[lilac plaza]

oh it's big hah

[lime falcon]

what even is this💀

[lilac plaza]

Damn, looks like I can still get a new FC660C but price is now $500

[lime aspen]

recolored jades maybe

[lilac plaza]

fake Jades?

[lime aspen]

thats what it claims to be, very well could be a scam though 🤣

genuine recolor or fake jades, id do some more searching before buying it

[lime falcon]

nah im not buying this bs lol

night are u at pc rn?

[lime aspen]

yeah

[valid comet]

who would want a recolor anyway the jades look so... jade already

[lime falcon]

can u dm

[lilac plaza]

Why do people prefer corded keyboards?

[umbral locust]

Because my keyboard is always stationary

[lilac plaza]

Yea it's not as big of a deal as a mouse, but it's still one more thing to plugin every day when I get to work

and one more cable on my desk

[umbral locust]

Wireless will just add extra cost to me for no reason, add the hassle of charging and potential of battery failure. Just makes more sense to stick with wired for me. I also use a KVM so I need wired peripherals to use both of my PCs.

[lilac plaza]

I have a KVM wireless dongle works just fine

[umbral locust]

My KVM is built into my monitor, wireless didn't work for me 😦

[humble cargo]

I have a wireless bt keyboard for my laptop because it sits a bit off to the side and also the internal kb is dead

[umbral locust]

rip

[humble cargo]

for my desktop tho, corded is just better

[humble cargo]

laptops and pints of beer don't mingle

[lilac plaza]

I have 4 computers plugged into this monitor. Only has a 2 way KVM, so I'm better off with a sofware one. Except multiplicity won't work because I can't install it on my work computer, but I was able to scoop powertoys (which isn't as good but in combinationw ith monitor KVM I make due)

[jade widget]

I don't see the appeal of wireless keyboards aside from like a media PC setup

[lilac plaza]

Mine is too, it should work find with one of those wireless dongles

[umbral locust]

I'll have to give it another go and see what the issue was then

[lilac plaza]

cordless anything is better (excpet maybe hardcore gaming). I have so many cables with these 4 computers on my desk

[umbral locust]

I def see the appeal for it, it's just not really appealing to me. tons of people have use cases where wireless is nice for them.

[lilac plaza]

which monitor?

[umbral locust]

GB M27Q

[lilac plaza]

I wire my internet still, but would love to ditch the cord on my keyboard

[humble cargo]

wouldn't want to switch back to wired mouse but for keys it don't matter to me

[lilac plaza]

Maye plug it into the computer directly first to make sure it works. I'm using the dongle with the KVM on my Samsung G9 and it works fine though.

[jade widget]

Yeah mouse makes sense you physically move the mouse and cord creates drag

[lilac plaza]

Or if you have admin on your computers just get Multiplicity that software KVM is amazing.

plus you can share your clipboard, and speakers etc.

[umbral locust]

ooo ill have to give that a go for sure then

[lilac plaza]

Or you can try MouseWithoutBoarders if your on windows only. It's part of powertoys.

[verbal solar]

Hello everyone, on wooting webpage it is written, that Wooting 80 is expected at warehouse at mid-july, I must get the keyboard before august, should I pre-order it?

[lilac plaza]

powertoys is free, but it seems to disconnect which you get an admin prompt, or when my work computer would go to sleep; I could not wake it up with ctrl-alt-delete. Where as multiplicity worked fine.

[umbral locust]

If you "must" get it before august then get another keyboard.

[lime falcon]

estimated delivery for first batch is like July-August

[jade widget]

These are nice https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/p/4-port-km-switch-with-usb-32-gen-1-mouse-roaming-function

[lilac plaza]

but I don't have admin on my work PC, so I use Powertoys anyways, I was able to scoop install it lol

[verbal solar]

Oke, thank u

[umbral locust]

In an ideal world, stock makes it to the warehouse mid-late july and it ships out in august.

[verbal solar]

U too

[umbral locust]

But delays could happen, thats why I wouldn't preorder if you need it before August.

[lilac plaza]

Oh nice, this has the mouse roam, so I just mouse to the next screen and the keyboard and mouse auto transfer over?

[lime falcon]

i dont expect any delays but yea can happen

[lilac plaza]

only use with single display is pretty limiting, but it would work for me

[umbral locust]

They are gonna be slammed with 20K keyboards to ship out, it's gonna take a while if you are on the bottom of the list.

[jade widget]

Video explains it better than i can https://youtu.be/vieCb-qQPD4?si=ptEbbM7qXubjkSXc

[lilac plaza]

I was looking for a hardware solution since my work PC is so locked down.

[jade widget]

Yeah I've heard good things Wendels a bit a magician 🎩

[lilac plaza]

yea this is what the multiplicity / powertoys allows me to do with sofware, only I can share sound and clippboard and even copy files too

I would only buy that if software wan't an option (sometimes it isn't)

Basically with multiplicity I can have sound coming from all the computers at once. However the sound thing can be a bit glitchy

Also some Dell monitors have the auto roam KVM built into them too, and if you chain them it works across multiple displays

at least I'm 90% certain I had that working at the office before the pandemic

[solid wagon]

Hello Im new here, I ordered my Wooting 80he yesterday and Im located in America, does anyone know around when my keyboard will be ready? Any help would be greatly appreciated

[tight cypress]

You can check here https://hub.wooting.io/my/orders

Most likely late July/early August

[solid wagon]

Great, thank you!

[lunar arch]

Question i have wooting one tkl and the key press feels extremly rough how can i fix that ?

[valid comet]

probably with lube

do you have 205g0?

[ebon sluice]

Do you have spare switches, otherwise try swapping it with a key you don’t use much. Lubing also worth trying

[polar stirrup]

Its worth at least opening the switches. See if theres dust. Clean and lube.

[lilac plaza]

I ordered the white alloy case, but I think I'm going to want different keycaps., maybe gray or blue or something

[red heart]

lube it, i lubed my switches the other week and it made a very big difference

my one is a lot of fun to use again

[lunar arch]

Thank you

[red heart]

i used the lube and tool set from the wooting store but you can probably find similar elsewhere

[lunar arch]

I was sad as I ordered 80

[red heart]

i ordered 80he and still did this

makes it nicer for the next person that gets it (or me if i need a backup keyboard)

[lunar arch]

Question before you use the lube where the keys kind of hard to press in your opinion?

[red heart]

i just lubed every key

[lunar arch]

Right

But were they kind of hard to press rough ?

[red heart]

before, yes

my wasd and qwert were very scratchy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN_-GYLTfpY heres a video showing how to take apart the switches and lube stabs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXrQOLGuVgc here is to show how to lube the flaretech switches (the ones wooting one uses)

[lunar arch]

Can I use this ?

[red heart]

you will need a bunch of stuff

to be honest i kind of think getting the kit from wooting is going to make your life a lot easier finding everything

but yeah it will make typing a joy again

[gray shard]

[red heart]

just know that it will take you about 4 hours to do the entire process so make sure to plan ahead on a weekend

[lunar arch]

Do you have the link for the kit ?

[red heart]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-switch-lubricant-lube-set

make sure to select the lower option

that will also include brushes, a switch opener and everything else you will need

[lunar arch]

my k70 tkl finally died

f

[idle depot]

You prepping for your 80HE build?

[kind spade]

can anyone cash app me 200 so i can get a wooting 60he

[umbral locust]

sure

[kind spade]

actually

[narrow whale]

just submitted my pre-order

[kind spade]

aww man

[cursive lily]

I wish i could just speed up time and get it rn

[hearty cliff]

same

[quasi cloud]

put my order in today also

[narrow whale]

what configurations did u order ? :0

[narrow whale]

also curious abt ur order too !

