[quaint seal]

Thanks for the info again, I will think about it tomorrow and make decision in the next few days :)

Yep, for sure

[teal robin]

I'm excited for mine, i went with the full white zinc since I've been readapting my room to be brighter colors and less rgb/black plus i orginally wanted a 80% keyboard but i went with the 60% because thats all wooting had

🙂

[low token]

Third party cases would be created propably after keyboards are delivered

[quaint seal]

Still a gamble I guess, but if it's realistic I might go with the pcr case :D did you order the PCR 80he?

[low token]

Nah I went with zinc

[quaint seal]

okay awesome :)

[low token]

@quaint seal so wait 1-4 months after delivery of 80he and there will be propably 1 or 2 third party case

[verbal solar]

can't wait for my flexing perks

alongside thousands of people

[vernal fulcrum]

[foggy pilot]

Wouldn’t hold my breathe on that tbh. The incentive isn’t really there for case makers

[hearty sky]

I wish wooting added a white colour varient in plastic one

[jolly tangle]

youre not alone

maybe in the future just like the alumaze

[pseudo parrot]

Nice, I hope so

[hearty sky]

but have to buy again ..

if black exist.. white must be there.. it attracts more customers as well.

[digital portal]

different color options in the future like the alumaze would make sense, might just take a bit - maybe we can get some official response from the group on this. I would definitely buy a purple alumaze case for the 80HE.

[fierce lance]

.

[tiny tartan]

canceled my wooting 80 he to buy the new logitech keyboard

[cobalt inlet]

which one

[tiny tartan]

i'm trolling. there new keyboard is garbage lol pro x 60

[cobalt inlet]

yeah i was gonna say🤣

[tiny tartan]

expensive af too

[cobalt inlet]

yeah the tkl is like 200$

wooting better

[tiny tartan]

i like how there is always a comment that says "buy wooting instead" lol

[cobalt inlet]

🤣🤣

[lime aspen]

For every Logitech dick rider there's 3 more saying wooting clears/buy wooting

[tiny tartan]

true lol

[cobalt inlet]

logitech are goated when it comes to mice tho

[idle sage]

it can be argued that they are the goat of mice, which i agree with

[hard vale]

who we lying to? i had two og gpros and both had double click issue

gave up on them and switched razer viper v2 pro and have no issues and it has 8khz

[cobalt inlet]

never had any issues with mine

and i love the shape/feel/size of it

[coral marlin]

Hello chat

[forest pollen]

Used logitech for years. Can't go with anything else.

[frank pebble]

what do I do

😭

[acoustic jasper]

Dude cmon it has volume knob and KEYCONTROL

game changing

[cursive lily]

Razer broke more often for me

4-5 Razer mouse broke within like 1year but my g502 last me 2 and a half

[hard vale]

depends which razer mouse u bought

i had a viper mini and its scroll wheel was bad

[unkempt field]

19958 orders now, so close to 20k

[cursive lily]

Logitech is good for mouse

I am using Razer keyboard rn and it’s the optical reds but sometimes the keys don’t even register

But I have to deal with it until Aug

[jade widget]

There are more brands than logitech and razer

[icy cosmos]

If you’re in EU you should have 2 years warranty. So you should be able to change to a new mouse/ keyboard if they should die on you. But I failed to understand why you keep buying from a brand that keeps failing on you? I have only had great experiences with logitech warranty service. That’s why I and many corporations still buying loads of their products.

[cursive lily]

not in eu

[icy cosmos]

So why keep buying from Razer 🤔

[cursive lily]

cuz i thoughbt that it would be better

gave up after those mice broke

[icy cosmos]

Logitech got 2 years-5 years ( extended) so you can always judge a products quality by the level of warranty a company is willing to cover

[acoustic jasper]

What are you doing to them 😂

[nocturne valley]

really hope they release some new cases for the 80he after the launch, wanna make my keyboard pretty

[sage wing]

You have a mandatory 2year warranty on any electronic device from the seller normally

[icy cosmos]

What do you have in mind?

[icy cosmos]

It’s only in EU man..

[sage wing]

And then the manufacturer can add more to it if he wants, just got a replacement for my MSI motherboard

[sage wing]

Yes

[icy cosmos]

He’s not from EU

[nocturne valley]

this was somebodys posted in woostations, this was the idea i had in mind if i got a 60

[sage wing]

But I responded to the guy who said "not in eu"

[icy cosmos]

Me too

[nocturne valley]

that or just like a purple case or pink case with some keycaps to match, idk, i just think it looks really nice when the case matches the keys

[icy cosmos]

Wooting should have a showcase gallery dedicated for customs.

[sage wing]

There are already a few but should have a gallery made from good one from the wootstage tab from the server

[icy cosmos]

Bingo. Then have a 🗳️ so the community an show their love and admiration. And maybe Wooting can make stuff people would want to buy

It’s just like car modifications. The manufacturers can only do so much. But if something is widely accepted. It becomes a standard

[sage wing]

What do you mean by "wooting can make stuff people want to buy"?

They already have custom keycaps (only ANSI) and some cases, cable, wrist rest

[wary abyss]

That is the thickest USB cable I've ever seen 😲

I would buy that shit so fast if the copper inside is actually thick and it doesn't just have a thick sleeve

[ebon sluice]

it needs a matching connector though https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/167181566978555904/1221034423827562637/Screenshot_2024-03-23_205242.png?ex=662390ec&is=66111bec&hm=55bb1b75b9096e13357528ca83d174206800247218d39c040c1f6229ee91e6c0&

[icy cosmos]

You realise that 90% of the keyboard community is modding their keyboards with colourful keycaps and exotic materials. Just because you’re satisfied with the options from Wooting doesn’t mean the community. Wooting on the other hand can’t keep on making more options if they doesn’t sell. So we need a way to keep making stuff that people want to buy right

[sage wing]

90%?

All my gamer friends who own a nice keyboard don't give a shit about modding of some sort, I'm the only one who will have a different case than the base keyboard the brand was selling

[tight cypress]

I'd say maybe 20% when it come to keycaps and maybe... 2% when it comes to anything else?
And that's in keyboard communities

[sage wing]

Either I must go to the lottery right now or the 90% isn't really accurate

[icy cosmos]

Gamers are not the ones driving the keyboard community though 🤣.

[sage wing]

Yeah, this seems more realistic

[nocturne valley]

Yeah those are gamers that's not the keyboard community

Like what nice keyboards are ur friends buying

[sage wing]

By gamer I was thinking by people interested in electronic devices for PC (keyboard, mise, headsets, pc,...)

[sage wing]

They really looked into what to by etc, researching what to get, if that's not part of the keyboard community I don't know. They are interested and doing research for it. But don't care about modding

[icy cosmos]

Ok let me develop my argument. People who buy factory stock stuff has never been the driver of culture. The reason why we’ve arrived at the amount of options for keyboards is the constant pursuit of excellence. Gamers, office workers, engineers, even normal people. All who are not satisfied with what the old fashioned companies make.

[sage wing]

If the keyboard community is only those doing tape mods and self lubing switches, well you will be surprised to know that 100% of these people would be interested modding (because they are the modding community) I think there is a misunderstanding of what a community is. It's not only the extremes, like the ones modding. Simply liking it makes you part of it

[sage wing]

Well I disagree completely about not being a driver of the keyboard community

They just want a nice keyboard stock, instead of buying a bare keyboard that will be good afterwards

[icy cosmos]

You are the driver by changing the case 🤣

[sage wing]

Well yes?

