Could you update the weight limits for Israel? and maybe give UPS/Fedex a shipping option too? if possible? Since it's faster (2-3 days delivery instead of 30-60 days x.x)

[wind tiger]

135€ btw

[blissful fog]

also guys what do you think should I get the aluminum plate+travel case thing?

[pine gate]

Zinc black or white? I have never owned a white keyboard. Any users here have experience with white keyboards? Are the easy to maintain clean and white?

[midnight iron]

I wish I could get it for 135 here. Mine is costing $200, but that's cause no one cerakotes in korea

[wind tiger]

[polar stirrup]

sheesh

[wind tiger]

yea also rare here, becoating literally has keyboards listed as their top option in services

[polar stirrup]

more expensive than the case

[midnight iron]

blame prime. His anodizing is too good and everyone uses aluminium normally so no point cerakoting in korea

[wind tiger]

[blissful fog]

should I consider the zinc case?

[wind tiger]

funny cause korean ano tends to be absolute shit

[umbral pawn]

I mean, same, my gf has a white Zoom65, and I have a black Zoom65, both are aluminum cases..

with white you got more options with vibrant colored switches
with black it's more muted, more "blacky", dunno how to explain it lol Im debating on it as well

[wind tiger]

I mean how much are you directly touching the case

[pine gate]

Thanks and the white keycaps are okay easy to maintain?

[midnight iron]

keycaps are easy to maintain

[wind tiger]

I mean you gotta take off any keycaps every now and then to clean

[umbral pawn]

They do get dirty, you do see it, and if you are around a dusty env, it shows..

but just try to keep cleaning them every now and then with water and soap, lots of tutorials on youtube on this

[midnight iron]

quick wipe down or wash cleans them unless you're dunking spaghetti sauce on them or something that stains

[wind tiger]

but unless your hands are REALLY dirty then it is no big issue even with white caps

in which case you should prob clean your hands a bit more

[pine gate]

If you want to spend a premium for a more premium chassis

[umbral pawn]

But since the keyboard is "custom", you can clean the whole thing, just careful on not cleaning off lube lol

[polar stirrup]

i have the white cerakeys they are easy to keep clean

[blissful fog]

I'm really debating it

[umbral pawn]

Are they fine for a wooting keeb? XD

[blissful fog]

def wanna hear the sound test just to make sure it doesn't sound bad with the case

[ornate bridge]

Does dried sweat stand out on white caps asking for a friend

[umbral pawn]

Plastic is plastic, and metal is metal.. the plastic will sound as thocky as the Zinc will but the Zinc will feel a LOT more premium

I have the Meletrix Zoom65, I won't buy a plastic case x3

[umbral pawn]

nah, with PBT? not as much as ABS

[pine gate]

So you would go for pbt?

[umbral pawn]

just get extra keycaps from Aliexpress tbh XD

[umbral pawn]

all my keycaps are PBT, ofc

unless it's a SUPER special design? then ABS? but standalone keycap/s lol

[midnight iron]

i am super curious to see if/when they hit limit of batch 1 80he orders. It's kind of crazy that it's past 10k orders and still batch 1 - that's one gigantic batch

[blissful fog]

honestly idk if I'd consider it but it also comes with the travel case

which is making me consider it a lot more

[umbral pawn]

I need to hurry up, and wake my gf up for this >->

but I need Calder to update the limit on my order and give me DHL/Fedex/UPS options ;-;

[polar stirrup]

id prob never use the travel case

maybe useful to store it

[umbral pawn]

Travel cases are nice

I use mine to store my extra keycaps tho XDD

[blissful fog]

yeah, especially considering I go to osu lans sometimes I think it'd be great to have

[umbral pawn]

I'd say.. get it, it's useful tbh
imo..

[jade widget]

i ended up with 2 60he travel cases

one was missing one of the velcro straps and support sent me a new one and let me keep the old one 😎

[molten spindle]

I still didn't get my Discord role, even after refreshing rewards. I bought the moment it launched. Is there a delay?

[jade widget]

did you link your discord on the wooting hub?

[molten spindle]

Yes

[livid talon]

It might take some time to apply

[vast phoenix]

Hmm

[still ingot]

I'm new to keyboards so does zinc sound that much better than the plastics one?

