[valid comet]

Maybe its just an error

[bleak dust]

i got the confirmation in the same email

i tried, didn't work for me

[indigo bobcat]

Made ask support

*mabye

[bleak dust]

yeah think so, thank you guys

[burnt rover]

woo hoo

[wild shoal]

anyone know if rapy tappy is avail on all wooting boards via wootility or just 80he?

[carmine viper]

It will be available on all wooting keyboards

[proven path]

I pre-ordered the ansi layout coming from an iso currently since im in the uk but looking at the differences im wondering if it would be inconvenient to have 1 less key on the left side. the ansi looks better and has better customisation, but not sure if the iso would be better since there's an extra key near enter and an extra key next to shift, not sure if i should change the order or stick with the ansi that's already ordered and get used to the layout, kinda confused at which one to go for

[hallow ibex]

all

[humble cargo]

all ARM wootings* has been promised

[carmine viper]

It’s pretty much just preference

[proven path]

the backslash on iso is a pretty useful keybind, but it might be a mistake to get an 80he in iso because in the future customisation would probably be a lot better for ansi

idk, online everyones saying ansi is better but i've never really tried it

[violet dagger]

Has there been a zinc sound test yet?

[graceful copper]

can you recommend me keycaps

for the 80he and frost case

[humble cargo]

I mean ansi is an american standard and designed for the english alphabet only really

[valid comet]

The sound test is at the end of the campaign video

That shoukd be Zinc Alloy

[analog grail]

it's not the zinc

[wild shoal]

meaning it's not currently avail for the He keyboards?

[humble cargo]

if you only type in english or languages using the same charset its fine, otherwise not so much

[analog grail]

customisation in terms of keycaps? Most either come with or sell an ISO kit

[graceful copper]

??

[high kestrel]

Dang why didn't they include a strap?

[brave yoke]

Pretty much everything goes with white except a different shade of white (e.g. beige on bright white doesn’t look great). Wouldn’t say the same with black (e.g. beige, brown, or brown-ish sets go poorly with black)

[valid comet]

Impressive

[analog grail]

if you want something really bright, cerakeys

[valid comet]

Would be sick for the carrying case

[high kestrel]

Yeah I love the look of it on the 60HE

[polar stirrup]

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-x-ray

[carmine viper]

It’s probably gonna be released when the wooting 80he campaign is over

[valid comet]

Im not too partial tbh but it is a brave aesthetic!

I would love the white wooting text on a black strap

[valid comet]

Brother is that you

[ebon sluice]

these would be pretty fire for the frost IMO https://dailyclack.com/products/dmk-ghost

[proven path]

i do only really type in english, it's a tough choice i wish i could get the left shift as 2 keys but still the cleaner design of ansi, but i guess i'll just have to think about it since @analog grail said the customization would be probably the same potential for both. ty for the replies i'll try to figure out which one i would prefer

[graceful copper]

they are nice

but very expensive for me

[polar stirrup]

yeah proper keycaps set dont get cheaper than that

[carmine viper]

?

[ebon sluice]

These are pretty nice too, the legends look much cleaner than ghost

[valid comet]

My name your name

[leaden geyser]

I wish I could chose between L60s and L45s for the extra switches with the pre-assembled 80HE, like I can with the Module. Or no extra switches and get the switch lube set instead for free.

[sullen sand]

I don't think the modules have them pre-installed

They are in a pack of 90, separate

[tiny tartan]

everything is already factory lubed so thats prob why its not an option

y'all have any good keyboard cleaner kits that you can recommend

[deft basalt]

Any ultrasonic cleaner should do the trick

[leaden geyser]

When buying the module you can select switches and you'll get another pack of same switches for free. With pre-assembled, it comes with L60s preinstalled, but you get a pack of L45s for some reason.
Some people may like it so they can try both types of switches, for me it's a waste because I probably wouldn't use them.

[sullen sand]

Either way you'll end up with both switches

When you buy the module and the L45s you'll get the L60s free

or vice versa

[foggy quiver]

Yoo that aesthetic is so cool. I really hope they keep the translucent cases i think it’s a cool trend

[carmine viper]

Holy shit

My long lost brother…

[leaden geyser]

It looks like I can choose which pack of free switches I get with the module.

[sullen sand]

Nah, you have to buy switches to get free switches

They don't come with the module

[leaden geyser]

I know

[inland star]

Very tempted to get the zinc alloy + the white keycaps

[sullen sand]

L60s are better anyway 🙂

[valid comet]

Good thing I got L60 v2 (pre installed), L45 v2 and Jades

All in 90s

[sullen sand]

Well Jades are probably better then

[tiny tartan]

v2 sounds pretty sexy

[chrome gazelle]

are the jades hall effect

[sullen sand]

Hope so 🙂

[sullen sand]

both switches are the same, yes... jades and lekkers

only difference is materials and closed bottom on the jades

[chrome gazelle]

hmm didnt know that just thought they were linears

ty

[dim sierra]

jades are 3.5mm

[sullen sand]

they're all linear in a way 😂

But they are both magnetic switches, not normal mechanical switches

[tiny tartan]

wasnt gateron making magnetic dual railing

[dim sierra]

i think they did

[valid comet]

They are doing it for the Q1 HE

[jade widget]

word on the street there's a new HE switch coming

so instead of forking out for jades now i'ma wait for that

[humble cargo]

they're all p much the same design, with very slight variations

[polar stirrup]

jades to temting for me

have to make the most out of shipping prices

[jade widget]

feel and sound can vary quite a lot between them though

[analog grail]

KS-20u

[humble cargo]

sure, what small changes you can do can still make a difference in those regards, but they all share the same design and function principle

i.e. a switch stem with a magnet embedded in the bottom sitting on a spring

[polar stirrup]

id still pay more for less stem wobble and better sound and good springs

not many options for HE tho

[humble cargo]

in a few years there will likely be an unnescessarily vast selection of HE switches to choose from just like the "normal" ones

[valid comet]

Jades arent dual rail right

[empty scroll]

I was tempted and got it

[valid comet]

No regrets

[empty scroll]

I didn't want to regret not getting it lol

[inland star]

The good thing is I have 29 days to decide basically

[valid comet]

We still know PCR ABS is crazy good stock with acoustics

[polar stirrup]

i might just get both plastic and zinc cases

[valid comet]

FURINA

[tiny tartan]

they arent

[valid comet]

I see. Ill be looking out for the dual rails with a clear top housing too :)

[tiny tartan]

i'ma just trust the v2s and think they will be better than jades lul

[tardy radish]

july

[tiny tartan]

is it july yet

[supple cliff]

I ordered the ghost 80he because I wanted a transparent case and now I see that there’s frost. Is it too late to change the order since technically it’s still pre prod?

[tiny tartan]

its not too late

[sullen sand]

Send them an email to amend the order

They will have plenty of time to do it for you lol, be patient with the response

[tiny tartan]

it seems like its still batch 1

[supple cliff]

No worries. I just got sad that I put my ghost order in since that’s all I could get in transparent and then check the page a day later and bam, all of a sudden there’s a frost option which tickles my aesthetic and old school tech feelers. ( ͡° ᴥ ͡°)

[tiny tartan]

frost was always there. but its only available in the module kit option

[supple cliff]

Wait… what? I only saw ghost and black in pre built. I don’t trust myself to build it myself. So frost isn’t an option for pre built?

[tiny tartan]

ya frost doesnt have a pre built option

watch a video on how to build one and see if you get confidence from that

thats what i did when i built my first pc. watched the same video like 2-3times

i watched my gf built a keyboard and it didnt look hard

[polar stirrup]

honnestly just a few screws

[jade widget]

building the module is going to be very easy the stabs and everything are pre-mounted

[polar stirrup]

and wooting will release a video to build it most prob

[tiny tartan]

i believe they said they will have a video ready

[valid comet]

Reminds me of the pokemon ruby gameboy cartridge but gray instead of red

[supple cliff]

I… don’t understand the logic behind that. There’s a blacked out transparent option in pre built. But… there’s no white transparent option..? Oh well. I’m not inept, I can build servers, laptops, 3d printers, could even do full suspension swaps lol. I just thought that if ghost is offered as a case in pre built, frost should be too.