[narrow whale]

ouu both are good picks

[solemn sphinx]

part of the club now

[umbral locust]

one of us

[solemn sphinx]

wait i need to get that role now

[thorny aspen]

rappy snappy sounds like hell in valorant but godly in overwatch

[solemn sphinx]

ayoo

[twin palm]

boo

[green hull]

Dude im so confused at check it says its like 271 then as soon as i go to pay it changes to 323

It like applies a discount then removes it

Order done anyways

[grave willow]

Will rappy snappy work for single key pressing only? To understand it right, it wont be so good for games like wow, where I e.g. press ctrl + 1. It would disable one of the buttons right? So in theory better for fps games right?

Im not sure i understand it correctly

[green hull]

Im assuming youll be able to disable it in the software

[grave willow]

Yea of course, hope so

[green hull]

But its just whatever key you press harder is priority just press them both real hard

[hot sinew]

So what happened to the supposed knob module?

[green hull]

Knob

[umbral locust]

Rappy Snappy only works on 2 keys that get paired, A and D is what they demonstrated.

So you don't have to worry about other key combinations, it's mostly just there for movement in FPS but am sure people will find other uses for it.

[honest sable]

@umbral locust how long till the roles pop up since ordering?

[umbral locust]

a few hours, you just gotta refresh the hub

[honest sable]

heard that, you play r6 at all?

[oblique lichen]

When adding to cart, it shows discounted price sans shipping and taxes/duties.
At checkout it displays full value - discount + shipping + taxes/duties.

[umbral locust]

nah

[green hull]

I figured as much but i was already at checkout like i said it was literally as soon as i clicked pay that it changed, figured it was just a bug

[oblique lichen]

Likely calculated shipping/duties when you clicked to pay. Ex filled everything out then left shipping details until the end?

[green hull]

No like everything was calculated then inpress pay and says proces have been updated so maybe, i dont mind though just thought was weird

[oblique lichen]

As along as the invoice numbers add up = what counts 😊

[valid comet]

the 80HE daughterboard, can it be seperated by hand from the 80HE Module Mainboard?

and if it gets damaged can we order daughterboards?

[fallen forge]

hands is probably the prefered implement

[valid comet]

yes definitely

my k70 died because its usb port is now mangled

i dont want a dead daughterboard to leave me from using an 80HE

[fallen forge]

if i remember correctly daughter board comes with every case, i'd assume you'd be able to get them separately as well (spare parts and all)

[valid comet]

i bought it as an AIO package in black zinc

[fallen forge]

but ye i wouldn't worry about it much, the fact that there's a separate board for usb port is good for repairability, worst case scenario you get a spare part and plug it in yourself

[jade widget]

you could always resolder a new usb port onto the daughterboard

or take it into a tech shop that does soldering to do it for you

[lunar dragon]

No updates this week?

[tight cypress]

It's Thursday, so maybe today, maybe tomorrow

[lime falcon]

what will be todays topic

hmmmge

hope switches or a knob

[tight cypress]

I guess further development regarding on how cases look
I'd say it's too early for knob, but if I'd say it, then there'd be definitely news about the knob

[lime falcon]

[sweet skiff]

By any chance, do you think it is still possible to add items in my order ? I only bought the 80HE Module and the case, but I want the switches aswell now...

[lime falcon]

You have to send an email [e-mail]

[sweet skiff]

Ok thanks !

[polar stirrup]

im pretty sure it has warranty

[wary abyss]

those repair places would probably charge you like $50 to solder for you

[karmic canyon]

a knob is confirmed? wouldnt that have to be an entirely new order

[jade widget]

sounds cheaper than buying a new keeb

[wary abyss]

naww, if you plan on soldering more than once, it's way better to just buy your own soldering equipment and supplies

[jade widget]

yeah but a lot of people don't share the same interest in doing so and that's fair

[wary abyss]

oof, imagine being rich

[jade widget]

or maybe you know a guy who knows a guy

[wary abyss]

oof, imagine having friends

[tight cypress]

Nope, there wasn't

[icy cosmos]

There’s a simple solution for not breaking the port - make it deeper, just like Angelbird https://youtu.be/ut2-74s5UyE?si=_LhPW5apx8JIcCNF

Video/Audio Professional gears often employ solutions to reduce failure points. The reason why PC industry doesn’t have these designs is that PC people don’t want to pay overprice for good design

Apple people on the other hand, over paying for their shitty laptop designs as Louis.R has pointed out for years 🤣.

[wind tiger]

or you know, offer reasonable replacement parts

like USB daughterboards (there legit are good open source ones)

https://github.com/Unified-Daughterboard/

[vast edge]

is it possible to modify your order

[fiery spire]

do we have any pictures of the ghost keyboard with rgb on? would love to see how it looks!

[upbeat berry]

yes by emailing us

[icy cosmos]

Being able to buy spare parts is the reason I support this company. But the durability of a product is by design. Overengineering FTW 😉 .

[icy cosmos]

Yes you can. through the customer support

[dense ridge]

I am wondering if the number 6 ( silicone gasket mount ) will become yellow over time in transparent cases?

[buoyant solstice]

Only one way to find out I suppose.

[dense ridge]

or there are used special materials to prevent this?

[vast edge]

silicone yellows in absence of sunlight?

[dense ridge]

i mean, as i know silicone can become yellow bc of sunlight's UV

[buoyant solstice]

You're saying that keeping it in the dark causes it to go yellow. Not having it in sun.

[vast edge]

presence* not absence

[dense ridge]

it was a copy past from google 🙂 thats why i have deleted it.. i think it becomes yellow bc of the sunlight

or am i wrong?

[tight cypress]

UV to be specific, it might, yeah

[buoyant solstice]

Well it's hidden away below the PC plate, switches AND keycaps. What sunlight would it receive?

You can't see it, sun can't see it.

[buoyant solstice]

Context always helps.

[jade jacinth]

ye

[tight cypress]

I don't think it'll be a problem, unless you specifically leave your keyboard in direct sunlight

[buoyant solstice]

I don't have that answer for you, but I'll pass it along.

[red heart]

I‘m installing a uv light inside my 80he to see if it yellows

[dense ridge]

thanks

[ebon sluice]

Should be ok, my setup is still pristine

[pseudo parrot]

Banger setup, touching grass while at the computer

[rustic idol]

All you need to touch grass

[tight cypress]

Would you look at that

[rustic idol]

[tight cypress]

Work laptop

[steep bobcat]

does the pre order mean that i dont need to pay again for the keyboard if i want to buy it?Ik its a stupid question but its my first time doing these kinda things

[hoary quiver]

💀

[tight cypress]

Yeah, you need only to pay once, during checkout

[buoyant solstice]

Unless your country has separate import fees? Yes that is what it means.

[digital elm]

Just making sure, I won't pay customs in France, I already paid taxes at checkout right?

[hoary quiver]

i can imagine my mom asking me the same question when i wansted some shitty game i cant remember 15 years ago

[buoyant solstice]

Correct

[hoary quiver]

tax is always included in the price/shipping

[buoyant solstice]

Please stop spreading incomplete/misinformation 😛

[hoary quiver]

in eu for sure it is

[buoyant solstice]

That is ONLY the case within the EU, US and CA and UK.