[blissful fog]

I definitely want to, just a price factor

[umbral pawn]

being it 100 USD more?

[blissful fog]

yeah

[umbral pawn]

My motto in life is.. if you can't afford it twice, you can't afford it at all.

[blissful fog]

I'm a high schooler without a job so I'd be using like all my money for it lmao

[umbral pawn]

going with either or won't disappoint you tbh, it's just a case

[blissful fog]

but also I am gonna start applying for jobs soon so idk

[umbral pawn]

Both are future proof regardless in some sense, Zinc being more "durable" cuz.. plastic is plastic, and metal is metal lol

[blissful fog]

id love to get the more premium option if I can

plus the case is appealing as well

[spice crater]

is this the discord chat for those who ordered the 80he?

[surreal wasp]

Idk

[toxic zephyr]

no it's for the people who got cucumbers at the grocery last week

[surreal wasp]

Do i have woothing 80HE role?

[flint egret]

Is the Frost option out of stock?

[surreal wasp]

Do i have woothing 80HE role?

[umbral pawn]

did you link your discord with the web?

[winter coral]

and questions ofc for potential buyers

[rapid slate]

How do I know that my discord reflects my purchase?

[winter coral]

yellow name

[umbral locust]

you have the 80he

[winter coral]

and you click on it

[rapid slate]

Yes I saw thanks! Can't wait for the 80HE. going to give my girlfriend my 60HE

[winter coral]

I'm going to throw my Corsair strafe in the bin 🙂

[rapid slate]

I went from a corsair to a ducky 3 to the 60HE

[spice crater]

hopefully my g pro keyboard will last till august when my 80he arrives

[winter coral]

otherwise 10 bugs board as cliffhanger

[ashen quiver]

does the 80he module come with stabs? 💀
it should right?

[winter coral]

if it breaks, simply use a cheap one as an interim solution

[midnight iron]

Yep it does

[ashen quiver]

ok phew.. thought i had to order some xD

[surreal wasp]

Yh yesterday

[umbral pawn]

ofc, screw ins

[rapid slate]

Do you guys think it will ship out by late July or Early August. it was at like 500 founders when I ordered

[umbral pawn]

batch 1

[rapid slate]

Oh Fr nice

[surreal wasp]

What time did u order? Bc i order 5 min after release

[rapid slate]

Yeah I was up ordering it right when it released. It was just having some small glitches but I got my order in

[surreal wasp]

Bc idk at what founders i ordered

[rapid slate]

I got the black zinc model exactly 7 minutes after it released

[ashen quiver]

[rapid slate]

[restive thorn]

[rapid slate]

Christmas gift is cool too hahah

[fathom abyss]

Is there a white ghost option? I thought the white ghost was supposed to be an option

[winter coral]

yeah me aswell - ended with two cases.

[rapid slate]

I got 2 sets of keycaps extra. i hope they don't charge me for both

[midnight iron]

That’s the frost

[winter coral]

those are getting cleaned up in the backend - no worries

[fathom abyss]

Yes, but I don't seem to find it

[midnight iron]

The picture on the site just isn’t that great, but the frost clear one is the white translucent

[midnight iron]

You have to buy via module to get frost

[livid forge]

Do all orders need to be shipped by at least early August?

[polar stirrup]

im waiting to see how the zinc cases look

[fathom abyss]

oh............ thanks!

[winter coral]

module -> case frost = white translucent...its probably very bright

[polar stirrup]

hopefully we can get an image before founder ends

[winter coral]

buy one, you can swap later your order / style

dont let you get pushed out of batch 1 😄

[polar stirrup]

dont you have to cancle and reorder to swap

i dont mind wait honnestly

[winter coral]

no, that was yesterday stated, because its only render

[fathom abyss]

Thanks! But disappointed the frost does not come with the fully assembled option

[winter coral]

Yeah but for me actually I bought blind module, because I "want" to build my keyboard for fun. its like lego 🙂

[midnight iron]

The whole country of Japan seems to be buying 80he lol - if you search 80he on twitter and sort by latest it’s all Japanese posts

[polar stirrup]

yeah i was gonna dissassemble to lube anyways

[rapid slate]

I wanted the silver looking zinc I saw but I would have had to build it. Maybe later ill buy the case. The black is nice too

[winter coral]

You grow with your challenges - will also be my first self-assembled keyboard. but honestly...how hard will it be? 2 hours of work, probably.