[midnight iron]

Yeah it’s even easier than building a computer because the module already has the hardest part preassembled (stabs). All you have left is the simple screws and pushing switches/keycaps in like legos

[supple cliff]

Cost though, it’s higher to get the parts alone versus have it built. Least it was with 60he prices.

[midnight iron]

They wanted to keep preassembled sku to a minimum. Was easier to have just the most popular colors as pre assembled and leave the other colors as module parts

Makes it easy for them to add and remove new colors too

[vapid river]

o

[dim sierra]

blame the fact that u have the preference of a minority 💀

[plush oak]

what is the initial goal amount for the founders campaign?

[tiny tartan]

dont think they have a public goal

[supple cliff]

Oooh. Ok that makes a lot more sense. Well, I guess I’ll just deal with a semi cool keyboard. Versus extra cool. lol I did send a message through the support page to see what they can do.

[gaunt meadow]

is july next month?

[dim sierra]

yes -2

[tiny tartan]

it would've been nice if the led bar was touch screen

[polar stirrup]

its actually next week

[high scroll]

why cant august be tomorrow

[tiny tartan]

voume control, moving a window to the next monitor. media player. a lot of things could've been done with an led touch screen display instead of the bar

[high scroll]

yea but i think it will up the price a bit

[tiny tartan]

its already pricey

i wouldn't have mind an extra 50

[marble ruin]

wait that 90% discount on plastic case is normal or bug

[midnight iron]

You get a discounted case with the module, that’s normal

[marble ruin]

yeah but if people bought for example zinc and then they add also one plastic it has discount too

@midnight iron

[midnight iron]

Oh that I don’t know

[tidal silo]

hey does anyone know if i order the wooting 80he and other keyboards such as the 60he+ and two he together, would i have to wait till july to receive everything or will the other keyboards in stock be shipped out first

[midnight iron]

Does it actually allow you to put all those in and ship? People are running into weight limit issues with the 80he, particularly with the zinc added

[fringe sundial]

is there a plastic white one?

[midnight iron]

Nope

[polar stirrup]

Frost so white transparent

[midnight iron]

Think he means solid white case like the zinc white color

[valid comet]

Weight limit issues? Shipping or travel

[polar stirrup]

Ye orders has weight limits

[tiny tartan]

zinc case, zinc keycap

[midnight iron]

Basically weight limits for some countries. Calder was manually going through and increasing weight limits for countries getting stuck before

[valid comet]

I think im fine here in canada

[midnight iron]

Yeah if you ordered you’re fine. If you hit the weight limit it doesn’t even give you a shipping option

[valid comet]

I purchased everything and yeah I kinda have to pay 45 extra but I was fine w it

[tidal silo]

ye it gives me the shipping option

shipping to singapore

[winter coral]

I have two cases (zinc and plastic), hand wrist, extra corded cable…works in eu - no limit yet

[valid comet]

Are there any extra fees I have to pay for after paying for everything I need? Or do I just wait for things to arrive

[polar stirrup]

Maybe taxes depending if they were included or not

[molten arch]

Should be the final price on checkout, with fees and taxes included

[valid comet]

As a seperate payment?

I paid taxes afaik

[polar stirrup]

Depends if they included it

Depends on country. I have to pay it when it gets to customs

[valid comet]

Canada

[polar stirrup]

I dont know

[valid comet]

Oh I mean I will be told otherwise I suppose

[brave yoke]

Nope, if you are buying from Canada then you've already paid for all the taxes (import, etc) at checkout

[valid comet]

Great so its just the waiting game

[brave yoke]

yup

[polar stirrup]

Waiting is painful

[brave yoke]

:o what configuration did you get?

[polar stirrup]

Just forget until its here

[fringe sundial]

i dont wanna pay 314 tho

id rather have a white plastic one'

[valid comet]

• Wooting 80HE Zinc Alloy (Black)
• Gateron Lekker L60 v2 x90 (On board)
• Wooting 80HE Carrying Case (With board)
• Gateron Lekker L45 v2 x90 (Founders' Campaign)
• Gateron Jade x90
• Wooting 80HE Silicone Wrist Rest
• Lube (Switch) and Grease (Stab)
• Switch Tool Kit
• Stealth Coiled Cable

[polar stirrup]

Id rather pay 300 for metal than 200 for plastic

[valid comet]

I decided to get a bunch more stuff lol

[fringe sundial]

plastic is fine for me

[polar stirrup]

I think zinc already has travel case

[fringe sundial]

ive never had a wooting break on me

[valid comet]

Thats why it says with board

[tidal silo]

is the extra switches given per order or per 80he added

[brave yoke]

I'm lost? the L45 V2 are the founders campaign so they are free, since you bought the jades, what do you mean the L60v2 are on board?

[polar stirrup]

Damn u got all 3 switches

He didnt get module im guessing

[valid comet]

I got myself the Black Zinc Alloy prebuilt that has L60 v2s, along with a founders' campaign gift of L45 v2s x90

[polar stirrup]

I think im going both zinc and frost

Just undecided on zinc raw or white. Waiting on pics

[valid comet]

No module, just a prebuilt

[violet garnet]

I have a black mouse so I think mine will look weird with a white keyboard next to it

[polar stirrup]

My 60he is already black

[midnight iron]

I think wooting usually waited for whole shipment to ship didn't it? I can't recall if there was/wasn't a partial ship option

[valid comet]

Id rather get all my items together

[midnight iron]

i mean for him his order if he's getting 60he and such he'd be waiting months extra

[tidal silo]

I see. didnt see a partial ship option

[midnight iron]

might be better to do as 2 separate orders if he's doing 80he

[polar stirrup]

You youd have to split orders for that

[tidal silo]

yep thanks. trying to split shipment costs with friends cos its 60+ dollars to ship over here in sg ;-;

[valid comet]

Is the 60HE+ cable different in spec from the 80HE cable?

[bright crest]

Guys, should I add another Wooting Detachable USB-C Coiled Cable for my 80 HE? I mean, does the 80 HE come with it?

[tiny tartan]

comes with cable but not coiled

[valid comet]

No it doesnt afaik

[tiny tartan]

and i think coiled version is shorter?

[valid comet]

Thats why I got a stealth coiled cable

[manic shale]

wooting 80he does that mean wooting 80he+ will be next

[elder cradle]

Is the 60HE spacebar the same size as the 80HE?

[valid comet]

No because they dont need to

[midnight iron]

yeah

assuming you bought same format layout like ansi then yeah

[valid comet]

The only difference is screw in stab support

[elder cradle]

Ty

[manic shale]

ngl price cost so much in CAD 😭 but looking forward to using it. Also when you buy the module does it come with foams and silicone?

[midnight iron]

yeah comes with everything you'd need minus the case/switches/keycaps

the case comes with the case foam/silicone bit they said

[manic shale]

thanks for the info 🙂

[brave yoke]

Agreed, my wallet hurts

[manic shale]

[umbral python]

My god lol you Canadians get scammed

That order was like $360 US for me

[violet garnet]

that's $675AUD for me

[tiny tartan]

currency conversion

[violet garnet]

yea

[umbral pawn]

Looks beautiful

[valid comet]

Ikr

[umbral pawn]

I got dis

figured the UwU will be my volume up and down, and some extra buttons is nice

[valid comet]

Truly the setup

Bling bling

[umbral pawn]

I got the same setup but in white for my gf XD

Man my wallet is screaming in pain

[valid comet]

Yin and Yang

2 sides of the same coin

[umbral pawn]

lol tho one order is "late Aug" and one is "Late Sep" ;;
ordered em in the same time

[valid comet]

Batch 2?