[icy cosmos]

So you’re not you’re no longer like your friends that runs stock

[nocturne valley]

If u buy a car ur not part of the "car community"

Same thing going on here

[icy cosmos]

Not if you just drive to work and home

[nocturne valley]

Car community ppl mod tf out of their shit

Yeah I'm agreeing with u algot

[icy cosmos]

I don’t discriminate here. For example. Porsche owners love keeping their cars at stock because that’s what a purist wants

So you can just buy a car and be part of a community

[sage wing]

If for you car community are people modding their car, of course it's everyone then, I like cars, I really like cars, sometimes go to car events but I will 'ever mod my car

[icy cosmos]

But to drive a community, you need to do something more… you need to love your car to be able to make it better 😅

[nocturne valley]

the majority of ppl are car events mod their car

[icy cosmos]

It can be as simple as cleaning it waxing it.

Or buying collectors edition of certain car models

[sage wing]

Why? But what if the guy modding the car doesn't have any online presence? He isn't driving the community either in my opinion then, it's just a mechanic

[nocturne valley]

theres a difference between owning something a ton of people own and being an enthusiast

[icy cosmos]

He is because other people who see that car will take pictures of it and shows case it to the world

[sage wing]

I definitely don't agree, some just like a nice sleek stock car, if manufacturer options are mods, then yeah they are modded

[sage wing]

Yeah and I'm the one taking pictures etc

Same for keyboards, you don't have to mod to be part of the community

They can also just react on videos and share pictures

[icy cosmos]

That is what I am talking about at the beginning. Wooting has already decided on the options ( factory mods) for 80HE. So now to make the 80he more pretty. One have to do it yourself or we the community needs to find a way to show wooting what options we would want them to make ( if you want to buy from wooting that is)

For example Apple IPhone only releases one special Color each year. This year its Titanium. People who want to flex they got the latest version will buy that. Somehow Samsung got the same idea 🤣. How can that possibly happen. Would you buy a flagship without titanium 🤔

[sage wing]

They can show it off, but I don't think they will have tons of modding products since it's mostly a keyboard selling company, they might, I have no idea. But right now it's not really the vision I think. They want you to modd it, they give a 'ice introduction to it with lube kits, spring kits, cases etc. It's already not bad. It's not just keycaps. They have springs, and are telling you that you can change the housing of switches to mix them together (jades and Lekker's, I don't see lots of companies telling you to modify they own products with other products)

It's already not bad in my opinion, for more keycaps I would be for that too since the french iso I use is super hard to find, but the rest is fine in my opinion

[fiery dawn]

Hey, i've just watched the video from 5 days ago about the wooting 80he & he had said you can pre-order once the founders has ended but you don't have that perk. is there anything extra that comes with the board ? or is it just a special flex type thing to say you're a founder.

[sage wing]

You have products included

[buoyant solstice]

Once the campaign ends on Monday, there's no longer a free pack of switches for each customer (if you paid for a pack of switches)

[sage wing]

But just go on the website, easier to see

[ebon sluice]

I have zero desire to want to swap the 80HE case, I think Wooting nailed it but then I own several customs and the 80HE has a point of difference; especially the raw zinc which will match my dogs spiked collar. I just need to buy a dog first

[fiery dawn]

ok thanks for you reply i appreciate it 🙂

[upbeat berry]

time to hit 30k bois

[cosmic mantle]

Let's go!!

[shell monolith]

Proud to be part of the founders

[low token]

30k maybe with enough luck

[low token]

You are in 1 or 2 batch?

[shell monolith]

My delivery says late july

[low token]

So 1

[shell monolith]

Seems like good news😳😬

[cosmic mantle]

Mine says Early August

[low token]

Same

[cosmic mantle]

2nd batch?

[winged pelican]

I think it's all 1 batch

I made an order 4 mins into the launch and the estimation hasn't changed

same delivery date as the order I made a week ago

[tight cypress]

First batch is 20k
But founders counter also includes people who bought more than 2 keyboards, and which will receive their keyboards in 2nd batch

[winged pelican]

if you order more than 1 keyboard you're put into a second batch? wat

[umbral locust]

mor than 2

[tight cypress]

3 or more

[umbral locust]

wait, its 2 or more?

phew

[tight cypress]

Sorry, brainfart

[winged pelican]

still wat

[umbral locust]

oh man, i recently cancelled my order so i could redo my switches and i just noticed i got moved to the second batch. When i checked out it still said Late July so i feel bamboozeled

[gloomy canopy]

where can i get this 80he

[tight cypress]

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

[gloomy canopy]

thanks

[winged pelican]

in the video one of the founders said production batch handles 20k (units?) - there really shouldn't be a batch 1 or 2

[gloomy canopy]

if i were to use my own switches, would rapid fire still work?

[umbral locust]

Yeah it's 20k per batch

I mean they are bound to the laws of reality and fact is they can only make so much so fast

[tight cypress]

If those are switches compatible with Wooting keyboards, then yes

[gloomy canopy]

so bascially no cus my switches suck >:(

[cosmic mantle]

I'm on 1st batch hooray :D

[winged pelican]

everyone is (except for Fenix)

[cosmic mantle]

You're right hahaha

[umbral locust]

No. I'm in the second batch.

Even though i placed my initial order on like day 2, all because i wanted different switches rip

[winged pelican]

Where does it show that you're on "second batch"?

[umbral locust]

First batch is champion/Kampion

Im on burg now

You can see it in the hub

[winged pelican]

Ah I didn't know there's another batch called burg now 😄

[umbral locust]

Its brug, no idea what it means lol

[winged pelican]

fixed

[midnight iron]

they're fixing that aren't they? Since i assume you got put into 2nd batch by accident

[umbral locust]

idk, i haven't messaged them about it. But am guessing since they had to cancel my first order and I had to make a new one, I got bumped from the first batch to second.

instead of "saving my spot"

[midnight iron]

yeah you triggered their auto 'bulk buyer send to batch 2' thing most likely because you had multiple orders

there's still room in batch 1 but you gotta message them to put you back in there

[umbral locust]

I'll give them a message and see what they say

[jade widget]

is there still room? just hit 20k founders

[upbeat berry]

yes

[winged pelican]

possibly 🙂 it's 20k founders/orders but not sure if they count in cancelations etc in frontend

[winged pelican]

why is this a thing though?

[upbeat berry]

more than enough room for all the keyboard orders to come

[umbral locust]

I just shot them a message, we'll see if I can be moved lol

[midnight iron]

I assume some of the 20k orders are also in batch 2 as well because there's going to be some bulk buyers

[upbeat berry]

ye batch1 is full afaik

but batch2 got plenty room

[white creek]

80HE 💯

[umbral locust]

I feel like am order #1 in batch 2 because it shifted on me when i was checking out lol

so hopefully if any batch 1 people cancel, i can have my spot back

[winged pelican]

but logistically speaking I don't understand why "bulk orders" are in another batch (3+ kb isn't really bulk...)

[upbeat berry]

i think we made the simple decision of normally people order 1 keyboard for themselves 2 at max if its a couple.

[umbral locust]

Because there is no perfect way to prevent scalping and bulk orders

[winged pelican]

people scalp wooting kbs? 😄

[umbral locust]

go check ebay lol

[upbeat berry]

yes

[midnight iron]

a lot

wootings go for 50% markup in korea

[upbeat berry]

either way the second batch isnt too far out from the first batch

and first batch at this point is full afaik

[winged pelican]

yeah I think first batch is full no matter what

[gloomy canopy]

SHIPPING IS SO EXPENSIVE

[real stirrup]

But it’s worth it

[tight cypress]

Same with Poland
Used ones go for the same price as from Wooting, new ones go for 30~50% more
And people keep writing that it's unavailable here and has to be imported

[gloomy canopy]

THATS usd 40 >:(

[midnight iron]

welcome to asia fed ex lol

[jolly tangle]

full unless youre a streamer. then we just kick number 20k out. ( this is a joke)

[winged pelican]

joking (not joking)

[umbral locust]

What if I'm number 20k and also a streamer

[gloomy canopy]

why does it say unknown shipping estimated period for the switches though

[winged pelican]

because the system doesn't know

[gloomy canopy]

damn

[winged pelican]

🥁

[jolly tangle]

v2 switches

tba

[gloomy canopy]

are u guys getting their keycaps ?

