*sample only

[violet garnet]

how much better will the pre lube be on the 80HE compared to the 60HE?

[umbral locust]

27.67% better

I actually have no idea

[toxic zephyr]

about 6 better

[real gulch]

will there be a seperate black pc plate?

[buoyant solstice]

Not planned as far as I know - But if there's demand, we might be able to do it post-release.

[real gulch]

Okay ty

[wispy trellis]

2 Colored? looks neat

[winter coral]

black keycaps or white keycaps for black zinc case and as fun secondary case frost or ghost?

[ebon sluice]

titanium top and cerakote bottom I think it was

[severe merlin]

So the Pre-Assembled one will have ISO?

[buoyant solstice]

ANSI, ISO and JIS for both preassembled and module.
However only ANSI comes with keycaps preinstalled.

[fallow spire]

Yes

[dense ridge]

can we see some new photos of cases?

a new ghost for example 🙂

[steel shuttle]

[violet garnet]

Can't wait for the zinc alloy sound test. Guessing it'll happen in 3-4 weeks?

[digital elm]

Hey Calder, do you guys have any idea of when the new cables will come out? I'd like to order a white on for my 80HE

[potent spindle]

Where can I find the these keys sizes for ISO Layout? L/R CTRL, WIN, L/R ALT, SPACEBAR, FN, L/R SHIFT, CAPSLOCK, TAB and BACKSPACE
I didn't find anything on the website maybe im blind

[tight cypress]

There ya go

And here's 80he specifically

[potent spindle]

@tight cypress thanks

[valid comet]

Nice, we should probably update the image pretty soon. Thanks again Calder!

[potent juniper]

not seeing the zinc alloy Raw as an option for the preassabled boards, are they no longer available?

[tight cypress]

Raw color* Zinc Alloy option is only available with module kit

Same with PCR ABS transparent Frost

[potent juniper]

😦

[buoyant solstice]

We'll be providing step by step, easy to follow videos on how to put the module together. 🙂

It's mainly just putting the PCB and USB board into the case, then screwing it together with the case. Nothing we wouldn't expect anyone to be able to do without a technician's help.

[pseudo parrot]

ikea or lego style, very simple

[potent juniper]

yeah but 20 dollars is 20 dollars

[wild coral]

hey guys i have a question if i order the module founder version. do the "FREE switches" come lubed ?

[pseudo parrot]

yes they are factory lubed

[wild coral]

alright thank you

[severe merlin]

How do put the L45 in my Wooting 80HE?

[winged apex]

push

[icy charm]

Human force

Same way we built the pyramids

[undone tundra]

pay me and i'll do it for you

[jade widget]

https://tenor.com/view/it-was-the-aliens-im-not-saying-it-was-aliens-ancient-aliens-gif-14839810013080040984

[red heart]

if i add things to my order or change it after the founders campaign is up, do i still get the perks

(obvs it would still be the same order)

[severe merlin]

so will the raw have corrosion

[red heart]

it will have a protective coating on it

[severe merlin]

will that protection go away at some point

[spark lantern]

I think that's their primary concern. They are making sure the coatings are sustainable for a long time as you are buying an expensive keyboard and they have the expectation that it should last you a long time.

[severe merlin]

ok

does the zinc alloy have a deeper or less deep sound

[low token]

How I remember wooting keyboards have 4y warranty

So you are fine

[spark lantern]

We have not gotten official sound tests for the zinc alloy yet.

[severe merlin]

so the sound tests are from the pcr abs?

[tight cliff]

Yes

[spark lantern]

Yes.

[severe merlin]

ngl thats already too deep

[spark lantern]

But they are getting official complete in box Zinc keebs soon and I'm sure we'll get an update on them. They're eager to show us the final colors and coatings and I'm sure a sound test too.

[valid comet]

what would be a good method of maintaining the zinc alloy case if it gets dirty? wet shop towel? isopropyl alcohol? specifically black zinc alloy

[winter coral]

But they said less echo from table, because zinc case catches more vibration due weight…but I guess it will be minor.

[severe merlin]

so is raw worth it or shoud i go for another one?

safe?

[spark lantern]

That's up to you lol. I bought zinc black just because I want like heavy premium feeling keeb.

[winter coral]

I had alu case for pc (lian li) for over 10 years…cant see alu anymore 😂

[severe merlin]

yes but is it safe to go for raw or will it deteriorate faster than the others

[red heart]

in livestream they said they will all deteriorate at the same rate

[spark lantern]

Yeah I doubt they'd deteriorate any faster.

[severe merlin]

will there be a video on how to fully assemble the module

[spark lantern]

Sure will.

[severe merlin]

100%?

[spark lantern]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[severe merlin]

yess lesgooo

then im getting module

[valid comet]

w

[red heart]

#💬│general message i got my new keycaps, what case do you guys think would fit best with these

i pre ordered ghost case but maybe ill also grab a black or white zinc to swap

[severe merlin]

so wait if i get module what is 1+1 free switch pack?

[red heart]

buy one get one free

[severe merlin]

so if i buy l45 which one do i get

[red heart]

you can choose

[umbral locust]

you get the 45s?

[severe merlin]

ofc

[umbral locust]

oh you mean the free extras, thats up to you lol

[red heart]

so you can get a set of one of each

or two of the same

i'd personally get one of each so you can test both and see what you like more

[severe merlin]

i mean ik im getting l45 but sure

[red heart]

you can also just get l45s twice

but i dont see the point really

[severe merlin]

so wait can i put none and get l45 free?

[umbral locust]

no, they wont give you a set of free switches if you don't actually pay for one.

[severe merlin]

shit

[red heart]

you need to buy one set

[severe merlin]

that woulda been op

[umbral locust]

That would have been fraud

[severe merlin]

what was the startforce endforce of the jades again?

[midnight iron]

30ish to 50ish

[severe merlin]

so less or more that l45?

[icy charm]

More

[midnight iron]

L45 = 45 end force

[severe merlin]

more=heavier?

[icy charm]

Yes

Jades are slightly heavier by about 5g

But also

[severe merlin]

what is even start and end force

[icy charm]

Keep in mind that they have shorter travel distance

[midnight iron]

How hard it is to press

[severe merlin]

yes but its the same??

why start and end

[midnight iron]

No. One is how hard it is to press at the start

And one at the end of the press - springs change in how hard they are to press as you press them down

[severe merlin]

so jades have both heavier start and heavier end?

