🌟│wooting80he

[ebon sluice]

You'll still be able to order after the founders campaign but the free switch pack won't be offered

[umbral locust]

Plenty of us have

[vague forge]

Good enough

[thorn hedge]

so what if i ordered an 80he and i got impatient and cancelled the order but i kinda wanna uncancel the cancel order...
shall i reply to my own email (they havent cancelled the order yet)

[buoyant solstice]

Yes. 😊

We'll see both emails and keep the order as is.

[thorn hedge]

😄

[severe merlin]

Yo, when I ordered it it didn’t ask for my name for the Website??

[rustic idol]

This will come after the campaign, stay patient

[severe merlin]

Ok.

[valid comet]

so exxited to read the post card

like im not lying I really am excited to read it

[karmic canyon]

is the new youtube video different than the most recent livestream

[buoyant solstice]

Yes. The two are always different from each other.

[nova nexus]

The update video had no cat visible during the entire length of the video

Therefore livestream was better

[icy cosmos]

Let me answer your real question. You came to ask of us to justify you to spending 45 dollars on a detachable USB C cable. Also if this expensive cable will make your keybord preform better than a 5 dollar USB C cable. If you are one of the people that value aesthetic and fancy words before hard core facts and technoloy. Let me introduce you to HiFi cables for around 250€ you can have this facny AudioQuest Carbon USB C 1,5m cable. Elevate yourself from the Weebs. https://www.audioquest.com/cables/digital-cables/usb-c-to-usb-c/carbon ( FYI there´s a Diamond version too )

[midnight iron]

Could have at least made the cable look cool for $250

[icy cosmos]

What matters is on the inside 😉

[midnight iron]

the church of the raw cerakote doesn't approve. The outside must be pretty

[rain bear]

just ordered my 80HE

[lime falcon]

get your role

nvm

[rain bear]

😛

[dense ridge]

in what case =)?

[rain bear]

Zinc 🤝🏻

[dense ridge]

black?

[rain bear]

Yeye

[warm jasper]

I caved and ordered mine today.

[trail perch]

I got the raw one cause I already have a pure black keyboard

[warm jasper]

Alr had a 60 but fuck it we ball

[trail perch]

Wondering what keycap set I should get to compliment it

[random solstice]

It's normal, I ordered Thursday and I still haven't received it

[buoyant solstice]

Would be impressive to receive a products two months before we said it would ship out 😄

[hexed wadi]

Just ordered a zinc 80HE 😄

60HE is great already but 80HE for 8khz and more keys for editing is a W

[upbeat berry]

courtesy of @buoyant solstice

[jolly tangle]

[astral sedge]

I never understood the appeal of 60HE keyboards. Are other people using F Keys so seldom?

[buoyant solstice]

For a lot of games? Yes.

[ebon sluice]

More desk real estate is nice for giga-swiping, I've lost count how often how I'd smash my mouse into a larger keyboard. Programmers use 60% as well and in particular the HHKB

[spark hound]

60% for devs sounds silly

[astral sedge]

yeah espeically for programming you have to be some hardcore vim/emacs user. Most other modern IDEs use a lot of F keys for shortcuts

[spark hound]

no arrow? im a vim user.. but even then.. arrows please

[astral sedge]

I learned vi on SunOS/early Solaris. I learned that you should pretent that arrow keys do not exist because they do terrible things 😄

[spark hound]

old school terminals are... oof

[astral sedge]

it is not the terminal

it is really the vi. It also crashes if you make the terminal wider than 132 chars 🙂

[buoyant solstice]

It's all about the 40% or lower for Devs.

[astral sedge]

Need like space for 2 32" monitors but no place for a TKL, so keyboard must be a 60% -- random dev

[ebon sluice]

I think there's room for an 80HE in there, the extra girth wouldn't be that much more

[astral sedge]

@ebon sluice yeah, I don't understand why programmers would choose a 60 over a 80/TKL. I kind of get the 60HE for gamers that only game on their PC and actually never really need those fkeys

[spark hound]

Looming at battlefield games.... You need it in games as well

[jolly tangle]

hahaha remember when battlefield wanted you to buy bullets for real money

[spark hound]

never a thing

[tight cypress]

Oh yeah, John Riccitiello

You can easily tell when he was EA's CEO

[astral sedge]

I don't think you need them in the current helldivers 2 😉

[jolly tangle]

I see cals is an educated gamer

[astral sedge]

anyway back to a different topic. Is the keyset we get with 80HE a full set or just the keys we have on the board?

[tight cypress]

Full TKL set, so full set without numpad keys

[buoyant solstice]

Depends on layout

[astral sedge]

I would probably replace like to replace Print Screen and Scroll lock with Home and End

[buoyant solstice]

If you get any keycaps at all with the order, you will as a minimum receive what goes on the board, plus the rest of the TKL cluster.

Numpad (or rather a fullsized keyboard worth) of keycaps is part of any set of keycaps you buy specifically, that isn't preinstalled.

[formal hemlock]

how to get it?

[tight cypress]

Here https://hub.wooting.io/my/account

[formal hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-womens-day-2023-1luv-gif-27668407

[eternal hamlet]

Does anyone know if the 80HE board has ESD protection circuit?

[upbeat berry]

like all peripherals should, the keyboard ground is connected to your PCs ground through the USB cable so if you PC has proper ESD protections it should all be fine

[wind tiger]

Only actual concern would be if the case on the zimc models is as well

Depending on the coating the raw one will get it could be conductive

[eternal hamlet]

Yeah I was considering the zinc case, but now it's out of the picture for me

[wind tiger]

Not saying it isn't esd safe

They did that right on the old boards with a metal top plate as well

Also not hard to do, just have the screw holes for the daughterboard be connected to shield

[upbeat berry]

would be grounded as well

[wind tiger]

👍all good then

[upbeat berry]

this is something we also already have figured out due to alumaze

[wind tiger]

Had boards in the past that had issues with that cough thanks kbdfans cough

[wind tiger]

Alumaze was mao only tho?

[upbeat berry]

no

only the concrete gray is mao

[wind tiger]

Ah nvm then

[upbeat berry]

we have normal anodized and the new white is painted i believe

[wind tiger]

Ah right

[upbeat berry]

idk about the pink tbh

[simple dome]

Where do I request roles? I paid Wooting 80he

[upbeat berry]

i think its either mao or painted

[upbeat berry]

https://hub.wooting.io

[wind tiger]

With mao it technically would not be required

[upbeat berry]

well better safe than sorry

[wind tiger]

Yea obv

[upbeat berry]

smth smth good products

[wind tiger]

Was funny to have them tell me "it's ESD protection is working just fine" after sending a video of me touching the board while it is plugged in and then disable the rgb and loosing the keymap by sliding my foot on the floor

[gray surge]

is it normal if i pre order the 80 he and its not showing up on my orders?

[red heart]

How long as it been

[somber elm]

Also: Ricciatelli

thank god he got kicked

[gray surge]

1-2 days

[red heart]

🤔

Did you use the correct email?

[inner rune]

at exactly what time and in what timezone does the founders campaign end for the 80he

[buoyant solstice]

If I had to make a guess, Monday at 14-16 CEST

[inner rune]

ok thx

[shell monolith]

I pre ordered mine today, can’t wait till July

[pseudo parrot]

the first batch is close to filling up, i believe it was a 20k limit for boards but might be wrong

[astral sedge]

if they are implementing USB and not skipping on parts of the spec they should have some

[brisk oxide]

will a keycap set like the take control come for 80he layout?

[worn prairie]

when will production start?