[pseudo parrot]

Btw with this order you won’t get free switches

[umbral locust]

just so you know you won't get those free switches in your order

[upbeat berry]

it knows but due to some system limitations it cant be shown

[gloomy canopy]

wait why

[umbral locust]

nope, i have my own

[umbral locust]

Because it's buy 1 get one 1 free for switches, not free switches no matter what

[upbeat berry]

the offer for free switches is buy 1+ pack get 1 free. the configurator has some bugs with this system

we will manually fix all orders that dont adhere to the rule

[gloomy canopy]

so basically i have to add another pack of switches

[midnight iron]

yeah if you buy module and want free pack you need to choose one pack

[umbral locust]

you will likely get an influx of messages freaking out about their orders coming with no switches because i bet a lot of people thought the switches are free

[gloomy canopy]

and it needs to be the 90 pieceds pack i assume ?

[midnight iron]

well yeah otherwise you don't have enough switches lol

[upbeat berry]

it needs to be a pack from the configurator correct

[gloomy canopy]

i will get now yes?

[upbeat berry]

that would be a valid order yes

[red heart]

Do you have keycaps?

[gloomy canopy]

i have keycaps at home yes

ceramic ones but idk if i still wanna use them lol

cerakeys

[red heart]

Ok then you wont be stuck with a keyboard that doesnt have keycaps

[gloomy canopy]

honestly they kinda suck ;

[red heart]

The cerakeys look very nice on the website

[gloomy canopy]

trash keycaps ngl

[real stirrup]

so if you buy the module one you don't get free keycaps damn

[red heart]

But they dont come in iso so i cant use them anyway

[umbral locust]

ceramickeys might give you issues, particularly hthe space bar

[gloomy canopy]

yup

[red heart]

If you buy iso you also dont get free keycaps

[buoyant solstice]

If you pay for a pack of switches to match the preassembled one, you do

[red heart]

But the price of the board will be lower

[umbral locust]

I would get a pack of wooting abs keycaps its like 13 bucks

rather than deal with the headache of ceramic keycaps

[gloomy canopy]

ur right

[red heart]

I got my gmk ready to go for the 80he

[umbral locust]

wait what, i didn't notice this. Damn. missed out on free keycaps.

[buoyant solstice]

Nothing free. The prices all match up

[icy cosmos]

Yes because I want to see how good Wooting quality is compared to the one I have from glorious atm. ( I did buy a prebuild )

[umbral locust]

Wooting keycaps are really good imo. If it wasn't for my addiction to custom designs, i'd have never replaced them.

[real stirrup]

it says on my order thatt i have the abs keycaps in order, i don't remember selecting it hmmh 🤔

[buoyant solstice]

Switches are not keycaps?

[trail perch]

I've been looking for keycaps these past few days and the resonance r2 seems compelling

[kind wasp]

I have such a small amount of keycap picks because of German layout

[gloomy canopy]

if i get the prebuilt, it comes with L45 v2, and then i get another L45 v2 for free?

[buoyant solstice]

Comes with 60, you get a pack of free 45

[kind wasp]

[red heart]

I hope wooting release custom keycap sets for the 80he like the take control that were created for the 60he

[kind wasp]

I picked jade and I could choose between them

[red heart]

[kind wasp]

German layout

[umbral locust]

based

[gloomy canopy]

oh yeah

[red heart]

Yeah take control is coming in iso de soon

But its 60% only unfortunately

[kind wasp]

[red heart]

[kind wasp]

Why u do this to me

Only missing 17%

[red heart]

I mean you could use it on the 80he and just have like blanks for the rest

That could work

[kind wasp]

Would it look trash?

[red heart]

Idk it would probably be fine

[real stirrup]

i thought the prebuild comes already with switches and ISO

[red heart]

If you get a black case and black blank keycaps for the rest that doesnt come in take control

[buoyant solstice]

Okay now we're just throwing around random words.

Preassembled : L60 Switches preinstalled
Module : In parts, no switches included at all

ANSI : Black PBT Keycaps preinstalled
ISO : No keycaps included at all

[red heart]

I thought the iso comes with the glorp preinstalled or will i have to install it myself and take out the blorg

[umbral locust]

But what if I got ISO Switches to go with my L60 keycaps

[kind wasp]

How many keys do I get if I buy the L45?

[buoyant solstice]

90 switches in the packs for the 80HE

[real stirrup]

got it boss 🫡

[kind wasp]

And how many keys does the 80HE have

[buoyant solstice]

Start counting.

[lime falcon]

[kind wasp]

I think I would get more keys then there would fit in so what happens with the rest?

[buoyant solstice]

You put them back into the container?

[real stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-you-gif-8690903

[lime falcon]

what

[red heart]

256 if you suck at counting and count some switches over and over without noticing

[sonic pelican]

Use them as spares Ig

[kind wasp]

Aren’t they prebuilt?

[buoyant solstice]

Sigh...

[kind wasp]

[lime falcon]

emder wtf

[buoyant solstice]

Anything prebuilt includes only what is on the board. Separate items includes... well the contents of that item 😄

[gloomy canopy]

i cant decide if i should get the zinc alloy or just plastic casing lol

[red heart]

Mansen can i get my switches in a module too? I want the top and bottom housing to be in separate packaging and i‘d like to harvest the springs from an old mattress

[kind wasp]

I was curios

[real stirrup]

go for the zinc

[tight cypress]

Zinc alloy
White

[gloomy canopy]

fine

[umbral locust]

The ADHD special

[kind wasp]

Plastic frost

[lime falcon]

zinc white is something else if youre willing to pay that much

[umbral locust]

I got ghost plastic and zinc white

[gloomy canopy]

right, the ghost looks lowkey sick

[lime falcon]

but it looks so good

[red heart]

I went for the ghost

But i might also get a zinc case to swap

[lime falcon]

i got just black plastic, dont like ghost

[crimson abyss]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[kind wasp]

I will prbly buy the zinc later but I wanted to have a frost

[winged pelican]

are you me 😄 what color keycaps did you get

[umbral locust]

none. I have my own lol

[ebon sluice]

he has the best collection of Waifu caps, ask him

[royal meadow]

Do both the plastic and zinc case have rubber risers?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes

[nocturne valley]

Ordered my 80he tonight in white zinc alloy 😎

[icy cosmos]

Welcome to the club

[pseudo parrot]

hm now i slightly want an uwu with a white brass / zinc case

to match the 80he

[tight cypress]

I ordered pearl white spray paint for my uwu's brass bottom
3 weeks and it still hasn't arrived

[pseudo parrot]

ah hmm

[tight cypress]

Already was
Founders' campaign was moved

[upbeat berry]

yeah we moved the campaign to integrate community feedback on the design

[lime falcon]

yea those arrows looked gross

[native kraken]

Why are the "weekly" updates not available in a blog version?

[woeful mango]

does the software for wooting boot up on start like steelseries does? i want to reduce the bloatware

[violet garnet]

wooting software is just a web page if you want it to be. you can download the software like a regular app also. you can choose if you want to open the software on startup using task manager

[midnight iron]

^ basically if you don't want software on the computer you can just use the web version and never install anything

[woeful mango]

i've had so many firmware update issues with my apex pro.. i'm ready to throw it against the wall and order a wooting

[violet garnet]

lmao

about time

[buoyant solstice]

It only runs when you want to.