[lime falcon]

no

[severe merlin]

than l45

[lime falcon]

L45 are 30/45, jades are 30/50

[midnight iron]

Just think of it as jades are almost the same but a tad heavier at the end

[undone tundra]

are we really gonna care about 5 grams?

[severe merlin]

ima get l45 and free jades

[lime falcon]

yes

[midnight iron]

But keep in mind 50g end force isn’t heavy at all

[lime falcon]

🤓

[midnight iron]

You can’t. Your free pack can only be l45 or l60

[undone tundra]

i had to raise up my actuation points a lot going from the L60 to these jades

L45 vs jades is barely noticable for me

[severe merlin]

is it noticable between l45/jade and l60

[midnight iron]

Yeah

[undone tundra]

l45/jade and l60 ye, l45 and jade not for me

[severe merlin]

u tried both

[undone tundra]

i tried all 3 yes

[midnight iron]

It’s personal preference though. Some like very light, some want medium

[undone tundra]

for typing i'd prefer L70s for gaming L45s

[midnight iron]

Keep in mind neither l60 nor l45 or jades are considered heavy switches

[lime falcon]

wdym noticable? weight? Yes, feel? no, jades are a lot nicer

[undone tundra]

obviously the weight

we are talking abt springs here

[severe merlin]

whats difference between chrry profile and doubleshot pbt

[fluid cliff]

Honestly the l60s feel fine for me, not too light but not too heavy

[midnight iron]

That’s how it should feel. 60g end force is a very medium level weight

It’s only in the gaming space that people think l60 is heavy due to gaming companies marketing lighter switches

In reality L60 is that medium feel that most people are already used to from cherry switches

[severe merlin]

soooooo???

[umbral locust]

Those are two seperate things. Keycaps can be, and often are, cEhrry profile as well as doubleshot pbt.

[severe merlin]

keycaps

[fluid cliff]

holy shit i swear i have seen this conversation play out in my dreams

[humble cargo]

well one is a keycap profile, the other is a manufacturing method, so there

[midnight iron]

yeah your question is confusing is why no one is answering. You're asking about 2 separate topics that aren't comparable

[severe merlin]

which one is better for game? keycaps

[umbral locust]

no such thing

thats like asking what pants are better for driving

[midnight iron]

cherry profile vs pbt is not a thing. Are you confusing abs with cherry maybe?

[severe merlin]

whats the difference between cherry profile keys and doubleshot pbt keys?

[midnight iron]

profile is not the same thing as type of plastic

[buoyant solstice]

They are two different things.

[midnight iron]

aka pbt keys can be cherry profile as well

[buoyant solstice]

https://wooting.io/post/abs-vs-pbt-what-are-the-best-keycaps
One part of your question.

[severe merlin]

dye-sub pbt vs double-shot pbt

[midnight iron]

okay now your question makes sense

[buoyant solstice]

One is dipped in colour, the other is moulded.

[midnight iron]

doubleshot is the better process technically, although I wouldn't weigh it too heavily into your decision as good dye sub is fine too

[astral sleet]

How to active wooing account ?

After I received Emil , I just don’t know what should I do the next step

[buoyant solstice]

Click the link in the email you received. And maybe use a VPN, if you're connecting from Mainland China.

[astral sleet]

I am in Canada right now , but I didt see any link ?

[red heart]

press on activate account

the blue text

[astral sleet]

Ooooo~get it😂

[valid comet]

what exactly is keycap warping

[buoyant solstice]

Exactly what it sounds like.

[valid comet]

does it usually happen in changes in the environment like humidity and temperature

[umbral locust]

I've heard of a time warp but never a space warp

Sorry had to get the dad joke out of my system

[buoyant solstice]

During manufacturing if the keycap is not the exact right temperature when removed from the mould I think?

[valid comet]

oh that case my keycaps came out fine :)

[umbral locust]

Kinda. It's a combination of things, temps being too low during the process, pressure being low or not giving the mould enough time. There's a few other reasons and it's usually a combination of these that can lead to some warping.

I mainly remember this from skateboarding gear because warping can be an issue there too, just different context.

[shut plume]

Hi I have a question I'm hesitating between the 60he and the 80he but the problem is I plan to use it mainly on PS5 and I know that the 60he is compatible. So is the 80he compatible with all its features?

[valid comet]

good question I would imagine so since the 60HE is

[severe merlin]

what is the difference between cherry profile keycaps and the other one that isnt (module options)

[umbral locust]

Take Control keycaps are cherry profile. The others are OEM profile.

[severe merlin]

so all of them are cherry profile?

[pseudo parrot]

jis is also cherry afaik

[umbral locust]

no lol

[severe merlin]

even the iso is cherry profile?

[shut plume]

yeah the 60he is compatible with all its features but I don't know about the 80he with for example the polling rate

[severe merlin]

is the iso cherry profile?

[umbral locust]

I don't know this for a fact, but like 99% sure the 80he will work with the PS5

[midnight iron]

honestly there's not a big difference in cherry vs oem, just a small difference

oem is just a touch higher is all

[shut plume]

I hope so thanks for the responses 🙏

[buoyant solstice]

Not quite.

Most of our keyboard features are supported. Except for analog movement (without third party USB dongles, which appear to be locked down by console makers increasingly) or the increased polling rate (as far as I know)

They also only function as keyboards in games that support keyboards, AND you'll need a PC to configure the board for console use and in general.

[buoyant solstice]

The japanese keycaps and the take control sets are Cherry profile. The rest are OEM.

[valid comet]

thinking about it the PS5 should be fine, since its basically a custom Ryzen CPU and custom Radeon GPU PC with a custom debloated OS, meaning it IS a personal computer by definition. should it be an issue you can turn down the polling rate to 1k in wootility using a second mouse and keyboard.

[severe merlin]

are the doubleshot pbt iso nordic take control?

[buoyant solstice]

Do we have take control in Nordic? No.

[humble cargo]

there are no take control iso keycaps

at least not nordic

[buoyant solstice]

These are the Take Control keycaps. With the wavy pattern.
ANSI and ISO UK (and soon ISO DE) only

[vapid burrow]

add mSA to that

[wispy trellis]

dsa and cherry ALWAYS

[valid comet]

wasnt there also a blue version of the take control set

[wooden spindle]

Does light shine through the symbols like it does on the White/Black Wooting PBT sets?