[umbral pawn]

I have no idea

EU-Kampioen is the black 80HE
and EU-Brug is the white

so I guess

[lime galleon]

What does the UwU min key thing do?

Just extra keybinds?

[umbral pawn]

yup

Since the keeb doesnt have a knob? not a deal breaker
but I considered the uwu keeb for a while now, found an excuse to buy it XD

[mortal crypt]

how much was this order

[umbral pawn]

uhhh

[midnight iron]

might want to reach out to them on via email. I think you got flagged as bulk buyer on 2nd order

[umbral pawn]

566 USD

1132 USD combined or so..

[umbral pawn]

Ah fair

[obtuse wagon]

Can just wait for the knob attachment that is coming

Or wait did that get canceled with all the weird changes people wanted?

[winter coral]

No just no part of founders

But cancel is always possible if not good/worth enough

[obtuse wagon]

Well they determined it was worth it when they developed it, not sure if it got canned because of the arrow key placement

Not sure if that threw off future attachments they had planned

[burnt plover]

Just purchased this! My wallet is crying but my heart is super excited

Kind of sad shipping fees to Japan cost so much 😦

[obtuse wagon]

How much was it ?

[burnt plover]

4,600 yen or 30 USD.

Honestly not too bad but just wish there was free shipping for something this expensive

[cedar hound]

Knob 😳 Has there ever been any official info on this?

[cedar hound]

100€ Volume Rocker is crazy

[umbral pawn]

lmaoooo I'll use it for other uses tho XDD

it's a freaking cool little thing

[cedar hound]

I might just get one just for that purpose, its not a bad idea, just a crazy one

[umbral pawn]

there's also these small little buttons too that can be assigned

For example, a PTT?

Or a shortcut to open a program? quick and easy?
Or do all sorts of other stuff

focused left and right arrow keys?

[cedar hound]

Yeah true, but then 3 buttons are not enough

[umbral pawn]

I guess? but it's nice nonetheless

[midnight iron]

nah they said the arrow placement change wouldn't affect the knob during the whole discussion about voting to move the keys

[cedar hound]

I'm waiting for UwUwU so I get prev song, pause, next song, mute, full mute

[umbral pawn]

Where would that knob be? 😮

[obtuse wagon]

Now to just figure out what the other add on will be

[obtuse wagon]

You take off switches an replace it with a knob

[umbral pawn]

there's 6 keys btw on the UwU

[cedar hound]

Oh little buttons, now I see what you meant by that

[spark hound]

Knob. Knob knob

[umbral pawn]

I guess?

[obtuse wagon]

Not a guess that is what has been stated

How it works exactly, no clue, have not been privileged enough to see yet

[umbral pawn]

also my gf is pissed cuz she wants the order on her account XD
it got mixed up into mine because of that lol

[buoyant solstice]

We could help with that.

[silver wave]

what’s the difference between
the wooting switches?

only the force required to push the button?

[violet garnet]

l45 are easier to press

[verbal solar]

yes

[primal skiff]

Its just actuation force

[verbal solar]

they're both magnets strapped to a spring

[primal skiff]

45g to bottom out L45 60g to bottom out L60

[silver wave]

oh ok

which one do you prefer?

[primal skiff]

45 imo would be better just because it requires less force, but there is more control on 60 and less typos/misinputs. Its all preference really

[violet garnet]

how would the zinc sound compared to the plastic?

[silver wave]

maybe since the keyboard is sensitive, it would be better to use the 60

[mild grove]

You can use the 45 for wasd and the Rest 60 you are flexible

[primal skiff]

I mean u could always adjust your actuation point and u could also just make the L45 for your gaming switches like WASD E Q yk

[silver wave]

oh you’re right

[violet garnet]

I was thinking of doing that lol

[primal skiff]

Id still do L45 for all and just adjust actuation points for all the keys. Honestly the lower pressure makes typing so much less taxing if you do work a lot on ur pc

[grave willow]

Does anyone know what the default switches is for 60HE and for 80HE

[buoyant solstice]

L60

[grave willow]

Thank you

[haughty robin]

Are the switches hot swappable or am I busting out the desolder kit to change some of the switches on the preassembled?

[grave willow]

Can you buy 80HE with modded L45?

[buoyant solstice]

Hotswappable AF

[haughty robin]

That’s hot

[buoyant solstice]

Technically, yes.

You either get a preassemble and swap the switches yourself (a pack of L45 is included for free)
Or you get the module and put it all together yourself, including switches (since it comes bare)

[violet garnet]

I saw the video doing that with the 60HE. will there be another video doing the same with the 80HE?

[primal skiff]

@buoyant solstice do u ever sleep i swear i see u on here the most

[grave willow]

Damnit being lazy
Cant even buy it all put together for you

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-duck-cute-adorable-gif-14974530

[primal skiff]

Do u work for wooting? Feels like u do

[buoyant solstice]

I sure do.

[primal skiff]

How come u dont have that wooting role for employees

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/ninja-duck-fight-me-come-gif-27292247

Imma ninja

[primal skiff]

[grave willow]

@buoyant solstice please make a request for them to be able to buy the 80HE with L45 switches as default

[buoyant solstice]

No can do.

[grave willow]

Damnit

[violet garnet]

you guys should make custom keycaps

[sullen sand]

They have a special set of keycaps

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-take-control-5-sided-dye-sub-pbt-keycaps

[violet garnet]

oh yeah I forgot about that

[sullen sand]

Although I don't think there's enough there for the 80% one

[buoyant solstice]

Correct. You'll be missing the keys to the right of enter.

[sullen sand]

eh I guess you could do the F row and those keys normal black

[midnight iron]

You can change them insanely fast. Lubing is what takes time, but if you’re just pulling out and swapping new keycaps/switches in then it’s pretty quick and easy

[violet garnet]

you could buy a second set and use them for the rest of the keys. you'll have some spare

[fallen gyro]

hello guys! I'm ready to pre-order the 80He I just have one last question about the keycaps

[buoyant solstice]

Shoot

[buoyant solstice]

Hmm?

[fallen gyro]

Firstly it is specified that the keyboard will be delivered assembled with PBT keycaps, but the last option asks us to choose between "no keycaps" or "ABT keycaps".

My question is simply: how can I be sure to have the PBT keycaps?!

[buoyant solstice]

Right so - ANSI preassembled always comes with black PBT keycaps.

Any thing else, ISO or any kind of module, you have to specify any keycaps you'd like to include on the side.

[fallen gyro]

but if I choose ISO French , it will not ?!

[buoyant solstice]

Correct. You'd be given a box with the keycaps to put on yourself.

[fallen gyro]

but only in ABS ,

[buoyant solstice]

Also french only comes in ABS unfortunately.

[fallen gyro]

nooooo

[mossy lance]

you could get your own pbt keycaps and get the Module 80he ?

[fallen gyro]

if someone know good PBT keycaps for ISO FR layout , i'm the client !

[buoyant solstice]

Corsair makes a set "Pro PBT" which I believe you should be able to find in French. Also backlit

[fallen gyro]

yup I got it on my xtrfy K5 but they are not so good

[buoyant solstice]

[fallen gyro]

I will take the crossair one's to put on the wooting

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-thanks-thank-you-so-much-keanu-reeves-gif-21952233

Mansen big thanks for your reply

[sullen sand]

eh it's just slightly unfortunate that most european layouts are not popular with keycap manufacturers

[fallen gyro]

correct

[sullen sand]

I just use US layout

Even tho all my life I was used to ISO

I'd rather have the options for keycaps

I mean you can program your keyboard to what you need I'm sure

[molten spindle]

Test

[sullen sand]

It's not as if any of us actually look at the keys when we are typing

[buoyant solstice]

It's more of a cost vs profit problem. Opening up moulds for PBT keycaps is... REALLY expensive. And if there isn't an expectation to recoup those costs directly, you have to weigh that against the rest of your business.