[pseudo parrot]

end of may by current estimates

[gray surge]

i got the confirmation on my email and stuff but not showing up on my orders hmm

[red heart]

🤔

[worn prairie]

wait for a few hrs

[dusty lava]

did they ever undo that dumb pricing change when he got kicked out

[somber elm]

afaik yeah

[dusty lava]

also you know riccitiello was a bad ceo when they were too greedy even for EA to want them around

but who am i kidding he probably got out of trashing unity with a free golden parachute because capitalism

[fathom owl]

Will it be possible to use the 80he without the silicon plate thing?

kind of confused about the entire thing

[buoyant solstice]

The PC plate? Or an identically shaped alternative you make yourself? No.
Why do you ask?

[fathom owl]

Neither; The silicon in between the plate and PCB
https://youtu.be/TbC4UpRDf48?t=163

[wispy trellis]

the gasket?

[fathom owl]

Yeah I'm wondering if it's possible to use a gasket that isn't also a 'plate foam'

[buoyant solstice]

Still yes. Unless you cook up some kind of custom plate - and case to match

[fathom owl]

So foamy sound is mandatory.. that's kinda annoying 😦

[buoyant solstice]

Dampened, yes. Kind of the point 😄

[fathom owl]

I'm a custom keeb person, I like having options and check out what I like best.. 😦

[wind tiger]

with other boards that had a similar mounting style you could cut that silicone to quite a large degree without issues

[fathom owl]

Yeah I'll probably try something like that. Hopefully someone makes a video about it before hah

[pure vault]

only if I remove the free L45 pack that I can get shipping

[buoyant solstice]

Turkey?

[umbral locust]

Weird, where are you located?

[pure vault]

Bahrain

[umbral locust]

Could be a weight limit.

[buoyant solstice]

It is sadly a weight limit.

You'll have to use a package forwarder otherwise.

[pure vault]

ouch

[buoyant solstice]

Package forwarding service is probably the way to go then

[pure vault]

What country should I forward from or place the order to?

[umbral locust]

Usually UK or US depending on which service provider you use.

I used Aramex when I was in Kuwait but that was over 10 years ago.

I know DHL has such a service now too.

[mossy tiger]

is there any performance diff between the PCR ABS or Zinc alloy? im quite new to this

[pseudo parrot]

No performance difference, just materials are different

[mossy tiger]

okay, tyvm

[eager falcon]

hello , i want to order a wooting but i have a question concerning the switch ( sry if wrong salon) but what the difference between :
Lekker switch - Linear45 (L45) v2
Lekker switch - Linear60 (L60) v2
Gateron Jade Switch ?
thanks for your advise and help in advance

[umbral locust]

L60 and L45 are the same, they 45s just has a softer spring.

The jades have a closed bottom housing and travel 3.5mm instead of 4mm. This makes them feel and sound different.

Ultimately, it's all up to preference.

[eager falcon]

okay thanks you , so no difference in performance right ?

[umbral locust]

By default, wootings come with L60, if that makes it any easier.

[umbral locust]

No they are all perform the same.

[eager falcon]

thanks you for your help

[tacit kestrel]

anyone know how much import tax i would have to pay for shipping to UK ?

[buoyant solstice]

What you already paid on checkout, nothing more.

[ancient thistle]

Me, quietly hoping each day that I get an email saying my 80he shipped early LOL (wishful thinking I know).

[eager falcon]

last question any keycaps can go on the woothing or need specifique one ? ( new to this domain i know nothing ^^ )

[pseudo parrot]

Most mx style keycaps should work https://shop.daskeyboard.com/cdn/shop/products/dk-gray-pbt-keycaps-gray_grande.jpg?v=1667866093

The stem of the keycap looks like this

[eager falcon]

thanks yall

[fresh storm]

does anyone know if wooting ship to forwarding service company since they don't ship to my country

[buoyant solstice]

Typically, yes.

But we aren't responsible for what happens after we've delivered it there.

[fresh storm]

ok got it

[odd briar]

I just placed my order but it isn't showing in my orders

[hidden crest]

give it a minute

[wooden iron]

ordered mine a couple days ago. It didn't show up under orders right away, but it is there now

[wide loom]

Is the wooting 80he batch date set in stone or is it an estimate?

[low token]

On website you can see it estimate

[wide loom]

I know it's late July, but are they estimating the batch completion or is that the 100% confirmed time they ship

[low token]

More like estimated time when it is shipped

How I remember production should be done around july

[hearty veldt]

the website says "When you pre-order the Wooting 80HE during the Founders' campaign, you receive exclusive campaign perks; a unique Discord role, your name on the 80HE page & a free switch pack." Is it the profile name made during the order or the most recent profile name that appears on the website? Does anyone know? My gf name was on the profile cause she bought me it as a gift but I changed the profile name to my name, just wanted to know

[floral hare]

Hi,

Id like to double check some details just in case;

when order the default wooting without the modules but out of curiosity, is the pcb hot swap ? or does it need soldering ?

[umbral locust]

It's hot swap. But only with a few compatible switches, not like a normal keyboard.

[floral hare]

ah perfect; meaning i can use the lekker switches, lovely thanks for that

[umbral locust]

Basically whoever bought the 80he links their discord to their wooting account and that gives the account the role.

[hearty veldt]

ohh okay so its the discord username that appears on the wooting website too?

[umbral locust]

it's whatever account the buyer linked to their wooting hub

[hearty veldt]

ohh okay thank you

[sharp verge]

Ah

[lime inlet]

are there gonna be more colors for the zinc alloy case?

[umbral locust]

Not anytime soon

[lime inlet]

alright ty

im assuming there wont be any 3rd party cases either right?

[umbral locust]

That's up to 3rd parties to decide on and make.

Wooting is more than happy for others to make cases for the 80he

[untold jasper]

How would you describe the sound between the l60 and l45?

[umbral locust]

They sound the exact same.

They're the same switch, just a different colored stem and a softer spring in the 45s.

[untold jasper]

Ah okay, tyty

[chrome vector]

waiting 80he

[umbral locust]

https://tenor.com/view/me-too-girl-annie-murphy-alexis-alexis-rose-schitts-creek-gif-20791647

[polar prism]

everytime i plug my keyboard in it spam types e and q and closes things any thing i can do to fix?

[buoyant solstice]

You're either a time traveller, or you asked in the wrong channel, friend.
Make a thread over in #1019755933959733258 with more information please - original cable? tried a different USB port? and such.

[fierce parrot]

Is the appearance of the plastic cases and its different colours finalized? If so, where can I have a look at this in more detail, trying to decide a colour

[jolly tangle]

no, they will let you know later in the campaign

[fierce parrot]

Thank you mr.squirtle

[grave wren]

August is too long 😭

[lime falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/bear-sleeping-tired-gif-9532525

[dreamy sedge]

then hope for july or bribe some higher power 😄

[icy cosmos]

Not only do we have the sun and its UV light to worry about. Are Wooting plastic/ Zink cases (Coating/ Colors) resistant against RGB https://videocardz.com/newz/gamers-report-memory-rgb-lights-are-damaging-gpu-backplates

[shell monolith]

Thats just msi quality 😂, get a real brand like asus or evga

[pseudo parrot]

feelsbad evga

[icy cosmos]

You can be a fanboy all you want. Even the sun has spots. But if people are concern about the quality of something. You should look at what the company is willing to disclose regarding certain technology and materials. For example Cerakote test and certify their paints against UV and corrosion. If it´s not in the datasheet then it´s probably going to be UV sensitive. https://www.cerakote.com/resources/testing Quality comes at a cost and it´s by choice.