[severe merlin]

So there be 100% guaranteed a video of how to assemble the Wooting 80HE Module?

[wooden spindle]

For sure there will be one probablyt close to real release

[severe merlin]

Because I have no idea how to do it sooo…

I have no worries?

[wooden spindle]

Dont worry there will be a video. It likely isnt hard either to be fair but I am sure there will be instructions

[buoyant solstice]

No, because of the dyesub.

They're blank keys that are dipped in paint several times.

[small rune]

Any chance for a wooting xda or dsa keycaps🤣

[low token]

Wooting is only keyboard brand with 4yr warranty?

[low token]

If there is enough demand.

[viscid hazel]

for this switch pack, will you send this with keyboard(one package)?

[buoyant solstice]

Only if the order contains an 80HE preassembled keyboard, or if you purchase the module and paid for a pack of switches.

One per customer in total, not per order.

[spark lantern]

I think this is relevant?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes - An order only ships whenever everything is in stock all at once

[shrewd saddle]

have ya'll tried xvx? its like if cherry and xda got busy

[rugged oyster]

question regarding the HE module
https://wooting.io/wooting-60he-module-quickstart
in the this quickstart guide it warns again any orientations other than north facing saying it's "wrong" and "may damage your PCBA". Has something changed here. I installed my switching south facing in a previous 60HE without an issue
thanks for the help

[buoyant solstice]

We are very specifically referring to the ISO enter switch.

I see the phrasing isn't amazing. I'll pass it on.

[rugged oyster]

hey very much appreciated and thanks for the extremely fast response here

good to no i can still south face on the non iso layout board without issue 🙂

[buoyant solstice]

If you really feel like it. Not really necessary

You lose the RGB as well.

[rugged oyster]

i know most housings these days don't have interference issues with cherry profile- but i just got jades to try and i haven't heard about them either way - although they look like they'd be fine

[wispy trellis]

well should you not only loos the shine through but the illumination around the keys should stay since the pcb is white it reflects right?

[buoyant solstice]

You're blocking the light from coming up through the switch housing.

[wispy trellis]

ah dang thought the housing where full clear but only top not buttom

[buoyant solstice]

Doesn't matter. the LED is north centered.

You're going to be blocking almost all of the light regardless of switch.

[compact tangle]

Has anyone ordered the prebuilt keyboard? I plan on ordering the white one for 289 however it says I get the lekker 45 keys and a free set. Is it possible to get the 45s installed and the 60s as the free pack? Anyone ask this question yet?

[pseudo parrot]

For the prebuilt, only 60 will come preinstalled and only l45s will be the free switch pack

[rugged oyster]

thanks for the help all - also curious how the ceramic keycap thickness may impact potential interference issues - anyone have experience with this?

[upbeat berry]

lots of people at clackycon checking out our 80he was nice to see

[red heart]

I wish i had the time or money to go there

[upbeat berry]

also now i didnt have to imagine picking up a zinc case or assembled zinc 80he... i felt the power of the self-/homedefense keyboard

[red heart]

It‘s not even that far but still 😭

[nova nexus]

Hands on with the new lekker v2 switches too

[upbeat berry]

oh yeah damn smooth and stable when in a keeb

[red heart]

Did you also have the ghost case etc there

[upbeat berry]

yes

frost and smokey black

although the samples with speckles

[red heart]

I‘m honestly kind of sad the speckles didnt make it

[upbeat berry]

should have tiken pictures

[red heart]

I think just black looks ok but maybe a little boring

[upbeat berry]

im glad cause in person the frost just looks dirty all the time

[naive granite]

Guys I have a question L45 V2 or L60 V2?

[upbeat berry]

with speckles that is

[red heart]

Oof

[upbeat berry]

whichever spring weight you prefer

[naive granite]

I don't know I haven't tried any

[upbeat berry]

so you get both anyway if you order an 80he with a switch pack

[naive granite]

I don't know what weight I prefer

[red heart]

Tony since you saw all the cases in person i‘d like to hear your opinion on what case would go best with my keycaps 💀

[naive granite]

No bc I order without switches and keycaps

[red heart]

I‘m thinking about adding a zinc case to my order but idk

[nova nexus]

Most people who don't know which they prefer, prefer L60s

[upbeat berry]

lol why now you gotta pay switches anyway lol

[naive granite]

But they gave me a pack for free and I don't know which choose

[red heart]

You only get free pack if you also buy switches

[upbeat berry]

you only get a pack if you bought the moduke with switches

[red heart]

Its buy one get one free

[upbeat berry]

that one

[red heart]

Tbh the wording on the site may be a little unclear might want to fix that

I see so many people thinking they dont need to buy switches 😭

[upbeat berry]

well if you buy preassembled you dont

[naive granite]

Oh what

[upbeat berry]

the module is a self assemble kit so if you dont put switches in you cant really use the keyboard

[red heart]

There should probably be a warning pop up when people try to buy a module with no switches

[naive granite]

In my order I chose the module and I have the free switches in my cart and it was €10 cheaper

Maybe It bugged for me

[upbeat berry]

if thats the case wed remove the free switch pack at a later date

you only get a free l45 v2 pack with the assembled version and you only get a free pack of choice when ordering the module with a switch pack

its fine to ask that dw

[naive granite]

Yea I just saw, I pick the )45 V2 for free and I have the two packs, thank you guys

[buoyant solstice]

Bit late for the last week. Easier to just followup with all valid orders automatically.

[red heart]

There‘s some european stores out there, if you want i can show you a few

[red heart]

This is fair. Now the only issue is going through 18 thousand+ orders

[naive granite]

Yes please I need help for that

[compact tangle]

Okay, do you think there’s any big change that I should go with the custom one or is the prebuilt fine?

[pseudo parrot]

the module is basically the 80he pcba with optional addons like switches keycaps, and mandatory case addon. it gives you the option of buying the raw zinc alloy which prebuilt does not, up to you what you want, pcba is the same either way

[severe merlin]

Will I be able to buy the Zinc Alloy Raw case separately, when I have more money?

[umbral locust]

Yes

[severe merlin]

Nice

[umbral locust]

Also lets you get Frost PCR

[pseudo parrot]

oh yeah thats true

[raven halo]

does the 80he module version come with the pcb sandwich? it's not particularly clear in the website's comparisons

[buoyant solstice]

It comes with everything except for the switches and keycaps.