[midnight iron]

Honestly less than that easily if you’re not hand lubing switches

[fathom abyss]

Will it be more expensive to buy the Wooting 80HE after this founder's campaign?

[winter coral]

yeah you have discount currently

[midnight iron]

The actual assembly process is really fast and just a bit of screws here and there and putting foam in

[fathom abyss]

Aside from hand lubing, are there any other ways of lubing the switches?

[deft basalt]

Its like 10-20 dollars or so

[winter coral]

open box, lube in, switch in, closing box....shake shake shake? 😄

[edgy ermine]

ordered myself an 80HE! (campaign going well btw, saw lots of sales in 1 day already 😮 )

[fathom abyss]

Serious? It always seemed like a daunting tasks when I see youtube videos

[midnight iron]

Usually it’s lubing stabs and switches that takes forever but if you’re not doing that you can literally assemble the keyboard in like 5-10 mins

[young osprey]

will the wooting coiled cable be compatible with the 80HE/8K ?

[midnight iron]

No other way that’s good, but a lot of modern switches don’t need hand lube unless you’re particular picky

[winter coral]

seems to be, there shall be new colors around the corner....I bought one with 80HE perorder. Either I will cancel that position later or I will swap color over support mail.

[midnight iron]

YouTube videos are a lot of time spent assembling and lubing/tuning stabs. Unless you’re tweaking the stabs which come preinstalled already then it’s literally just a few screws, push in the switches/keycaps and you’re done

[fathom abyss]

The stabs are preinstalled?

[rapid slate]

Hopefully they bring in some really cool colors. I liked the black the best

[midnight iron]

yeah. stabs are preinstalled on modules

[rapid slate]

Does anyone know if they Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches are better than the ones that come with the 80He or its based on preference?

[winter coral]

hard to tell, no one tested v2

[livid forge]

does "1+1 free switch pack" mean if I can get one free switch pack only if I buy one switch pack first?

[midnight iron]

yep

[polar stirrup]

ye buy 1 get 1

[winter coral]

i wont pay that money for hope just to have jade....since wooting is working on further version for late 2024

[fathom abyss]

I noticed that all the switch options are all linear

[winter coral]

HE = linear so far.

[polar stirrup]

because a clicky adjustable actuation point is weird

[rapid slate]

ohhh okay gotchu

[umbral pawn]

it seriously is lol

[winter coral]

My hope is lekker 2.5 silent version 🙂

[glass wind]

is 80He as fast as 60he or faster? (Sorry for not looking carefully into the introduction)

[polar stirrup]

faster polling rate

[fathom abyss]

This was what I was wondering. Thanks for the confirmation

[glass wind]

Thanks

[thick peak]

it's gonna be a long wait

[violet garnet]

Late July 💀

[thick peak]

Can't wait

[rare kindle]

Facts

[glass wind]

Ship to China may be much later

[polar stirrup]

honnestly not that long compared to keycap group buys

[violet garnet]

I've waited 2 months for a package since it got lost in transit so waiting 5 shouldn't be an issue for me

[thick peak]

can't wait to see the actual photos of the zinc tho

kinda went on a whim for the zinc one

[polar stirrup]

ye waiting on that to choose color

[violet garnet]

Is the zinc really worth it?

[umbral pawn]

I'd say yes

[rapid slate]

Yes dude

[violet garnet]

What makes it worth

[polar stirrup]

gives it the premium feel

[umbral pawn]

Plastic sucks if Im honest XD

[median olive]

is better

[fathom abyss]

My Aluminium case keyboard is already super heavy, cannot imagine zinc

[red dock]

How so?

[umbral pawn]

Lol it's the same then...

[thick peak]

I am currently using the aluminum case rn and I already like the sound

[polar stirrup]

plastic feels cheap

[umbral locust]

The fact that it's not plastic. I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on a plastic keyboard.

[deft basalt]

If you care about gaming it doesn't matter

If you care about sound well it depends because different acoustics

[violet garnet]

So why not spend 100 more

[umbral pawn]

Feel, sound, looks. It matters

The sound you heard in the wooting video tho is plastic

the Zinc will sound a tiny bit different, but still thocky because of the PC plate and switch type/lube, stabs, etc..