Please, be welcome to do so, but recycle it please then ♻️

yes, i certainly will. Plus steelseries puts overlays on games with their software, which i hate

[sage wing]

And luckily it didn't kill your keyboard, it maybe did crash your oc sometimes because it can happen but can also literally just wipe your kb

[static oracle]

If wootong ever come out with a mouse and headphones with the same web software style I’ll buy them too.

[woeful mango]

wow really? it can actually fuck up a peripheral like a kb?

[sage wing]

Hepoend for some apex pro users when updating the firmware for enabling rapid trigger

Optimum for example, he has two, one of them is just dead

[sage wing]

Mouse maybe, but headphones definitely not, it's a completely different industry

[buoyant solstice]

"kill your keyboard"

What

[sage wing]

It's like if a house making company is going towards car manufacturing

[buoyant solstice]

A software overlay isn't going to harm your PC or your hardware. What in the actual nine hells are you smoking

At worst it's going to trip anti-cheat protections for a game or crash it.

[sage wing]

After trying to update it, they just didn't turn on afterwards, the kb, for me that sounds like an assassination

[buoyant solstice]

You're mixing things up.

[sage wing]

It made peoples PC restart

Just like valorant makes mine blue screen sometimes when I'm starting it up

[buoyant solstice]

An overlay has nothing to do with "updating your hardware"
Two completely different topics.

[static oracle]

Just rebadge a decent set and have good software, I’m not fussy about gaming headphones. hell I use SS atm lol

[sage wing]

Yeah I know, I don't know how to say it, but when trying to update the apex pro thing to enable Rapidtrigger etc and them enabling it it did not work etc

[sage wing]

Then for me it won't be a Wooting headphone, they always did everything from the beginning, juste rebadging won't make it a Wooting product for me, it's just my opinion

[glad meadow]

I stopped using ss gg software, and stop buying their shit. Just changed my aerox 3 for a beastx and i will buy an audeze maxwell to replace my arctis 7.

[static oracle]

Yeh I won’t be buying again. The software is just so damn awful

[verbal oyster]

Imagine having to use software for headphones smh

[glad meadow]

The engine 3 worked really well, not perfect but was good. But im just tired of adware and bloatware.

[sage wing]

Ho yeah, best choice you can do for a Bluetooth headphones (don't have this BT sound, they really sound like wired ones), and for gaming it's so good and the mic from what I heard isn't bad. The Maxwell I mean

But if you have gigantic ears or are sensitive to heavily headphones then maybe I can get uncomfortable at the beginning, I didn't have any issues and was instantly rocking it like 10h a day for a whole week (in one single charge too btw 😂😂😂it's just ridiculous to this point the battery)

My best buy in years really, with my blue light glasses

[glad meadow]

I was thinking between the Beyerdynamic MMX200 or the Maxwell, but the battery life is the double and sound/mic quality seems better for just 50$ extra, so a no brainer

[spark hound]

i like my mmx200s

[drowsy lynx]

Maxwell’s aren’t very comfortable for longer sessions. That’s something to keep in mind

[glad meadow]

Yeah, the mmx200 looks really cool, and on my setup could look really nice

[spark hound]

mmx200 can also get a bit hot. but maybe simply fixed by using the other beyerdynamic earpads

[glad meadow]

That's my principal concern, they are like 150gr heavier than the mmx200. I think that i can deal with it. Other reason for me to choose the Maxwell is the battery replacement, seems pretty straight forward to do. No solder required

[silk pagoda]

Is the mmx200 good because I've heard that most beyerdynamic are meh in term of sound ?

[glad meadow]

The earpad change is required in both cases, i really liked arctis earpads, really comfortable

[native kraken]

All gaming headsets are a scam. Wired headphones + seperate mic will always be better and cheaper.

[drowsy lynx]

Yeah for a bluetooth, the Maxwell is king if you can deal with the weight. I’m using a Beyerdynamiv Tygr with a mod mic and it’s perfect. EQ’d it to sound more neutral and I love it.

[glad meadow]

Sure, but im not a audiophile in any sense, i just dont want to deal with cables. Wireless headphones are part of my lifestyle, just move freely and can talk with friends while moving around the house.

[spark hound]

I wanted a mic boom in from of my mouth. And no sepera5 mic on my desk

[buoyant jacinth]

Same

[nimble gazelle]

Honestly if you are willing to get a standalone mic (even something like the Antlion Modmic) I cant recommend something like the DT 990 Pro or the 900 Pro X enough

Current setup is the DT 900 Pro X with the Wave:3. Amazing combo.

But yeah cables 🤷‍♂️

[viral sleet]

Ohhhhh ty bro, really nice information

[nimble gazelle]

Lmao Wooting video dropped explaining how to get your role

[trail river]

[radiant wigeon]

What switches are people planning to try? I may get some Wuque Studio WS Dash switches to compare between the two switches that come with the pre-order.

[low token]

Wait what

[buoyant solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/@Wooting/videos

[low token]

Well giving link to video is faster

[buoyant solstice]

Teach a man to fish. Besides you already have your roles.

[hard vale]

wait u can get 80he role?

[nimble gazelle]

No sadly only the 77.5% role

The 80 is a lie!!!!

[hard vale]

nooooo

[nimble gazelle]

77.5HE sounds way better anyways

[hearty axle]

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but is this just an RGB strip or can you actually interact with it?

[buoyant solstice]

It has functionality

[hearty axle]

that's awesome

okay followup - my Two has the dedicated mode selector buttons, how do you switch modes on the 80?

nevermind, I answered my own question.

[cloud arrow]

I've wanted to change my order for Jade switches but have not yet got a response since I made the order on drop day. Im not able to cancel my order and reorder either

[tender magnet]

We don't know its functionality just yet

[slim escarp]

are lekker 60 v2 better or lekker 45 v2

[buoyant solstice]

Preference. 45's are slightly lighter to type on.

[slim escarp]

ok thanks

[buoyant solstice]

You're getting both.

[upper charm]

anyone know where we can go to claim our roles for FE?

whats new about the l60 v2?

[last python]

thats odd my 80he order doesnt pop up

[mild isle]

How long does the system take to notice I ordered? Tried my email and said it doesn’t recognize any order

[buoyant solstice]

About an hour.

[last python]

yeah same!

[mild isle]

Gotcha. Thank you!

[last python]

so ill just wait as well

[mild isle]

I got an email asking to create an account just as an FYI so it’s linked

Just gotta wait for the role

[tight loom]

Hi!

I also just made my wooting account

And linked (waiting for role now)

[nimble gazelle]

I think they said it has better tolerances. That's about it.

[prisma fjord]

good for you

[tight loom]

Boom

[idle sage]

NICE

[last python]

ye, I made my acc (didnt before) and my 60he was already linked, but my 80he ( I just ordered 5 minutes before that ) so ill wait a bit before asking anything

once the 60he delivered to my house I saw the email for the 80he 😭 I was so happy yet sad at the same time

[tight loom]

Fr ^

[pure vault]

I am a patient man

[rancid bolt]

Will we have to reserve a username to put on the site for the wooting 80he or will it be our first and last names?

[steel grove]

Username of your choise

[rancid bolt]

Nice

[silk hedge]

kinda weird the founders campaing ends in 3 days and we still havent had an official knob reveal

[rancid bolt]

knob?

[steel grove]

Have to break it to you but there may be no knob

[rancid bolt]

I don't think there is

[steel grove]

A man can dream

[silk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-gif-24395495

you joined 20 days ago, there have been leaks

[steel grove]

I'm more interested about the LED bar above the arrow keys.

[silk hedge]

blink

[pseudo parrot]

The knob project is official and you don’t need to repurchase the 80he, but we don’t know when it’s coming

[steel grove]

Where can I find this info ?