[raven halo]

excellent thank you

[manic shale]

[vapid burrow]

No, not yet at least. I am rather new with keyboards and only have 2 so far: the Wooting 60HE and the NuPhy Gem80. One's Cherry the other mSA if I remember right.
Is that the profile yoiiu are using right now?

[winter coral]

but is frost better than ghost - its so hard to decide 😄

[umbral locust]

Personally? Ghost > frost any day.

[shrewd saddle]

I actually just stumbled upon them myself and got a set off Amazon, should be getting them on Monday

[vapid burrow]

Ight, lemme know how that goes

[shrewd saddle]

Will do. I’m looking forward to it. Really like xda profiles feel on my sausage fingers

[vapid burrow]

xD
I see. Welp I can also recommend mSA profile, they are very comfortable to type on which is why the NuPhy Gem80 instantly became my daily driver when working and studying.
Obviously nothing beats the 60HE in games :))

After using the 60HE for some months, when I tried the Gem80 last weekend in games I actually almost couldn’t play

[odd briar]

any recommendations for backlit ISO qwertz keycap sets?

specifically looking for pudding keycap sets with german legends on all the keys and not just a generic qwerty set with the additional german keycaps

[red heart]

what is the difference between those 2

if you get the additional keys you will get the extra z and y, the e with €, the q with @ and all the umlauts etc

[jagged moat]

Is it that worse? I mean I ordered the 80he for gaming because it would be the newest model and would have some new features that would be better for gaming. Obviously the 60he is pretty small and good but I choose the 80he because of the sice and the extra buttons. But is the 60he or the 80he better for gaming in your opinion? (Theoraticly because the 80he can't be shipped for now)

[vapid burrow]

Of course the Gem80 is worse. It has classic mechanical switches. Yes they have shorter travel but the stem must still straver 1.6mm before it registers. That’s 4 times as much as the 0.4mm I have set on the 60HE. My movement felt sluggish and heavy.

[vapid burrow]

For games the 60HE is good for me. I don’t use all the buttons on the keyboard when I play. And I’ve only remapped 2 buttons for voting stuff in games like TF2 (F1 and F2) for example.

For me, the 80HE is also good, but at that size you’re buying it as a daily driver, and for me wireless connectivity is very important, which is why I didn’t go with the 80HE as my second keyboard

If it had wireless, even with loosing the 8K polling rate and being stuck with normal 1k, I would’ve been happy and bought it

My work desk is rather small, so having cables running everywhere would clutter up the space fast

[jagged moat]

For me 0.4 mm are feeling like that you are just lying your finger on then keyboard and it trigger already the gaming movement (I am playing valorant if that is helpfull) and just a tiny tipp could easily give away my position. So idk if that would be really any difference when I am changing the trigger point to something that would be for me perfect and in harmony with reaction.

[vapid burrow]

My mouse it also wireless, I have a Logitech G Pro, the Gem80 I got is also wireless and it’s only my headset that is wired, and that because I like music and want to experience it at the best level

[vapid burrow]

Yeah it takes some getting used to. Fist time I activated Rapid Trigger the keyboard was actually too fast for my liking. So I took it from 0.1 mm to 0.4 and now it’s all good

I also have 1.4 or something like that for the typing profile

[jagged moat]

You're right, you get the best sound quality with a wired headset so it shouldn't be a very big problem because if you need to listen to steps or maps sounds then than is important

[vapid burrow]

Yeah I just run the cable to the side and it’s all good

[vapid burrow]

I also played some Val but now I stopped completely and I’m only playing CS and TF2 from now on

[jagged moat]

I do have a pretty large desk but it's shape design is absolutely not for gaming designed (it's round about 2.5 meter x 1 or 1.5 meter at least 2x1 meter ) but I switched to a wireless gaming mouse because it would be better for flicks and I wouldn't be fighting with the cable while playing ingame

[jagged moat]

Both or at least cs are FPS games so they are pretty similar

[vapid burrow]

Val is CS with Overwatch abilities so yeah, they are both FPS. I used to play it with some friends but last week I decided to never play it again

[vapid burrow]

Round tables are for playing Cards Against Humanity or family dinner 🗿

[jagged moat]

And I mean the true 8k poling rate in exchange for some millimetres are ok and I think rappy snappy could actually be something for me in strafing

[vapid burrow]

At the end of they day you play the best with what you train the most. So even a crappy keyboard, in the hands of someone who’s been using it for the last 5 years is going to be just fine

[jagged moat]

I can understand it if you run into some cringe e daters man. I think it's just a different playstyle and very interesting in each round

[vapid burrow]

That and the turn the game took.

[jagged moat]

Totally true, you just need to get used to it and care for as your best friend

[vapid burrow]

Their last agent being the cherry on top

[vapid burrow]

After using the 60HE for some months, now every keeb I use to play feels really slow 🤣

[jagged moat]

The bin binary clove and such a political theme shouldn't be in a game. A game should have nothing to do with some new modern society topics

[vapid burrow]

Exactly. Which is why I deleted Val, LOL and their Riot Client all together.
I don’t know what kind of retard is running things up there, but it ain’t it chief

[jagged moat]

At least you get a travel case with the 80he so you can take it every where

[vapid burrow]

I’m there to game and have fun, not see the trans flag every time your new agent pops a spoke

[vapid burrow]

There’s one for the 60HE too, but it’s small enough to easily fit in a backpack too

[jagged moat]

At least their netflix series arcane is kinda nice and clean from all that shit

[vapid burrow]

2 of the main characters were lesbians but sure 🤣

They didn’t make that ** their whole personality **

Also new episodes coming this year so be ready

[jagged moat]

I mean that was okay love is love no disagreement but clove was too much

[jagged moat]

Oh sure i will be

[vapid burrow]

Whoa careful with that “love is love”. They are now trying to make pedophilia sound like a not so bad thing to do

[vapid burrow]

I liked the first season a lot, rewatched it with friends a few times

[jagged moat]

Oh holy shot didn't know that man. I meant raze and kj but never heard that they are trying to sound paedophilia like something not that worse

[ebon sluice]

are these bots talking about some topic nobody wants to read in a keyboard channel?