[winged pelican]

continuing my talk about wireless and media control supremacy - it's +quality which some people aren't willing to pay for 🙂 but it is +quality

[wind tiger]

I would be ready to pay it if those were features I actually wanted

to me it would be more of a detriment tho

[atomic cypress]

Is there any difference between PCR plastic version and zinc alloy version. Would zinc alloy version be better?

[spark hound]

plastic is plastic, zinc is zinc

[sweet skiff]

by any chance, do all cables work with the 8k polling ?

[winged pelican]

yeah ig driving a lambo is a detriment

[wind tiger]

tacking on unnecessary keys and features that when unused just make the product worse?

[winged pelican]

some people don't get to drive lambos in their lives

[wind tiger]

uhhh

ok, sure buddy

[icy cosmos]

Can you be more specific on your question. As you have clearly pointed out. The difference is in the material of the case itself. Some people would say it´s better to have a lighter case ( Plastic) while other will say its better to have a heavier case ( Zink)

[wind tiger]

I spent shittons on custom keyboards already, if I wanted them to be wireless I would have bought like any wireless one so far (I did not)
same goes for ones with knobs (dedicated media keys are easy if you can reprogram keys however you want)

[pseudo parrot]

For wireless stuff I’d prefer wireless mice because those get moved around when using, but keyboards are typically stationary

[wind tiger]

same

[pseudo parrot]

And besides hall effect board would drain the battery quick

[winged pelican]

imagine pressing left when you can press right

[icy cosmos]

Do you mean I don´t get what, the way I want it?

[wind tiger]

so which of those is VWAG?

[wind tiger]

I mean that stuff that seems like an obvious upgrade to some people might just be a subjective preference

(also wireless would not make sense with HE powerdraw)

[winged pelican]

disagree

[wind tiger]

and for media keys you got how many keys on an 80 HE that are very much non essential?

[shell monolith]

I think the difference between zinc and plastic is obvious, plastic is regular keyboard but if you want something more unique and special get the zinc one cause that’s what I did

[wind tiger]

the steelseries 60% HE wireless board doesn't even last 40 hours and needs to charge for over 11 hours on a regular PC USB port

that is not a matter of agreement

[winged pelican]

also end-game setup would include wireless charging across the surface of the desk

[wind tiger]

btw that uses a 5600maH (at 3.7V) battery

[icy cosmos]

Both are german made. You pay 3k for the left and 300k for the right. Beside the design its the same BOSH made button .

[red heart]

Good luck doing that with a hall effect board

[pseudo parrot]

O wow that’s massive for a 60% lol

[winged pelican]

company X did it wrong therefore it's bad!111

[wind tiger]

uhhh, yea if you wanna pay a few million to develop the tech, sure

[wind tiger]

that is a physical principle, can't really do much about it

[winged pelican]

why million it's ez to do; people have it already

[wind tiger]

yea

[dim sierra]

Wireless is preference but i know some ppl do like their custom kb cables over wireless

[winged pelican]

back to games

[pseudo parrot]

Slap a few 4680 cells in the 80he case all good for days

[red heart]

Bro really thinks companies should break the laws of physics to cater to his specific niche interests

[wind tiger]

[red heart]

I wirelessly charge my 80he with lightning strikes

[wind tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-low-tier-god-yskysn-ltg-thunder-thunder-gif-23523876

[sweet skiff]

Does anyboy knows if every cables usb C works with the 8k polling of the 80HE ? The actual aviator cables sold by wooting are not that good in colors :/

[pseudo parrot]

Is like a hit and miss, some can work some can’t deliver enough for high rgb brightness and tachyon

8k is only 2.0 spec so that alone is fine

[sweet skiff]

damn, buying a 60$ cable and fiding it's not working 😔

[winged pelican]

😄 polling can be reduced

and physics has nothing to do with it - wireless charging solves this

[wind tiger]

yea just let wooting make an industry wide accepted charging spec so you can buy a compatible table somewhere that also solves all the issues that companies that specialize in stuff like this face right now

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-as-that-clash-royale-hee-hee-hee-haw-gif-25054781

[pseudo parrot]

Wait doesn’t wireless charging cause emi for hall effect anyways lol

[wind tiger]

for reference, the part that logitech powerplay actually covers is tiny

[wind tiger]

ig it could be possible to shield the bottom of the PCB against that

[pseudo parrot]

That’s true

[tight cypress]

But at this point... why?
I get the mouse, because it constantly moves, but keyboard?

[wind tiger]

"because you could drive a lamborghini" or something idk

[red heart]

To cater to this one person

[hasty shore]

Got the wooting 80he 😎

[pseudo parrot]

Epic

[red heart]

Ngl as soon as someone starts talking about driving a lambo you know they have nothing to say you should pay attention to

[winged pelican]

it doesn't have to be wooting 🙂

[wind tiger]

ah right, I forgot that they have the power to just conjure up megacompanies that can do their work for them

[winged pelican]

plenty of companies already make wireless with media control, it's just the next logical step forward

[tight cypress]

How is this logical?

It sounds like another "60fps animation is better" type of situation

[winged pelican]

It is better than 30 yes

[lapis galleon]

"animation"

[winged pelican]

oh animation

I suppose so, 4k 8k 16k

but it's a step forward 🙂

[tight cypress]

I'd say wireless anything is a step backwards
I have to deal with this crap daily
How Bluetooth still isn't dead is beyond me

[winged pelican]

fps, polling 😉

back to games

[wind tiger]

funny that you name resolutions, especially for animation, I'd argue that the move to fully digital was a step back artistically

[lapis galleon]

whats the point in a desk thats entire surface is a wireless charger?

like- I dont get it

[wind tiger]

so that LG innotek can make money (in like ten years when they can build them)

[lapis galleon]

at that point just plug in your devices instead of having an objectively worse wireless device always on charge

[hazy helm]

people who got the 80he how long did you have to wait since you did a pre-order???

[tight cypress]

No one got 80he yet

[hazy helm]

??????

[tight cypress]

It's still not out

[wind tiger]

bro it legit tells you an ETA on the page

[hazy helm]

i can't read

OPS

I mean
60he

[lapis galleon]

oh

again, theres an estimate on checkout and on the hub

[pseudo parrot]

lol

[lapis galleon]

imo it depends. I heavily disagree with the sentiment everything and anything needs to be wireless. however, I do think that certain devices are better wireless.

[tight cypress]

Ah, sure, WiFi is nice when it works, and it works most of the time

[pseudo parrot]

I guess wireless has its place but can’t expect it to replace wired stuff entirely

[red heart]

Wireless mouse, wireless phone is most important

Maybe wireless tv remote too

[tight cypress]

IR is the real one

[red heart]

Other than that, wireless audio gear is convenient and all that but obvs the quality is worse

[pseudo parrot]

I like my watch being wireless, don’t want it tethered to my phone

[red heart]

But i like my airpods for when i‘m out and dont care too much since train noise is already disrupting everything

[pseudo parrot]

Likewise I prefer airpods over wired buds now since I have my phone phone on me when exercising

[old birch]

any idea what profile is the keycaps for the 80he ?