[molten spindle]

Still no role 😦

[buoyant solstice]

For a company like Corsair - who sells globally, they need to be able to offer all of their keyboards - everywhere. Because that's the brand value. Even if some of the keycap options are a net loss.

[sullen sand]

Europeans need to cough up more money clearly

[sullen sand]

Is it listed on your wooting hub in your account?

[honest basalt]

any recommendation for gateron jade or no , i had used the v1 60 and v1 45 , love the sound v1 45 with switch tape mod

[sullen sand]

I feel like a lot of people prefer the jade sound as it has a closed bottom

[molten spindle]

Yep. And I can see the order in my profile too. Tried 'refresh rewards' many times.

Anyway I filled in the support form through the website, hope it'll get resolved

[honest basalt]

i do like very deep base sound as well

[sullen sand]

Try unlinking and linking your discord account

[buoyant solstice]

Very odd indeed. Cause you have the role for the batch.

[molten spindle]

Will try, thanks

[molten spindle]

I made my account after the order, maybe it has something to do with that. You get a mail that encourages you to register

[buoyant solstice]

Naw that's what 99.9% of orders are

[molten spindle]

Just did. Test.

Ah well, I'll await the response from the contact form

[sullen sand]

Then refresh? xD

[molten spindle]

Yeah I did 🙂

[sullen sand]

rip

ah well, it'll come I'm sure

[low token]

Discord api is slow

You have to wait

[frigid rampart]

Does the Alloy case come with a travel case? only asking as it doesn't seem to appear in the basket

[buoyant solstice]

Yep. All Zinc cases include a not shown travel case (I believe we're working to make this clearer)

[hollow geode]

does 80 he have spill resistant?

[polar kelp]

dont think so

[hollow geode]

shoot

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[hollow geode]

well that aint good for me T-T

[frigid rampart]

Awesome, thanks

[polar kelp]

ah well there you have it

[hollow geode]

WAIT FR ????? does it have everything that the 60 have?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes?

[polar kelp]

what does that even mean btw?

[umbral pawn]

lmao XD

That it's not a TKL, but has the "shape" of it? I assume..

[sullen sand]

the 60he is spill resistant but that doesn't mean it's water proof

[hollow geode]

i think i just saw jesus

[polar kelp]

Cause its not a true 80% for some reason?

[sullen sand]

spill a drink on it, it's dead

[hollow geode]

🙂 what does it mean spill resistant like -o-

[polar kelp]

You preordered too? Nice

[sullen sand]

basically means it might survive a small spill if you plug it out quick

[buoyant solstice]

If you unplug it immediately and actually clean it properly, it should be running just fine afterwards.

[hollow geode]

that dosnt help T-T

[sullen sand]

No keyboard is waterproof bro

[polar kelp]

If you want full resistance you have to go for some other keyboard (One I just thought of Would be the Roccat Magma mini)

[lime flint]

Jade switches or Lekker switches?

[sullen sand]

Well... 99.99% of them aren't I'm sure lol

[hollow geode]

its fine i will just try not drink 🙂

[sullen sand]

Just don't spill a drink at your desk

[polar kelp]

get both

[hollow geode]

yes 🙂 father

[lime flint]

Expensive

[polar kelp]

if you preorder the module you get 1 switchpack free no?

[lime aspen]

You need to buy switches but yes

[analog grail]

It’s the lekker v2 which might be ‘better’

[polar kelp]

well yea but you will have to anyways...

[lime aspen]

I believe you get a free pack if you order a pack of switches

[lime flint]

Atm Idk which Lekkers I have in my 60HE

[polar kelp]

irrc, its the decision of Lekker60, Lekker45 or Jades

nvm, jades arent possible as a free pack

[lime flint]

Might just order a couple jade switches off Maxgaming later so I don't have to buy a whole pack to try them out

[umbral pawn]

Worse case return them?

I got all 3 switches, L60 L45 and Jade

[humble cargo]

it'll survive a spill fine, just make sure you unplug the cable immediately, had a surprise test with half a cup of coffee getting dumped into my 60HE

unplug, take apart, clean and let dry ez

[lime flint]

Is there a big difference

[umbral pawn]

I believe so yeah, difference in how much you mash your keyboard and at what force

So there's lighter switches and heavier switches

45grams, 50grams and 60grams
L45, Jade, L60? I believe..

[lime flint]

I think I have the L60 atm cause they're the regular ones you get with the 60HE no? And before this I used Gateron INK Pink Box switches that felt nice

[umbral pawn]

It's more of a feel thing I guess? Mine are 45grams spring, JWK Blacks

I wonder how the L60 will feel like tbh, but I like the fact I can just change the actuation force, so it helps

[umbral pawn]

ye

So L45 should in theory feel "faster"? If I make sense..

Someone can correct me though, I never tried these switches before or dwelved too deep in this
but in a sense the less "heavy" the spring is, the less force you need to bottom out the key to type, aka the "harder you press"

[dim sierra]

its just easier to press down

[hollow geode]

mans a legend

[rancid latch]

Just received my Wooting 60HE+ (prebuilt). I expected worse quality. It built and sounds much much better than my DrunkDeer A75

[buoyant solstice]

[rancid latch]

Stock vs stock🌚

I’m not even sure if I should use it to make it better. It’s already good enough for me

[sullen sand]

With extra care from all those things that sound will stay for longer

[hollow geode]

some one should do a keyboard test of a 80 vs a 60 wooting keyboard

[sullen sand]

Without doing it you will lose that sound eventually

[hollow geode]

i need that sound quality so i can have the happiest moments of may lifeeee

[sullen sand]

And it will sound like the keyboard above

[sleek pelican]

does it come with cable

[buoyant solstice]

Yep. 6ft

[sleek pelican]

i forgot to check

nice, ty

[queen vigil]

hmm

[low token]

80he cable is diffrent than 60he?

[buoyant solstice]

Different wrap theme

Oh and it's C to C now. But it includes a dongle to make it A.

[low token]

What colour tho

[buoyant solstice]

TBD

[low token]

Alright i hope so it is not black and yellow again

[lime falcon]

why

[jovial thistle]

Is the PCR black translucent or solid black? It looks like just the ghost is translucent

[buoyant solstice]

Solid

[obtuse wagon]

Doubt that, Yellow was the theme of the keyboard

TwoHE had its own color cable also

What if its the dutch orange

[weary wren]

I already ordered the Wooting Coiled cable and received it. That is good enough for the 8k polling correct?

[buoyant solstice]

Yep

[dense yarrow]

@rare crane cmon now

[violet garnet]

what does the keyboard case look like @buoyant solstice

somebody can buy lekker* v2 60g and i but it

[violet garnet]

you edited the message and it still doesn't make sense

[summer rain]

he wants to buy v2 switches from someone

[violet garnet]

that someone is wooting

[polar storm]

I can only offer l45 og - I don’t need them 😃

[vernal quest]

nAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[lunar walrus]

Anyone got their wooting alrd ? Isit worth the money do u need to buy anyth extra to maximise ur keyboard?

[obtuse wagon]

Plenty have a Wooting already, just not a 80HE outside of the team

[lunar walrus]

How’s the original wooting

[violet dagger]

Pretty sure they said cable gonna match the case u got

[lunar walrus]

Accidentally bought the 80he while looking at their keyboards thinking if it’s worth the money

[polar storm]

I need to find out how to join a possible beta hardware test I guess

[obtuse wagon]

That I do not have, I own a 60HE.. did not even know about Wooting back then

[lunar walrus]

Ohh so was the 60he good?

