What is natural for you isn’t natural for people who hasn’t experienced it. Look at people who buy expensive watches . It doesn’t matter if you buy a 100€ watch or a 1000€ watch. It still tells the same time for a normal person

[tiny orchid]

opposite

thocc is jade, springy sound is lekker 60

[lime falcon]

second is lekker?

[tiny orchid]

yesssssssss

[lime falcon]

[fallen forge]

ye, it might be less natural to others hence i said that it is so in my opinion, but i'm almost certain you'll find it quite natural once your board arrives

[glad meadow]

ahh, yeah i was confused, i listen the previous audio and it didn't make sense to me xd

[tiny orchid]

previous audio is all jade

this one i just replaced one key for comparison

[cedar hound]

Man I got the zinc too but the ghost looks so nice

[glad meadow]

audio file said lekker vs jade so i guess it was that order

[left turtle]

This. You should tell me what did indeed improve you performance and it what case you can measure it

[tiny orchid]

surprise factor lol 😛

[icy cosmos]

First of all we need to understand your position on performance. Just like cars. Just because something has 1000hp doesn’t makes you go faster

[polar stirrup]

I use wooting on trackmania and it 100%does make me go faster

The analogue is game chabger

[icy cosmos]

That’s a good point. But do you understand why it’s making you go faster besides the rapid trigger?

[chrome lantern]

gonna replace my actual car's steering wheel with the 80he

[tiny orchid]

cars and keybaord who would have thought 😛

[polar stirrup]

Haha i wish

[icy cosmos]

Well, I am a car guy and love HiFi. Both trigger the same emotional response as a good keyboard 😆

[tiny orchid]

i think wooting can develop the best he steering wheel and it would be very precise as they have the software tuned to perfection

[polar stirrup]

Its not even about rapid trigger just the fact i can turn at 65% or 47% steering instead of 100% or nothing.

[tiny orchid]

i like personal hifi, iems dac etc but cars and big projects won't be able to afford all that as i know i'm crazy 😄

[fallen forge]

there are certain things HE keyboard allows you to do such as inputting a specific turn angle due to analog inputs and software (that are not possible on a non HE keyboard)

[icy cosmos]

You can accurate pinpoint the reason of the performance gain in your case. But wooting is getting more competition now days in this department.

[fallen forge]

while rapid trigger allows you to perform repeated presses faster and more consistently

[polar stirrup]

Yeah i mean controllers and flight sticks can do just that too. Im just used to kb

Also on osu i heard rapid trigger is very noticeable

[icy cosmos]

To fully make use of this performance feature. One needs to learn how to use it.

[tiny orchid]

not to jump in between you guys but it's clear HE keyboards have lots of advantages to customize but it will never make normal keyboards obsolete. all can exist together and for each to their own not sure where this is going to be honest.

[fallen forge]

again, not really, any person just mashing a key will end up with more presses in total on HE board due to how rapid trigger makes the "switch" behave

[icy cosmos]

Yeah, but some guy was asking about numbers and measurements to confirm the claimed performance gains. Just like any tech. There’s a limit to how much you can improve with the current generation. I feel that comparing spec is useless. The community feedback is more important at this point.

[icy cosmos]

Ofc normal people (normies) won’t be in this chat 💬 we’re the enlightened ones ☝️

[polar stirrup]

If you want numbers look at the ... just copied wooting series from optimum

[tiny orchid]

haha i like that 🫡

[mild grove]

Are those wooting Double Shot keycabs nice or there better ones out there?

[polar stirrup]

Its preference

[tiny orchid]

for me it is good and i like shine through, maybe you have higher standards 🙂

[polar stirrup]

I have the cerakeys. They came in bent af but sent me replacements

[quiet atlas]

Is there a zinc sound sample

[tiny tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/its-july-july-gif-9046365

[polar stirrup]

Next week

[mild grove]

Those Are very expensive

[polar stirrup]

100usd is yhe price for proper set these days

Gmk arent better priced

[mild grove]

In Germany its over 140

[tiny orchid]

they had sound test on the announcement video but not sure if it was the zinc case

[polar stirrup]

Oh i got it while discount and shipping cheap since im in asia

[brazen iris]

Na wasnt

It was the plastic case

[polar stirrup]

Im eye balling the x-ray from kbdfans

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

[tiny tartan]

Ceramic is too glossy

[polar stirrup]

I like the rgb on it. Mostly use my kb at night

[fallen epoch]

Very edible

[tiny tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/ntuni-cat-chew-crunch-funny-gif-23922784

[mild grove]

Seine True rgb on them ?

Shine True

[polar stirrup]

Xray idk

[tiny orchid]

i feel weird accepting the default wooting keycaps now...hmmm

[polar stirrup]

Prob no

Its white on white legend with like a clear part

[tiny orchid]

do they have an image wit rgb on?

[polar stirrup]

Nah not even released yet

[versed pagoda]

Nice

[tiny orchid]

i'm assuming its going to be dope and how light will reflect on them

[analog terrace]

Guys whats different between the 80he's plastic case and the zinc alloy? Will it be any different in performance and experience since the zinc cost almost double the price?

[shell heath]

bro i want to buy ghost case but 50€ + the 300 from the zinc wooting u think they will do an offer someday?

[polar stirrup]

Should have gone ghost then zinc

Only 10 dollar for plastic case

[weary wren]

i want some high quality carbon colorway keycaps that are not super tall, any ideas where i can get them

[polar stirrup]

Nah never seen carbon keycaps. Some other guy was wanting the same

[buoyant solstice]

It's just a case. It won't make you a better gamer, if you pick the much heavier metal zinc case

[silk hedge]

Can we get a discount cupon for a plastic case if we bought the zinc one

Otherwise we would have to redo our orders to get both

[shell heath]

if i do this it comes with the travel case or only for fully assembled?

[robust karma]

where do we get role and website name stuff?

[cedar hound]

hub.wooting.io

Link your discord account

[pastel hare]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-vibe-music-gif-24311169

[marble ruin]

thats the problem i dont think they will give u plastic case for 10

@shell heath

[jolly tangle]

another white zinc gamer

and plastic because why not

[marble ruin]

@jolly tangle but do i get that discount on plastic case ?

[jolly tangle]

you know you cant combine a plastic bottom with a zinc top right?

[jolly tangle]

discount?

just look into your basket if there is its automaticly applied

[marble ruin]

@jolly tangle so if i buy zinc varriant and then add plastic case it offers mem plastic case for 10$

[proper pine]

This is the way :)))

[shell heath]

I'm glued to discord to see what they answer if they give code for this to 10€ I buy it,the bad thing that I already ordered and would go to 20€ but better than 50€ xd or if not get a code but say that stays with the offer I will cancel order and do it again because I will like to have the 2cases

[jolly tangle]

idk how pricing works I dont even work for wooting

[rancid sentinel]

whats the difference between the black and ghost color?

[jolly tangle]

ghoast is translucant

[rancid sentinel]

That does sound kinda cool

[shell heath]

https://tenor.com/view/book-of-boba-fett-the-mandalorian-this-is-the-way-the-book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian-gif-24825263

[rancid sentinel]

Also, is the zinc worth it for 50% more?

[jolly tangle]

for me who spends the entire day behind my pc

yes

[tiny tartan]

Yes if you have the money

[rancid sentinel]

what difference does it make?

[jolly tangle]

cosmetic

[pastel hare]

I would say no

[mint sequoia]

it will also provide a different sound profile.

[pastel hare]

I can afford it, just think ghost is going to be my favorite style. I already have black and white keyboards

[tiny tartan]

Cosmetic, sound, durability, weight

[tropic void]

Why not? Shouldn't they have The exact same screw in and contact points?

[tiny tartan]

Ghost does look pretty sick
I was going to get that but waifu told me to go for zinc lol

[dim sierra]

I think u can combine plastic with zinc

[tiny tartan]

Combine or switch?