[winged pelican]

it was a tongue in cheek kind of thing, 4k 8k are polling figures btw I was comparing fps in animation to polling in kb

[red heart]

I think the wooting keycaps are oem profile

[pseudo parrot]

Jis is cherry, rest I believe is oem

[old birch]

ooo okie thanks, guess i gotta go buy new keycaps. (XDA for lyfe)

[winged pelican]

yep got a nice sound system and nice headphones also but when out and about airpods are goat

[winged pelican]

I was looking for a nice XDA for my 80he but idk wooting's caps look and sound nice

[pseudo parrot]

Yeap for sure, wires get in my way when exercising and outside 😅

[wary adder]

I agree uniform profile FTW

[old birch]

comfort over look for me

[pseudo parrot]

Likewise, I love my dsa set but xda is also great

[digital portal]

Having never used any Wooting or hall effect switches before I recently picked up the uwu and I have to say, those jade switches feel amazing compared to my linear alpaca v2 on my current mechanical. It’s such a pleasant feel and the sound is amazing as well. Really looking forward to being able to have this experience with the complete keyboard.

[valid comet]

80HE was described to have OEM profile. despite gavibg north face switches, the Lekker switches are compatible with cherry profile switches.

[winged pelican]

is XDA uncomfortable? bc I'm still on the lookout despite buying wooting's caps 😄

[low token]

You can try diffrent profiles but it require using south facing

[old birch]

if you are used to a laptop profile then yes XDA is just nice

[dense ridge]

@winged pelicanfor me xda is most comfortable format XD

[old birch]

for me i dont like the angle , so i dont do well with other profiles, already tried all before

[winged pelican]

i wish there was a bigger community where i live so i can try these profiles out 😭

[dense ridge]

i am even thinking about buying some XDA keycaps to change the stock wooting keycaps

[valid comet]

thanks for your thoughs, as Im coming from speed silvers, then because my K70 TKL broke, now romer G which is genuine dog doodoo. yeah I ordered a prebuilt 80HE in a Black zinc alloy case, with 90x L60 v2s, free pack of 90x L45 v2s, abd 90x Jade switches

[old birch]

my whole office of 20 people are all keyboard nutjobs hahhahaha

[valid comet]

speed silvers were so much better than my old romer g board

logitech really wasting their rnd funds into proprietary garbage and e waste

[old birch]

not as much as razer mate... literally only thing viable from raze is the mouse

[valid comet]

even then I cant stand using razer because synapse

legit the only reason I never buy razer

[rose crane]

this fk yoru leaves while it was like 8-12 for the other team. if we had yoru on our team still we could have won it man

[valid comet]

but razer is still ahead of the keyboard game than logitech

logitech is literally all brand and collaboration where as razer actually does good things with their rnd (usually) while half assing the process

[old birch]

reasons i quit valo bro, i dont rank no more hahahhaha

not really, keyboards from razer is kinda buggy , im speaking from experience... my whole setup is razer

[rose crane]

bro we go from8-12 to 11-12

[old birch]

just coms man, its diamond, ez pz

[rose crane]

true

[valid comet]

G502 served me well

its not even doubleclicking lmaooo

so the 80HE cable is now gonna be USB-C to C?

[buoyant solstice]

It is.

[valid comet]

now*

stupid fat fingers :(

[buoyant solstice]

Yes. With an optional A dongle on the end.

[valid comet]

very niceee I have some USB-C ports on my Z790-I board and I wanna see if that will be good

[waxen pagoda]

Does the wooting 80he come with a cable??

[valid comet]

yes

[buoyant solstice]

Yes...

[valid comet]

c to c cable, and c to a adapter

[waxen pagoda]

Ahh okay thankyou

I just bought the wooting 80he but the order dosent show under my orders

[tight cypress]

Give it a while

It may take up to an hour until it shows up

[waxen pagoda]

Ahh okay

[digital portal]

Yeah of course. The L60's just feel nice. The 45's I'd imagine could be good WSAD keys. In all, the switches feel great.

[hidden crest]

yeah i came from silvers as well, I enjoy the 45s much more but its all preference at the end of the day

[lime falcon]

current L60 feel like ass

[digital portal]

The 3 pack I got for the wooting uwu felt nice, they seemed to be lubed properly. Is there going to be a different iteration of the L60's?

[lime falcon]

L60 v2

[buoyant jacinth]

As shown on the 80HE configurator, there will be v2s of the L60s and L45s

[lime falcon]

I meant that compared to Jades current L60 feel bad, idk about v2

[digital portal]

Yeah, I know they're coming for the 80HE, but I'm curious what is supposed to be different about them from the v1's

Ah, yeah @lime falcon

[lime falcon]

Way less stem wobble

Jades were their reference for stem wobble

I guess stem wobble will be on the same level as jades, idk about feel tho. jades feel amazing for me because of closed bottom

you have that bottom out feel

[digital portal]

Yeah, I agree that the closed bottom switches feel better.

[twin kayak]

wooting does not come with something to remove keys?

[upbeat berry]

we have been trying to make a nice replacement for our old keycap puller/switch puller combo tool

[twin kayak]

just asking cuz i got my wooting today

[umbral locust]

It does

[twin kayak]

and doesnt have that tool 😦

[manic sierra]

It does

[umbral locust]

rip

[upbeat berry]

it comes with a keycap removal tool

but i dont recall us including a switch removal tool

[umbral locust]

You don't. But he didn't ask about that, sorry if that misleading.

[upbeat berry]

he asked for something that removes keys. sounds more like a switch removal tool to me

[umbral locust]

Keys = keycaps, no?

[upbeat berry]

depends on who you ask

[umbral locust]

ah I see

[upbeat berry]

to me keys = switches

[umbral locust]

I always assumed that just meant keycaps lol

[upbeat berry]

@twin kayakwhat do you exactly mean by keys

[sage wing]

I would say a keycap, is a cap for a key, a nice little hat

[jade widget]

This has been my best switch puller by far

[umbral locust]

what others have you tried?

I have the TX Switch puller, but it's my first/only one so not sure what to compare it too.

[jade widget]

I tried the TX switch puller, the IC one too

Just feels super smooth and easy when using the wuque one

[umbral locust]

https://mech.land/products/ws-keycap-puller-in-stock Tempted to try this

[hidden crest]

Small and compact is always nice

I been looking for a smaller one but hard to find thin ones outside the gateron one

Have either of you used that one btw?

[umbral locust]

Which gateron one? Ive been wanting to try their switch and keycap pullers but they are expensive

[hidden crest]

https://www.gateron.co/products/gateron-switch-puller

yeah they are expensive for sure

[digital portal]

do those work better than the tweezer style ones?

[hidden crest]

Not sure, have never used them never had a problem really with the tweezer ones saw people talking about switch pullers figured id ask

[digital portal]

Same, haven't ever had any issues with the tweezer style switch pullers.

[umbral locust]

I wanna try it

[hidden crest]

Yeah same maybe ill order one for my 80he to try

if i didnt just swap my 60he id get it for that lmao

[lime falcon]

Estimated delivery is Late july - August

[buoyant solstice]

July/August if all goes well.

[low token]

Near 20k founders

[wispy trellis]

i actually expect a extra reward for a preorder going that well and beeing part of it im such a gready bastard!

[lime falcon]

forget about it

[hearty sky]

🫣

[icy cosmos]

20k people that don’t need wireless

[jolly tangle]

according to a redditor wooting would go bankrupt

[low token]

Why

[lime falcon]

Erm

that aint happening

[jolly tangle]

this is why i avoid reddit

[lime falcon]

what did he say about software

i hope he posted this on april 1st

hes right about switches tho...