[digital elm]

@buoyant solstice @hoary quiver just making sure, cuz I once bought something and had to pay 50€ of customs and I had 2 items, so in total 100€ more

[buoyant solstice]

from where

[digital elm]

you pretty much know where I think, it has been fixed now tho

[buoyant solstice]

I have literally no clue what you're talking about. But suffice to say if you import things from outside of the EU, you're going to be paying import duties.

[digital elm]

Ohhh from where, the US, finalmouse

[buoyant solstice]

Well there you go.

[digital elm]

Yeah ahah, I think that they now take in charge import fees now tho

[steep bobcat]

im not sure if mine does ngl

[steep bobcat]

for the uk do i need to pay import fees or?

[dim sierra]

Yes, it will show at checkout

[fallen forge]

even in eu it's not always the case, i've even been slapped with additional fees on top of the usual vat when packages arrived (not from wooting obviously, and it's rare in general)

[steep bobcat]

so i basically already paid when i preordered?

[dim sierra]

Yeah

[primal bear]

Yip

[steep bobcat]

ok ty

[buoyant solstice]

#🌟│wooting80he message

Pinged me twice for a question I literally already answered a few posts up 😄

[steep bobcat]

im sorry i didnt see it

[icy cosmos]

You can mix somthing into the silicon to reduce the effect but why do you need to expose the keybord to UV light (Sun light) ? You know that LED lights don´t have UV in them.

[dense ridge]

bc my room is always sunny?

[icy cosmos]

No room in this world is always sunny

[dense ridge]

do u understand everything literally ?

[icy cosmos]

@dense ridge The problem of yellowing of silicon has a cure. As a sneaker head and fan of Jordan 11. You want that ice / transparant outsole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuo6VSDpaas

[icy cosmos]

You´re presenting a problem that is unrealistic that´s all.

[buoyant solstice]

Ladies - To your corners please.

[icy cosmos]

Here´s another one for plastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGDZ7sb2aQ4

[dense ridge]

or look at this.. i would really dont like to have a gasket mount silicone in my keyboard so yellowish

[hoary quiver]

just buy black case if you are that scared of yellowing

[dense ridge]

thats why its important to know 🙂 to decide which case to buy.. ghost or solid black

[dense ridge]

maybe they have added some other materials to prevent this.. and in that case i would just get a ghost one

[digital elm]

The case is $10 so take both and if you see your gasket mount turning yellow swap case

[icy cosmos]

The only company that have a warranty against yellowing is dbrand and Rihnoshield https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fTabIRax_Q

[dense ridge]

it will be already too late bro

[fallen forge]

the gasket in the keyboard is not gonna be exposed to the same amount of uv as a phone case that goes outside in direct sun (it's also most likely a different material so we can't really compare em)

glass in your home blocks uv, even a translucent case will block some, smoky one more so than the "white" one

[buoyant solstice]

It doesn't block enough to be invalid however. Look at any old computer.

[icy cosmos]

None of them have the same properties as the gasket used in this keybord. So unless you add some color it will yellow. Not even Nike can make it happen. I doubt Wooting will be able to.

I dont see it as a problem since there´s a cure to bring it back to cocaine white

or just buy a replacement part if it gets unbearable.

[nova nexus]

Pretty much all materials are affected by sunlight to some degree. It is a star with unimaginable power. What you're asking is if the change over time will be noticeable, which probably depends on your environment and perception. We're not reinventing plastics, do current products on your desk discolor abnormally quickly?

[dense ridge]

my white superlight is becoming yellowish in 1 year probably +-

[fallen forge]

depends on how old we talking about, if it's some REALLY old plastic it might even be the variety that yellows without any uv exposure whatsoever

but ye, safe to say everything yellows, the only question is whether it's quick enough for us to notice

[buoyant solstice]

My point stands - That plastic yellowed as a result of UV.

[icy cosmos]

I mean depending of where you live . Heat, humidity cold will affect the material too. Can´t protect against everything.

[lime aspen]

My 2.5 year old gpx isn't yellowing

[nova nexus]

If that's a problem for you, perhaps go with zinc instead. The paint would be more resistant to change

[dense ridge]

as i said my room is very sunny

[worldly moat]

Hi. Three days have passed, but no one answered me about checking the card. How long should I really wait?

[nova nexus]

Or wash your hands after eating Cheetos 😄

[lime aspen]

As was mine for 2 years of that

[fallen forge]

none is arguing that, actually, none is arguing anything

just adding that it might even yellow without uv involvement

[digital elm]

Expect at least a week I'd say, they have a lot of tickets rn

[icy cosmos]

you can actually get a window tint film just like cars. There are special one made for residential applications

[dense ridge]

its bc of sun Mark, my all devices are super clean

after covid i am washing my hands like 10 times in a day if not more 🙂

[lime aspen]

My room was in direct sunline for like 10 hours a day + I live in the mountains so the UV exposure is even more

[buoyant solstice]

You're still missing my point.

The original argument was that windows blocked UV - That is not the case as I have counterargued twice now.

[dense ridge]

then i dont know what to say

[lime aspen]

Shit rng

[dense ridge]

even my apple earpods becoming yelloish in some parts

[lime aspen]

Bros got the cheese touch

[nova nexus]

If you live near the equator in a region with less moisture in the air it can be more intense

[icy cosmos]

@dense ridge I use product from this company ( 3M has a company too that makes similar things https://llumar.com/na/en/architectural/residential-window-film/solar/

[hoary quiver]

we didnt have to know that one...

[hidden crest]

Lmao

[dense ridge]

if it was possible to get black silicone in black transparent case it would be nice.. but i guess that it will request a lot of work to separate two modules...

[icy cosmos]

The sun has never been a problem. 🤣

[hidden crest]

Imagine gaming with your blinds open

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/the-sun-is-a-deadly-lazer-gif-8691250

[fallen forge]

my bad saying that it blocks uvs as in all uvs, 'partially blocks' would've been more appropriate

[digital elm]

they are proposing a lot of choices already

[dense ridge]

i am speaking about the white rubber wire of the earpods

[hoary quiver]

surely

[digital elm]

Am I right @nova nexus? (I'm not managing tickets so you might be more qualified than me to answer this)

[icy cosmos]

I don´t think he is looking for a solution 🤔

[digital elm]

He is, he wants black silicone, but maybe he can paint it or do something by himself so it's black instead of the current white color

[dense ridge]

dude, its just a question about the durability of the silicone which is used in the keyboard to get an answer to from Calder or somone from Wooting team who knows from which materials the keyboard will be made

[hoary quiver]

i think hes just being racist at this point

[digital elm]

?

[buoyant solstice]

Like I said quite a while ago - We do not have a clear answer about this, but I have passed it onto the team.

[digital elm]

Maybe if you're lucky enough a wild Calder will appear here sometime soon and you might be able to ask him, or worse case scenario you can make a ticket, which will take quite sometime to get answered

[fallen forge]

btw, if the gasket yellowing worries you, the keyboard comes with white pc plate which is more exposed than the gasket itself

[icy cosmos]

I understand your question. But I also understand production, R&D. if there´s a solution to your problem. It would have been on the spec sheet up on quoting for a certain material. They would say somting along the line. if you want UV resistant = 5dollars more / litre
https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40066965/

[fallen forge]

@dense ridge but in general if gaskets yellowing is important to you i'd just go with a black/opaque case and be done with it

[digital elm]

@buoyant solstice is something unclear in my sentence?

[buoyant solstice]

Read the message immediately above yours.

[digital elm]

Oh yeah, but if you passed it onto the team, maybe Calder has an answer or am I not understanding something properly?