[jagged moat]

Sry we got off the topic

[vapid burrow]

There is some “documentary” that aired not too long ago where a guy was literally defending pedophiles.. ofc I didn’t watch it to give them extra traction.

[jagged moat]

Kinda too much into the conversation and the topics overlapped

[vapid burrow]

Don’t read it

[jagged moat]

But what does it have to do with riot games?

[vapid burrow]

No worries.

Anyway, I gtg have some dinner

[vapid burrow]

They put a character that pushes the same agenda in the game.
I won’t be supporting them by playing their games

As simple as that

[jagged moat]

Have a good meal man and thanks to the conversation. The 80he is my first working keyboard so I am looking to get it in mid summer this year and trying to figure out all kinda things I can do with the wootility configs

Wooting not working damn it

[vapid burrow]

Ah I see, have fun with it!
It’s a really good keyboard 🤙
You’ll definitely love it!
The Wootility software is what I like the most about the keeboards. It makes my 60% not feel like just a 60%. You’ll see when you get yours

[ebon sluice]

I did and there goes 2 seconds of my life never to return

[vapid burrow]

RIP Prospa’s 2 seconds

[jagged moat]

Nice that sounds even more interesting. Let's hope it will get faster shipped when I forget it so it can be here in no time as a small surprise gift for myself anyway BB man and if I will have any more questions in future I will most likely ask you

Ps. RIP prospa's 2 seconds

Now I gotta go
Good night

[daring axle]

it might have been listed, but i cant remember and im already here so ill jsut ask it. are the LEDs on the 80 going to be north or south facing?

[jagged moat]

[glass reef]

[buoyant solstice]

North as all of our previous keyboards.

[wide loom]

guys, what's with the popularity with the metal cases

[exotic bloom]

i went with plastic cause i already have alu boards

but the heft is nice

[low token]

More premium feel

[exotic bloom]

board doesnt move around as much

[low token]

And you can kill someone with it

[exotic bloom]

fr

[low token]

Some metal cases weights 3kg+

[exotic bloom]

cnc boards are really nice, especially if they have a good finish on them

[wide loom]

i kinda want a white keyboard, you think its worth the extra?

[exotic bloom]

ye mine is around 3kg

[wispy trellis]

no - go wioth black frame and spent the extra on premium keycaps way better

but if you want all go with it 😉 i like the feel of metal..

[wide loom]

wym by premium keycaps?

[exotic bloom]

GMK

if you have the money, base kits are around $100-120

[low token]

Well you can get good quality keycaps for little bit cheaper.

[odd wadi]

would ye say it would have been worth to spend 100 euro extra for the zinc board? i got the plastic never had a metal board

[exotic bloom]

ye ignore me, im way too deep in the rabbit hole

plastic boards are more thoccy, if thats what you are going for
metal will provide a more even feel/ fuller sound

[odd wadi]

well we will see down the line i can always just get a metal board for it if i feel like it

[valid comet]

i bought PBTfans WoB Simple Base for 75 USD

for the 80HE

[umbral locust]

Imagine buying GMK when you could buy a random cheap set off Ali Express. (Cries in 3 GMK sets)

[exotic bloom]

This is tomo, with gmk kouhai and a lat artisan

[compact moat]

Your opinion on taking black / white keycaps on 80he assembled? Will the white keycaps yellow out fast? Is it harder to maintain clean? Many thanks in advance and have a blessed night

[umbral locust]

takes a looooong time for white keycaps to yellow

[exotic bloom]

I'm at 8 gmk sets

[umbral locust]

Realistically not an issue unless you smoke a lot or the sun hits your keyboard all day

[wispy trellis]

imagine when you live in germany where gmk is origined and not even get one ISO DE gmk set because they don't care..

[umbral locust]

rip

[umbral locust]

I will have probably the same amount by the end of the year

[exotic bloom]

ye the market favours ansi, most designers are US or Asia based

the best you can hope for is for the designer to create a suitable extension kit with ISO

ive already cut down from a bunch of other sets

[umbral locust]

The worst part is juts not being able to use them all

[exotic bloom]

love me some potato trays

haha ye, not enough boards to use them all

[umbral locust]

I mean you can with a rotation, but like it's still not enough haha

I have multiple 60hes just for that and it's still not enough. Perhaps we don't have a keyboard hobby and just have a keycap hobby lmao

Because I am buying 2 80hes just so I can use 2 sets of keycaps

[exotic bloom]

well im in the resin hobby, another money sink

[umbral locust]

rip

[exotic bloom]

makes $100 gmk sets sound like a bargain compared to 1 keycap for $100

[umbral locust]

I have a few artisans but luckily I usually find them out of place so I don't care too much for them

I have one to go with my GMK Pharaoh since the RAMA ones were sold out

[low token]

@exotic bloom Mate he is not crazy like us to buy gmk

[exotic bloom]

most of mine are in an artisan tray or still in their boxes

[umbral locust]

I think the artisan fits the theme well

But I still feel like it's a bit out of place lmao

[low token]

Nice fit

[exotic bloom]

brass artisans fit the theme nicely

[umbral locust]

Thanks! I initially had this in an Alumaze but I've just come to find I prefer the plastic one more.

that's a nice fit, so may blanks rarely match cherry or oem size

[wide loom]

i love how economy costs more than expedited

[daring axle]

its a trick to make you get the expedited because they want you getting your stuff as quickly as possible

[exotic bloom]

i was only offered dpd and ups, both same estimated delivery day

but one was double the price

[ebon sluice]

I just wanna what extras UPS will add to their service

[exotic bloom]

i see UPS for you is also more expensive

[low token]

Well I prefer dhl it is around 3d max

[exotic bloom]

dhl is always a bit more expensive

also they always hit me with the import tax, every other courier is a hit or miss, some even never

[umbral locust]

Fuck UPS

[daring axle]

if youre deciding between fedex and ups i would def spend more money on ups.

ive never had a good experience with fedex

[ebon sluice]

I though it'd be the other way around but not double the price

[low token]

No import tax

[exotic bloom]

i mean in general

ofc not for things that have already taken the tax during payment

[ebon sluice]

Fedex here is good as they have pickup points if I'm not home, I haven't really had much experience with UPS

[exotic bloom]

ive only had fedex mess up one order totally, the rest are normally late or driver marked customer as not in

EVRI on the other hand is a total nightmaare

[daring axle]

ill say, im kinda out of the way of most deliveries and US if that matters. but every ffedex delivery ive ever had has been almost a week late or damaged. UPS is mor expensive but for my area at least they deliver reasonably and ive never had anything ive had to make a claim on

[compact moat]

Thanks so far for the replies regarding yellowing of the white key caps. Is there any opinions on the ghost casing + white keycaps if this will look good (assembled) or just go with the black case + black keycaps? I am curious what you think about it!