[low token]

Well propably 4-6 months after delivery of first batch there would be knob reveal for all HE keyboards

[hearty sleet]

uuh just came in here and that is one great information

[pseudo parrot]

Just go through mansens messages history search for “knob”

[mental lily]

Hi, one question just cuz I saw it on yt and wanted to know asap. After ther founders campain will the prices stay the same?

[buoyant solstice]

Shortterm, yes

[urban ice]

Hey Guys,

Can someone check my order please !

Am i missing something ?

Thanks to you 🙂

[buoyant solstice]

Prices may change longterm - And you no longer receive the free switch pack

[mental lily]

The free switch is with every order right now?

[deep forum]

just the 80he

[nocturne night]

is it true you get a travel case when ordering zinc alloy case? cant see it on the check out page

[hearty sleet]

i think not if ou get the module and the zinc case

[mental lily]

Ooh ok

[hearty sleet]

same here i heard so

[buoyant solstice]

One per customer who buys an 80HE, and pays for a pack of switches.
Preassembled includes switches, so you already paid for them. Module requires you to pay for a pack to get a free pack.

[mental lily]

Thanks!

[still galleon]

says travel case is included

[deep forum]

its not free with the 60he module, but is discounted at like 50% i think

[nocturne night]

ah yea i see

[pseudo parrot]

Yeah you get a travel case with the zinc case even if it doesn’t say so in the order

[hearty sleet]

i think and hope so

[nocturne night]

very cool

thank you wooters

[hearty sleet]

But yeah same here no travel case listed

[buoyant solstice]

Travel case doesn't appear. But is included with every zinc case.

[hearty sleet]

I wanted to say but if you check on the case itself as well

[hard rose]

just ordered my 80he, can't wait !! will be my first wooting keyboard

[prisma fjord]

good luck waiting for it a few months

anyway

[hearty sleet]

i did it on the first day because since i heard of the wooting 60he i wanted it as a "80"/75" %

i waited long enough so this bit wont hurt anymore

[low token]

Actually it is 77.5%

[hearty sleet]

i know, what i meant is that i didn't mind which kind 75 80 inbetween i wanted it

[teal axle]

Does the 80he come with the little strap that the 60he has on the side?

[hearty sleet]

it doesnt

[prisma fjord]

yeah would be weird if you would like to have 1.06 % keyboard

[kind pasture]

Old topic, but I'm in the same boat. There are very few options for the ISO ES layout, none of them PBT and backlit. So having wooting make them would be great if they are already making other ISO layouts that share most of the keycaps

[prisma fjord]

idk you guys are banned from ali or you just doesn't like to wait that much?

[kind pasture]

Ali Spanish pbt keycaps aren't backlit, I've been searching and found 1 that I like but there aren't many options and a lot aren't 100% correct

[prisma fjord]

Ik it's just not my topic about how ISO ES keycap should look like haven't seen them ever in my life so I would be scammed if i had to buy one

[kind pasture]

Big enter, ñ ç and some variations in the symbol layout

[silk hedge]

I doubt it's gonna take that long and even if we consider that time span they should have revealed it during the campaing

[hearty sleet]

on my order it says August is the estimated batch which is 4 month 😉

[silk hedge]

Im talking about a knob attachment that would release after the first 80he batch

[hearty sleet]

ooh i thought he was refering to the person saying they just ordered their first wooting (80 HE)

[elfin dock]

Why do Spanish keyboards have ç?

[kind pasture]

Good question, never used it myself

[analog rose]

Just got my wooting 60HE+ now I understand what all the hype is about. This thing is butter smooth. Got it and immediately modded it. Never going back.

[misty chasm]

Hmm

[kind pasture]

Oh shit, I just noticed the abs spanish wooting keycaps are wrong, they are missing { and }

[elfin dock]

I also want to buy keycaps for mine. Don't like the default ones.

[kind pasture]

And [ ] too oh no

[prisma fjord]

how often are you looking at your keyboard when you r typing?
I know the layout so I don't need special characters on my keycaps at all so I'm not considering buying any additional keycaps even tho wooting doesn't have it

[kind pasture]

that is also true, but I would prefer if they were correct

[elfin dock]

I often do it.

Nordic layout is a cluttered mess.

It's not specific to a language but several which is why.

[analog rose]

I never really look at it when I'm typing.

[onyx scroll]

dang

[acoustic jasper]

@buoyant solstice did you tell someone that south facing is not good on wooting pcb?

[buoyant solstice]

The opposite in fact.

I tell people that it isn't necessary in 99.9% of cases with our switches, because they've been designed to work both orientations.

[acoustic jasper]

ok i have to scold this guy then, thanks.

[buoyant solstice]

Ultimately south facing works - But you do lose most of the LED light as a consequence.

Live your dream.

[acoustic jasper]

Because there are multiple wooting videos and ive even asked some of the team about it

[plain carbon]

i got scolded

sorry i coulda sworn u said not to use south face

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/smh-prince-bling-shaking-my-head-disagreeing-gif-17059118961864956121

[plain carbon]

gg i failed u

[buoyant solstice]

The only thing you really need to be aware of is the ISO enter switch. It's rotated 90" and putting that switch north or south will almost guaranteed shatter the LED for good. Gotta do West or East accordingly so to speak.

[plain carbon]

yeah

one thing i always wondered is why not just make PCBs universal and with software turn off iso or ansi enter

maybe im backseat coding here tho

[buoyant solstice]

I believe this is down to physical limitations. Can't fit both ANSI and ISO sensors and LEDs together like you can with 3/5pin switches (because those are just holes, nothing presoldered)

[wispy trellis]

o.O in the premounted keyboard i hope that's already proper done

[plain carbon]

ahhh, but you are saying if there were no LEDs this could be a thing

maybe im just an anti rgb shill but thatd be sick

[sleek pelican]

my question is why do pcbs only have 8 directions

idk how to say

[buoyant solstice]

This is only a problem if you pop off the switch and don't put it back in correctly.

With the modules, we include a piece of paper specifically warning you 😄

[sleek pelican]

why are they always straight lines not curved

[plain carbon]

you mean the solder tracing in the pcb?

[wispy trellis]

i hope ou guys relise how many ppl ignore it and will literly think its wrongly mounted HAHA

[plain carbon]

i think this is just the most simple way to do stuff, since PCBs have more layers

[buoyant solstice]

That's on them. We don't cover user error - We do warn folks 😄

[plain carbon]

gonna northface my enter key now

[buoyant solstice]

It's not about the layers, it's about distance horizontally.

Case in point

[wispy trellis]

stick the paper under the switch of the iso enter HAHA 😛 at least than its really user problem

[buoyant solstice]

[sleek pelican]

yes

id assume its because they already have the equipment to manufacture them that way

[low token]

It is only in iso?

[buoyant solstice]

Only ISO has this quirk, because of the big, L sized enter key

[low token]

I'am talking about wrong

Or it is included with every 80he

[buoyant solstice]

Wrong? Wrong how?

[low token]

Here is shown correct and wrong. But how I remember it is possible to mount it south facing

[buoyant solstice]

I don't entirely follow.

This "issue" is on all of our keyboards. All of our keyboards are designed for north facing switches.
ISO will always have this rotated switch quirk.

[low token]

Well I know why

Because it would be easier to fit stabs?

[lilac plaza]

How janky is just using Cherry Brown switches these days?

[buoyant solstice]

You have lost me completely.

[low token]

Sorry

[dense acorn]

the 80he looks amazing, but my lekker still slaps hard
suffering from success

[low token]

Which lekker

[dense acorn]

is there more than one? 😮
the one from a few years ago, the full size lekker

[gloomy canopy]

U people are bad influence

Now I’m broke once again

[buoyant solstice]

They're referring to the "Lekker Edition", which was a sort of special edition kickstarter for the 2HE. It had a special colour scheme and keycaps. Never made again.