[violet garnet]

considered the best by some

[polar storm]

Best Keyboard I’ve ever owned - Sound can be decent too

[sleek pelican]

imm gonna put some stickers on my keyboard of some inside jokes

[lunar walrus]

What switches does the wooting keyboard comes with

[obtuse wagon]

Mansen just stated its TBD

So guessing its still up in the air

[sleek pelican]

where should i put them?

im thinking bottom

[violet dagger]

Oh idk one of the other people who work at Wooting said that but maybe it hasn’t been fully decided

[verbal solar]

‘

[buoyant solstice]

#🌟│wooting80he message
Calder talked about the cables the other day.

[polar storm]

Maybe on the inside - since those are inside jokes

[obtuse wagon]

The right pretty much looks like the Stealth coiled cable

[lunar walrus]

Anyone know what switches wooting comes with

[sleek pelican]

lekker v2 or jades

[sterile walrus]

Lekker 60 v2

[violet dagger]

A lot better then just yellow and black already

[sleek pelican]

you can get 45 or 60

[lunar walrus]

Can u switch it ? Do wooting sell? How does it sound tho

[silk hedge]

You can search up all of these things on the website

[polar storm]

There’s even a sound sample 😃

[sleek pelican]

if you get regular founder you get a keyboard with 45s installed and a set of 60s

or vice versa i forgot

[silk hedge]

Still waiting on that zinc sound sample

[sleek pelican]

you gwt both basically

[rare crane]

😋

[sleek pelican]

and module you can pick jades also

[polar storm]

me 2

[buoyant solstice]

Yes our keyboards are hotswappable.

[violet dagger]

A lot are

[lunar walrus]

Is there a cable provided or u need to get good cable to make it work it’s best

[buoyant solstice]

A 6ft cable is included with the 80HE

[violet garnet]

so ppl at wooting already own the 80HE does that include you mansen?

[silk hedge]

Any news on the knob feature?

[buoyant solstice]

We have a few prototypes that's all. Ranging from a couple of years back, design prototypes with no hardware inside to more recent ones. Both before and after we did the arrow key readjustment.

[violet garnet]

ah

[lunar walrus]

So no extra stuff needed to buy to maximise the keyboard right

[violet garnet]

any chance for tech reviewers being sent early samples for reviewing?

[obtuse wagon]

Eww no dont start that trend

🤮

[violet garnet]

🤢

[sage reef]

5 months is the fastest, most likely 6 or 7

[violet garnet]

probably best if that doesnt happen

[buoyant solstice]

We'll definitely be partnering with influencers and reviewers. As to exactly when that happens is more of a Marketing question. Though it'll probably be around release, cause we gotta have retail samples to send - the very same that customers have ordered.

[lunar walrus]

Wait I just realised I got zinc instead of base how much heavier isit?

[buoyant solstice]

Well the Zinc case is 2100g give or take. I think the plastic case is... 500g or something like that?

[polar storm]

yeah i know - please DONT remind me 😄

[violet garnet]

makes sense

[lunar walrus]

Wait that’s a big difference

[violet garnet]

your package will get lost in shipping, you will need to wait for the next batch to deliver

[buoyant sail]

when we gonna see some 80HE Reviews?

[buoyant solstice]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[obtuse wagon]

They keep buffers for cases like that

[polar storm]

dont think so. staff said somewhere there are processes for such cases to get the ordered keyboard ASAP to the customer

[lunar walrus]

Won’t it make traveling with a plastic one way btr since way lighter?

[buoyant sail]

can i modifiy my order? the edit button says you reach the weight limit?

[low token]

How big was 60he founders campaign?

[violet garnet]

plastic doesnt include the case

[lunar walrus]

Case as in the traveling case right?

[violet garnet]

and carrying around something so heavy definitely needs protection 😏

[violet garnet]

yeah

[silk stone]

yes

[lunar walrus]

Haha was thinking if u carry laptop mouse mousepad keyboard u would just use a bag then isn’t plastic one lighter

[silk stone]

i dont get the only got 77.5%

[obtuse wagon]

What the keyboard is.. its not a 75% an its not a 80% according to some

Its something in between

[sterile walrus]

77.5%

[violet garnet]

all because 2 keys are missing

[lunar walrus]

Is the zinc keyboard for wooting heavy compared to other brands currently

[silk stone]

whats the earliest batch thats coming?

[obtuse wagon]

July/August if all goes well in production

[jolly tangle]

well dont count on it

[sterile walrus]

Inshallah

[narrow smelt]

Do we have video of light bleed for the clear cases?

[obtuse wagon]

ohh I am fully aware, I hope new customers are

[jolly tangle]

theres not

[narrow smelt]

Hmmmm

[jolly tangle]

maybe on a livestream they can do this. im sure it will happen

[midnight iron]

very heavy. Just the case alone is over 2kg

[silk stone]

think these will look good on the white case?

[obtuse wagon]

if you think it will, an end up liking it, thats all that matters

[silk stone]

im just worried about the color match, i may end up painting the case

[sterile walrus]

Powder coating is usually reasonably cheap for single items at most places.

[frank sparrow]

what switchs does the wooting 80he come with

[silk stone]

thats a good option

[midnight iron]

would look okay but retro brown/off white keycaps tend to not look the best in plain white cases

usually because the cases is much whiter than the keycaps

[silk stone]

ssee thats exactly what i was thinking

[midnight iron]

I have very similar keycaps, i'm doing raw zinc instead and will cerakote it to a retro cream or titanium

[silk stone]

is cerakote expensive to get into

[lunar walrus]

Ong I just realised zinc is so heavy is the plastic version sturdy?

[midnight iron]

depends on where you live. USA not so much. Other countries it can get much pricier

[silk stone]

i know alot of gunsmiths use cerakoting

[midnight iron]

yeah basically the huge amount of gun shops and such make it cheaper in US

whereas in korea it's $200 to do a 2 piece tkl keyboard

[lunar walrus]

Or damaged / deformed easily?

[analog grail]

plastic should be perfectly fine as well

[frank sparrow]

what switchs does the wooting 80he come with'

[midnight iron]

i mean plastic would probably be less likely to show damage honestly, but both cases can get scratched etc

[analog grail]

preassembled is lekker l60 v2

[lunar walrus]

Omg how do I change order

[midnight iron]

you'd have to email them. Are you planning to move the keyboard around a bunch?

[frank sparrow]

If i buy this one and get a free perk, can i get the Gateron Magnetic Jade Switches or only the lekker ones ?

[midnight iron]

only lekker for the free ones

[buoyant solstice]

You buy jades, you get a free pick of L45 or L60

[lunar walrus]

Any know how to cancel order for refund and switch order?

[buoyant solstice]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[fallen epoch]

Cant wait to obliterate people with my 80he on Wizard101

[buoyant solstice]

Someone literally answered you already 😄

[lunar walrus]

??

[frank sparrow]

why does the Zinc alloy case cost 100 dollors more then pcr Platsitc

[buoyant solstice]

Because casting a metal case ain't cheap - in materials or labour. 🙂

[frank sparrow]

do i get eny peformance driffrent with it

[fallen epoch]

No

Its just style points if you want

[lunar walrus]

Not sure but zinc is too heavy

[buoyant solstice]

Only if you're aiming to be using it as a baseball bat

[frank sparrow]

PERFEKT

[fallen epoch]

I’ll make sure to post my first home run when i get it

[frank sparrow]

does the Wooting Detachable USB-C Coiled/Straight Cable Set make the new wooting get more power ?

[buoyant solstice]

No.

[frank sparrow]

but dosent it make it able to use higher brightnees with tayon mode

[buoyant solstice]

Than the stock cable? No.

[proper dew]

follow up question to this, does the keyboard struggle more with power with the coiled cable than the original that comes with it ?

[fading sentinel]

any one know how long shipping is to the netherlands?