[boreal talon]

can i get my role like what

[kind wasp]

is jade the best switch for competitive gaming?

[lime aspen]

The switches don't affect performance

They just sound/feel different

[kind wasp]

yeah i heard they are more stabile idk if its rly a difference tho in gaming

[lime aspen]

It's not they just feel better

[tranquil blaze]

Will prices ever change? I can’t rlly afford the 80He rn so is there a possibility prices will drop?

[kind wasp]

prbly not :/

just safe up for it

[acoustic jasper]

they have total travel of 3.5mm instead of lekker switch's 4mm so if u like a shorter feeling then go jades

[midnight iron]

Unlikely. If anything the zinc case option might go up in price by $10 if what Calder said last time on stream still stands

[kind wasp]

do i need to buy this or does it come with a cable alrdy?

[idle sage]

comes witha cable

not a coiled one i think\

you can see everything that comes in the box on their website

[kind wasp]

oh ok i think i will just buy cheap rn and later i will maybe upgrade some things like the case or cable etc

also the frost case looks very cool

[idle sage]

for real thats my exact mindset aswell

[kind wasp]

only thing i buy rn is the jade

i dont rly know what keycaps are good in german layout so i trust wooting

[kind wasp]

i also dont wanna spend like over 300 rn for a keyboard

[idle sage]

fr

[jade widget]

From what I've heard german layout is pretty rare for keycaps

[kind wasp]

yeah they are and i think most of them are just cheap stuff

[remote notch]

Mine as well save the money then

[ancient quail]

What’s the difference between these and the original ones

80he

[midnight iron]

those are doubleshot pbt. Some people prefer doubleshot printing over dye sub

[ancient quail]

Is it a feel thing or just font/ painting

[midnight iron]

just font/painting. I believe some of the stock keycaps are also doubleshot already too though

depends on what language etc you select. Some are doubleshot pbt, some abs plastic, some done using dye sub

[ancient quail]

I want English so I think default

[midnight iron]

ansi?

[ancient quail]

Yeah

[midnight iron]

then i think the difference is just that you're paying for white keycaps

[ancient quail]

Oh okay

[umbral locust]

Yeah iirc if oyu pick ansi then the stock keycaps are duble shot black pbt

[ancient quail]

What does double shot mean

[midnight iron]

it's the process of printing the keycaps

well technically it's molded not printed when you doubleshot

[ancient quail]

Okay thank you

There aren’t a promo codes right ?

[midnight iron]

nopers

[wide loom]

Both black and white keycaps are textured, right? black kind of looks a bit shiny in the picture

With the Wooting 80HE, it says its not expected til July, so I'm assuming that's the batch if people order now 😮

[hazy forum]

WDYM?

[jade widget]

depends US gets an estimate of late july everyone else gets an estimate of early august

[late turret]

Okay cool haha cause I ordered my first Wooting with the 60HE+ cause I didn't want to wait months with no keyboard 😂 I'll probs get the 80 later in the year, just because 👀

[pine willow]

UK has late July also

[marble shard]

Does anyone think they’ll release those clear cases for the 60 he at some point I really like the frosted look of the 80 he case

[low token]

I dont think so. But propably there is tray mount case like that

[upbeat berry]

we are making a frosted clear case

and its available since start of the campaign

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-80he-pcr-abs-case

and in the module configuratior when buying the 80he

[jolly tangle]

@upbeat berry read

[odd briar]

All the ones I've found so far don't have the e with € and q with @

[kind wasp]

i got it :3

❤️

[red heart]

all the gmk sets international additions come with them as far as i can see

[odd briar]

Since when do they make backlit keycaps?

[red heart]

oh sorry i forgot what the convo was about

[odd briar]

No worries

[low token]

I guess around 20yrs

[low token]

What layout do you use. Because I can do @ with shift and € with right alt

[red heart]

iso-de has them on q and e

[low token]

Which is really easy

[odd briar]

Currently I have a razer keyboard that's ansi, but im looking to switch to qwertz with my 80he cause I just got a office job and don't wanna come home to a different keyboard layout then I have at work

[red heart]

just get blank keycaps that way the legend doesnt matter

[pine willow]

https://tenor.com/view/total-commitment-doctor-strangelove-gif-10761082

[red heart]

[odd briar]

Well, I want backlit legends

[low token]

So I guess you will have umlauts on iso german layout keycaps

[odd briar]

Yes

I also never learned to properly type so still need the Legends

[low token]

Well I have no need for this because I can do ą ę etc with right alt

Which is quick

@odd briar have also layout keyboard like in germany

But no one is using it

[spice torrent]

I got an email about my purchase talking about VAT %, then it says (exempt from our country's local VAT (21%) but your order may be subject to additional taxes, duties and/or custom fees charged by the country of destination) whats this mean? Do I gotta pay more?

[jolly tangle]

what country?

[spice torrent]

Singapore

[jolly tangle]

I see you are talking in #💬│general lets stick to that channel

[toxic zephyr]

so do that instead, takes like 2 weeks of effort and benefits you forever

[odd briar]

Still want legends either way

Even if/when I learn 10 finger typing I'm never gonna be able to memorize an entire keyboard and all legends and sub legends

[toxic zephyr]

well there's only a handful you ever need

those you can memorize and the ones you extremely rarely need you can find by trial and error anyway

if you really really want the legends then you're just gonna have to pick from the 3 sets in the world that have those sublegends

So propably. No name, discord name, your first neme last name. One of three i guess

[prisma fjord]

probably it's module boards exclusive?

[low token]

Because it is not sold in prebulit

[upbeat berry]

no preassembled frost version exists

[valid comet]

is the 80HE chassis in zinc going to be threaded by case, or using seperate metallic threads to retain durability?

[silver wave]

i heard that if you want to change keycaps you have to rotate the switch, is it true? why?

[buoyant solstice]

With Lekker switches? No. Not required.

The reason why this happens is that some keycap sets are moulded with "south facing" switches in mind. This may be an issue with some third party switches.