[pastel hare]

The led bleed on ghost looks magical ngl

[tropic void]

Technically should be able to combine

[dim sierra]

Like zinc btm plastic top

[tiny tartan]

It really does
That's one of the reasons why I was gonna get it

[tiny tartan]

Ohh that's a cool idea

[burnt osprey]

I have a question, Is wooting 80he better than wooting 60he??

[brave yoke]

Can't the mounting mechanism is different

[dim sierra]

Really? Arent they both gasket

[tropic void]

In what way

[shell heath]

add that you can take a picture to upload it to reddit r/pcmasterrace otherwise not,jk 😅

[brave yoke]

🤷

[dim sierra]

[tiny tartan]

It has new features and has 8k polling

[valid comet]

Spec wise, yes its more advanced. Its also just objectively better in every sense unless you prefer the 60% layout and youre adamant on getting it

80HE is seriously the endgame keyboard for me

[dim sierra]

[gilded kindle]

You can alt f4 with unparalleled speed

[valid comet]

Real

[shell heath]

is gonna consume more cpu than normal right? i mean not even noticeable i think i read maybe it was a lie

[burnt osprey]

Is it more profitable for me to wait until July for an 80he or buy the 60he now?

[gilded kindle]

Personal decision

[dim sierra]

comparable with a 1k hz mouse

[burnt osprey]

what it means??

[glad meadow]

reduced latency

[gilded kindle]

8k polling = keyboard sends key press data 8,000 times a second vs 1,000 times a second on the 60HE

[shell heath]

8k polling rate mouse + 8k polling rate in keyboard is the gamer's pinnacle

[valid comet]

I mean you could be part of the founders campaign and also get a free switch pack

[gilded kindle]

Effectively 1/8th the average latency to 0.125ms from 1ms

[jolly tangle]

1ms is good enough for me

[dim sierra]

rn some game struggles to even have 4k polling for mouse

[jolly tangle]

or even 2

[gilded kindle]

Mouse polling rate is a lot more taxing than kb

[dim sierra]

yeah and some game doesnt really support it so ur mouse movement will feel really off

[valid comet]

I tried 300 microseconds on my ULX and I really love it so I think the 80HE would be around that for total device latency or less

[gilded kindle]

yep. My mouse is up to 4k polling but I use 2k polling and feels no different lol

[tiny tartan]

Ya I read that keyboard higher polling doesn't affect PC performance

[dim sierra]

yeah i use 2k polling rn too, 8k just too much for something u cant really feel

[woven iron]

I notice the diff from 2k to 4k, 8k not so much...

[gilded kindle]

I mean my monitor is “only” 144hz so that’s very much a factor as well.

[tiny tartan]

Need 8k hz monitor to feel it lul

[valid comet]

Same, I just use my ULX at 1k and it feels the same on my PG27AQN, just that the click latency is actually BETTER on 1k than the others due to the subtick packet

[dim sierra]

u can see it moves smoother but thats about it

[valid comet]

Facts

[woven iron]

Nah I feel it in game too, I play some esports...its not huge tho

[gilded kindle]

I want a pg27aqn for that ulmb2 but the price is too much for me to stomach lolll

[dim sierra]

for me it depends on the game, some game 8k just make mouse movement worse

[valid comet]

PG248QP, less money and very good TN panel, or the XL2586X

[woven iron]

true...

[tiny tartan]

I got a big ass 4k OLED monitor
I stopped caring about being competitive and wanted something that would look good with console games too

[valid comet]

The asus 540Hz has ULMB 2, and the BenQ 540Hz has DyAc 2

[plush dagger]

i feel like i can feel it on 4k compared to 1k its a sweet spot for most games as well but you will see some fp sdrops esp on widnows 10

[marble gull]

Can I choose to have the l45 shipped from the factory?

[gilded kindle]

Me and my 38” ultrawide enjoying helldivers 2 :>

[plush dagger]

windows 11 is better optomized for higher polling

[primal skiff]

Do u know when ULX next batch would be coming out, i rly want it 😭

[tiny tartan]

Preassembled? No

[marble gull]

Thanks

[tiny tartan]

Democracy enjoyers

[valid comet]

April probably

[burnt osprey]

the 1k polling rate in a keyboard is so different than 8k polling rate? you can feel it?

[valid comet]

Batch 3 was much better in terms of QC, my unit was perfect

[gilded kindle]

I had the opportunity to grab the second batch ULX but I couldn’t see myself spending $200 on a mouse

[tiny tartan]

Your wallet feels it more

[gilded kindle]

[primal skiff]

Money isnt the issue for me its the availability i swear it vanishes so quickly

[valid comet]

Thrn again its easier to justify for me since I went from a G502

[gilded kindle]

That’s a heck of an upgrade sheesh

[valid comet]

Yeye

[gilded kindle]

I ended up with a glorious model D 2 pro, I’m very much enjoying the shape

[valid comet]

I heard its fast 😳

[gilded kindle]

I’ve no complaints at all, solid build and great clicks

Wheel isn’t good for le bunny hops, but I don’t do KZ or anything like that

[molten spindle]

As an alternative to the ULX, get a WLmouse Beast X. It's very similar to the ULX and highly regarded

[marble gull]

The only difference between the two is the color?

[gilded kindle]

$6,000?????

[valid comet]

6.4k for what?

[gilded kindle]

How many keyboards are you buying LOL

[bronze copper]

whats on july ?

[valid comet]

This guy believes in wootings vision so much more than me

[gilded kindle]

Estimated delivery of 80he

[tiny tartan]

80he possible release

[marble gull]

The only difference between the two is the color?

[gilded kindle]

I’m gonna venture to guess late August, and be happier if it comes sooner :)

[bronze copper]

did they already make the batches

[gilded kindle]

I don’t think so no

[tiny tartan]

I'm stocked up on copium

[gilded kindle]

And yes. Color. They’re both double shot PBT

[naive ruin]

yes im pretty sure

[bronze copper]

https://tenor.com/view/scam-book-reefer-sad-reefer-sad-meme-gif-25427550

[tiny tartan]

They are still in pre production

[marble gull]

Thanks

[gilded kindle]

Any Brandon Sanderson Stormlight Archive enjoyers in the chat 😂

yes i have this widget on my phone’s Home Screen

[marble ruin]

@molten spindle spec wise ULX still sounds better its just their shipping what makes it still hard

[marble gull]

https://youtu.be/uz9pTOLbeos?si=KboyBAw0JXxkvaqR

Is the sound at 3:10 what I will hear when I get the keyboard?

[buoyant solstice]

https://wooting.io/wooting-80he

Scroll down. It is not a guaranteed final sound

[marble gull]

Thanks

[gilded kindle]

The ghost looks so snazzy

[marble gull]

You guys helping alot

[gilded kindle]

Final mouse and in stock don’t belong in the same universe

[valid comet]

No guarantee but it is a rough idea what it may sound like with L60 v2s and PCR ABS

[marble gull]

Thanks

[mortal crypt]

bro i still have a ducky one two mini with blue switches you guys think this 80he is going to be a game changer that once i start using i can never go back

[valid comet]

How did it happen for me then haha

Then again no one really wanted the tigers I cant blame them for shaving every gram

[gilded kindle]

For a lack of a better term the stars aligned 😂

[valid comet]

The tigers were in stock for like 5 days

[gilded kindle]

Dang that’s the one I woulda bought I got huge mitts lol

[marble gull]

So this means that 80he should sound better than 60he, right?

[valid comet]

Sameeee

[valid comet]

I am 99% sure

[gilded kindle]

8.5” or 22cm from tip to base here lol

[valid comet]

Gasket, tighter switch tolerance (v2s) etc

[marble gull]

Thank u

[celest laurel]

guys do you expect the zinc alloy case sound worse than the plastic one?