[buoyant solstice]

Still no.

[proper dew]

I read somewhere on this server that previously wooting would have trouble with power with the coiled cable and the solution was the reduce the rgb

alright ty

[buoyant solstice]

With THIRD PARTY cables. 🙂

[elfin dock]

How long is the stock cable?

[sterile walrus]

Hand delivered by a member of the Wooting staff on a velvet pillow.

[buoyant solstice]

6ft

[frank sparrow]

so the wooting 80he dosent have same truble as the wooting 60he with this

[buoyant solstice]

Never said that.

[proper dew]

I ordered in the first 20 minute of the opening of the campaign and my order is schedule to be delivered around the end of july

[frank sparrow]

thats what im trying to ask

[proper dew]

and im in the netherlands

[fading sentinel]

alr

[buoyant solstice]

It is the same as the 60HE.

Using a third part cable MAY have issues when combining Tachyon mode with high LED brightness. -OUR- cables do not have these issues.

[low token]

Mine my early august around 2.5k founders

[icy cosmos]

If you’re speaking in HiFi terms. You should get custom made cables with exotic materials to the exact lengths. The electric signals always prefer the shortest distance 😉

[sterile walrus]

I'd like to add that there are plenty of QUALITY 3rd party vendors who make custom cables that won't have this issue.

[frank sparrow]

but i am useing the regular on

[pseudo quiver]

400 founders also arund august

[buoyant solstice]

Okay? And? 🙂

[sterile walrus]

Obviously I'm talking about this for those who are trying to match a build

[obtuse wagon]

There is, but Wooting doesnt want to gurantee anything, you have spent enough time in here, wouldnt turn out well

Somehow that would be Wootings fault an not the customer or the cable maker

[low token]

If I get custom cable in same specs as wooting. It will be fine?

[fading sentinel]

how do i claim my rol from buying 80He

[sterile walrus]

Oh I'm aware. I just wanted to point out that good customs exist.

[buoyant solstice]

Theoretically.

[frank sparrow]

Thanks for you help, did not even read my own picture right

[proper dew]

on the wooting hub!

[fading sentinel]

realist the spraying of the color into teh case ?

i think yes

[obtuse wagon]

Huh

[icy cosmos]

That’s nice Gameboy color vibe

[silk hedge]

What?

[vernal quest]

the color gonna do this no ?

[midnight iron]

did you manually go through and write over every key in that photo?

that's some dedication

[buoyant solstice]

You'd have to ask someone experienced with spray painting clear plastic.

[midnight iron]

i am upset that you didn't do the < key though

[fallen epoch]

Everyone forgets

[silk hedge]

I think he means rgb shine through

[vernal quest]

exactly

[buoyant solstice]

I don't see how. The case doesn't have RGB underglow at all.

[low token]

80he cable is 2 meters?

[buoyant solstice]

1.8ish

[low token]

Oh ok

[buoyant solstice]

None of that is underglow. That's all light being reflected back down onto the switch plate.

[silk hedge]

I know but thats my interpretation of what he said

[sterile walrus]

I thought you folks in TulipLand used the metric system.

[buoyant solstice]

I live in Sand Germany, not Swamp Germany. Also 6ft is just the industry standard. Which is approx 1.8m

[sterile walrus]

LOL

[silk hedge]

Sand germany?

what about this is the right shining of a led inside the keyboard ?

@vernal questno bro i think there will not be any rgb ( in the case.. even near the switches )

[merry grotto]

I live next to NL border in Germany - we spent a lot of times there for vacation - its beautiful and not far away - and don't worry I'm to poor to buy your beach homes 😄 I leave after a week again

ahahaha

It's very common to see Germans here where I live. A lot of Germans come here with their family to have a beach vacation or at least be near the waters here

[vernal quest]

@dense ridge its the switches led do taht no rgb in the case itself

like that

Well I believe I read it would have functions

Maybe I’m wrong idk

[fallen epoch]

A few functions, pretty sure one for rappy snappy i think?

Don’t remember, take my word with a mass amount of salt

[gilded horizon]

Yeah no biggie was just curious 🙂

Can’t wait for the white zinc keeb to arrive

[upbeat berry]

it will have usecases which we will talk about at a later point

[gilded horizon]

Awesome thanks for answer ❤️

[fallen epoch]

Yeah im getting a zinc case at a later date personally , ghost was too cool to pass up

[gilded horizon]

I like the ghost one too but I just couldn’t pass up on the white zinc haha

[low token]

It is not a long time

[fallen epoch]

Get 2 boards one zinc and one ghost

[gilded horizon]

It’s a lot of money bro 😂

I had to only buy one haha I also bought the boog75 keyboard and the polar65 neo tokyo this month already 😂

Cant let my s/o know what caused that weird 200 dollar bill

[gilded horizon]

🤣🤣

Honestly if there’s any company I will support as kickstarter it’s wooting

Love how they communicate with the community etc

[fallen epoch]

Agreed

[gilded horizon]

I wonder if my prebuilt will come with the jades I ordered or the free pack of L45 switches lol

[low token]

Sell boog and polar

[gilded horizon]

Naah no way :p I like those two aswell

[low token]

It will come with l60

[gilded horizon]

Oh so it will still come with L60 even tho I picked L45 as freebie ?

[jade widget]

@gilded horizon ain't selling nothing man's got a museum of peripherals

[low token]

L45 is free

[gilded horizon]

@jade widget oh hey bro

Truuu

Oh nice wasn’t aware of that

Im making my two he my travel buddy when the 80 gets here

Dont ask how its gonna travel with me, i dont know either

I think I’m around 30 keyboards now where like 10 of them are Hall effects 😂

[low token]

How much gmk keycaps

[gilded horizon]

Tbh I don’t have that many keycaps I got a few pairs

And those who came with the boards ofc

I kinda want the bow white keycaps for the white zinc but I did order white wooting keycaps with it too so idk

[fallen epoch]

I havent gotten a gmk set yet

Waiting for a mocha or just any coffee set that is gmk

[jade widget]

I got some gmk wob on my 60he

Planning on getting gmk dualshot 2 for my 80he with raw zinc case

[gilded horizon]

I kinda want wooting 60he+ pcb too but idk since I already have original

And I think the stabs are fine on it so yeah

[jade widget]

Just put the new lekkers in it I reckon it'll be good to go

[gilded horizon]

Yeah I use jades in my 60he tho and they’re sweet

[jade widget]

Well I imagine there's going to be a bunch of HE switches coming out over the new year or two

[gilded horizon]

For sure yeah I just can’t imagine them being much better

So I’ll see if I’m gonna use the L60, L45 or the jades in the 80he

[foggy quiver]

Just order the ghost case separately

[gilded horizon]

Yeah I’ll prolly order a ghost too sometime

[jade widget]

If you order the module I think you can get the PCR case for like $10

[gilded horizon]

Already paid 463 euros for my 80he order 😂

[fallen epoch]

When i get a zinc i just know imma be there watching the guide for a few hours

[shell heath]

i try for me dont work maybe was a bug and now if it is like that im gonna cry for 2weeks in a row

[foggy quiver]

Yeah but only if you don’t get another case. If you get 2 cases only 1 will be discounted

[foggy quiver]

I just checked it still works. $10 for pcr case if you get the module

[supple dune]

I kinda missed that in the order options.. so I went for prebuild with Ghost.. I would have gone for module with Frost and Ghost otherwise

[sullen sand]

is one of them that wild finalmouse thing

[gilded horizon]

It’s not out yet but yes I have the card so I’ll order as soon as possible

[sullen sand]

nice

[old saddle]

anyone else ordered extra 80he cases?

cant make up my mine with ghost or frost

[jolly tangle]

frost is module exclusive

[old saddle]

yeah i bought the module kit

[dim pier]

i got frost, it appears to be transparent

[buoyant solstice]

Translucent.