[nova nexus]

Should be noted that this is very uncommon

[dusky bay]

If I want to change the switch to gateron jade switch, do I need to reorder or just wait for support?

[stray oak]

hello, any estimated delivery date?

just ordered the 80he and the batch arrives mid july, how long do they take to ship it out?

[buoyant solstice]

It is ESTIMATED to arrive in July/August.

As for how long it'll take to ship to you, that's mainly up to your choice of shipping.

[umbral locust]

I picked the day before speed from the magic unicorn

dont have my founders role though

or his cs

he got bought fr

[lime falcon]

valorant pros have their heads i mean they use what they want

[valid comet]

please be a good HE board

[lime falcon]

cs pros are just cringelords

imagine coach shittalking u because u swapped mouse 😭

[umbral locust]

Imagine needing a coach for a videogame

[valid comet]

the threads are made of a metal alloy like brass kinda like keychron Q series so it doesnt damage the chassis

[kind wasp]

?

[lime falcon]

most teams are ass without a coach

[kind wasp]

fr

[umbral locust]

imagine being a pro and still being ass at the game

[lime falcon]

real

[languid swallow]

just bought my 80he !!!!

i'm so happyyyy

[low token]

Cool. Which one

[languid swallow]

ghost color

plastic cuz i'm poor

[low token]

Np

[umbral locust]

Plastic is based anyway

[languid swallow]

fr

[lime falcon]

plastic supremacy

[low token]

I hope so it will work well for u

[umbral locust]

Lighter and more Thocc. Wish they did a white plastic case.

[low token]

Yeah turtles gonna choje on my keycaps

[lime falcon]

😭 thats what ive been praying so long

[silk hedge]

more thocc

[languid swallow]

do we know when the production will start ?

[nova nexus]

End of May

[low token]

Sounds reasonable

[languid swallow]

nice !

[valid comet]

cool

[languid swallow]

i'm finally going to hit immo 3 now

[rapid yew]

Hello, if I order the founders campaign 80HE module it says I get 1+1 free switch pack, does this mean that I don`t need to choose any switches in the order?

[low token]

Buy 1 and get free l60 or l45

[umbral locust]

You still need to buy switches

They really need to reword that because a lot of people keep thinking they don't need to buy switches with the Module.

[languid swallow]

what's the difference between l60s and L45s ?

[lime falcon]

weight

[digital portal]

weight

[umbral locust]

l45s are lighter/softer

[languid swallow]

alr thx

[low token]

Springs

[lime falcon]

L45 are just lighter u probably will like them on WASD

[languid swallow]

so the founders get 90 lighter switches dats cool

i'll probably give some to my friends

[lime falcon]

yeah thats cool

[low token]

They own wooting keyboard?

[languid swallow]

one of em has a 60he

[low token]

Ask him

[buoyant solstice]

What doesn't damage what?

What are we talking about 😄

[umbral locust]

I think he is asking a question about tray mounting, but it's a gasket mount board.

If the standoffs are removable or not.

[buoyant solstice]

Indeed. The case does come in two parts with click? screw? together depending on which material.

But the PCB itself is held in suspense with the gasket.

[valid comet]

keychron Q1 is gasket mounted, but I mean to close the chassis it takes screws I assume

[buoyant solstice]

The metal one at least, yes. I am not 100% sure about the plastic one. I think it might use clips instead - which is why you can't mix metal and plastic?

[valid comet]

there the screws go, are the threads made of a brass alloy or is it made of the zinc chassis itself

[buoyant solstice]

I honestly couldn't tell you - I don't handle prototypes. But it's a great question for a livestream, or if you see Calder hang out in the Discord (usually this channel)

[valid comet]

sure!

[buoyant solstice]

The Alumaze used threads drilled directly into the case. Not sure if the zinc case follows that approach.

[valid comet]

or if calder is just acting sneaky because sometimes he is like that lol

[valid comet]

i would hope so, because it would not wear down the chassis

im pretty sure they did that like the alumaze

but I will ask next time I get the chamce :)

[wheat wyvern]

I bet this gets asked all the time but can anyone let me know if there’s any significant difference between Plastic vs Zinc alloy besides maybe durability and the look?

[umbral locust]

sound

[wheat wyvern]

Anything else

[umbral locust]

No that's about it, is heavier, looks, feels and sounds different.

If you are just a gamer trying to get a keyboard, then plastic is more than fine.

Metal is really just there for picky keyboard enthusiasts mostly

[wheat wyvern]

That’s cool for the enthusiasts, I’ll settle with my plastic one then i don’t think i can change it now anyways

Thank you for informing me goat

[umbral locust]

np

[icy cosmos]

Wait what? Why would you go for a click fastener system? Won’t it wear out faster than a screw in?

[upbeat berry]

as far as im aware its all screwed

[buoyant solstice]

[icy cosmos]

Thanks for clarifying

[kind wasp]

can i use these in the wooting 80HE?

[upbeat berry]

i mean at least i coudlnt see any clips when at clackycon yesterday and seeing all ABS cases myself

and 2 zinc ones

[jolly tangle]

I think you can use those switches?

[upbeat berry]

can yes but they wont give you access to all functions as intended

[kind wasp]

could u make these work for it?

[upbeat berry]

no

well yes

[kind wasp]

:c

[upbeat berry]

but then you need our switches as well

and swap the stem into those switches

the issue is their magnet is too strong so you get less travel and inaccurate distances

[kind wasp]

so only jade rn

[upbeat berry]

well lekker v2, jades, KS20

and prob more switches that arent as popular

[kind wasp]

ok thx

[umbral locust]

adding KS-20Us to that list

[umbral locust]

Yes but not worth it tbh

[kind wasp]

yeah i got the jades hopefully i will like them as well. i had a problem with wiggly switches

[lime falcon]

yes but please dont

raptors are so weird

[kind wasp]

why?

[umbral locust]

They kinda feel pointless.

[lime falcon]

Well I dont know why they even exist lol, they are quite similar to L60 with slightly improved stem wobble but their magnets are much stronger god knows why, rgb is unusable, if you bottom out rapid trigger is delayed because of stronger magnet

[kind wasp]

can i send videos in?

[lime falcon]

yes

[kind wasp]

yeee

[umbral locust]

Might actually make sense for OSU with a stronger magnet. You want it to actuate as fast as possible.