[gilded kindle]

…no

[celest laurel]

sorry for out of the blue question lol

[valid comet]

Worse probably no, different absolutely

[celest laurel]

wdym?

[mortal crypt]

not sounding worse but definitely sounding different so its preference

[valid comet]

Worse is relative meaning down to end user

[celest laurel]

of cours that's true, just wondering about the sound profile

I got the zinc fwiw

[valid comet]

Same

[celest laurel]

hope the QC will be good, the boys have close to 12k boards to deliver as for now 😅

[arctic ice]

It probably sounds thoccccc

[celest laurel]

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-rabbit-cute-factory-working-gif-17729927

[valid comet]

I believe both will sound amazing, just ghat zinc may sound more full but slightly metallic? Just my guess, sorta like a xylophone that you dont hear all that well because its super quiet haha

[river wharf]

i was wondering if I should use it for my work laptop.
my coworker has his custom keyboard triggering corporate security settings, probably from the firmware

[valid comet]

Hard to explain

[valid comet]

Ask if wootility/wootility web would be an issue, the mode cey can allow you to switch on board profiles

GuhUH

[silk stone]

somebody said something about a free switch pack? how do I get the switch pack?

[arctic ice]

Walder fainted after he heard the thoccness, so it must be 12/10

[valid comet]

Did you get a foundry campaign pack of 90 L45 v2 switches?

[silk stone]

idk

[river wharf]

the free switch pack got automatically added to my cart

[silk stone]

i bought an hour after the preorder opened up

[valid comet]

If youre building the board w module, you pick either 60 or 45, the founder pack will be 45 or 60

[silk stone]

there was no option for jades

[mint sequoia]

.

[nova nexus]

The free switch pack thing went a little wonky, some orders didn't add it, some added 200,000 units, some got the free switch pack in their order then removed everything else and just paid shipping

[nova nexus]

No option to add the jades?

[arctic ice]

Cant wait for my 200k unit, can resell them and be millionaire💀

[silk stone]

what do I gotta do to get the jades

[buoyant solstice]

Pay for them

[silk stone]

yea but then it wont be free

[nova nexus]

There are units available to allocate to orders in all regions, so it should be presented as an option

[lime aspen]

You won't get the jades for free

[silk stone]

oh okay

[nova nexus]

Correct the Jades will never be the "free switch pack perk"

[river wharf]

im curious, did you guys got taxes from your order? it should be 10% of total price + shipping

[nova nexus]

We have to sell them at a specific price, as it's not our product

[silk stone]

so what do I gotta do to get the lekkers

[buoyant solstice]

Depends on country.

[glad meadow]

is it worth putting film on the lekker v2? i have a 3d printer so i have no problem making them myself doubts are if it's worth it and maybe what filament would be needed?

[nova nexus]

Country-specific

[shell heath]

if i do this it comes with the travel case or only for fully assembled? and get the 2 case offers??

[nova nexus]

Almost certainly not, whole point of the V2 is to reduce stem wobble

[buoyant solstice]

All zinc case purchases comes with a (not shown) travel case 🙂

[nova nexus]

Mansen speed answering xD

[river wharf]

ah alright, hope fedex pays for the import fees I got charged

[buoyant solstice]

What country?

[river wharf]

im from japan, import should be 7.8% but they charged 10%

[nova nexus]

China is now tax-inclusive, and shipped as "Delivery Duties Paid" DDP

[glad meadow]

oh okay, thanks for the reply

[nova nexus]

I don't think we're collecting tax for Japan?

[river wharf]

this is my order

[nova nexus]

Ah, we're collecting Duties apparently

[arctic ice]

10%? Goddamn i gotta move where u are

[valid comet]

You want the ANSI board yes?

[silk stone]

okay so how do i get the free pack]'

[valid comet]

There are ANSI, ISO, and JIS

[arctic ice]

It gets added on the next step after checkout

[nova nexus]

If you are getting a module, it's a buy one get one free type deal

Buy any 90 pack of switches (including Jades) and get a free 90 pack of either Lekker L45s or L60s

[river wharf]

yes, people prefer ANSI because IME (programs to help type jpnese) works well without the redundant JIS specific keys.
losing spacebar real estate is not worth, keycaps are hard to get too.

[silk stone]

did i fuck up then cause I already did my order and didnt get it

i didnt choose the option

[mint sequoia]

My budget 75% HE

[nova nexus]

Indeed your order didn't qualify for the free founders' perk due to the lack of switch pack included.
Fastest and quickest option is to place a new order that does include a pack of switches and get the bonus, then have us cancel+refund the original order.
If money is tight (or the trust isn't there, no worries if this is the case) then we can either edit the order or first cancel+refund then you place a new order. But order edits will take some time as we have literal thousands of support requests to work through

[valid comet]

I much like ANSI too

[dense ridge]

@nova nexus it shows that i am getting only L45 pack for free.. is it possible to change to L60?

[stiff haven]

Just bought the wooting 60he and now the 80he is out, should I switch? What are the new things in the 80he other than the size and layout (saw smth about rappysnappy, is it applicable in cs?)

[buoyant solstice]

Did you purchase a preassembled 80HE or a module?

[dense ridge]

@nova nexuspreassembled ghost one

[buoyant solstice]

Then your only option is L45 free

[mint sequoia]

nothing changes in the 80he besides 8k polling and ~80% layout.

[nova nexus]

Yes, and this will be possible to swap via the Wooting Hub at a later time, but probably not yet

[arctic ice]

After u press continue it adds the option as so just checked

[mint sequoia]

rappy snappy will ship to all pre-existing keyboards as a software update following the 80he's first batch shipping out.

[nova nexus]

Excuse me I misread your question

[silver gust]

founders get their names listed on the website
the founders:

[spring scaffold]

l

[nova nexus]

The preassembled comes with L60 switches and you get the L45 as perk

[stiff haven]

Oh ok, thx a lot

[valid comet]

Rappy snappy will also be availabke in a later update on older boards

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-text-anime-atatürk-türk-gif-20655969

[mint sequoia]

re-read my message

[silver gust]

I take it 60 didn't offer this package cus I can't find it on site

[upbeat berry]

what package

[mint sequoia]

the 60he did have a founders campaign if that is what you are referring to.

[silver gust]

founders get website shoutout

[river wharf]

Yep, there have been lots of debates here about how people want to abolish JIS for US (ANSI).

[upbeat berry]

60he founders got their name on the product box and a select few got a signature edition pack meaning they got a custom picture under each switch on the pcb

[silver gust]

oo ok

[upbeat berry]

all future 60HEs and preassembled 60HE+ have these

[silver gust]

they should have offered that for 80 too

[valid comet]

Older 60HE boards will also get it too in a later fw update tho

[silver gust]

2pt font on the box

[upbeat berry]

we thought about it but we cant fit 10k people on a box

and the pcb pics are even more limited

[buoyant solstice]

We could barely fit the 60HE names on the case. We had more than than ten times the people for the 80HE - in the first 24 hours 😄

[silver gust]

yeah I was looking at the difference

[marble ruin]

@upbeat berry if i add extra PCR case with zinc do i get it still for 10usd and travel case?

[silver gust]

crazy stuff for just a year or two

[upbeat berry]

best ask via email where CS staff can answer you

[upbeat berry]

?

[vernal quest]

in one month the lekker v2 gonna be available alone ?

[buoyant solstice]

More like... (late) summer if anything. Around the same time as 80HE preorders will ship.

[fossil raven]

Is the prebuilt wooting 80 with lekker 60 switches? Or is there a way to change it to 45?