[jade widget]

I think this info is incorrect (it's always been $1000) for NZ

[buoyant solstice]

I don't recall mentioning New Zealand with a single word in the message you just quoted.

[jade widget]

you said tax is included in all of those countries but i'd say NZ is also

unless you order something over $1000 which is unlikely

[buoyant solstice]

No. New Zealand just happens to have very high minimums on import duties.

[verbal solar]

4090

[jade widget]

but i wasn't really pointing out that more so that the info wasn't correct on the page

[buoyant solstice]

Again you're mixing things up, Just because NZ has a very high minimum on import duties, doesn't mean you aren't on the hook if you go above.

[jade widget]

whats to misinterpret

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-the-office-mood-me-face-gif-7842240

Go ahead and place an order for an amount above that minimum limit, and tell me how you did not pay import duties, after you've been asked to pay them.

[icy cosmos]

only a day until weekend, hang in there

[buoyant solstice]

Oh I'm already out of office. Easter tiem

[jade widget]

im confused it says $400 but it's actually $1000

[verbal solar]

can u link it

[buoyant solstice]

Then feel free to send us an email about that. None of that has -anything- to do with you quoting me and starting this entire conversation to begin with 😄

[verbal solar]

i wanna read it

alright mb i got kind of sidetracked when finding info and forgot i still was replying to your original message

[buoyant solstice]

[silk hedge]

Any knob news?

[icy cosmos]

You’re in the wrong chat 💬

[silk hedge]

I dont think so

[humble cargo]

no he's in the right place

[tight cypress]

Not yet, apart from it quite possibly exists

[icy cosmos]

So there’s a knob on this keyboard?

[humble cargo]

its coming

[tight cypress]

Knob addon

[mortal aurora]

what is the earliest batch delivery date for EU? is it mid august?

[tight cypress]

Late July/Early August or thereabouts

[icy cosmos]

It’s not what I bought into 🤔

[silk hedge]

Well it's an addon

Can take it off

[tight cypress]

Or just not buy it

[icy cosmos]

Do I need to sacrifice a button?

[silk hedge]

Mayhaps

Maybe 1 or 4 depending on the size of the knob

[icy cosmos]

Ok I see

[silk hedge]

If it even works like that and isnt just exterior, personally i hope for a 1 key sized knob

[icy cosmos]

I like the clean design without a knob.

[tight cypress]

I'll be definitely sticking a knob on UwU

[icy cosmos]

I said it before, should have just made a modular port or something for people who want to add stuff like Framework

[tight cypress]

But it'd introduce more PCB complexity and make it incompatible with older keyboards

[low token]

Hmm tho wooting he keebs are compatible with knobs?

Because I dont think so it is plug and play

[buoyant solstice]

Oh boy. If only I could spill the delicious beans on project Knob.

Soon though. Soon

[low token]

Just say no knobs

[icy cosmos]

I am pro choice

hear me out

wooting keyboard but theres a fat screen on it

[foggy oyster]

any idea why the shipping price has gone up so high, it was 57.00NZD now its nearing $100

[buoyant solstice]

You ordered more, so the weight is increased? Resulting in a higher shipping price?

[fallen forge]

or maybe "screw" is a dumb guess, whatever it is it prolly needs to behave like a rotary encoder and not a min/max thing

unless of course 80he could be turned into audio mixer

[foggy oyster]

No its the same order but separate to my current one, do they stack shipping between orders?

[buoyant solstice]

Throw me some order numbers, and I can check real quick

built in bong

[lofty gazelle]

a knob could easily be integrated on one side of the keyboard (for example the left one, that was never pictured on mockups yet...)

[foggy oyster]

it's okay I have an existing order with $57 I was just trying to amend my order to swap out a switch pack but with the current shipping with Feddex I won't bother cancelling and reordering. Happy to wait for assistance anyways, was just a little confused why it kept rising

[lofty gazelle]

example on another TKL (DesignedByGG's Berseker)

[verbal solar]

ugly

Add built in alexa and then tell her what to do

think smarter not harder

[low token]

You know thats scroll wheel

[lofty gazelle]

indeed, they integrated it rather roughly... no doubt Wooting could come with something more refined.

[low token]

@lofty gazelle we already seen case design

[verbal solar]

how about training alexa to do multiple things then plant it into the keyboard and voila

[foggy oyster]

Okay I figured out why the rate increased it was the addition of the Gateron jades surely that wouldn't have much of an impact as all it is swapping switches

[lofty gazelle]

The case design was always shown from the right side to my knowledge.

[low token]

Knob reveal will be in 4 days

[buoyant solstice]

If you were just under the limit of one shipping price option, and the switches pushed you over that'd explain it. Feel free to email us about it for clarification

[verbal solar]

they surely have to have a 3d sketch of the keyboard before they made it

[foggy oyster]

I have sent through an email a little while ago to amend it by swapping the Lekker 45g to the Gateron jades, i'm happy to wait as the shipping date is months away anyway

[verbal solar]

just hack into their pcs

[digital elm]

I don't know if it's the case for the fully built keybaord but I know that the cases are rendered and not a photo

[verbal solar]

I mean its most likely

that they made a model for the fully built keeb

[foggy oyster]

i'd be curious what the margin was for the rates to go up must be the smallest weight difference

@tight cypress knob reveal will be in 4 days sorry for leak

It’s more like, Samsung forcing everyone to do marketing for them. 🤣

[wary abyss]

? I said it's disabled by default 🤔

[prisma fjord]

If so why do you care at all bro chill he just loves his phone)

[wary abyss]

I don't. It's just funny

[icy cosmos]

Depends on who helped out setting up the phone. I bet you if you buy it from brand store the seller will get a bonus for every phone they prepp with water mark. It can also be preset by some carriers.

The fact that the feature is the is kind of cheesy

[verbal solar]

its fire

[stoic hazel]

Sorry with the phone watermark,my phone set by my friend previously

Ill disable it

[manic steeple]

Is it possible that we get plastic case vs zinc case sound test before founders campaign is over?

I kinda need it to decide what to buy

[buoyant solstice]

Before the founder's campaign? Can't promise that. But definitely within the window, where you'll be able to change your order around.

[manic steeple]

So you are saying i can just buy and i can change after sound test?

[buoyant solstice]

Yep. We'll be allowing everyone to switch their orders around for as long as we're able to.

[manic steeple]

❤️ Thanks for that, that is amazing

[icy cosmos]

No need to be sorry, I feel sorry for you to have a friend who deliberately ruining your great pictures.

Will there be a video of the final version of raw zinc case before the founder's campaign is over? My purchasing decision is basically based on how it looks lol

Hi, I just bought some Jade switches and swapped them on my 60He. But sometimes it will “double tap “ when I pressed keyboard only once, should I do something in wootility after swap switch or I just didn’t install them properly?

I updated the latest firmware

Unplug the keyboard.
Plug it back in.
Wait 3 seconds before pressing any key.

if that doesnt work

Unplug the keyboard.
Hold down the two keys for your model (Refer to the image).
Plug the keyboard back in.
Let go of the keys after 3-4 seconds.
Go to Wootility.