[glass wind]

Above all, the difference between 60He and 80He is layout right? Maybe it has other like polling rate but main difference is layout (appearance)

[deft basalt]

Look and feel are the main reason basically

[umbral locust]

It's all about value. Besides, you get the travel case which is worth 30 dollars or something

[umbral pawn]

It feels more premium and durable as well, I own a Zoom65, so I cant go back to a plastic keeb x3

[deft basalt]

Yea

[thick peak]

I wonder if they are gonna ever make numpads

[umbral locust]

I'd rather buy a 400 dollar premium feeling keyboard instead of a 300 dollar cheap plastic. That's just me though. idgaf about sound.

[umbral locust]

I want one so bad

[umbral pawn]

I'm just also very aggressive with my keyboard, I carry it around from home to work (I do cybersecurity), so I need something durable..

[violet garnet]

Gonna buy a 2HE and an extra numpad

[thick peak]

I actually have one kit from winkeyless that I bought like 7 years ago that I still haven't assembled it yet

[glass wind]

But it seems to be friendly to not only games but also work situations though

[umbral locust]

I use a keychron Q0 plus but tbh I can't wait till i can replace it with a wooting numpad

[livid forge]

buy two

[thick peak]

got metal case but I have to hand solder all diodes for the switch, register for LED and RGB etc

it will take me good few hours XD

[umbral pawn]

I am buying two, but I can't due to a weight limit.. waiting for Calder lol

I honestly don't mind if I miss out on batch 1, I just wanna order 2 keebs XD

[jade widget]

wonder why

[glass wind]

Also LED cross-line seems to be tech XD ^^

[thick peak]

I guess the most current equivalent is Q0 Max now

that's a good price 119 USD

[umbral locust]

what does the max do? Wireless? or anything else?

I got an email that it just came out but i haven't looked into what's different about it

[thick peak]

I think that's about it I don't see Q0 plus on theri website anymore

[umbral locust]

damn just my luck, i literally got this like 2 months ago lmao

[thick peak]

nvm I am blind

[jade widget]

I guess them adding JIS as an option was a smart move

[fathom abyss]

Density: Aluminium is lighter with a density of about 2.70 g/cm³, whereas zinc is denser with a density of approximately 7.14 g/cm³.
Isn't the weight going to make you encumbered if you need to carry it around?

[thick peak]

I hope they add pink case in the future haha

[midnight iron]

just seems like perfect storm of japan suddenly embracing fps games and personal computers at same time valorant came out. So now they're all rapid trigger fanatics

[thick peak]

• custom keyboard scene in Japan is pretty big as well

[umbral pawn]

nah

Ill be fine

[midnight iron]

it's still mind blowing that the japanese stream for valorant tourneys get way more viewers than everything except tariks stream

[glass wind]

So what the match points u guys guess for PRX vs EDG ? ( valorant mentioned XD)

[thick peak]

maybe I will just get Q0 + for now. It will really make my productivity better

[umbral locust]

it will 100%

[rapid slate]

Is the rgb gonna be improved compared to the 60HE or the same? I read a bit but didn't confirm it

[umbral locust]

I love having a numpad around. I use a 60he but i have a numpad on the left.

[thick peak]

Or maybe actually take time to build the kit I have XD

[timber crescent]

if i buy the wooting 80 he in module

does the case come with the foam?

[polar kelp]

13:0

[buoyant solstice]

It comes with the same exact items as the preassembled model. You just have to put some of the major parts together yourself.

[timber crescent]

oh okay that's gonna be fun to build it my self thanks

[buoyant solstice]

We'll be providing instructional videos for everyone, so it should be very straightforward 🙂

[surreal wasp]

For modding keyboards?

[buoyant solstice]

For putting the 80HE together for module purchasers. I'm sure we'll do other videos as well.

[timber crescent]

i think its gonna be as easy as the 60he

[jade widget]

can't wait for the new cereal video with the new cases

[surreal wasp]

The 80he has 4 years warranty, am i allowed to smash the keyboard to get a new one for free in 3 years?

[buoyant solstice]

It'll be a bit more involved due to the gasket mounting and daughterboard. But I have been assured by our designers, that it is not a difficult product.