[upbeat berry]

l60 v2

but you get a free extra l45 v2 anyway

[fossil raven]

Hmm, so with the free switch pack

[upbeat berry]

so easy to just switch once you get it

[fossil raven]

Yeah ait thanks

[spring scaffold]

e

[valid comet]

By default if you get a prebuilt yes

You get a free set of L45 v2s with the Pre assembled L60 v2 board

Shows up as 0 of your currency

Example $0, 0€, 0¥

Founders campaign

[fossil raven]

Is zinc alloy worth, or will they come with other metal cases future wise

[sour lion]

@upbeat berry Hey, support hasn't answered my email yet. Are they online this weekend

[tiny tartan]

Doubt they'll make different metal cases

[upbeat berry]

we dont work on weekends

[upbeat berry]

if theres other metal cases i doubt theyll just be 100eur

[sour lion]

Ty, also, how do I get the 80HE roles? It still has not applied to my account haha

Hey guys does the Wooting 80HE support these switches by Gateron too? They are dual rail but I think it might not be for Wooting

Gateron 2.0 double rail magnetic switches

[midnight iron]

no those are ks37b

[valid comet]

If I may ask whats different about the KS-37B vs KS-20?

[midnight iron]

Magnets aren’t the same polarity so you can’t use them in wooting

[valid comet]

Makes sense

[clear swallow]

What keycaps u all gonna use for the 80HE?? found mind already🫡

[hazy valley]

I'm assuming this is a bug, can someone confirm?

If I place this order I won't be getting the free switch package because its buy 1 get 1 free and I didn't buy 1 right?

Like SN vs NS

unless you're getting an extra set of right side modifiers those ain't gonna fit

[buoyant solstice]

Correct. You need to add a pack of paid switches.

[umbral locust]

I am debating GMK redacted on white zinc

[valid comet]

I dont think I will be using any if the defult PBTs are PURELY PBT vs a mix of PBT and ABS

[humble cargo]

80HE doesn't do the cucked rshift/ctrl/alt etc that every other 75 out there stubbornly insists on

[clear swallow]

We shall see, can always get diff keys if nedded

[valid comet]

If they are a cheap mix of PBT and ABS luke the K70 TKL RGB keyboard, I will buy aftermarket durable caps

[clear swallow]

have a spare set of keycaps as well, just like the Akko caps imo

The set I have has all the variations needed for ANSI/ISO too which helps

[covert arch]

ESTIMATED DELIVERY
Early August 2024

is that normal?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[covert arch]

alr

[humble cargo]

yeah the rest will fit but the right corner mods won't

[elfin dock]

Which are those? I need Æ/Ø/Å ones.

[humble cargo]

looks like iso-uk

[celest laurel]

mind sharing which one are those?

[toxic zephyr]

those won't fit the 80HE though

[celest laurel]

nooooooo

[clear swallow]

For those wondering, they are the caps you get on the Akko 5075B plus, unsure if you can buy they separately

[toxic zephyr]

on account of half the navcluster keys being the wrong profile and the right-side R0 mods being 1u

as well as the short shift...

eyeball usage is recommended

[clear swallow]

short shift as in ISO UK shift?

[toxic zephyr]

as in 1.75u right shift

[clear swallow]

or 3/4 shift on the right?

yeah I said above I have spare keys in the same colour way

which are the right sizing etc.

[humble cargo]

I'll take market oversaturation for three fiddy

[fossil raven]

This might be a dumb question, but by ordering the 80HE, you do get a cable with it?

[humble cargo]

of course

[fossil raven]

Ait, but the coiled one is something you have to buy seperate

[buoyant solstice]

Yep

[valid comet]

All questions are fine, yes it comes with a cable tailored for power and polling

[oblique lichen]

Anyone have recommendations for a usb c or 3.0 switch to connect the 80he to two computers?

[sterile walrus]

Poll power?

[valid comet]

8k polling and the full power requirement

[sterile walrus]

I meant to type 'pole power'

[storm dagger]

So hyped

[dapper anchor]

It's founder's perk
No? Came on my order for the black zinc version too

[buoyant solstice]

You need to pay for one switch pack to get a switch pack for free. As we already answered them earlier.

[brittle carbon]

o

[valid comet]

Oh

[dapper anchor]

Not according to the campaign perk information....

See attached

[buoyant solstice]

[dapper anchor]

This

[dapper anchor]

Or do you mean for people that only order the bits separately?

[pseudo parrot]

yea well for the module you have to buy a pack to get one, since module does not include switches to begin with

[buoyant solstice]

That assumes you either buy the preassembled version - which includes a "paid for" set of L60 preinstalled.

[dapper anchor]

Okay

[buoyant solstice]

The module will not give you a free pack, unless you specifically buy a set of switches first. 🙂

[valid comet]

Does anyone knowthe spec of this Wooting 80HE USB-C cable?

I know some HE boards are going into 3.0 territory

For example the K70 MAX RGB

[wicked pivot]

jesus

[humble cargo]

I mean yeah if you throw every extra in there its bound to cost ya

[wicked pivot]

i gotta have the extras

[dry patio]

😭 cost me $412 including shipping just for the keyboard wish i was in the US

[brave yoke]

I feel your pain

[valid comet]

I spent almost 800 CAD on things I wanted too...

[dreamy sedge]

Ppl WHO added thousands of free lecker Packs stonks

[wicked pivot]

i just ordered the wooting uwu, idk if i can get the 80he yet since i havent used the uwu yet

[brave yoke]

what is the uWu even for xD? (2 Marco keys?)

[wicked pivot]

osu

im sure you could use it for other things but thats what its mainly used for

[zealous oak]

do the module orders come with the selected switches preinstalled?

[buoyant solstice]

They do not.

[zealous oak]

ok nice, because I selected the l45s and the l60s as the free pack

and I want the l60s first to try

[valid comet]

And geometry dash lol

Mostly osu

[silk hedge]

I paid that amount but didnt get a coiled cable or lube set or wrist rest

Just module + zinc case + white keycaps + jades

[valid comet]

What currency

[silk hedge]

Euros

[valid comet]

I see

What zinc case did you get?

[silk hedge]

Black

[storm tulip]

Hiya! When I try to order 80HE from Turkey, I get a "Shipping not available for selected address" error. If I remove the free switch pack from the cart, the problem is resolved. I don't mind not having the extra switches but it seems like a weird problem to have. Anyone else encountered something similar?

[tiny orchid]

it does not show in the item list

but it says it is included already

[silk hedge]

Yes the travel case is included but doesent show up dont worry

[tiny orchid]

no issues from my side, maybe its a weight limit thing? packaging?

[storm tulip]

Are you ordering from Turkey?

[tiny orchid]

to US

[storm tulip]

It is a country-specific issue I think. The issue doesn't occur if I switch to a different country.

[zinc patrol]

Did anyone get the zinc alloy version of the 80he and if it's worth getting?

[sage reef]

it's definitely worth, sound and doesn't move during some gaming sessions

[tiny orchid]

do you have close up of the pure zinc?

[brave yoke]

doesn't move when you smash alt + f4 with 8k polling rate

[tight cypress]

Genuinely curious - what do you do with your keyboard during gaming if it moves?

[zinc patrol]

no I dont I ordered the 60he+ and i was thinking of getting the zinc case for that too

[red heart]

run to catch it

[tiny orchid]

i got the black zinc didn't want to take the risk for pure zinc one

i wish they had more close up images at the ordering page

[zinc patrol]

yea think it would be nice if they also had preview pictures for different color switch and case combos

[oblique marsh]

Hello I am French and for the 80he wooting I wonder if I should take the French iso met which only has ABS keys or take the UK iso with PBT keys

[molten spindle]

Test

[sharp wharf]

Personal preference

[oblique marsh]

PBT > abs no ?

[buoyant solstice]

Do you want keycaps that match what you're typing? Or ones that might feel better to type on?