[old solstice]

80he

[hollow sigil]

dam 6m is crazyyyyyyy

soon

[red heart]

just picked up some keycaps time to change my order

[hollow sigil]

I think he meant which version

[fallen epoch]

Which ones

[red heart]

these

[fallen epoch]

Ooh clean

[red heart]

with dualshot 2 accents

[fallen epoch]

I just got my drop keycaps in the mail, gonna move em to the 80he when it gets here

[red heart]

im gonna throw these on my one until the 80he arrives haha

[fallen epoch]

Sick, i always love builds with those lol

[red heart]

yeah i was gonna get the dualshot 2 but international was unavailable everywhere

so i just went for this instead, ended up being cheaper anyway

[fallen epoch]

The ones with the little notches for light to go through are my favorite

[red heart]

yeah ill put that on my caps lock

i think i'll also like the step, makes the caps lock stand out more so you dont press it by accident

[fallen epoch]

Yeah those are underrated

[red heart]

now i cant wait

i was thinking about getting different accents but i think these are the ones to go with

other ones i was thinking of is these but i cant use that many of the keys so it seemed kind of sad

[fallen epoch]

Yeah those ones would be very limited in use

[red heart]

if these had better iso support i would have bought them instantly

[fallen epoch]

Yeah, the colors are quite nice

[red heart]

i also like the more abstract interesting icons

[old solstice]

thats what i typed??? its in my name??? am i missing something?? hahahaa

im new here obs

[hollow sigil]

I mean which color, keycaps all that stuff xD

case...

[compact wasp]

He means just black, ghost or one of the zinc ones

[hollow sigil]

^

[old solstice]

oohhhh!!! i got the ghost! with the standard linears bc i wanna try it stock 1st

i think ima pick up the gator jades

[old solstice]

these remind me of grade school dont ask how old i am😂😂😂

[red heart]

Oof

[sick harness]

Friends, I would like to ask if I cancel my pre-order on hub. Generally, it can be processed in a few days, and the refund can be reached in my bank card in a few days.

[buoyant solstice]

Sure.

[hidden field]

can I make purchase with raw zinc option and change it later to white if irl raw looks bad? no photos make me wonder...

[buoyant solstice]

Yep

[hidden field]

haha I made preorder at first day with ghost pcr option, thought I should just go for heavier weapon

[sick harness]

I pre-ordered two wooting80he before. Two days ago, I applied to cancel one of the pre-orders, but why haven't I processed my cancellation application yet?

[frail bobcat]

You've waited for two days, normally it takes 3-5 days to process

[sick harness]

Thank you, bro

[frail bobcat]

Wooting itself is also swamped with a backlog of stuff to do. They said that payment related things are prioritized, but unless preorder cancelation is automated in their system you may have to wait an extended period as well.

[sick harness]

OK, thank you for your answer.

[umbral locust]

I have a set of this I may be down to sell

[red heart]

I need better iso support on them :/

[umbral locust]

super excited

kinda curious to see what the ghost shell will look like with black keys

[lost karma]

are there any offerings for people whoy bought the h60 and wanna upgrade to the 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

Only if you happen to have been part of the 60HE founder campaign.

[viral schooner]

[knotty jolt]

will there be more styles available later for keys :o?

[jolly sable]

is the preorder cheaper

[buoyant solstice]

No.

[jolly sable]

so the same price

[fallen epoch]

Yep

[jolly sable]

damn

[knotty jolt]

what does it mean i only got 77.5% rewards . -.?

[fallen epoch]

Its a joke, cuz its not a true tkl

[knotty jolt]

ahhhh lol

[fallen epoch]

We gladly welcome you to the piss squad however 🤝

[knotty jolt]

[merry grotto]

welcome in the waiting room 😄

[knotty jolt]

im excited

[umbral locust]

oooh, what do they get?

Does this also mean that in the future, me preordering the 80he might give some benefits in future fund raisers?

[buoyant solstice]

A 20€ discount on the 80HE founder

[pseudo parrot]

not cheaper but you can save in order ways like, you'll get a free switch pack with the preassembled versions now, and zinc 80he gets a travel case, tho price will remain the same for the board i guess

[crystal locust]

uhh i ordered the 80he...did i somehow enroll in some newsletter? cuz got some mail for becoming part of the founders campaign

by ordering the 80he

[deft basalt]

Yea

[crystal locust]

[deft basalt]

Its on founder campaign for 80HE rn

[buoyant solstice]

We own your soul now. It's all part of the 87 page terms of service.

[deft basalt]

[buoyant solstice]

Jokes aside, you should have an unsubscribe link at the bottom of an actual newsletter email.

[crystal locust]

i was on the newsletter apparently

it was just funny cuz alrdy ordered

[umbral locust]

first preorder yes, but what about second preorder?

[crystal locust]

why not 3...

[umbral locust]

Then youll be moved to the second batch instead of stayin in the first.

[urban wadi]

Have they shipped any 80he's yet or is everybody waiting until July?

[deft basalt]

Still in production

[crystal locust]

I think we all will have to wait 😔

[buoyant solstice]

PRE-production.

[deft basalt]

Oh wait what

[obtuse wagon]

Meaning they have not started to produce them yet

[jolly tangle]

this is just stupid man

it still keeps climbing like so fast

[deft basalt]

Yea I know that but I swear we were at starting production stage

[buoyant solstice]

Had that been the case, we would be delivering earlier than currently estimated.

[deft basalt]

The website of names

[deft basalt]

[deft basalt]

Memory failing me I guess

[iron crater]

[low token]

What would be estimted production and delivery time for later batches 80he? Around 1month?

[umbral locust]

Yeah, should be behind by a month, like current 60he batches.

[deft basalt]

Also any thoughts of making a plastic alumaze? I'm trying to find a good plastic case that supports a gummy o-ring mounted 60HE but its basically only making my own or painting the default case

Hopefully the paint will make the default case a bit less thin sounding in the process

[low token]

You do not like aluminium case?

[deft basalt]

Yea it doesn't really suit the HE switches too well imo

They're already on the higher end of the frequency spectrum so adding more feels iffy

[jade jacinth]

EU-Kampioen is the first batch right?

[deft basalt]

You could foam but I'm not really a fan of the sound so I've basically settled on plastic or something similar

[jade jacinth]

so no second batch for the 80he yet

[umbral locust]

That or NA-Champion

[jade jacinth]

yea okay i mean for eu only

[deft basalt]

Wood works too but I'm going for a purple case so its a bit harder to do because of that

[umbral locust]

I also don't like the aluminum case

[deft basalt]

Default case ended up sounding the best for me funny enough

Its just on the thinner side so I'm trying to find ways to either make a thicker case myself or get the default case to not sound as thin without foaming it

#🔧│keyboard_modding message

[deft basalt]

@buoyant solstice

You can called it the PBTmaze

[red heart]

you get in to second batch if you order more than 3

[jade jacinth]

who would do that xD

[valid comet]

what are we talking abt

[silent crystal]

i know this is an older message, but what really is the point of this (dont see this as me complaining please im just wondering). im not gonna say no to an extra set of switches, but since i already have a full set coming with the module what would i use those switches for other then just sell them? its cool for people with multiple boards but id guess most people dont get a use out of this.

[buoyant solstice]

Don't want em, don't get em.

They're our way to make sure you get to try out our switches 🙂

[verbal solar]

I mean free is free

[silent crystal]

oh, i totally brainfarted on the free oppertunity to try out both versions if you arent sure which one you prefer

[eager sundial]

Yeah only annoying thing is you can’t choose which switches come preinstalled, would be nice to see an option for that but I understand it could increase costs

[buoyant solstice]

Increase costs and reduce the amount of keyboards available, since we have to split them up even further into sub-products.

[eager sundial]

yea, it’s understandable

[silent crystal]

secretly its to get people into keyboard modding, since changing switches is the first step to that

[eager sundial]

I would probably try out the l45s but I think you need to get some switch tools and I don’t have them

[buoyant solstice]

A combined keycap and switch puller will be included with the 80HE

[silent crystal]

🐐

[buoyant solstice]

No, duck.