[jolly tangle]

transparant translucent

both

[buoyant solstice]

Transparent means it's clear. Translucent means it's not entire clear. Like a frosted effect or a blur.

[jolly tangle]

I do wish the frost was a bit of a whiter tone

[humble cargo]

I'd be down for that frosted case

[jolly tangle]

in any case I get white zinc alloy >.>

mansen what are u getting

[buoyant solstice]

Mmm...not sure. Probably the raw zinc, since it's the closest to a "grey" like the MAO case of any. And a spare plastic case to get comfortable with the plastic clips holding that one together

[digital elm]

Do you guys recon I should be getting L45 or L60 with Jades?

[jolly tangle]

what about a frost bottom and a zinc alloy raw top

employee exclusive

[buoyant solstice]

Unfortunately you can't mix PCR and Zinc. Different mounting mechanisms. 🙂

[jolly tangle]

ah TIL

[humble cargo]

would make more sense having a zinc base and frosted top end imo

[real gulch]

would spray painting the plate cause any issues 🤔

[soft quarry]

why did they remove the spekels

[jolly tangle]

it was the least popular in the polls

[buoyant solstice]

We decided against the specks in the translucent case options, based on poll results.

[soft quarry]

lol no spekels is boring tho

[jolly tangle]

I agree I also voted specles but they cant please everyone

the church of the no speckles is strong

[crimson abyss]

Oh noes. I wanted to do a white zinc base with a frost abs top 😢

[buoyant solstice]

More like the Speckless Heresy

[real gulch]

when is the holy war starting

[soft quarry]

@nova nexus we want spekels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[midnight iron]

the war has been already won. They have driven the unclean speckled into the nether

[real gulch]

we still have a lot of cases

too many some might say

[midnight iron]

the raw cerakote church grows in strength daily. They hope to build on the success of the white 80he church

[soft quarry]

boring people

[real gulch]

black zinc can attack at any moment

😄

[crimson abyss]

Black pcr with cyan and magenta speckles would be so nice 🤩

[winter coral]

Hey @buoyant solstice, I'm still undecided whether to switch from ghost to Frost for my second case (zinc primary). Can the change in the next few days lead to a shift in batch 2? I need real pictures in comparison.

[soft quarry]

we all want photos

[nova nexus]

Separate case products aren't a biggie to make bigger batches of

It's the preassembled keyboard that is limited in this way

[jolly tangle]

the photos we have for now are here https://wooting.io/wooting-80he

[buoyant solstice]

(about halfway down the page is a render example of each case)

[toxic zephyr]

sect of the hydrangea waiting on the purple/lavender abs case 😎

[winter coral]

Ok, so I would have time until summer - ofc I won‘t wait such long.

[nova nexus]

I didn't say at all it wouldn't be set before summer

But within the founders' campaign should be fine

[winter coral]

Yeah renders were ok for final impression. Tuning on real images. Module with black zinc is set in stone, just the off case for I don’t know, maybe swapping later some day.

[winter coral]

Ok, understood.

[olive phoenix]

Hey there I was just wondering, the free pack of switches you get during the campaign is it a 90 pack or a different amount?

[buoyant solstice]

90 pack. Enough to fill the keyboard.

[olive phoenix]

Awesome thank you

[haughty panther]

Is Gateron Jade the heaviest switch?

[glad fable]

very light switch in actuation

[worthy wigeon]

Is there a way for us to repair the led bar in case it fails ?

[fathom dagger]

its supposedly 30士7gf, so similar to the lekker L45, while L60 is the heaviest of the 3 options

man im excited for just delivery of the keeb

the v2 switches got me even more excited

[haughty panther]

Gotcha. Thanks!

[jolly tangle]

the campaign isnt over theres more juicy

[fathom dagger]

ik, but time isnt going fast enough

lmao

[spark lantern]

Sometimes I wonder where the times went... And then sometimes I wonder when the times will hurry the fuck up I got an 80HE to get to in the future lmao.

[fathom dagger]

who needs to look back at memories, I got memories to make with my new keyboard

[spark lantern]

Exactly.

[soft quarry]

its gonna be hard to find custom cases for this layout

[foggy quiver]

You convinced me to add the ghost case variant btw lol

[lapis galleon]

there isn’t any third party cases, and there likely won’t be any for a while (if ever)

but it’s almost impossible to find third party cases for any size above 60%

[soft quarry]

it should of been proper 80%

[fallen forge]

knob reveal 🙏

[winter coral]

Did you do it via hub Support or cancel / fresh Order?

[lapis galleon]

still wouldn’t have any compatible cases

TKL isn’t standardized making it almost impossible to find custom cases, on top of that the 80he is gasket mounted which completely removes case compatibility due to need the specific cutouts

[fathom dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/stolen-thing-cause-i-cant-find-the-original-gif-23491232

I can promise you cases will be custom made after the 3d files are released.

[lapis galleon]

it’s pretty unlikely actually

unless someone like kbdfans wanted to do it

[fallen forge]

bet there's already people designing custom cases to have them as ready as possible for the release

there's no way people won't take advantage of the whole i won't be able to find a custom case crowd

[lapis galleon]

they don’t have the design files yet

[fathom dagger]

Files will be released after the campaign is over

[worthy wigeon]

With a 3.5 mm for bottom out, so Jade is probably faster than L45

[lapis galleon]

pretty sure it was after the keyboards a shipped

[fallen forge]

with the amount of pics and renders released so far you can reverse engineer plenty, not the final version ofc, but outside design for sure

only the exact mounting spaces for the gasket are vague

[soft quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/afraid-dog-pup-puppy-hiding-gif-17297710

[lapis galleon]

you have to remember that it cost a lot to make a case for a keyboard. to only make sales from a small percentage of owners of one specific keyboard I just don’t see that cost being worth it.

[fathom dagger]

not neccesarily faster, as the reason its 3.5 instead of 4 is because it had a housing cover beneath it on every switch for sound treatment

[lapis galleon]

but who knows, maybe kbdfans will make a aluminum box again

[fathom dagger]

its mostly sound based

[fathom dagger]

my guess is atleast 1 or 2 cases specifically for this keyboard will be made, for a limited time perhaps, but I dont doubt someone will try to take advantage of custom keyboard builders and this opportunity

[fallen forge]

maybe, so far it looks like there are gonna be quite a few of 80he around and we're only a couple of days into the initial campaign

i'd expect someone to at least make a plain box for it

[lapis galleon]

yeah i’m imaging some very expensive group buys

[worthy wigeon]

I mean, if both L45 and Jade share the 30+7g linear force, then, the one which reaches the bottom first will be the faster...

If you deep press them

[fallen forge]

your actuation point is before the bottom though (i hope)

[lapis galleon]

travel distance doesn’t really matter with HE, you’re probably just going to have your actuation point higher

[fathom dagger]

but then again with rapid trigger, actuation doesnt really matter as much

[worthy wigeon]

Yes, but nevertheless, with a 3.5mm of bottom out, the key will go up faster than on 4 mm

Because of the less travel distance

[dense ridge]

isnt it possible to choose lekker 60 as a perk? only 45 ?

[fallen forge]

doesn't matter to much since you have rapid trigger to make it irrelevant

[icy cosmos]

Keyboard Hobby is not unique. It follows the same trend / pattern as other niche hobbies. HiFi, Watches, Cars. If there’s money to be made. Then it’s going to happen. There’s always some people who want uniqueness and make something crazy to stand out. The amount of backers for this project is the foundation of future mods.

[worthy wigeon]

Yes, but you need some kind of adaptation to it

[fathom dagger]

not sure i follow

[minor quiver]

through the founders campaign the shipping is free?