[oblique marsh]

I think ones that might feel better to type on because I don't really look at my keyboard anymore when I type on it

[red heart]

in that case it shouldnt matter but if you want to be really sure you could always get pbt caps for french iso layout from somewhere else

[oblique marsh]

I thought about it but I'm afraid it won't match with the keyboard, I've already seen people have a problem

[red heart]

if you dont think itll be a problem for your normal usage then UK layout should be fine, it's always possible to get used to it over time also

[verbal solar]

If I pre-order an 80HE now, is there an option to change my shipping address later?

[oblique marsh]

ok thx last question is the keyboard noise influenced by abs or pbt? because it is not specified which ones are for the test

[buoyant solstice]

Sure is

[verbal solar]

Oh good, now I don't have to worry about being in another country, thanks!

[buoyant solstice]

Hold up. A different ADDRESS and a different COUNTRY are two very different things 😄

We cannot guarantee that a country change will be possible. Requires a complete do over of shipping and tax calculations.

[oblique marsh]

mansen can you rep at my ask plz

[buoyant solstice]

Not my area of expertise.

[oblique marsh]

ok thx

[tight cypress]

General consensus is that PBT keycaps are a bit thockier, while ABS a bit clackier, because PBTs are more dense - hence why ceramic keycaps sound way thockier than PBT or ABS - but the difference is typically really small, and heavily depends on individual keycaps too
I believe PBT keycaps were used in sound test

[oblique marsh]

thank you very much because I find the sound very good

i will take PBT

[wide juniper]

I didn't even see an ABS option

But I wanted PBT anyway

[tight cypress]

ABS is only available with ISO layouts

[sleek pelican]

you can always go no keycaps and buy ur own

[oblique marsh]

I thought about it but I'm afraid it won't match with the keyboard, I've already seen people have a problem

[low token]

Cals what did you choose for your 80he?

[tight cypress]

Still trying to pick between translucent white, translucent smoky and zinc white
I like how translucent white looks, I found nice keycaps which will match perfectly with smoky case, but white zinc looks so clean...

[sleek pelican]

id go zinc personally

[river wharf]

jp marketplace is wild, people selling used 60HE for more than I paid for the 80HE with shipping and taxes

[tight cypress]

If there was white PCR I'd go for it immediately

[clever depot]

zinc alloy all the way

[sleek pelican]

heres my order

[low token]

Buy raw zinc and cerakote it

[sleek pelican]

whoops wrong image crap

yea im basic 😎

[tight cypress]

I asked local ASG shop if they're up to cerakoting keyboard case, but I didn't get response yet

[weary wren]

I thought my wifes leobog hi75 was heavy. The Zinc is almost twice as heavy. Can be used as a home defense melee weapon

[low token]

Where. If price is good enough i might do it

[sleek pelican]

the measurement for how good a case is is how high itd have to drop on an invaders head to work as a siege defense weapon

[low token]

Well my aluminium tkl is around 2.5kg

[sleek pelican]

they need to start making tungsten cases

[low token]

I dont think so tungsten is ok for keyboards

[shell heath]

with this i get the offer to the 2 cases right or is a bug?

[low token]

But steel case with brass weight

[fallen epoch]

Day one delivery!

[low token]

Well if you want 2 cases. You can buy it

[sleek pelican]

you get two

[shell heath]

i say bcs i think u can only get 1 case with the offer with order of the module 80he

[sleek pelican]

oyea

[shell heath]

so wanna confirm bcs i order a fully assemble zinc white but also want the smokey black case for 10€

[sleek pelican]

i think youll get 2

[shell heath]

im gonna wait for them to response for be 100% secure xd

[jolly tangle]

you can wait long its the weekend. however I think its fine

[shell heath]

day 38. we have run out of food it seems that jonny is exhausted and I fear the worst if someone reads this it is the year 2051 after the drought of sector 78....

[river wharf]

This will be shipped out from EU right?

[jolly tangle]

depends on your location

[tight cypress]

For most of the world it is EU warehouse, yes

[tight cypress]

I just asked out of curiosity, if I was going with zinc, I'd most likely go with white regardless

[jolly tangle]

the only correct choice

[river wharf]

Ah ok, I looked up and seems like for jp it is usually shipped from Germany.
That explains the 30 usd converted shipping.

[weary wren]

How? Do you have weights in it?

[verbal solar]

Oh fair enough, thanks for the heads-up!

[calm wyvern]

zinc all white bby

[ruby vale]

Ok so I just wanna see something, if it's possible.

I'm an unironic user of ALT codes on the numpad, and I'm wondering if there's a way to make that work on the numbers on the 80? Pretty sure it won't work out of the gate since numpad and numbers are different, but is there a simple way to make it work like such so I can type numbers, use shift for the symbols, and use alt for some special characters?

I thought about making alt a function layer but I'm unsure if I can make it both activate alt and the function layer at the same time to make alt codes possible by hiding numpad numbers on top of the normal ones, only brought in once alt is pressed.

It seems pretty complicated, but if that's possible, it should be pretty good.

[low token]

In what country 80he is produced?

[noble vine]

Is the 8k polling compatible with an usb 3.0 kvm switch?

[tight cypress]

Highly depends on KVM switch model

If it provides enough power, any 2.0+ hub/kvm switch should do

[noble vine]

Ok nice thx

[toxic zephyr]

not possible but what you should really do is just create a layout with the special characters you want on an altgr layer https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102134&irgwc=1

Designed in Netherlands, manufactured in China 🙂

[rough wind]

pre-ordered a black zinc version, wrist rest and stealth cable day 1 of the campaign. cant wait till late july!! lol

[verbal solar]

bro went all out

[elfin dock]

What the...

I just realised that the 80HE doesn't have the delete key but it has PAUSE?!?!

[valid comet]

Me too brother

[buoyant solstice]

You can swap em out

[low token]

Well you have keycaps in box so changing them id easy

[elfin dock]

Actually nvm. I think I was looking at an earlier render because on the website I see the delete key.

[valid comet]

Why pause and no delete lol

Delete is used more no?

[ebon sluice]

just don't make any typing mistakes

[elfin dock]

For me yes. Never ever used the pause key.

[buoyant solstice]

Again - You get the keycaps to swap everything around. 🙂

[valid comet]

Does the zinc prebuilt come with the full ANSI shinethrough PBT keycap set so I can swap them?

[elfin dock]

Alright thanks.

[buoyant solstice]

If you pick ANSI, yes.

[elfin dock]

@buoyant solstice are you Danish?

[valid comet]

Yeah my order was the prebuilt black zinc alloy in ANSI

[timid abyss]

fuck i picked ghost but now im kinda feel like im missing out without going zinc

might have to upgrade

[lime falcon]

u can cancel it

[valid comet]

Youre not missing out, but you can absolutely switch

[timid abyss]

yeah cause im have a 60he+ prebuilt with the plastic case and i cant justify upgrading to an alumaze when i will definitely be using the 80 when it arrives

[dapper tide]

i'm looking at the del key on 80he right now

[valid comet]

Wait was the inquiry regarding a non ansi layout

[dapper tide]

ah you're eu

[pseudo parrot]

The typical tkl keys will be included in the box anyways so you can switch them out afaik

[valid comet]

OH WOW I was shocked thank you

No im canada

[sullen sand]

You can easily change any key to whatever you want

Wootility software is very good for that 🙂

Once you get your Wooting you will wonder why you ever used any other keyboard

[tight cypress]

Full TKL set included

[valid comet]

But default ANSI looks perfect imo I couldnt ask for anything better given 77.5%

[dapper tide]

i wish we had better picures of the Raw zinc color

[valid comet]

I luke how its ghe wooting logo instead of windows, because what if I stop using windows

[sullen sand]

I don't think the final design/finishes are even fully done yet

[verbal solar]

i just bought a 60HE now im having second thoughts about getting an 80HE lol

[sullen sand]

Hence there is no real picture of it

[sullen sand]

Easy solution, just buy both

[timid abyss]

^ KEKW ill have both as well

[verbal solar]

haha, wish i could afford that

[dapper tide]

i love my 60he, but no fn, arrow keys kill me

[verbal solar]

mod tap

[sullen sand]

you have no arrow keys on your 60he?