[dense acorn]

the free switch pack is very tempting

[kind pasture]

Ok I've found all the errors in the ISO ES ABS layout from wooting (12 keycaps are incorrect wtf), who should I ping to take a look at it?

[low token]

Green yellow and white?

[lapis galleon]

aight tysm

[lilac marten]

man i really want to see a full build with the frost case

[neon rapids]

wait why I cant see white 80he

oh nvm

[inner escarp]

Just ordered the 80HE! Do you guys have any concerns about weird LED light diffusion and like "mixing of colors" from each key's LED and the LED light bar?

I'm talking about on the PCR "Ghost" semi-translucent case.

[icy cosmos]

This is not kickstarter. No need for concerns. 20k people just showed you the confidence. But the truth is that none of our words will matter if the results isn’t as you have envisioned. So in the end it’s a risk and a leap of faith to Wooting

If anything, I got the Ghost case too so we’re in the same boat

[wispy trellis]

i don't see either

[icy cosmos]

Better to resell the keyboard 🤣

[wispy trellis]

even thzen if sold out 0 risk 😉

the risk i took is buying cherry keycaps without knowing if they might get interferences or not
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAppmiG484k

but o well there are solutions to that and im not talking about turning the switches because i want the led to shine..

[lilac marten]

i wanna see what the frost looks prebuilt before i order

[wispy trellis]

just relised frost = platic forgett what i wrote 😉 plastic is way cheaper in the first order

[ebon sluice]

You probably have more chance of being hit by lightning than keycap interference these days, and in that case it's probably a sign you'll win the lottery. If you don't get burnt to a crisp

[hexed cypress]

If you pre-ordered the module and parts do you not get the founder role? Is it only prebuilt exclusive?

[buoyant solstice]

Any 80HE purchased before Monday afternoon

[hazy helm]

so it's actually 8khz

[hexed cypress]

does it just take a while for the rewards to show up on the website, because i preordered 2 weeks ago and it still shows nothing

[hazy helm]

damn
now I wonder if that was a mistake ordering wooting 60he

[lilac marten]

cus of no white abs option they actually got me thinking to get the zinc white

there goes my food for a week

[hexed cypress]

wtf it's like someone saw this and gave them to me lol

they just showed up online after that last message

[wispy trellis]

i just saw a vid of the nuphy keyboard and one thing came to my mind.. look at the slim and nice RGB LED bar just saying..

[lilac marten]

at least i get the keyboard around my birthday

[hazy lake]

same

[worn prairie]

I cannot wait any longer !!!

[low token]

You have to

[worn prairie]

Unfortunately

[wispy sky]

i have no doubt we'll be able to turn the led bar off

either way i'm not bothered about the bleed from the bar, i ordered the ghost case too, i know what im getting into, its just the nature of a translucient case, the whole thing will have some kind of bleed from leds

what i really want is that black speckle case they orginally showed

[jolly tangle]

ofcourse you can

[red heart]

Actually you can only turn it up further, every time you try to turn it off it goes up in brightness until it‘s brighter than the sun

[wispy sky]

thats just bad design, if i try to turn the brightness down what should happen is it absorbs all of the light in the room like a black hole or something

[clear swallow]

Still trying to decide on keycaps for mine honestly

Debating on black/yellow atm

[red heart]

Yeah where do you think all that light goes 🙄

It all goes to me

[wispy sky]

only 1 person is allowed their led bar on at a time

mum said its my turn on the led bar

[chrome vector]

what mean 77.5%?

[low token]

Because actually 80he is 77.5%

[errant torrent]

a full sized keyboard is 100% in comparison
so the 80he is 77,5%

[chrome vector]

ah i see

[chrome vector]

Is it compatible with this?

[wispy sky]

yes

[inner escarp]

Yea, I mean Wooting seems to have a good track record, here's to hoping the LED "light bleed" in the translucent cases don't end up being a jumbled mess due to some oversight in design. I only got the "Ghost" case cuz I got suckered into the "Limited Edition" label 😅

[inner escarp]

True, but I actually want to use the LED bar, though I'm still not sure what the purpose of it is for.

[low token]

Yes

[red heart]

I mean worst case you get some premium keycaps that dont have shine through and you turn rgb off

[gray basin]

wait the ghost case is limited edition? I didn't even notice haha

[red heart]

It said so on the order page but i got it cause i think it looks sick

[wispy sky]

a few ideas off the top of my head: profile indicators, modifier key layers (colour coding which layers your button combo uses), actuation point visualisation

im pretty certain having the bar turned off will still have it activate when its relevent like to the ideas above

[inner escarp]

Well, I'm mainly worried about like the edges of the keyboard case being a jumbled mess, not like around each keycap. But anyway, I don't care too much about RGB so I guess I'll just deal with whatever comes.

[inner escarp]

Yea those are reasonable expectations

[red heart]

Eh it should be fine

Also tbh, setting rgb to anything other than having them all be one color at the same time is a bit of a gimmick

The rainbow flying by shit is honestly just ugly and distracring

[wispy sky]

rainbow wave is nice if theres a setting to have it go by really slowly imo

majority of the time i have it on colour cycle though

[idle sage]

i am so excited for my wooting to come cuz then i will actuallly have a "gaming" kb instead of a broken office kb

[tight loom]

hi

[verbal solar]

If I remove the "80HE Founder's Campaign Free Switch Pack" from my cart, I'll still get the other founders perks right?

[nocturne valley]

U don't want free switches?

[lime aspen]

why would you remove it?

[warped arrow]

anyone else already a part of the founders campaign but still getting cta emails to join?

[limber quail]

i am but on a different email, signed up for news on 1 acc, bought the 80HE on another

[sonic maple]

I just a quick question what’s the difference between the wooting 60He and the 80HE apart from size. Is there any new features?

[limber quail]

the lil LED bar for one

[ebon sluice]

plastic/metal case, lekker v2, internal mounting, 8k, led bar, modular shiny knob(pending) and piss yellow name

[summer dew]

Will alt case colours (i.e. Ghost ABS) be available after closing of founders campaign, or are they exclusive? I can’t seem to find it specified.

[verbal solar]

Not really no

[verbal solar]

Why would I ask them to produce and ship me something I'll never use? That's just wasteful

[tight loom]

sell them?

[ebon sluice]

pretty sure the current options will remain but without the founders' perks, such as freebie switches

[idle sage]

i will take them 🤣

[verbal solar]

I live in the middle of nowhere, it's way too much hassle to deal with that 💀

[idle sage]

personally im keeeping the extra set because if anything happens to the set it comes with i have a free replacemnt

[uneven gorge]

Is the rappy snappy feature only available in the 80?

[idle sage]

no

there will be an update for the others i think

[wide loom]

knob?? since when??

[ebon sluice]

it's been leaked for a while but no real details

[loud snow]

Knob would be sick imo

[lavish hazel]

agreed

[idle sage]

im excited to see wootings take on the knob

[dense thunder]

.

[undone steppe]

Mainly new p2w tchnology on the 80, it will be THE keyboard for years to come

[fallen epoch]

[icy cosmos]

Not sure why people are so hyped on knobs, there are several high quality keyboard dedicated for creative purposes with knobs and balls here’s an example

Hello, How to check if certain switches like the Boba U4Tx is compatible with Wooting 80HE specifically for its Hall Effect functionality?