[keen eagle]

"yeah bro the software is bad, it doesn't support <WEIRD EDGE CASE HERE>"

[lime falcon]

havent seen anyone complain about software

[keen eagle]

ikr

[lime falcon]

now ive seen everything

[jolly tangle]

btw wooting does have macro software

[keen eagle]

also i think the reason why wooting keyboards seem to be so expensive is because part of the price is just for the support team / discord, guaranteed if you say something like that here people will correct and/or help you out

if wooting truly never gave a shit they'd find every cost corner they could cut and just give out really REALLY bad keyboards.. pretty sure that would cut the price down a fair bit too

like "here's your controller, bro"-type stuff

[jolly tangle]

only the founders can answer that. however the support of wooting is their weakest point. only email and you can wait up to 10 days for a small question. it doesnt not help when people spam support with small questions. however the waiting time suck. the few people do an amazing job however theyre severly understaffed

few people from woothelp help out in support now temporary ( not me)

[keen eagle]

fair enough tbh, i'm just guessing

but at least they do answer questions, unlike companies you'd probably find on amazon

[jolly tangle]

thats okay its nice to have something to talk about

[keen eagle]

or, god forbid, hyperx just saying "ohh nah we don't actually have nkro on our keyboards"

i think i saw someone talking about that on reddit because they were trying to play beatoraja/BMS on a keyboard model that i used to have

[buoyant solstice]

How do you not have nKRO a decade ago, let alone now

[keen eagle]

hey, you get what ya pay for ;D

[jolly tangle]

who is this duck person

[keen eagle]

yeah who is this "man sen"

[keen eagle]

[jolly tangle]

defenetly u when its 10c

or hotter

[buoyant solstice]

It's 26c in my office rn

[keen eagle]

wew, it's only 20c outside where i am

[jolly tangle]

🚑

are yu getting the 80 kuru?

since were in this channel

[low token]

26c thats too high

Run ac to 19

[keen eagle]

no i just saw a discussion here and decided to talk

i'll probably just be getting l45 switches for my 60he since i really want lighter ones

yeah sure osu players can do 240bpm deathstream, but imagine trying to play >400bpm stream patterns on osu!mania
it's the sorta stuff that really REALLY favors lighter switches lol, and iirc i have l60

[jolly tangle]

lekker v2 switches should release thid month so I would wait for that update

[keen eagle]

ah ok

[jolly tangle]

(theyre good trust me bro)

[lofty gyro]

Hey, saw that the 80he preorder came with lekker 45 v2s, but will the keyboard itself have those switches already mounted on it? Or is it something I have to manually add?

[keen eagle]

is this the v2 you're talking about or is it different?

ah ok

i'll stop talking here btw i know i'm not in the right channel

[wispy trellis]

if you order premounted and not barebone it comes with 60 not the 45 but anyway to make fully use of HE 60 is imho better..

[jolly tangle]

its not yet out. thats just 70 pieces

[keen eagle]

i've been BAMBOOZLED

--dw i'm not even close to getting them yet

[lofty gyro]

I haven’t experienced 60s but just from the sound of it, I’d personally prefer 45s
Used to red switches on gateron / cherry keyboards

[jolly tangle]

bamboozles for the foozles

[wispy trellis]

someone has a tip for a cheap but good coil cable for this style? startet searching one they are right now starting with 20€ on ali but im not sure about color ...

[low token]

20€ is cheap

[wispy trellis]

well that's exactly what i wrote 😉

can pay more if its looking grat with the style but prever cheaper options ist just a addon

[low token]

You can try cable mod configurator

[jade widget]

Cablemod the best cheap cable imo

[wispy trellis]

weird question but does android on say an S20 Ultra, support 8k polling over USB?

[low token]

Ask samsung support

They gonna know

[valid comet]

just figured I would try my luck here

well if anyone kniws tag me!

[low token]

So propably there is only 1k max

Because who is crazy to use 8k pooling rate on phone

[jade widget]

From my brief research it looks like it's tied to the refresh rate of th screen

So 60hz screen is 60hz polling on mouse 120hz screen 120hz polling

[valid comet]

im prrtty sure thats the screen polling (sample rate)

not usb

[shell flower]

Hello fellow piss gang members

[viral sleet]

Why the role says 80HE but only 77.5%

[jade widget]

The 80he is not a 80% board it's technically a 77.5%

[potent sedge]

interesting

[dark cargo]

thanks for the update

[warm karma]

i already ordered module with black plastic case, can i change it to frost case?

So you are basically saying that we all should go back to CRT monitors for the most direct gaming response possible? Well Oled is an option too 😉

Here’s a reference of Pixel response time. So back to the HiFi reference. You can buy an expensive speaker but it would still sound shit if you don’t have room treatment. https://youtu.be/Oy3cKwq6vEw?si=pakw0pWCcZk2zGFC

[hearty sky]

Is there any official distributions of Wooting ?

[umbral locust]

nope

[hearty sky]

What about rotobox ?

In PH

[umbral locust]

not an autherized distributer

they have none

They don't do B2B

[buoyant solstice]

Actually.

Rotobox for PH
Dr. Mouse for Brazil and zFrontier for China are three partners we have.

[umbral locust]

Really? Interesting.

I've read you haven't had any yet, perhaps I was mistaken.

[umbral locust]

Sorry to give false info.

[umbral locust]

Is it due to import related reasons or due to shipping constraints?

[midnight iron]

i'd imagine brazil is needed because trying to buy anything in brazil from eu is nightmare for taxes and delivery times

[buoyant solstice]

Mostly due to import issues, yes.

[hearty sky]

Distribution feels great .. will it cancel people to pay inport tax ?

You sure can, on all Wooting keyboards

So technically it's a laptop

[nova nexus]

All I want for Christmas is to be able to press the FN button on my 60HE and have that change the layers on my UwU 🥺

[sage wing]

I think you are in a little better position than us to make that happen 😅 but the idea of having wootility extend to multiple smart devices to then control them from it, that's a nice idea

Of course should be Wooting products, but then on the UWU, maybe future extension products, like a media controller, numpad etc

It's just an idea 🙃 not that I would like all of that, not at all

[rare mesa]

hey guys, I was wondering is the rapid trigger also implemented in the arrow keys?

[hidden crest]

you chose which keys to have it implemented on

so yes they could have it if you wanted them to

[rare mesa]

I'm asking because the steelseries pro doesn't support the arrow keys even though you can customise and enable it in the rest

[sage wing]

Rapid trigger something related to the PCB that is controlling everything, and you them decide in wootility what keys will have it enabled or not. So all the keys can have it, but you decide which one will have it enabled

[sage wing]

Ho
That's very shit, why???

[hidden crest]

with wooting you will be able to enable it on all keys

[rare mesa]

@sage wing I have no damn clue it actually triggers me lol

[hidden crest]

yeah thats very odd lmao

[low token]

Because f row and arrows have cherry mx red

[hidden crest]

oh there you go

[sage wing]

Ok so my response above is useless if the steel series doesn't have it even though it's the same PCB, wtf is that. Lazy people I guess

[hidden crest]

its because those switches arent hall effect switches

[sage wing]

Luckily you are here now and burn that shit, get a nice wooting

[rare mesa]

yeah I'll send this back

[sage wing]

Saving costs

[hidden crest]

burn that shit 😂

[low token]

@rare mesa can you get refund?

[sage wing]

Maybe try that first

[rare mesa]

yes, I broke my keyboard yesterday and got this one through amazon, I'll be able to get a refund 99%

If not, burn it. Don't even sell it, don't be a demon by reselling that priece or crap

^ that too

I went plastic on my 60he and its been great

Just get what you prefer

[fallen epoch]

Defense weapon, cant forget that

[hidden crest]

😂

[rare mesa]

did you go with L60 or L45?

[sage wing]

If it would only be me, I would get the raw zinc, if I haven't already ordered a 60he grey alumaze xD

[sage wing]

I don't actually know, seems quite thin, the aluminum definitely

[hidden crest]

what switch did you use in the past?