[fallen forge]

no

[icy cosmos]

Nothing is 🆓

[fallen forge]

except L45 packs

[tiny orchid]

on the jades now, they arrived today, sound was the main reason but prefer 60g force

got heavy fingers

[icy cosmos]

It’s included in the campaign ( they make less money from it)

[tiny orchid]

testing on 60he

[buoyant solstice]

Mainly for US and EU (Beneloux area) due to low shipping costs near the warehouse. Order also needs to be above a certain amount. Checkout will tell you

[fallen forge]

[minor quiver]

thanks

[icy cosmos]

You’re still young my padawan

[fallen forge]

what wooting doesn't want us to know

[worthy wigeon]

Rapid Trigger resets the actuation point, however, you need some kind of practice to it.

[minor quiver]

somehow when i want to order the whole page is white and it tells :

[buoyant solstice]

I'd suggest trying a different browser and no script and adblockers.

[lapis galleon]

if you don’t learn to use rapid trigger what’s the point of buying an HE board? I don’t get your argument here.

[glad meadow]

hello, one question, are the lekkers both v2 or just the 45's?

[icy cosmos]

80% of people who buys a Ferrari and can’t drive it to the fullest

[tiny orchid]

both

[lapis galleon]

I think driving a car and learning to use rapid trigger are two very different things

[icy cosmos]

It’s a matter of perspective, but it’s the same thing

[tiny orchid]

variable actuation is another reason to use HE

not only rapid trigger

[glad meadow]

it makes sense, but as it did not say it in the order I had the doubt, thank you

[fallen forge]

it might seem so, but how many people drive their ferrari for several hours every day, not even actual race drivers get this much practice

[tiny orchid]

got the 60s myself and its v2, what is different? i don't know 🙂 hopefully less noisy then the v1

[fallen forge]

but there's still not much special about rapid trigger as far as getting used to since it all boils down to oh wow now i can just mash this key and it'll register even if i didn't fully lift my finger

[fathom dagger]

u let go, it stops actuation, i dont see the practice needed

[glad meadow]

I understand that better tolerances of the switch and housing and better lubrication from factory

[high ether]

You can mash a lubed up key that makes a thonk sound 😲

[tiny orchid]

try the new gateron jade you wont go back but i wish it was 60g though and full 4mm full range switch it would be my end game

[fallen forge]

can you put lekker springs into jades btw or they're incompatible?

[icy cosmos]

I think you misunderstood my comparison. Everyone who got a driving License and money can buy a Ferrari. Buying and owning a Ferrari doesn’t make you a good driver, or even close to a racing driver. You can take lessons to become a racing driver. But 80% think they’re already a racing driver by buying a racing/ sports car

[lapis galleon]

you can

[icy cosmos]

@fallen forge also people who daily their sports car buy and owns Porsche 😉

[tiny orchid]

i like to keep things stock, plus the time, i dont have the patience to be honest

small tweaks here and there yes

[fallen forge]

i see, well, using rapid trigger is nothing like driving a sports car, or even a regular car

[glad meadow]

yeah, maybe i will try does, but i more interested on the geonworks raptors

[lapis galleon]

raptors are kinda boring imo, they just sound like higher lekkers

[tiny orchid]

raptors use stronger magnets i think do your research first, i heard them talk about it in one the live streams, just saying

[lapis galleon]

jades are different due to the closed bottom, it makes them unique

[viral bolt]

I plan on changing the case, but I'm not sure yet.

[fallen forge]

i might, but you're also making a comparison between things that have nothing in common

it doesn't take any skill or getting used to to utilize rapid trigger, you'll get it once you try it

[lime falcon]

dont buy raptors

you wont get any improvement in anything

[glad meadow]

yeah, thats why i want to try xd

[lapis galleon]

that too, raptors saturate the sensors too quickly which results in higher sensitivity making you actuate the key when you might not want to.

iirc 0.3mm actuation on raptors is like 0.1mm on lekkers

[lime falcon]

raptors are most overhyped piece of crap just saying now do what u want

[icy cosmos]

If you got a moment I will break it down for ya.

[glad meadow]

in terms force im looking something between 45 and 60, raptors seem to be in the sweet spot.

[lime falcon]

lmao i cant stop laughing looking at this picture

[lapis galleon]

you can just buy springs. pretty sure jades and KS-20us also have something in between those two aswell.

[verbal solar]

meanwhile trackmania players grabbing their pitchforks because someone used a wooting keyboard

[glad meadow]

from what I've seen they are lighter than the 45s

[lime falcon]

new lekkers are coming out, there are jades and other great switches, raptors are bad compared to those

[fallen forge]

it's okay, lets not waste too much of our time, at the very least i got the gist of it and just disagreeing with the example

[lapis galleon]

it should be noted that you can stem swap the raptors with lekker stems to create a frankenswitch that solves the magnet issue, but can create a tight feeling

[lime falcon]

also if ur using rgb u wont be able to use on raptors

[lapis galleon]

jades are 30g actuation 50g bottom out, so the bottom out is a bit heavier than 45s. I cant remember the ks-20us tho,

[lapis galleon]

looks like ks-20us are the same

[glad meadow]

oh that make sense

[tiny orchid]

i understand, trying is the best way to learn and form opinions. for me i spent hours watching videos and i decided on the jades. Good luck with your project though exciting times 🙂

[lime falcon]

@tiny orchid btw if you press jades off center do they go down smoothly ? because if u do like this on some switches they are going down slowly

[icy cosmos]

1. Getting a driving License = you got the skill to use a PC/ Mac. Majority of people who know how to use a computer doesn’t care about buying a good keyboard because they’re just using the keyboard at work or they just don’t want to put down so much money into a speciality keyboard. Does this comparison make any sense to you?

[glad meadow]

yes, I was thinking of trying the ks20s some time later, but I will check out the jades, I haven't read much about them tbh

[tiny orchid]

smooth no matter how you press it is

[lapis galleon]

due to the lube job probably

[tiny orchid]

if they can do the this switch with 60g force and 4mm its my end game for the 80he

[lime falcon]

yea before L45 had this issue where it wasnt going down smoothly and later wooting fixed that, but current L60 still have that, also raptors

[glad meadow]

raptors too? what a shame

[lime falcon]

yea if you press on the left or right side slowly it wont go down smoothly

[tiny orchid]

i can switch one key to the 60 lekker if anybody wants to hear the difference

[lime falcon]

kinda scratchy

[icy cosmos]

@fallen forge 2. Buying a sports car = specialty keyboard. Some people (example: we who have bought a wooting keyboard). Why do we need to have such a good keyboard when we’re getting one for free with our Pc? Because we want performance. If you just wanted a good looking keyboard an art piece 🖼️ . There’re other options.

[tiny orchid]

intentionally and purposefully yes

when i type it never happens though

[lime falcon]

oh ok

yea during typing or playing dont think u will notice scratchiness off center

[icy cosmos]

@fallen forge 3. People who buy sports cars don’t know how to use it = people buying wooting doesn’t know and doesn’t care about the performance. For some people, just owning the best or one of the best is enough 😉

[tiny orchid]

it is solid and doesn't wobble so when you are typing it is smooth

[lime falcon]

but i believe its not happening on newer lekkers

because they fixed that on L45

[glad meadow]

I want a hall effect switch tester like the ones for the cherrys/gaterons,etc, but I guess I have to wait for more switch options and for them to be compatible with most hall effect keyboards

[tiny orchid]

other then wobble and smooth typing the sound of the switch is just no go for me and hope then fixe it with the v2

[fallen forge]

i see, your initial example made it sound like you need extra effort/time to master rapid trigger

sports car comes with a learning curve and takes time and skill to master, HE keyboard is just a keyboard but better, no additional effort requires to utilize its features (in my opinion anyway)

[lime falcon]

yea want to try new lekker v2 and 80he, and also might grab jades cus they seem to be very very good

[tiny orchid]

there you go

you know which one is which 🙂

[glad meadow]

60s have more THOC right?