[buoyant solstice]

Weirdly enough user caused damage is not covered by warranty. Please don't abuse your poor Wootings.

[surreal wasp]

😁okay

[timber crescent]

my friend had a 60he for 3 years and dropped it thousands of time and this keyboard is still alive and fully working

[stone fractal]

I spilled hot chocolate on my old ducky keyboard and it worked keyboards are durable fr

[stone fractal]

The whole mug

Not doing that to my 60he 😢

[haughty robin]

We’re getting a free pack of lekker45s with the founder set, yeah?

Which keys do you guys think would be cool to swap?

[timber crescent]

im just gonna buy the module and then build the case my self with woods

[timber crescent]

wasd seems cool or just swap everything

[trim sedge]

when i was a little kid i spilled an excessive amount of milk on a laptop and it kept working

[haughty robin]

Honestly swapping everything besides modifiers might be cool

[deft basalt]

Yea warranty is limited to manufacturing errors most the time

[stone fractal]

I had a whole 500ml bottle of water just drown my laptop screen and it somehow recovered over the months there wasn't any noticable damage

[buoyant solstice]

Pack o' 45's with preassembled. Your choice of 45 or 60 if you get the module and buy any pack of switches.

[stone fractal]

Would 45g lekkar switches be technically slightly better for vsrgs

[haughty robin]

That’s gonna be cool to selectively put in some 45s… maybe even swap some in my 60he before I give it away to a buddy

[stone fractal]

than 60g lekkars

[trim sedge]

preference

I want heavier switches for osu

[stone fractal]

I mean I switched from cherry MX speed silvers to 60g lekkars and I don't feel a difference lol

[trim sedge]

well silvers have a very similar weight

[native salmon]

qquick q

[stone fractal]

Weren't they 40 - 35 grams?

[native salmon]

i ordered the module only and it doesnt seem to give an option for the switches

[robust stone]

hello new to discord, but i've noticed that when preordering 80HE - i sometimes get free L45 OR L60 depending on region. is this intended???

[trim sedge]

iirc silvers just have different actuation point from reds

[native salmon]

are you sure it comes free?

[stone fractal]

basically irrelevant with rt then

[buoyant solstice]

Like I said, you have to ADD a set that you pay for first.

[native salmon]

i see

shit me then, gotta contact support

[timber crescent]

no switchs?

[surreal wasp]

Im pretty sure u only get free switches if u buy preassembled

[marble ruin]

@surreal wasp nah u get even if u get module one and buy choose switches buy them and then u get extra

[hollow sigil]

Pretty sure also

[surreal wasp]

Anything i should know before modding/ lubing my keyboard for first time

[hollow sigil]

Take your time.. there is a video that shows how to lube from Calder the founder here

[buoyant solstice]

Calder actually, but yeah. It's a good video.

[jade widget]

less is more, you don't want to overlube

[hollow sigil]

Oh too early for me sorry xD

[jade widget]

it's a very time consuming process I just stick with factory lube in my switches now

[devout delta]

as usual, no love for other layout than AINSI.

[buoyant solstice]

In what sense?

[native salmon]

i misunderstood it :/

gonna contact support to get some

[hollow sigil]

I didnt lube my 60he ... really like it stock

[midnight iron]

but aren't they offering it in a bunch of other layouts/keycap options?

[hollow sigil]

Is it possible to add to my order a new item ?

I think the cyber teal coiled cable will fit perfect to my 80he

[buoyant solstice]

For the time being you'll have to email us at [e-mail] 🙂

[hollow sigil]

Thanks 🙂

[tranquil void]

bruh i ordered yesterday and it's not been delivered yet

[deft basalt]

Uh about that...

[buoyant solstice]

Vio's trolling

[tranquil void]

[deft basalt]

Its pre-order and isn't com... oh okay

[rain zodiac]

do u have prime ?

[buoyant solstice]

[tranquil void]

depends on the range

[rain zodiac]

yea i think they have a student discount

[tranquil void]

There are a lot of prime numbers yknow

some ranges have more than others, some have none

[rain zodiac]

oh im from california

[umbral locust]

Am placing an order tomorrow and I expect it at my door yesterday at the latest.

[tranquil void]

zamn

[tranquil void]

lol uh

[timber crescent]

do you have a 60he?