[sage wing]

L60

[low token]

45 only has lighter spring

[sage wing]

It is 60g (actually more around 57g according to some peoples measurements) bottomed out

[rare mesa]

Baby Kangaroo from Nuphy

[hidden crest]

if you are use to lighter springs go 45 if you dont care 60s

[sage wing]

Actuation force is like 45 if I remember

[tight cypress]

With 80HE you get both types of switches regardless, so you can try both

[sage wing]

Just check on their website

[hidden crest]

oh yeah thats true you do get both

[sage wing]

True

[low token]

If you order while founders campaign

[sage wing]

Which one do you wanna get? 60 or 80?

[rare mesa]

80

[sage wing]

Ok, then I hope you will survive the wait

[rare mesa]

how much better is this from the base keycaps?

[red heart]

Itll be more durable

[kind wasp]

u are getting scammed xD

[rare mesa]

no difference?

[red heart]

There is a difference

[rare mesa]

I think there is a bug in the selection for UK layouts regaridng the keycaps, if you select uk layout it doesn't let you select the dye-sub pbt one

[buoyant solstice]

The Take Control set? It's ANSI only

[valid comet]

i think its actually top is 30, bottom out is 45

L60s are 45 top and 60 bot

[sage wing]

It's what I was saying, for the L60

[sage wing]

If only it would be a bug for Iso FR Layout 😭😭😭

[valid comet]

oh right

[rare mesa]

let's go

[sage wing]

Do you really want the coiled cable for looks? Because if its for performance there are no difference

[rare mesa]

yeah just looks :D

[sage wing]

Ok, so yeah enjoy ut

And if I may ask why white? Why don't I see anyone liking the raw zinc too 😭 I'm alone or what

[buoyant solstice]

Raw zinc is very popular 🙂

But ultimately can't beat a standard look.

[rare mesa]

I only see black and white as choiice

[midnight iron]

the church of the raw zinc 80he does not approve this message

[sage wing]

That's what I thought, but every order discussed here seem to be everything but raw, maybe I just missed them but you must know from the ordering side from the inside, can you give a popularity rating from the top of your head?

[buoyant solstice]

In terms of popularity of course. I like the raw look

[midnight iron]

every day we walk further from the light of the raw 80he zinc alloy

[sage wing]

You need to chose the module

[midnight iron]

stray back onto the path of righteousness

[sage wing]

Then you have even more choices

[tight cliff]

Raw Gang

[fallen epoch]

raw FTW

[lime falcon]

this looks so good... wish there was white plastic case

mmm nah I think white is better

[lime falcon]

white is goated

[dense ridge]

Mansen do u like my avatar =)?

[rare mesa]

This is my nuphy

[valid comet]

pretty sure most people are getting the coiled cable because they want the right amount of power for the board, while still having a cool cable I suppose

thats why I got the stealth coiled cable

[lime falcon]

stock cable is enough

[rare mesa]

nuphy halo75

[lime falcon]

oops

[rare mesa]

tbh from that angle raw also looks good, but I cba building it myself :D

[sage wing]

Pretty sure the stock cable is the same specs wise, and I won't need it since the port is on the left already, which is useful when it's on the right

[kind fulcrum]

I also prefer raw, but indeed cba building it myself... :p

[valid comet]

yeah thats pretty much it yes

[wind tiger]

silver ano is a thing

logitech dug its grave

[tight cliff]

Yeah 🕵️

[inner frost]

question, is it worth it to wait for possibly months to get the 80he but be stuck with my semi broken (still usable) keyboard during summer OR opt for a 60 and maybe try to sell it later on ebay (or possibly fail)?

looking at the 60, it still seems to sell pretty well price wise (looking at sold listings)
but scared it might drop quite a bit in the coming months when the 80he inevitably comes

[sleek pelican]

id just get 80he and wait

[inner frost]

damn

[sleek pelican]

do what you want tho

[valid comet]

80HE and wait

[graceful shard]

80he for sure

[valid comet]

campaign is still up too

[graceful shard]

Do you guys think they will break the 7M barrier in the last 4 days?

[full moat]

does the 80he have any significant changes compared with the 60he+ (excluding obviously the layout)?

[valid comet]

no I dont think so

[nocturne night]

gasket mount and 8khz polling mainly i think

[full moat]

what does that even mean

[valid comet]

a gasket is sort of like the feel of a trampoline when you type but much stiffer

[nocturne night]

polling rate is how fast inputs are sent to your computer, most peripherals are 1000hz
and gasket mount is how the module is inserted in the case, in this case its kinda burgered between soft pads

[valid comet]

so it gives a bit of depth and pushback instead of a hard bottom out

[full moat]

thank you guys good to know

[valid comet]

no worries man

[nocturne night]

obviously there are many small differences, but both keyboards are great

[nova nexus]

If you need a new keyboard now, get a 60HE 🙂

What's that saying...? A keyboard in hand is better than two preorders in a bush, or something

[full moat]

XD

[umbral locust]

Yall think this would look good with the ghost case?

[icy cosmos]

This is not a kickstarter nor is it a charity campaign. If nothing new or revolutionary is reviled and no stretch goal is presented. There’re Zero incentives to motivate more sales.

[buoyant solstice]

There's usually always a final push towards the end.

People who have been holding off, but want the perks before it's too late.

[icy cosmos]

That’s not a push in marketing terms. People on the fence about a certain colour to make a purchase is already a customer

[buoyant solstice]

It's a spike in sales no matter how you call it.

[icy cosmos]

That’s correct

Ofc I hope that we would break all the records 🤣. Because it will ensure Wooting development on more cool stuff

[steel grove]

A nice thing would be to deliver the first and the last Wooting 80HE, in person, by the whole core team, if the 20K is reached.

[dark cargo]

Hey what cable does wooting use

[icy cosmos]

The big question is how far are we from the 60HE sales? Is 80HE closing in or outselling the 60HE?

[nova nexus]

USB-C to A on the 60HE; C to C on the 80HE

[nova nexus]

This is highly confidential information that we cannot share unfortunately

[pseudo parrot]

c to a for the two he as well, my favorite board currently

[icy cosmos]

I understand. But this proves how popular the 80% layouts is compared to the 60% at launch

[nova nexus]

It proves how much Wooting has grown, not really the difference in layout preference

[dark cargo]

Okay also about giving address for delivery when do we do that

[nova nexus]

When all the items in your order are ready to ship

https://hub.wooting.io

[dark cargo]

Oh okay thanks

[dark cargo]

What’s this

[nova nexus]

It's the place where you can access and edit your orders, connect your discord, and manage your Wooting account.

Size matters and we all know it 😆.

Do I receive a order code once I order to check it?

No.

80he uses type c to type c? And not type c to type a?

[shell monolith]

Yep also from 1080 ti to a 4080

4k gaming is so amazing

[odd briar]

1080ti was the goat

[graceful shard]

I also went from 1080 ti to 4090

1080ti was just the best one... i think a lot of people still use it

[odd briar]

there will never be another gpu like the 1080ti

it was way too good for the price, and its lifespan is easily double of all previous generations

[shell monolith]

I bought mine for 850 euro back then, asus strix version even

[odd briar]

it launched during the middle of a crypto wave and is still cheaper then modern "mid range" cards

[graceful shard]

I don't know why but i am always lucky with the palit cards... I know it's kinda "obscure", but they are just so good. Never any problems with them

[shell monolith]

I’ve bought it best timing xD 2 months later the 1080 ti was then like 1k to 1150

[odd briar]

my 1080 died around 2 years ago, i dropped nearly 1.5 on a 3080

didnt really want a new gpu, but not like i could go without

[shell monolith]

My 1080 ti still lives strong and gave it to my cousin

[rare mesa]

do you guys know why they did this? instead of normal position of arrows keys and del + end + pgdwn etc

[buoyant solstice]

Because we like it?