[valid comet]

hey Mansen I have a question about the 80HE's daughterboard

[buoyant solstice]

Too bad - I know shit all about it 😄

[eager sundial]

Do you happen to know the actuation and fully pressed force of the drunkdeer switches. I never actually researched since I just like them.

Jw for comparison to the l60s

[thorny void]

I guess an second set of 60s as Spare part's could make sense...

[eager sundial]

Oh didn’t see this, thanks :D

[valid comet]

oh ok, is there anyone who I can ask about it?

[jolly tangle]

ask here

[buoyant solstice]

Calder on the next livestream I spose. Or shoot us an email.

[kindred tendon]

[spark grotto]

All we can do now is wait until it comes in, still so excited

[valid comet]

is the 80HE going to have hand detatchable daughterboards with replacements on the websites we can buy?

my K70 died because the USB port got mangled but otherwise its usable

[jolly tangle]

Like you mentioned the daughterboard will be detachable. Futher in the founders campaign there will be more information about this. The good news is... no one is in need of a replacement at this moment in time. so im sure you can wait a little bit more for more information!

[valid comet]

ok its just cause I dont want the USB port to determine whether my keyboard will be usable or not

thanks, im still kinda frustrated

[low token]

What you gonna do without keyboard

[full peak]

Anyone know if we are able to modify our pre-order?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes - Email us at [e-mail] and we'll be able to make most changes as needed. Thought if it is an 80HE order it might be a while.

[warm mural]

Would i be able to change plastic black to zinc white?

[buoyant solstice]

We're pushing those off for a bit while dealing with more time sensitive tickets. And hopefully be able to add a bit of automation for the most common changes. Like a case change.

[full peak]

I’m a first time customer so I impulsively pre-ordered a pre-assembled board. Now I’m looking to change the switches to the gateron jades instead 😦

That way I could also try out the lekker switches

[buoyant solstice]

Can't change the switches that are preassembled - But I think we can change the order to a module instead, and then you can pay for the jade switches as needed.

[valid comet]

i have my very old, laggy and scratchy G810 orion spark

[pseudo parrot]

G810 aha, that’s the board I had before 2he

[valid comet]

direct upgrade

like everything about the Two HE is better I think

[pseudo parrot]

Going from that thing to 2he and experiencing all the features man it was nice

[pseudo parrot]

All I miss is a knob of some sort but looks like wooting is working on that now so all good

G810 volume roller was cool until it stopped working or skipped a lot

[valid comet]

oh yeah that was an oversight

[pseudo parrot]

The double typing got annoying too

[valid comet]

on the G810?

[pseudo parrot]

Yes that’s the thing that pushed me to order the wooting

[valid comet]

i cant really do anything too difficult

i can only play casual games for now with the G810

no hard geometry dash levels for me D:

maybe if the Q1 HE is good I will be able to use it before my 80HE

[pseudo parrot]

I guess the 80he upgrade for you will be even bigger then lol

[valid comet]

but it will take a month

its better in every way

[pseudo parrot]

Even in casual games tbh I really like some wooting features, like toggle key for peak laziness on the w, don’t have to hold it to walk

[valid comet]

80HE kinda just feels like an engineering masterpiece

[pseudo parrot]

Looks like a nice board yea

But are you getting the q1 as well?

[valid comet]

Q1 HE, day 1 backer

also day 1 for 80HE

[verbal kraken]

cant wait

[pseudo parrot]

Nice

[silk hedge]

Why is the US late july and EU early august?

Shouldnt it take langer for the US to receive the keebs

[buoyant solstice]

I mean... geographically the US is closer to China than Western Europe.

But - But - BUT - The dates are all estimates for the time being. All of the keyboards should finish manufacturing at the same time, and it's a matter of shipping at that point.

[red heart]

I hope it arrives before 9 august

Or i‘ll have to put it on hold for a week

[stray adder]

Just ordered mine I’m sick of Asus

[red heart]

A

[stray adder]

100% that wizard

I like the look and feel of their products but their software is awful and the mouse I have also from Asus is only 4 months old and already has double click. Swapping that for a Superlight as we speak as well.

[red heart]

Take good care of your superlight

Keep in mind that dust accumulation and very forceful clicks can cause double clicks

So if you feel double clicks or loose mouse wheel on your suprelight

Open it up and clean the inside

Maintenance is good

[wary abyss]

Scientists baffled why Logitech still doesn't use dust proof encoders

I recently replaced my encoder because of that issue with a TTC Gold dust proof

[lyric sparrow]

Definitely RMA it (and if they don't make you send it back time to replace/clean the switches on the old one...)

[umbral locust]

It's late july for me too. I'm in canada but the batch is the EU one.

[idle sage]

ever since i preorded my wooting 80he tme has moved very slow lol

[umbral locust]

that's a life hack

I feel like time is moving way too fast maybe I should order another 80he

[idle sage]

or another three if im being honest

[umbral locust]

True things do get out of hand, I have 2 60hes and plan on a third lmao

[deft basalt]

But why?

[umbral locust]

I like to expirement with stuff a lot

different cases, switches, keycaps etc

I feel like 2 is enough because i always have one ready to use and one being modified but always tempted to have one more lol

[deft basalt]

Fair enough

[lapis tapir]

hey all, im thinking of ordering and was just wondering what the founder campaign free switches are for? are they better than the standard switches that come installed in the keyboard?

slightly confused haha

[jade widget]

They're pretty much the same just have lighter springs inside so 45grams of actuation instead of 60

[lapis tapir]

ah okay that makes sense. thank you for letting me know 😁

[past bison]

If ordering the jade switches for the 80he, are different stabs needed? Longer ones?

[jade widget]

Think most people don't have issues with them stock

But if you do you can get TX long pole stabs for plate mount

[lapis tapir]

ive gone ahead and ordered the 80he, i hope i didnt have to do anything to get the travel case except for choosing the zinc alloy chassis

[umbral locust]

Thats if you get 45s, you can just get more 60s.

[umbral locust]

stock keycaps? No. Other keycaps? Just depends.

[umbral locust]

just getting the zinc case is enough, youre all set

[jade widget]

Think he referring to the prebuilt that one doesn't let you pick

[umbral locust]

oh really? I didn't know.

[lapis tapir]

would you perhaps know how i get the discord role?

[jade widget]

Yeah the prebuilt comes with 60s installed and gives you a free pack of 45s

[umbral locust]

Gotta link your discord to your wooting account

and then hit refresh rewards on your account page

[lapis tapir]

ah i just hit the refresh rewards and its gone through

awesome matey thank you

[umbral locust]

I also recommend ticking batch updates

that way you get pinged in the discord when there is progress on it

[lapis tapir]

yeah just gone ahead and done that, thanks for the tip mate

[stoic hazel]

So we can get €20 discount if we already got our 80HE?

[umbral locust]

You only get the discount if you were a funder of the 60he.

[wary abyss]

I wasn't

[umbral locust]

Did you participate in another fundraiser?

[stoic hazel]

Where u get this code?i dont get mine😔

[wary abyss]

No. I asked the wooting team for my cyan role and they gave it to me for free :D

[umbral locust]

Im curious on this too then

[stoic hazel]

Yes,it my first time PO wooting keybs,i thought after i check out the product then i will get dicount code for next purchase

[lunar arch]

when are the shipping this keyboard ?

i can't wait lol

[stoic hazel]

early august

[lunar arch]

I placed the order within 5 minutes of the pre order got a confirmation is the ship time the same for all orders

[midnight iron]

For now yeah if you’re not a bulk buyer/buying more than 2 boards

Once this batch runs out then people will end up ordering from next batch though

[pastel hare]

you cant share it?