[dapper tide]

use that already, prefer dedicated

[valid comet]

You could get an 80HE or a Two HE

[sullen sand]

mod tap is very easy to use lol

[valid comet]

Mod tap is nice

[timid abyss]

the "/" alt, menu and ctrl line up pretty well if i do say so myself

[valid comet]

Was watching 60HE reviews yesterday gushing about wooting

[timid abyss]

bro i got a 60 like 2 weeks ago got the packaging with the post card and everything and fell in love with wooting as a brand

[valid comet]

Seriously these guys are crazy awesome

[dapper tide]

i can't go back to regular kebs now

[sullen sand]

I honestly don't even use arrow keys that much to even worry about it I use them... for sure, but like

I'm not overusing arrow keys ever

[pseudo parrot]

I’ve known of this company for years but didn’t bother to get a keyboard until July last year

[timid abyss]

quality product seems like cool people working on the product im in 😄

[valid comet]

This is my first time going custom so its all new to me

I was waiting for Hall effect to become custom

The niche was so cool I had to wait and it paid off

[sullen sand]

Well Wooting isn't custom They just have custom options

Other companies limit you to the same case

Like the Two HE I guess

[timid abyss]

again, I feel like I need to get the premium option on the 80 since I only have the plastic case on my 60

[valid comet]

Well they can be depending on how custom you want them to be

[pseudo parrot]

I’m at least glad that wooting doesn’t void your warranty by just opening it up lol

[sullen sand]

Well in terms of selling the modules separately that is only a very recent thing from Wooting

[valid comet]

You get a free carrying case with zinc

[ebon sluice]

Well, if you factor in keyboard design and switch feel/sound then there's a lot of nice kits out there. But in a gaming sense, I wouldn't touch MX switches ever again - no contest

[sullen sand]

They have been going for years before that just selling the keyboards, but with options to go custom

[verbal solar]

how soon can i expect an email back from wooting?

[valid comet]

Im going from speed silvers

[dapper tide]

couple days mate

[valid comet]

Speed silvers were so nice as mechanicals

[sullen sand]

I haven't used MX for like... 5 years+

[brave yoke]

I'm coming from mx browns

[tight cypress]

I'm coming from MX Blues

[sullen sand]

You really haven't tried many switches other than MX have you 😅

[ebon sluice]

For work I prefer MX as I grit my teeth and type heavyily

[sullen sand]

I use kailh creams on my work keyboard

[valid comet]

I remember using those

It was fun but it was abhorent for geometry dash and precision games

[sullen sand]

Clickies are a bannable offence here

[valid comet]

Whats a wooting member

[pseudo parrot]

I’m coming from romer g’s

[valid comet]

I remember using those too

[tight cypress]

[pseudo parrot]

I still like the board, good memories of it haha

[valid comet]

nwn

[pseudo parrot]

Was the g810

[valid comet]

G910, G810, G Pro original

[pseudo parrot]

nice

[valid comet]

I was sidegrading so much

[sullen sand]

A true PC gamer with an ifixit screwdriver

[valid comet]

Then I got the Pro X mechanical but the delay was so bad

[pseudo parrot]

I had the g810 until it double typing like crazy and volume slider stopped working kinda then I gave up and ordered a 2he

[ruby vale]

I'll give that a try, thank you!

[pseudo parrot]

Not before trying the apex pro tho which was miserable

[ebon sluice]

we've yet to see the bottom of the 80HE, I hope it comes with a clock

[sullen sand]

[valid comet]

And then here I am with a Corsair K70 TKL RGB speed silver because clearance for 100 CAD and was a super fast board

[pseudo parrot]

Sounds like a nice upgrade going to 80he

[sullen sand]

Wooting is night and day difference to your Corsair, you'll enjoy the upgrade

You won't ever want to use your Corsair again, I promise

[pseudo parrot]

yesh especially the online configurator really sold me, not planning on buying a keyboard without this feature again lol

[brave yoke]

coming from a ducky one 3 sf (got it as a gift :P)

[valid comet]

80HE is endgame

[sullen sand]

Until the 80HE+++ Super

[pseudo parrot]

Ultra

[valid comet]

And knuckles

[pseudo parrot]

Anyways time to forget that I ordered this board until it shows up on my doorstep

[sullen sand]

Good luck, you'll be staring at the Wooting site in July and comign here asking why it hasn't moved

[pseudo parrot]

[valid comet]

I siw total click latency for the corsair at 4k scan 8k poll was the same as a 60HE Tachyon (1k scan/poll), about 1-1.5ms~

[elfin dock]

My current keyboard is the Logitech K860. Only downgrade with the Wooting will be the comfort.

[pseudo parrot]

Yea I’m coping I checked the hub pretty much daily when I ordered the 2he

[fallen epoch]

Finally, something to keep track of my respawn timer

[umbral locust]

Btw are we still expecting some knob announcement or is that idea scraped?

[sullen sand]

In terms of features like the software though, the rapid triggers, the mod taps, the DKS

It's non comparable click latency means nothing

[pseudo parrot]

Yes there is a knob in the works , which is a separate project but beyond this I have no clue

[valid comet]

Firmware and PCB too

They did an amazing job

[elfin dock]

What are the knobs for? Are they volume knobs?

[sullen sand]

Corsair and co just sell overpriced garbage to the general public and 90% of people gobble it up

[pseudo parrot]

Not sure I don’t believe they’ve said anything specific about it yet

[fallen epoch]

They be whatever you want if you believe

[sullen sand]

In reality they are low quality products

[valid comet]

True, I just needed a board because my old one was way worse and it was on clearance

[sullen sand]

Don't worry we have all been there, I've had a corsair keyboard in the past

A long time ago, would never buy one now

[balmy gust]

Will the knob attach to the initial iteration of the 80he or will it require a whole new case

[umbral locust]

Yeah that's what I am curious about, like how would the add on be added in the future.

[valid comet]

The fact it is not hotswap is poo tho

I busted my up arrow

Because I used it too much and I dont know how to solder

[hearty sky]

its just 3 days and i cant hold my patience to get my 80HE in August 😦

[dreamy sedge]

Had 3 Corsair keebs never again xD

[obtuse wagon]

It takes the spot of a keycap I do believe

[ebon sluice]

Soldering is easy but desoldering sucks without a desolder gun, which are very expensive. But if you're only replacing a few switches a pump will do the job fine

[valid comet]

Im desoldering a switch

Because corsair dumb

No hotswap in 2022 why

[ebon sluice]

[valid comet]

All that changes with the 80HE

[low token]

Well logitech without HE keeb. Weird

[jolly tangle]

not weird

[valid comet]

They havent been doing anything with keyboards, just rehashing

[low token]

Oh yeah. They do not care

[valid comet]

Ive been a logitech shill for so much of my teenage years its sad

[winged pelican]

why is being a logitech shill sad

they're a great company who stand behind their products - logitech peripherals are top tier quality

because they're not innovating? wooting is already doing that - they can have their own market but I'm sure they will eventually roll this way also

i can't imagine wooting replacing a keyboard or mouse after 10 years of use

[fallen epoch]

Nothings more funny to me than finalmeme

[low token]

Well last good logitech mouse was logitech g502 lightspeed

[burnt rune]

Hello quick question dose Wooting allow monthly payments cant find anything on it

What mouse is comfortable that plays well with the disability ?

[low token]

G502

@obtuse wagon everything depends on disability

In my case g502 os perfect in other would be small mouse like gps

I had to return g502x because it is much worse

really?

any flex/creaking?

like at all?