So if it wrongly actuates too soon it's a boon instead of a flaw. But I never played OSU so who knows

[lime falcon]

no they are bad because then if you bottom out rapid trigger works delayed according to Simon

[umbral locust]

damn

[lime falcon]

and in osu most of the time you bottom out

[umbral locust]

really is pointless then lmao

[humble cargo]

cHeAtEr SwItChEs

[tight cypress]

Hol up... How so? It's still 100/50 if you press too soon

[umbral locust]

It was my understanding that since the magnets on the raptors are super strong, they actuate too soon.

[lime falcon]

yea jades exist no reason to get raptors, jades are great

jades also have stronger magnet but because of closed bottom, it compensates, why raptors have stronger magnet 🤷

[kind wasp]

so only the closed bottom is bad?

[lime falcon]

closed bottom is not bad

[umbral locust]

this is not bad

[lime falcon]

i like it more

[umbral locust]

It can actually be a good thing.

[jolly tangle]

I need this keyboard to come out

[lime falcon]

Im ordering soon and going into deep sleep mode

You wont see me here until July-August

[kind wasp]

even u dont get it faster?

how much can the jade do?

[lime falcon]

dont even watch that video

[kind wasp]

why?

[lime falcon]

that raw data means nothing

[kind wasp]

it gives good infos and also represents my problem with the jiggle

[lime falcon]

btw

[jolly tangle]

ayoooooooooooooooooooooooo

@nova nexus

are you reading this

[lime falcon]

jades will have probably a little low but they have literally no wiggle

[kind wasp]

thats why i chose them

[low token]

I remember mansen said that raptors might work but they have too strong magnets

[kind wasp]

but now i also want high raw data xD

[lime falcon]

it means nothing, they have 1800 because of stronger magnet but as i posted earlier then rapid trigger works a little delayed

if you bottom out

[lime falcon]

.

[kind wasp]

so then jade are perfect

[lime falcon]

also this is tested on sayodevice which might have shitty sensors and thats why lekker switches got low raw data

[low token]

They are perfect for sound

[lime falcon]

jades are great yes they are allround, dont fuck up anything like raptors

[buoyant solstice]

cough travel distance cough

[low token]

Do you need 0.5m

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[lime falcon]

they still work on 4mm so what?

4mm when holding down the key

[crimson quiver]

The sensor detects analog values 0-1024, etc., it can't detect distance
(1024 is a guess on bit depth; not sure what Wooting uses).

[umbral locust]

4mm is 100%

Read it that way.

[umbral locust]

I really want a closed bottom non long stem switch already.

[summer urchin]

quick question, is there a cable included with the keyboard?

[lime falcon]

yea and because of slightly stronger magnet it fully covers and there is no problem using 4mm at all

[buoyant solstice]

Yep

[crimson quiver]

Yes

[buoyant solstice]

My point is that you're losing .5mm of travel distance and thus sensitivity.

[summer urchin]

aah cool cool, couldn't remember and since the coil cable is optional i just wanted to make sure

[lime falcon]

I guess preference

[open bramble]

If i didnt order any switches but claimed the founders pack, do i still get the extra switches?

[lime falcon]

but I like 3.5mm 🤷

[buoyant solstice]

You didn't order any switches (that you paid for), so you won't receive any free ones as a result.

[open bramble]

Ahh ok!

No worries thankyou!

[umbral locust]

Its why I like a longer spring. It gives me finer control over the travel distance

[lime falcon]

did u swap springs on jades?

[umbral locust]

Yup

18mm 70g

[lime falcon]

can you link the springs which you used?

[umbral locust]

But i have 22s on the way in 63

Tag me me in like 2 hours i can link em when am home

[lime falcon]

I will dm you

[umbral locust]

Aight

[summer urchin]

Does that also work for the full keyboard?

[buoyant solstice]

The free pack of switches is one per customer, for a purchase of an 80HE

[summer urchin]

Yeah I ordered zinc 80he, do I get them?

[lime falcon]

free 90pc switch pack is gone in 7 days get urs NOW

[lime falcon]

Yes

[summer urchin]

Awesome ty

[lime falcon]

oops I havent even ordered yet

[buoyant solstice]

Preassembled? Yes, free L45 pack.
Module - AND - you paid for any switch pack in the order? Yes, your choice of L45 or L60 pack

[summer urchin]

Aaah got it

[calm wyvern]

soon

[small rune]

The different between L45 and L60 is just only the spring and color?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[vast dock]

when will the pc plate be available for 80he?

looking to buy all as a bundle cos of shipping costs

[jolly tangle]

it has a pc plate by default

[vast dock]

o nice! thanks

[keen patio]

how do i get my founders role

also i hope the 80he is good for cs cause i did not really want the 60

[true elm]

login to your account on wooting's website and click "connect"

or "refresh awards"

[valid comet]

it should be the same but with a different form factor plus true 8k

so yeah should be good!

[keen patio]

sweet

[limber lava]

I think one time, I got a GMMK 2, and it was the 65% version. I didn’t like it without the arrow & F1 - 12 keys. For me, I do not like 60-65% keyboards

[versed girder]

checking for my founder role :3

[sly thicket]

Anyone know how to change your order? I wanted to switch my backplate and sent a support ticket, not sure if the support peeps work weekends or not...

[woeful swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/hurry-up-skeleton-skeleton-meme-game-dead-gif-9606668103631684858

i need this keyboard now !!!!!!!!

[umbral locust]

They dont.

[sly thicket]

thank you :)

[tired pelican]

do i have to buy this cable with the wootinng 80he or can i just buy the keyboard and it'll come with a cable

[deft basalt]

Comes with cable

[tired pelican]

bet

[stoic hazel]

if ulike with cable come from the package then u dont need to buy these cable

[tired pelican]

fs

[wild wigeon]

Yo has anyone tried the gateron magnetic jade switches??

[steel grove]

@tired pelican

[vague forge]

Will I be able to buy the 80he after the founders campaign?

Or will i have to wait ?

[lime aspen]

Once the founders campaign is over you likely would need to wait for them to get produced before being able to purchase them

Not sure, but that's how I'd guess its gonna work out

[vague forge]

[lime aspen]

And or you can order them right as it ends just won't be part of founders and will be put in a later batch

Either way your gonna be waiting until likely September before you can get it if you aren't a founder

[tired pelican]

Preciate u