[graceful shard]

^

[buoyant solstice]

[odd briar]

well, they also did a survey of what we wanted and we picked that

[rare mesa]

ah ok make sense

[odd briar]

original desgin had the arrow keys aligned to the left

[shell monolith]

You will get used to it no matter what bro

[odd briar]

the 3 keys that got sacraficed arent really used all that much anyway

and you can pick which ones you give up anyway

[graceful shard]

Does anybody here know which version of USB-C is required?

[rare mesa]

Tbh I play weirdly in fps and that side of the keyboard is what I use ahah

[low token]

2.0

[rare mesa]

I'll probably hate it the first days but I'll get used to it

[graceful shard]

🫡

[odd briar]

im currently getting used to typing on a de iso membrane at work meanwhile i got a clicky ansi keyboard at home

cant wait to get my iso 80he and just take that to and from

[rare mesa]

I'm too used to ansi now, even though I'm from UK

[shell monolith]

Does any of you have experience with gmmk 2?

[odd briar]

ive switched back and forth several times, it always takes a bit to get used to, but i always do

[kind wasp]

someone has good german layout keycaps?

[odd briar]

no😢

we gotta suffer

no love for iso in the custom keycap scene

[kind wasp]

i am thinking about switching to other layouts just for the keycaps

[odd briar]

im only swithcing to iso cause of work, otherwise id def use ansi

lowkey, it was something i loved about working in the trades, i didnt have to care about what keyboard i got at home cause i wasnt using a pc at work

and now ima be taking my keyboard to work, i already lug my g pro superlight with me

[waxen sequoia]

did anyone buy the gateron switch?

[umbral locust]

Which one?

[waxen sequoia]

gateron jade switch in the "make ur selection" section

[nocturne valley]

Can't decide between the 60he and 80he 😐

[umbral locust]

Ye I have some and i bought some more lol

[dark cargo]

@nova nexus I ordered the 80he!

[plain aurora]

go to wooting hub and log in and go to profile and click refresh rewards

[low token]

19820 founders. So 1-2 more days

[umbral locust]

First batch almost full

[foggy salmon]

Go for the layout you prefer, only thing i like more is that rhe 80he is gasket mounted

[wispy trellis]

well gasket 1= gasket ; its better than nthing but it quite faar away from a keychron q1 as example; so i don't think its that big of a deal

[foggy salmon]

I looked out for a Keychron Q2, it looks so bouncy 😄 but my plan was the 60he to be my only keeb

[upbeat berry]

ngl i feel like the q1 double gasket is a gimmick

i still to this day fail to see the need for a gasket between 2 parts that clamp together mechanically

[nocturne valley]

I think I'd be fine with the 60 if it had arrow keys, I was thinking though maybe I could assign ?, Right alt, menu, and right control to arrow keys and mod tap them to make them do their normal functions?

Cause I don't use f keys very often and if I ever need to I can just fn key it

[nova nexus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei2I7wYRHlI
🙂

[foggy salmon]

I’ve got a rog azoth which was gasket mounted, but felt like screwed bc it was completely stuffed with foam

[nova nexus]

I personally just use an FN layer for my arrow keys, but the modtap option is great for some people

[wispy trellis]

that one literly has a gasket so stiff that its not even there

[foggy salmon]

Mod tap is crazy, that’s why the 60he is the best 60% for me

[foggy salmon]

Did you tried a really bouncy keeb? Is that really noticeable

[wispy trellis]

that would be q1 and yes

[upbeat berry]

really wonder what made them put in the gasket between top and bottom case other than marketing

[foggy salmon]

Damn, maybe I’ll need one more. 1x 60he 1x keychron Q whatever and ice got a mx mini 😄

[wispy trellis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXoT3bfRPOQ

[nocturne valley]

So when you wanna use ur arrow keys u just hold fn and use them? Or could you use the toggle function on it as well?

Sorry I'm learning a bunch about wooting the last couple of days and trying to make a decision before the founders campaign ends

[forest atlas]

I'm facing the same problem, I came from a TKL keyboard. I'm thinking about buying a smaller keyboard and configuring some keys. Home, end and arrows. I use the keyboard to play and work and the absence of some keys has caused some suffering. Some I put in the Stream Deck, but it's not good to use the arrows in the Stream Deck =/. I'm thinking about getting this Chinese keyboard, just to use some keys, here's the link: https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004137151195.html

If I can't send links like that, sorry, I didn't know.

[nova nexus]

When I need to use the arrow keys I hold the FN button yea

[lime aspen]

Yeah the fn arrow keys is more than sufficient for me

[odd briar]

20k strong army of 80he users about to unleash the nastiest stafes on all them cod kiddes

[foggy salmon]

you can see the bounce 😄
nice!

[wispy trellis]

that's why im stating a azoth is no gasket at all i quite expect the wooting more like the azuoth than the q1

[foggy salmon]

80he got silicone gasket not the foam ones right?

[thorny ore]

4 days left until the founder campaign

[nova nexus]

*end of the founders' campaign

[tight cypress]

20k soon

[thorny ore]

Will there be another date to pre order the wooting 80he?

[tight cypress]

You will be able to pre-order it any time

[thorny ore]

Ahh so that’s just the founder kit

[tight cypress]

Yup

[thorny ore]

When will it be released to the public?

[tight cypress]

Late July/Early August or thereabouts

[thorny ore]

It drops in August for the pre orders

[tight cypress]

Yup, next batch should be somewhere in September I believe

[thorny ore]

After the founders campaign there’s no point in pre ordering? Since it will be out to the public too?

[tight cypress]

How come? The only difference between Founders' campaign and regular pre-order are Founders' perks

[low token]

It will be worth. Just no free switch pack

[pseudo parrot]

the earlier you order the earlier you will recieve the board, batches generally sell out pretty quick so idk if its worth to wait, but of course this is up to you

im just curious about one of the upcoming batches, apparently its are named after whale species but which one

[thorny ore]

Yeah but if you preorder now you’ll have to wait until September where another person can pre order months ahead and you would get it on the same date

[thorny ore]

Ah ok

[pseudo parrot]

theres x amount of boards in each batch, once it sells out you will be allocated to the one after

[thorny ore]

When’s the latest date when you can pre order

[tight cypress]

A day before release I guess

You can order it... whenever you like
Just that if you do it now, you also get Founders' perks

[pseudo parrot]

about 4 days left of the campaign

[nova nexus]

Had to be various marine mammals that have discrete names in Dutch and English

[pseudo parrot]

aw i love belugas, this is so nice 😁

[red heart]

orca and killer whale

[thorny ore]

So there is no difference if you buy it in 5 days or 2 months possibly get the batch 2 days before making it not that worth it

But it is worth if u buy it now for the kit?