[valid comet]

Nah its perfect

[idle depot]

wow

Have they added the 8k polling yet with its current dongle

cause if 8k doesnt work with the provided dongle i'd think its a little overpriced with other mice like it out now

[soft talon]

After getting the prebuilt with alloy I’m already looking for how I can better improve it. Any suggestions. So far all I can think of are keycaps and even then idk how to look for compatible ones.

[feral seal]

what would push people towards the zinc? im heavily considering it for the premium feel but ghost also looks really cool and itd be $150aud cheaper 😭

[idle depot]

Cherry profile are compatible

i'd look at KBDFans for keycaps

[gilded kindle]

I went with ghost too since I’m a sucker for translucent tech hehehh
Almost went raw zinc

[feral seal]

im thinking it'd look so dope but dont wanna miss out on anything when im already paying a premium

[gilded kindle]

FWIW my plastic 60HE is built like a tank and very solid

[soft talon]

When looking for keycaps, what should I check for to make sure all keys are covered. I don’t wan to accidentally have missing keys…

[gilded kindle]

Just get a full set lol

[feral seal]

ahh i have a ducky 1 2 sf rn and it creaks like a mf so im weary of plastics lmao

[gilded kindle]

(TKL is fine too)

[gilded kindle]

Yeah I mean ducks do quack

[idle depot]

most "base sets" have all the keys you need lol

[soft talon]

Thanks, just getting into keyboards and stuff, sorry for the seemingly basic questions

[idle depot]

check KBDfans they are reliable and got a pretty nice selection

[gilded kindle]

There is no such thing as a stupid question, welcome!

[thorny breach]

hi thinking getting 2 80he but does it only give 1 set of swtich pack?

If you’re in the founder campaign you’ll get two sets for the price of one with the module, or 60v2’s installed and a loose kit of 45v2’s with the pre assemble

[umbral locust]

If you mean the freebie you need to place seperate orders or contact support.

[lunar arch]

Anyone here who own a wooting one TKL

[gilded kindle]

Just be careful—you’ll soon have far too many keyboards to know what to do with 😂

The slope be slippery

[low token]

I had chance to buy used

[gilded kindle]

I have 6 keyboards and the 80HE’ll be my 7th lmao

[lunar arch]

You are in the same boat lol

[gilded kindle]

I’d say get the HE stuff, the adjustable actuation point and rapid trigger are game changers, literally.

[lunar arch]

@low token Do you know if if 80he will be different ?

[gilded kindle]

Soooo much more responsive

[low token]

In what matter

[fallen epoch]

Less wobble and any form of tkl is all i needed and im satisfied

[lunar arch]

The response the switch ?

[low token]

It will be same as 60he

Just less wobble

[lunar arch]

Do you have 60he ?

[low token]

Yes

[lunar arch]

Omg sorry to spam message here

But how different is 60he from one ?

[gilded kindle]

Wellll the 80HE will be more responsive than the 60HE due to the 8k polling, but diminishing returns for sure.

[low token]

Lekkers switches, rspid trigger more stuff etc

[fallen epoch]

Rappy snappy :)

[tiny tartan]

LED BAR

[gilded kindle]

60HE is still the most responsive keyboard I’ve touched to date, by far

[low token]

One had only analog mode and actuation point change option

[soft talon]

I’m already thinking of switching to l45 from pre installed l60

[fallen epoch]

Led bar my love, he shall be orange

[low token]

Same

[gilded kindle]

60HE will get rappy snappy in a software update

[lunar arch]

And I feel one keys compared to apex pro tkl extremely slow

[fallen epoch]

I know, just a funny thing

[gilded kindle]

Such a good name 😂

[lunar arch]

The new keyboard will be good for Val and CS Go and not COD ?

[fallen epoch]

Itll be good for gaming in general

Anything you play, casual or competitive its a solid board

[dense ridge]

i would say the best keyboard technically

[gilded kindle]

Only fitting that the best board (60HE) will get dethroned by another wooting lol

[lunar arch]

I did not gain much from a used wooting one tkl compared to Apex pro tkl 2023

[low token]

Well yes

[dense ridge]

impossible to see the difference between 8k and 1k

even for pro gamers

[gilded kindle]

Ok so no I’ll have to disagree. Technically they’re not the same due to the daughter board and 8K polling, but realistically, yes I agree that they’ll perform identically yes.

On a technical level they’re different beasts, but it’s splitting hairs 100% lol

[fallen epoch]

I know im not gonna use 8k personally, 1ks more than enough for me at least

[dense ridge]

@fallen epochme too

[gilded kindle]

Yep. Considering all my gaming is online netcode is by far a way bigger factor.

[dense ridge]

i am not sure that it will not affect the perfomance of the games

[frank mist]

Remember, this is true 8K polling vs any 8K polling

[dense ridge]

like a mouse with 8k polling do

[frank mist]

Mouse doesn't have true 8K polling?

[gilded kindle]

I’d love to see people blind testing 1k vs 8k and see if even pros can tell the difference lol

[dense ridge]

but we will see 🙂 need to test anyway 🙂

[fallen epoch]

8ks nice, but the switches are more something i look at

Lekkers made previous boards so obsolete to me

[frank mist]

I made my Apex Pro TKL 2023 wireless Thocc

[dense ridge]

@frank mist 🙂

[lunar arch]

How ?

Can you make the arrow keys Omni point ?

[frank mist]

Krytox lube on the side of the switches with Ducky douleshot PBT Keycaps.
Spacebar is challenging, still working on it.

[frank mist]

Arrow keys? nope

I lubed the heck out of the switches

[lunar arch]

That’s the only thing I hate about this keyboard

[frank mist]

The wireless one sounds so much better than the regular apex pros.

You can actually Thock the wireless

[lunar arch]

Nice

Are they making a 2024 ?

[frank mist]

No idea. But I am excited to get the 80he in ghost form

[lunar arch]

Same

I got the Ghost version now I have to sell my wooting one tkl hehehe

[clear swallow]

Ghost with grey/black keys for me

[placid pawn]

Just ordered, rly hope that "early august" is correct. TKL would been great, but prob 80% it's just fine. First keyboard ever without numpad and I use numpad a lot so lets see...

[umbral locust]

buy a seperate numpad

[marble gull]

Any chance I'll get it before August?

Maybe June or May

[jade widget]

always a chance but equally a chance it comes after august

[umbral locust]

Absolutely not

[tiny tartan]

no lol

[fallen epoch]

Def not may/june

[marble gull]

Thanks..

[fallen epoch]

The hubs usually pretty accurate so id trust whatever it says

[tiny tartan]

https://g.co/gemini/share/120e76f61c0d

the a.i has spoken

[umbral python]

So unless you’re a top 1% Chad gamer, it makes little to no perceived difference

😆

[tiny tartan]

and minimal impact on performance

[primal skiff]

I am a top 1% but im scared i wont feel it ngl

Feel like my other peripherals aint it- like my monitor

[jade widget]

Yeah you're definitely not feeling a change from 1k to 8k, if you bought the board for that reason I feel you will be disappointed

[primal skiff]

I bought it cuz i been using some random pre-built pseudo custom keyboard but it has really bad response times

Even my shitty razer keyboard from like 2015 had better response times

[soft quarry]

whats better pbt or abs?

[primal skiff]

The rapid trigger along with the rappy snappy is 100% going to make a difference

[jade widget]

Yeah I mean it's going to be better than that but over the already existing 60he it's not going to be noticeable

[primal skiff]

For sure pbt

[primal skiff]

Im not sure how rappy snappy will feel, but after testing the 60he at a friends place, it honestly makes a world’s difference for valorant when you have to come to a full stop to shoot

[jade widget]

Preference really I personally prefer abs for higher quality legends and better variety of colour options you can't get with PBT

Although PBT are more durable

[eager sundial]

all black NPC keyboard enjoyer

gotta go with pbt lollllll

bought my first wooting after years because finally my favourite layout, just shame gotta wait so long

[rigid sphinx]

Any chance for Mac specific F Key caps?