[umbral locust]

the codes can't be shared. All the discount codes are the same, if they aren't unlocked in your account, then you can't apply them.

[icy cosmos]

So what is your favourite mods on 60HE from all these experiments?

[steady elbow]

I've had custom keyboards for a long time. What should I expect once I switch to Wooting?

[ebon sluice]

An exhilarating dance between man and machine, where every sense is heightened and every moment is alive with intensity. As you press down on the keys, the raw power surges through your veins, propelling you forward with a force that pins you to your gaming seat.

[silk quartz]

At first imo you will not be able to notice a difference, but after some time with it if you try to use normal mechanical keyboard you will feel it's less responsive and kinda slower than Wooting (and that's mostly thanks to rapid trigger)

At least that's my experience after using Wooting, DD and then trying to use my old mechanical board 😅

[past bison]

Prob a GMK set of some sort

[open rivet]

if u get a 80HE u get a cable too?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes. A 2m straight cable with braiding

[open rivet]

ok good

[elfin dock]

Just remembered that I ordered this keyboard and now I became happy

[icy cosmos]

Now that’s a perfect description for this product. People these days doesn’t feel with their soul.

A Wooting keyboard isn’t just a keyboard

[karmic canyon]

no announcement this week?

[low token]

Because they do not work on holidays

@karmic canyon tho propably knob annoucement will be in 3 days

[verbal solar]

hi, i recently take the 60he instead the 80he but which is the best for latency ? is woth take away the 60he to take 80he?

[jade jacinth]

doesnt really make a difference but technically 80he has less latency because of 8k polling

[low token]

Do you need arrows and f row?

[verbal solar]

i use it for valorant so no

[lunar dragon]

I guess no update this week as they said on the stream_

[low token]

So no need tbh for now

[hazy forum]

If I switch from plastic to zink now, will the ordering time be extended?

[verbal solar]

yes

but if is it woth i will take the 80he

[low token]

It wont. But if founders are above 20k you would be put in later batch if you cancel. You can ask support if it is possible to change. Propably is but obviously with charge

[hazy forum]

So there may be extra charges for changing my order (from plastic to Zink)

[buoyant solstice]

Shouldn't be

[hazy forum]

Is it possible that the shipping date will be postponed?

[buoyant solstice]

Sure.

[hazy forum]

Thanks alot

[low token]

Well only you would pay diffrence between zinc and plastic i guess

[hazy forum]

I only care about the delivery date

[hazy forum]

Thank you!

[icy cosmos]

If you’re ordering within EU. You can add loads of stuff and still get the same low shipping cost. 😆

[hazy forum]

But I just want to get it sooner haha

Price is not the point

In fact, I bought 60he first and plan to use it until 80he comes.

[hazy forum]

Thanks!

[winged pelican]

IIRC it's 20k units - so presumably less than 20k founders

[low token]

Rn it is nearly 17k

[past bison]

When you order, are you charged immediately? Or when shipped

[nova nexus]

Immediately

[past bison]

And sorry if dumb question, does the software work with jade switches the same as lekker? As in activation settings, etc would all be the same in wootility?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes and no.

The Jade switches are physically different, and only has ... is it 3½mm of travel distance. So if you set it to be too far in Wootility, you're just going to have unresponsive switches

[past bison]

Fair enough, thanks for the reply

[severe merlin]

Will there be a tutorial on how to assemble the Wooting 80HE Module? Because I want to put in the L45s, so why not assemble it with them rather that get an assembled one and take out the L60s.

[eager sundial]

Costly and complicated apparently

one day we get preinstalled l45

But putting together shouldn’t be hard just out it together like Lego and bam done

[severe merlin]

Yeah.

Also, what’s the difference between Lekker and Jade? Are Jade as good as Lekker for gaming? And what is the force to press the key?

[eager sundial]

I think jades sound nice

or something like that, prob little difference for gaming

[severe merlin]

Yes, but I want to know even that little difference for gaming.

[eager sundial]

30g-80g I think

[severe merlin]

So lighter or heavier that L45?

[eager sundial]

Wait nvm I don’t think that’s accurate I have no idea tbh

[severe merlin]

Ok.

[pseudo parrot]

yes tutorial coming

[past bison]

Is the frost plastic case for the module similar to acrylic? Or exactly the same lol

[eager sundial]

supposedly they’re similar to l45 tho i guess

[severe merlin]

Ok.

Because if all else is the same, the Jades have a shorter total travel.

So if they’re otherwise the same as L45 I probably would get the Jades.

[low token]

It is simmiliar to ghost but little bit cloudy and white

[sonic kindle]

Slightly heavier but tbh no diff jade is 50 L45 is 45

I would pick jade for the better sound

Lekkers don't sound too good

[past bison]

So not as foggy as acrylic would be? To something like this

[severe merlin]

Ok.

So wait, what is the start force and end force of the Jades? Because L45 is 30cN start and 45cN end.

[toxic zephyr]

30-50

[sonic kindle]

I think 30cN and 50 cN but I would have to check

[buoyant solstice]

https://wooting.io/product/gateron-magnetic-jade-switches
If only there was something like a specification sheet on a ... product... page of sorts?

[low token]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxScePADsdgQ3LPoj3mdr2JnpRt9Jyggfi?si=YAvvZI4mufIvjjPY

[sonic kindle]

I would have loved to get an 80he but no modding capability

man I wish they had a tkl

[severe merlin]

It doesn’t say end force.

[buoyant solstice]

TKL isn't any more moddable.

[sonic kindle]

There r a ton of parts 80% is so rare no parts

[past bison]

Thanks

[shell heath]

is this for the new 80he?

[upbeat berry]

80% is... tkl though

[buoyant solstice]

Correction: There are a bunch of different "standards" within TKL, where you may have 2-3 PCBs who happen to share some dimensions. That doesn't make it a standard.

[severe merlin]

Also what’s the difference between cN and gf?

[past bison]

No, this is the tofu redux. I just like the look and wanted to compare to the plastic frost case offered for the 80he. They look similar enough to me

[upbeat berry]

different units expressing the same

[shell heath]

oh ok

[severe merlin]

So they are the exact same?

[upbeat berry]

no

[sonic kindle]

Actually I think 75% is tkl but not sure

[upbeat berry]

no

[severe merlin]

80% is TKL

[upbeat berry]

75% is not a traditional TKL

[severe merlin]

What is the end force of the Jade?

[sonic kindle]

Tbh tkl is perfect no one really uses numpad but I use func and arrow keys every day

[upbeat berry]

1cN = 1.019716213 gf

[sonic kindle]

50cN

[past bison]

Compact 75% = the dream

[severe merlin]

Where can I find that? I can’t find it anywhere?

[sonic kindle]

I searched it when I was doing research for jades

[severe merlin]

So L45 is 30 45 and Jade is 30 50?

[toxic zephyr]

yes

[sonic kindle]

95% sure

[severe merlin]

Ok.

Also, I go out of this server then back in and 60HE channel is gone??

[upbeat berry]

the difference is down to how newtons are defined as 1N is exactly 1kg accelerated at 1m/s² which converts to slightly less due to 1cN being 1/100th of a Newton while gram-force is calculated with our gravitational constant

[severe merlin]

🤯

[upbeat berry]

for small numbers like mehcanical switch springs below 100gf this usually means at worst 1cN difference or so

[sonic kindle]

1 kg or force to press a key lol

[upbeat berry]

if you go above 100gf this just goes up and up though

[sonic kindle]

That's like a baseball bat

[severe merlin]

So, at the end of the day, which is lighter, L45 or Jade?