[red heart]

you get an extra set of switches so you can try both

up to you really if that is important to you in any way

[pseudo parrot]

if you order within these four days you can get the founders perks, thats the only difference between ordering now and after the campaign ends

[nova nexus]

You don't get the cool yellow Discord role if you don't preorder during the campaign

Obv the most critical perk

[pseudo parrot]

yea as a bonus you get a board with your role

[red heart]

honestly i should get an extra role for owning a wooting one even tho i didnt back it

[odd briar]

dutch is such a wonderful language

Alsjeblieft means please

i love my neighbors to the west

[thorny ore]

5+ months for a keyboard hypothetically there could be a better keyboard that comes out by that time

[pseudo parrot]

netherlands is awesome, i loved my summer vacation down there

[odd briar]

been going there once a year the last 3 years

their transport network is insane. i love it

[pseudo parrot]

i was at a resturant and had to pay in cash, didnt have any cash on me so i rushed to find an atm, got lost and came back an hour late to the resturant to pay lol

[tight cypress]

Dunno about that
Logitech doesn't know what they're doing with new PRO X 60
And SteelSeries is too poor to add magnetic switches for arrows for Apex Pro TKL, so...

[pseudo parrot]

awesome biking infrastructure though, i enjoyed it

[odd briar]

i know i should be greatful to have trains here in germany, but on the best days our most on time trains are still running more delayed then the worst delays ive experienced in the netherlands

[lime aspen]

Yeah wootings dominance ain't going away any time soon

Logitech doesn't seem to know what people actually want and steel series is well... Steel series

[pseudo parrot]

you can cancel your order anytime before it ships / is at the warehouse i think? without issue by the way. up to you though

[lime aspen]

And we don't need to talk about razer... They aren't doing anything good either lol

[odd briar]

the people there are wondeful

[lime aspen]

They care more about their mice

[odd briar]

and i love their police, they actually come across as genuine people who care

[pseudo parrot]

very kind people, i have no complaints

[tight cypress]

As long as you don't run Synapse, Razer's mice are really nice

[odd briar]

not them laser mice tho

they were using laser sensors for way too long

[lime aspen]

And get lucky with QC

[odd briar]

razer, qc 🤣

[lime aspen]

Hardware wise razer has great mice

[odd briar]

got any more bangers for me. cause thats a joke if ive ever heard one

[lime aspen]

Everything else is kinda shite

[odd briar]

i wouldnt pick razer over logitech any day of the week

[lime aspen]

Razers QC makes finalmouse look half decent

[odd briar]

i wouldnt mind wasting the money to have a mouse that weighs half that of my current

tho id miss the powerplay mat, have not once plugged my mouse in, nor has the battery ever died on me

[pseudo parrot]

im actually planning to go up in weight for the next mouse, from superlight to g502 😂

[lime aspen]

Id love a mouse that's almost half the weight of my current, however I will not give finalmeme my money

[odd briar]

i made a diy xl powerplay mat with some corkboard, thin cardboard, and a artisian L mousepad

[odd briar]

for me its the charging thats keeping me with logi

[rare mesa]

@lime aspen get pulsar x2h

[odd briar]

powerplay was the best thing to ever grace the mouse scene

[lime aspen]

That's the same weight as my current mouse

[rare mesa]

size 1?

[pseudo parrot]

i wonder if powerplay causes any issues with wooting boards

[odd briar]

I doubt it would

[umbral locust]

what tool is this?

[odd briar]

It's just a mouse pad with wireless charging

[lime aspen]

Eloshapes website

[pseudo parrot]

the coils can cause emi but im not sure if they're big enough to do that

[odd briar]

It's one massive coil

[pseudo parrot]

aha

[odd briar]

And even if it does, I'll just turn down the Hz on the kb

[thorny ore]

How good is the free switch pack that comes with the campaign kit? Will you be able to buy it separately if u don’t get the campaign kit?

[lime aspen]

You can buy it separately later yeah

[odd briar]

I'm not nearly good enough to benefit from 8000hz vs even 500

[umbral locust]

ty

[pseudo parrot]

i believe i read about someone here not being able to use their 2he next to a powerplay, but its been so long i cant remember exactly

[umbral locust]

Yes

[thorny ore]

What’s unique in the campaign kit then?

[lime falcon]

they are updated version of current lekkers, so i guess theyre good

[odd briar]

I ordered the zinc casing

[lime falcon]

but they wont be good enough for me until closed bottom lekkers

[odd briar]

Might possibly stop any issues

[pseudo parrot]

sweet me too, which color did you get?

[lime falcon]

dude white zinc looks so sick

[pseudo parrot]

yea thats what i got

[odd briar]

Was torn between raw and black but ended up going for black

[lime falcon]

cant stop looking at it

[umbral locust]

the fact that you get a free pack of switches with a purchase of any pack of switches

[pseudo parrot]

nice black zinc looks good

[lime falcon]

asking for white plastic case day #25

[odd briar]

I'm super hyped about the included carrying case, low-key high-key was wut pulled me in vs the plastic case

[lime falcon]

You get 90pc L45 v2 for free and also discord role 😎

[pseudo parrot]

only reason i cancelled my frost pcr order was because i didnt like the translucent case, just wanted a pure white one

[thorny ore]

But within 5 months I’m sure u can save up for as many switches u want

[odd briar]

Gonna be nice having my own keyboard and mouse at work vs the shitty Microsoft membrane keyboard and brick mouse

[umbral locust]

then do that?

[lime falcon]

we love free stuff

if you want to buy in 5 months do it

[odd briar]

Free stuff is always good

[umbral locust]

You also get a discord role and a free case for the zinc, and your name on the website. Personbally? Idgaf about any of that, I just want my keyboard asap.

[odd briar]

Even if it's more expensive😂

[lime falcon]

lmao, same

but switch pack is nice.

doubt i will use it tho

[odd briar]

Did some fantabulous boy math, more expensive + free = cheaper then less expansion + nothing

[pseudo parrot]

i will so be swapping the l45s in the uwu with l45v2

[lime falcon]

plan to have full jade 80he

[odd briar]

I might grab the geon raptor switches if I don't like the 45 or 60

[lime falcon]

Please dont

thats waste of money

[odd briar]

Why?

[pseudo parrot]

i heard the magnets on those are too strong

[lime falcon]

because they are not good enough

better grab jades

[pseudo parrot]

maybe ks20u, people say they are good

[frozen flint]

lol full jade case with jade switches and jade keycaps

[thorny ore]

How much u reckon people are gonna resell them for?

[lime falcon]

real

[frozen flint]

full jade would actually look so nice

[lime falcon]

billions

[frozen flint]

resell what?

[jade widget]

Jade would look nice if you had a transparent case to be able to see the switches

[frozen flint]

i want my keyboard too XD iv been using the same eh razor keyboard for the past like 10 years it feels

[lime falcon]

10?

damn

[umbral locust]

Look at 60he prices on ebay vs wooting

Same percentage markup for 80he, maybe more because its the new hotness

[frozen flint]

yeah my whole setup was like 10 years old till i had to replace my old pc

[lime falcon]

definitely will be more

[foggy sluice]

That price is the final price or just for founders?

[tight cypress]

Final price

[quaint seal]

Quick question - does the founders campaign have an order limit or will I be able to order anytime during the next four days?

[tight cypress]

No limits whatsoever

[low token]

Well it is worth because you get free switch pack

[quaint seal]

Thank you very much, am still deciding whether to go with the PCR or Zinc case and need some more time to think :D

[jade widget]

There was discussion around the zinc case price being increased later on potentially

[low token]

There was?

[tight cypress]

I just went with zinc white, it looks so nice and clean

[low token]

No frost?

[quaint seal]

Yeah it looks great, the only thing holding me back is the design on the sides, I prefer something with straight edges like the alumaze

[jade widget]

#🌟│wooting80he message

Something Calder said on livestream

[tight cypress]

Ah, I see, then I believe you'd have to go for custom case

[low token]

Well if brick80 would be created. Thats instant buy