[jade widget]

Plenty of third party options for mac

[rigid sphinx]

Only ones I can think of is from Keychon.

[eager sundial]

Mac

[polar stirrup]

bro get a real pc

[eager sundial]

Bro needs rapid trigger for iMovie

[proper dew]

Why roasting people with the same excitement and interest as ourselves. Let the homie get the wooting for his mac

[jade widget]

I guess you right, not too many options for f-row

i found this one that has media keycaps https://drop.com/buy/drop-biip-mt3-extended-custom-keycap-set?defaultSelectionIds=969821

[rigid sphinx]

In case you're all wondering, I use both Mac and PC.

F Specific keys, would do well with a USB switcher.

[jade widget]

actually Nuphy has them too https://nuphy.com/collections/keycaps/products/gem-msa?_pos=4&_fid=82905094e&_ss=c

[rigid sphinx]

Between work and gaming time.

[jade widget]

not cherry profile though

[rigid sphinx]

This might be it!

Looks like it might go well with blank zinc case.

[jade widget]

yeah they're not bad I have Nuphy board they're decent quality keycaps for the price

[rigid sphinx]

Only thing is that i hear the Wooting keycaps let light through the actual letters?

[jade widget]

they have two different sets one's shine through and the other is not

Nuphy also has a shine through set if that's what you're after

[pastel dust]

Just ordering zinc alloy case is it entitled for free carrying case and L60/L45 switches?

[idle depot]

zinc alloy always gets carry

and if your order campaign you do get one of the two

[jade widget]

yeah you get carrying case with zinc but for free switches you need to order a set with it to get a free set in addition

[pastel dust]

Got it! Thanks

[quasi torrent]

What do you think guys will the Raptor HE Gaming Switches work on 80he?

[polar stirrup]

Yes i think so

[midnight iron]

dam about to pass $4 mil and still batch 1 is open? that's crazy big

[steady escarp]

man what's the batch size then? gotta be 15-20k at least

[midnight iron]

i think thing that makes it tricky to guess is we don't know how many orders are bulk/3+ keyboards that got sent to batch 2

[pastel hare]

Can’t wait to see my new baby 🤧

[tropic quest]

Looks like everyone and their mom is gonna have an 80HE

[vast edge]

hell ye

[midnight iron]

all of japan it seems. If you look on twitter for 80HE and sort by latest posts it's filled with entire japanese community buying wootings lol

[valid comet]

something I noticed on the wooting 60HE+, especially board v1.1.6 (tokaku's unit) the spacebar has I think 5 leds. does the 80 HE have something similar to that?

[tiny tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[spark hound]

Waiting

[proper dew]

Is it July already

[valid comet]

do we know if the coiled cables will be enough for the 80HE PCB at 100% brightness?

[proper dew]

yes it will be

if you use the original cables of Wooting then you should not have any problems

[valid comet]

Just checking because I bought the wooting stealth cable so ye

Ok so about my question asking about the 60HE PCB vs the 80HE PCB, its very small but I would still like to know since I like using the backwards spacebar method for ergonomics

Tokaku did a review on the 60HE ANSI, and my friend and I noticed that the spacebar alone had 5 LEDs on that model. Does the 80HE ANSI have 5 LEDs under the space key too? Its not a huge deal but it does aid with backlight/lighting uniformity throughout the key.

Image 1 and 2 is the normal spacebar

Image 3 and 4 is the backwards spacebar

[lime falcon]

80he has 5 leds iirc

[tight cliff]

https://wooting-website.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/612ca8920bc3a648125ffac3/65eb385fe1440d501db0dc1e_MMMMMODUILE.png Here's a picture from Wootings page, JIS

[lime falcon]

btw that backwards spacebar looks so bad

[lime falcon]

erm, 2?

[valid comet]

Thats the JIS layout

[lime falcon]

ah i cant count

[valid comet]

I dont think the ANSI layout is finalized for the board for online images

[tight cliff]

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/1383/3071/products/W80HE_Module_ANSI.png?v=1710331351 Here's the ANSI & Nordic https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/1383/3071/products/W80HE_Module_ISO.png?v=1710331351

[valid comet]

Not sure if this is a finalized version

[lime falcon]

yea i was right it has 5 leds

[valid comet]

Something like this but ANSI

[tight cliff]

The Nordic have 5 and the Ansi seem to be missing them but will probably have them too

[valid comet]

Probably an oversight for the preview

The reason I use the backwards spacebar is because it digs into my thumb

And the LEDs help with the backlight uniformity

[tight cliff]

Ok you can check the pics in the Configurator, even the JIS seem to have a few things that could be fixed

[hearty sky]

Any third party case for 80HE ?

is there any ?

[lime falcon]

not yet

i guess there will be 3rd party cases at the end of this year

[hearty sky]

Hopefully

[native ginkgo]

howdy

[lime falcon]

u dont like zinc alloy case?

[hearty sky]

Loved that but it was beyond my budget so I ordered normal 80he

[hard vale]

Do u know how much the 80he zinc alloy weighs?

[hard vale]

I ordered that

[lime falcon]

about 2kg

[lime falcon]

relatable

[hard vale]

Wow 4x my huntsman mini it will be nice

[hearty sky]

now im just worried that my keyboard arrives safely and in working condition
Saw some feedback posts on 60HE .. people get weird issues

[lime falcon]

nah you will be fine, i was also like that when i ordered my 60he

[hearty sky]

So how was the experience? The packaging ? Unboxing exp ?

[lime falcon]

very good, u dont have to worry about packaging

[hearty sky]

okay man .. cant wait now 🤭🤭

4-5 months 😭

[lime falcon]

just forget about it for 4 months

[hearty sky]

yeah man .. I wish they launch when they got the stock .. I really don’t get the logic of it that they launch and they dont have any stock yet

[lime falcon]

almost 13000 people ordered it

[hearty sky]

yeah but its like you opened a shop but its empty 💀💀

No offence tbh

[lime falcon]

they need budget to make keyboards

[hearty sky]

True true

[lime falcon]

4 million dollars is pretty nice number

[hearty sky]

Nice.? Its huge

[lime falcon]

yea

its slowly going up rn, first day was like 3 million

[zealous kernel]

i'm not tripping, the l60 switches come with he h80 right? And u get the l45s for free

[arctic hatch]

Best place for custom keycaps compatible for the 60HE?

[lime falcon]

yes, with L60 v2

[midnight iron]

if you ordered prebuilt then yes

[zealous kernel]

yeah i did, ok thanks

[thorn echo]

are you not able to buy the 80HE with L45 switches included?

[flint junco]

you get them as a free addon

[toxic zephyr]

don't ask in multiple channels

[surreal wasp]

Skibidi sigma

[proper dew]

if you buy the module u can select what type of switches u want iirc, but yeah with the prebuilt you get the L60 switches and the L45 for free

[surreal wasp]

Is it okay for me to open up my woothing 80he despite it coming preassembled?

[buoyant solstice]

[surreal wasp]

Do i need some special screw drivers? Or are some wera screw drivers okay?

[dim sierra]

P1 most likely

[light escarp]

So long as it fits and it doesnt damage anything other than that it shld work

[violet garnet]

will it be ok to swap switches without taking the whole board apart?

[light escarp]

Yes

Just get a switch puller and a keycap puller

[violet garnet]

and that comes with the board?

[wary adder]

keycap yes

switch no

[violet garnet]

switch puller is separate

not too much extra for it tho

[buoyant solstice]

Comes with both in one.

[dim sierra]

Really? Isnt it a double sided tool

[wary adder]

oh wow NICE!

[violet garnet]

[minor quiver]

is it only working with cabel or its wireless too ?

[proper dew]

not wireless.

[safe surge]

Hello guys, i order my Wooting 60he + few weeks before and he was no stock. But now he is on stock and i dont have any date or informations for my delivery