[jade widget]

The only compatible switches are other hall effect switches such as the gateron jades or the geon raptors and even out of those only a limited amount are supported by the wooting

[fathom abyss]

Oh.... is there any url that I can see the list of supported switches by wooting?

because nobody wants a 1000€ pro device just to control volume lmao

the worthwhile ones are gateron jade, ks-20u, lekkers and geon raptors

[spark hound]

The price some knob devices go for.. You'd think they'd be in the same market

[umbral locust]

Yeah idk why knobs are so expensive, like I just need a few knobs to conrol volume of a few different apps, why does that need to be hundreds of dollars

Are there any caps lock indicator on 80he? - or is there a way to light up certain keys when caps lock is on?

You know that some custom keyboard are right up there at 1k. The reason these Fine and Coarse Adjustment Knobs cost a lots of money is because of the mechanical engineering. You can control the volume just fine with a press of the key atm.

[umbral locust]

Probably will be the same as the 60he

[icy cosmos]

I feel that most people wanting cheap knobs are just at the beginning of their “analog feeling “ journey. Kind of like how some people like a swim at the pool while others venture deep down into the ocean to discover it’s beauty.

[toxic zephyr]

the latter

[cedar skiff]

Thank you sir

[toxic zephyr]

or we just want knobs and you don't

[jade widget]

When you're enough into audio you don't need to worry about the lack of knobs

Just the lack of money in your bank account

[umbral locust]

I keep it budget. The diminishing returns are too severe with audio

[wind tiger]

And even then, as soon as you get a proper amp you have knobs

[umbral locust]

but one knob on an amp =/= multiple knobs on something like a beacn mix or stream deck +

[wind tiger]

Yea but could keyboard knobs even function as those

[umbral locust]

no, but they could function for other things.

But im happy with just one knob on a keyboard, I don't need a million ones.

[valid comet]

hi

[wind tiger]

Like?

[icy cosmos]

I want a knob, but it has to be elegant designed and of high quality. I have not seen anything that has come close to it in the custom keyboard space.

[icy cosmos]

Well said.

[wind tiger]

Whatever that even means

Keyboard knobs typically use encoders not pots if that makes the difference to you

[icy cosmos]

Right, you can’t even express your feelings. Try out the knobs on a production mixer or the Black magic pad that I posted above for reference. You have to separate between the tactical feeling when you turn the knob. And what the knob does. When I say design, I mean both the way the knob feels when turning it and the technology that is behind it. For a knob it would be resolution. How much you need to turn before it register an action, and how that action feeds back to you.

[wind tiger]

[icy cosmos]

Since we live in a digital world. You should be able to adjust it yourself your heart content

[umbral locust]

brightness

[wind tiger]

Ok, those probably are just (dampened) pots, which don't make much sense on a keyboard

Precisely because they are NOT digital

[wind tiger]

[umbral locust]

that was me just trolling lmao

Stream Deck + uses are way too numerous to list

[icy cosmos]

What do you mean?

[wind tiger]

Pots are just a variable resistor, they aren't digital

[icy cosmos]

Right, then pots is a no go 🙅‍♂️

[wind tiger]

it's funny how you make demands but got no clue what you actually want

[hoary quiver]

bruh why it says estimated august 😦 i tought it was july

[violet garnet]

late july/early august if all goes well

[icy cosmos]

I do know what I want , but I don’t demand a company to make what I want. For example. I waited 3 years for 80HE to happen. While wooting and others said the 60HE is good enough. Size matters and this campaign shows the interest compared to the 60HE. ( ofc we need to factor in that Wooting is more well known than 3years ago)

[wind tiger]

You pretend like you know sales numbers?

[spark hound]

knoooob knob knob

[glossy shore]

Does purchasing 80he Module include USBC cables, sponges, soft glue and other materials?

[wind tiger]

Considering who wooting got popular with the 60he was the better decision at that time

[spark hound]

cable yes..

why would it include a sponge?

[glossy shore]

PORON foam, for example, can make the keyboard feel more comfortable

[icy cosmos]

I think wooting did a great job at judging the market when they launched the 60HE. But you can’t deny the difference between sub 1298 founders to 20k founders atm.

[wind tiger]

Typically just used to change the sound

you can make a gasket mounting with poton, but with how the 80he works you would need a custom case and plate for that

[midnight iron]

Don’t think you can really compare 60he launch vs 80he launch just by numbers like that - wooting is in completely different position vs back then

[wind tiger]

yea the 60he sure is a big part of their current standing

[glossy shore]

It seems that we need to wait 4 months. There will be businessmen in our country making suitable accessories for 80he.

[wind tiger]

I personally don't think they would have gotten to the same position with the 80HE (not saying it is an objectively worse keyboard or layout)

[nocturne night]

80he is kinda building on the success of the 60he as everyone who saw and wanted a wooting 60he might have waited and wanted a different layout

[glossy shore]

F1-F12 is important for some games

[midnight iron]

60he got them into fps games and fps gamers tend to like 60% (not all but a lot)

So it’s hard to say really if 80he would have had same impact

[wind tiger]

especially the fortnite scene that was stuck between the one 2 mini and higher performance boards like the apex pro

[light escarp]

No cap i wanted to get the 80HE if i hadnt gotten the 60HE 😂 but i chose the 60HE cuz it won me over with the size

[wise prairie]

Can't decide between Ghost and Frost case 🥲

[light escarp]

Ghost case Boom done

[dense berry]

I think the pro scene made this popular

[wind tiger]

later on, yea

[light escarp]

It did with a lot of other streamers who uses wooting

[wise prairie]

dang! thanks for the input

[wind tiger]

but at that point the 60he was already very popular in the fortnite scene

[midnight iron]

Yeah and pros are heavy keyboard tilters which tends to skew towards 60%

[light escarp]

some people are insane to do the Full cross LOL

[icy cosmos]

No need to argue over this matter. I have stated many times it’s a journey like in HiFi or any other hobby. You get introduced by one thing, then discover the next. If wooting did not launched the 80he but a 60HE v2. The response would not have been this great. If wooting launched a full sized 3HE it wouldn’t have been this popular either. That’s fact

[midnight iron]

Coincidentally enough tenz was talking about 80he vs 60he today on stream and mentioned how he’s in the minority of pros who prefers 80%/75% over the 60%

[light escarp]

The 60HE is good as it is + No PC can get to 8KHZ for keyboards besides mouse, if you ask me the upgrade should be the switches

[wind tiger]

8khz keyboard is much less of a task tbh

not even sure how big of an impact it would be performance wise vs a 1khz keyboard

[light escarp]

Its gonna be an ATLEAST 10% increase

[icy cosmos]

Also facts

[glossy shore]

K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS 8khz

[wind tiger]

cause the amount of actual useful packages would be the same

[light escarp]

UNLESS the PC youre running has upgraded stuff and the motherboard can do a fast R and W I can be wrong in this

[icy cosmos]

Is it real 8k though 🤣

[lime aspen]

8khz 1k scan rate prob

[upbeat berry]

the performance impact of 8khz boards is more when you have multiple 8khz polled devices on 1 USB controller/hub

[wind tiger]

if that controller is 3.0 I doubt it matters much

[icy cosmos]

For god sake we are still only using USB 2.0 with the usb c in 80HE. So there’s plenty of rooms for development

[light escarp]

For computer parts yea

[upbeat berry]

in theory yes but in practice idk if they bothered to actually implement it well enough to the spec as 8khz is still sort of new

[icy cosmos]

Or is it USB 3.0 @upbeat berry

[upbeat berry]

well the next step would be interrupt based usb3 comms.

[upbeat berry]

nay usb2 or usb1.1 depending on interface/speed

[icy cosmos]

I will be onboard for that journey

[light escarp]

We all will

[upbeat berry]

thats... not saying anything lol

so its 1khz polled over wireless and 8khz over wire

doesnt mention anything about internal key scanrate

[lime aspen]

Probably 1k or less

[lime aspen]

Id assume at least 1k right?