[sonic kindle]

L45 but it sounds pretty bad

[toxic zephyr]

well is 45 lighter than 50

🤔

[sonic kindle]

So l45 is ever so slightly lighter but jade sounds much better

[severe merlin]

Man I want L45 but the Jade bottoms out faster.

[sonic kindle]

Tbh it's not that big of a deal

[severe merlin]

So IDK.

[sonic kindle]

Half a milimeter

[severe merlin]

4.0mm vs 3.5mm

[sonic kindle]

I would fr sure get jade

[severe merlin]

How do the Jades even sound?

[sonic kindle]

Like a game of mahjong apparently

Whatever that sounds like

[severe merlin]

Also, why the Thocc??

[sonic kindle]

But jades sound better have very low pressure and bottom out fairly fast

[sonic kindle]

Thocc is life

Do you prefer like a higher pitch click

Then go l45 maybe

[severe merlin]

No difference.

[sonic kindle]

Wdym?

[severe merlin]

It doesn’t make a difference whether Thocc or not.

Thocc is irrelevant.

[sonic kindle]

Basically you don't care about sound you want performance

[severe merlin]

Yes, I mean I do care a little bit about sound, but it’s more about not sounding bad.

As long as it doesn’t sound bad.

[sonic kindle]

Thats good then I could give you recommended mods to maximize performance and keep it sounding good

[severe merlin]

Mods?

[sonic kindle]

Modifications

[severe merlin]

I know what mods are but why?

[sonic kindle]

To maximize performance and maintain good acoustic

[severe merlin]

Nice

Isn’t that already maximized?

[nova nexus]

The mods you can do to the keyboard have no impact on performance

[sonic kindle]

So anyways if you do get l45 prolly best for performance I would lube them with some krytox 205g0

[midnight iron]

I heard red paint makes keyboard faster. Needs further testing though

[sonic kindle]

Actually they can reduce fatigue and latency

[nova nexus]

Different switches do not impact performance

[nova nexus]

No. Fatigue sure, but that is not performance. No mods have any impact on latency at all.

[sonic kindle]

You can click faster so better latency

[nova nexus]

Again, no

[severe merlin]

So then L45 is best?

[sonic kindle]

For fatigue yes

[severe merlin]

For me that’s better.

[sonic kindle]

But jades are more sensitive since they bottom out fastest

[severe merlin]

WDYM sensitive?

[sonic kindle]

Wooting is analog right

[nova nexus]

If you are concerned about latency, then use a low actuation, 0.1mm to 0.4. The switch used is irrelevant

[sonic kindle]

Still reduced

[severe merlin]

I bottom out my switches so…

[sonic kindle]

And since jades bottom out faster pressing one mm on jade will be more sensitive than 1 mm or lekker

[midnight iron]

That’s not how it works

[nova nexus]

Dan, I'm telling you, you're misguided

[severe merlin]

Again what do you mean by sensitive?

[nova nexus]

1mm is 1mm

[sonic kindle]

Fr that's what a few keyboard yts said

[nova nexus]

Okay, but they're wrong

[midnight iron]

Rapid trigger and setting your actuation levels to those lower amounts means less travel doesn’t matter

[nova nexus]

Switches do not impact latency

[sonic kindle]

Then in that case go lekker all day

For performance ofc

Jades imo sound better

[grave burrow]

is it better to buy stock 80he ? or separate?

[nova nexus]

For most people, preassembled is the best choice

[sonic kindle]

R u gonna mod everything then get module if not get keyboard

[pseudo parrot]

It doesn’t matter for latency if you use 1mm or 4mm actuation. If the keyboard latency is 1ms switch distance isn’t gonna change that at all

[severe merlin]

Will there be a tutorial on how to assemble the Module?

[nova nexus]

Certainly

Building the keyboard is fun 🙂

[grave burrow]

i prob not going to mod as it takes time

[sonic kindle]

IL just dm you the preferred mods in the esports scene and you can decide which ones to do

[jolly sable]

same i want to build one myself

[severe merlin]

Can I have those Mods though?

[nova nexus]

But most people don't buy a keyboard to have fun, that's a hobbiest thing. Most people want a keyboard that works out of the box 😛

[severe merlin]

Yes

[midnight iron]

The esports scene? They literally use mostly unmodded or just lighter springs for most of them

[severe merlin]

And also, I’m 14 and I don’t what to break my keyboard trying to Mod it.

[midnight iron]

Tenz is one of the few who bothered to do the other mods for fun

Everyone else mostly just uses unmodded wootings in the scene

[grave burrow]

how come the prebuilt options doesnt give u the options for other switches?

[nova nexus]

Every different preassembled configuration needs to be stocked individually, operationally challenging.

[red heart]

cause that exponentially increases the amount of different versions that need to be stocked

same reason why ISO layout doesnt come with keycaps assembled out of the box

[nova nexus]

There are currently 12 different preassmbled versions. If we offered them in L60 and L45 options, that'd be 24 different versions.

[red heart]

now add iso language options

nightmare

[nova nexus]

And keycap colors

Black and white keycap options brings it to 48 different products

[grave burrow]

for zinc alloy why thats the only one with a travel case included

[red heart]

cause more expensive = bonus item

[nova nexus]

Because it's a more premium product, whereas the plastic versions are the best possible price

[red heart]

i'm kind of tempted to pick up an extra zinc alloy case incase i want to swap cases

but at the same time i dont think i will, i like transparent plastic electronics too much

[grave burrow]

in term of the keyboard is the only difference in prebuilt and individual is switches and key cap?

like if u wanted a better keybaord

[nova nexus]

"better" is not the right word

[red heart]

difference is that it lets you build it yourself if ur into that thing

and a few more options

[pseudo parrot]

If you want the frost pcr case for example you need to order the module

[grave burrow]

so for the switches like L45 and gateron jade switch that isnt in the prebuild. are those any better when it comes to gaming or typing but mostly gaming

[red heart]

you can easily swap those on preassembled as well

[nova nexus]

No difference in performance, speed, or latency.
They do feel different to press and they sound different

[red heart]

that is no reason to get one over the other

[pseudo parrot]

For l45 vs l60 it’s just preference, some people like lighter switches others like heavier switches

[somber elm]

lighter = less fatigue
heavier = faster rebound quicker for spam

[grave burrow]

ahh okok make more sense

[icy cosmos]

That’s why Apple iPhone makes so much more money than Android phones. Less options = more profit

[vast edge]

kind of a vague statement

[wary adder]

Any information on the weight difference between the plastic and zinc cases? Obviously the zinc will be heavier. Just wondering if any numbers were given.

[buoyant solstice]

It's right on the 80HE product page

Through the magic of scrolling!

[wary adder]

@buoyant solstice wow im blind.

[upbeat berry]

scrollwheel not included on the new superlight mice

[vast edge]

pretty big difference in weight

[wary adder]

metal be heavy

[buoyant solstice]

#🐸│memes

[vast edge]

yeah my 65% keyboard is almost 2kg

[grave burrow]

heavier better? 🌚

[sonic kindle]

? Fr how do you use a mouse without a scroll wheel

Mice don't need to be that light

[nova nexus]

Heavier is not better, it's just heavier

[lime aspen]

Lighter is objectively better for aiming but weight is mostly preference

[grave burrow]

so it just for looks preferemce

[wary adder]

yep

[nova nexus]

And feel