[lime falcon]

i can make a keyboard and call it 8k

[icy cosmos]

Just look at Playstation 5. It got 8k on the box. But no one is bashing them for not delivering on it.

[cedar hound]

At least its technically capable of 8k

[fallow spire]

If it’s traditional switch, technically only on first press. Debounce is required.

Otherwise, technically only possible if they also designed the scanning method for it. Can’t always make a change there that is only software

[cedar hound]

I was talking about the PS5 in comparison to the keyboard, so yeah I agree

[atomic brook]

The item at the bottom just got added into my order, is this a bug?

[spark hound]

Hm weird. My name brother

[atomic brook]

lmao [e-mail]

[buoyant solstice]

No. It is the bundle item for combining the lube and toolkit with a discount.

[atomic brook]

so just a duplicate?

[dense ridge]

will we see weekly update video today =)? or no info yet?

[shell monolith]

I remember on the xbox series X it said 4k 120fps on the box and I laughed my ass off😂

[barren rampart]

Just ordered the 80he in the zinc alloy case with white key caps, already have the 60he+. I think I’m starting an addiction… I can’t even afford this fr lol

[delicate dagger]

perhaps you should consider selling the one you prefer less later on

[barren rampart]

that’s a good choice tbh. I think I will do that

[icy cosmos]

Don´t worry Wooting only release new product every 3 years. Plentiful of time to save up until next drop

[vernal fulcrum]

[neat wind]

Hello everyone
As of today, we have 21k 80HE already ordered. Do you guys think Wooting will be able to mass-produce all the keyboards by mid-July? Not only that, but they will also need to ship all of them.
I'm starting to wonder about this. I would consider myself lucky if I receive the keyboard before Christmas.

[winged crypt]

I was wondering if the plastic case could be available in opaque white and not that transparent like

[tight cypress]

I wouldn't worry about that
They're scaling operations pretty well

[tight cypress]

Maybe in the future, if there will be enough people interested

[midnight iron]

they've been shipping a metric ton of 60he already

[tight cypress]

And they still keep selling out

[winged crypt]

Thx for responding, another thing that I was wondering was, what if I want to buy a case for the 80he, are there sites or shops that sells case?

[icy cosmos]

The only thing that can delay the delivery is the shipping. Unless we´re going into WW3 we´re good. I keep bashing about it. But this is not a kickstarter nor is it a indigogo campaign

[tight cypress]

Currently no, but there may be 3rd party cases in the future though, as Wooting does share their design files for everyone to use

[winged crypt]

Ty very much 🙏

[rich plinth]

Is the travel case always in each order with a zinc alloy case? 🧐

[upbeat berry]

yes

its part of the alloy case item itself

[rich plinth]

Is it better to lube the switches and stabilzers yourself or is the factory lubing that good that it isn’t necessary? BadSeed Tech said this but I‘m not sure. I‘m still new in this hobby. 😅

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/preference-glarses-mx-brown-cherry-mx-brown-keyboard-gif-21044520

[rich plinth]

That doesn’t help me either 😅

[buoyant solstice]

No one can answer that question for you. They either feel good when you have it in hand, or they do not.

[ebon sluice]

my Wooting 77.5% came with a time capsule - pretty sweet innit

[upbeat berry]

if only it was a wooting

[ebon sluice]

[zealous oak]

That box is cool af

[fallen epoch]

Id eat it

[mortal crag]

I have purchased Wooting 80HE now, will you give me some discount codes?

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-6533142189269812111

[jade widget]

I feel like if you have to ask it's probably not going to bother you keeping them stock 😂

Stock lubing is more than adequate

[mortal crag]

No, that's not what I meant. There was a translation error.

[unkempt moss]

whats the polling rate of the 60he

[jade widget]

1k

[unkempt moss]

o wow thats a big dif

[upbeat berry]

1khz same as the internal key matrix scanrate

[unkempt moss]

1k to 8k thats a big dif right?

[elfin dock]

In terms of the number yes. In real world difference absolutely not.

[unkempt moss]

oh i see

[red heart]

Discord discount (0% off)

[icy cosmos]

If your´re a noobe in the hobby, everything new or different is good. The more time you spend fiddling with your keybord and change things up, the more you learn. In time you will develope your own preference. This hobby is all about you. You´re embaring on a journey to discovery the keybord of your life.

[rich plinth]

Isn‘t this the new product from KBDfans?🤔

[ebon sluice]

yeah shame about the price though, my $10 Casio watch would look baller inside

[kind wasp]

which switches did u pick?

[atomic brook]

?

[kind wasp]

nvmd

[elfin crow]

I know that feeling lol

[dusky bay]

Still no reply after 5 days

[buoyant solstice]

Correct. You're asking us to change an 80HE order - Which is very low on our priority list, because these are pre-orders and not as time sensitive as other tickets.

We'll process 80HE order edits as soon as we're able to.

[silver dust]

omagad

[cursive lily]

The refunds and other things probably more important lol

[last python]

.

Nice, my role updated

[sage wing]

Lol it's like the least important thing yeah, the keyboards are not in production still, ad on the other hand there are people with packages being held by customs which can be sent back etc 😂

[oblique lichen]

Yep, took 8 business days in my case to get a reply for an edit request. They were quick and easy to work with once the process started.

[sand drift]

okay

[barren shoal]

4days

[cursive lily]

Welp I guess I’m bad at guessing what’s more important lmao

Btw would be sick if they made a travel case for the 80he but include a bit of extra space for a mouse

[paper cairn]

hello

[soft bolt]

When did Wooting start imposing taxes in the United States?

[buoyant solstice]

A while ago.

The free ride is official over!

[arctic ice]

hell yeah, tax those US people

better be 24% or more aswell

[buoyant solstice]

Pretty sure it's defined by the state of delivery

[vast hornet]

i ordered mine even tho my 60he is perfectly fine i just wanted to join the club 🫣

[paper cairn]

im so exited for my 80he to come

[vast hornet]

same melvin same

[winter coral]

Is there an easy way to test the 8k? I will have a USB 3.2 switch in between as I am switching between work/personal computers. Or will the software react accordingly if it doesn't get an 8k acknowledgement?

I know, but do I find out...if I set 8k, whether 8k is also running at the end or can somehow only be sent internally at 1k?

I think the question will come up and it would be advantageous if the software could show this accordingly.

[soft bolt]

Shit.. it was tax free last month when i placed 60he

[lime falcon]

there is an app that shows polling of the keyboard, not sure if it will show 8k but i guess it will

I kinda forgot that other brands exist

[sinful marsh]

what do you think they will call it

[pseudo parrot]

Will be interesting to see if they do, because rappy snappy is patent pending

[lilac plaza]

I'm having trouble getting my 0% Discord Discount working.

[buoyant solstice]

Did you try turning it off an back on again?

[lilac plaza]

No I unplugged it and plugged it back in

[glad wagon]

submitted my order, so excited!! Ive been wanting a 75%+ from wooting since their 60he release

[lilac plaza]

is it June yet?

[glad wagon]

I was a bit late in my preorder so im only Late July

[gusty prism]

oof yeah im kinda bummed how far back it is but hopefully its worth the wair

[lilac plaza]

Oh yea I think it is July for me too

[valid comet]

and it only being half as good LOL

true but thats also because razer never used HE before

theyre still using optical lmao

[frank pebble]

My goods are lost and I won’t be refunded when I contact customer service. What should I do?

😭

[jolly tangle]

ask your creditcard provider for a refund

[frank pebble]

I can only wait for wooting to refund

[vagrant hatch]

they snatched yo money

and now hopefully yo bank can fully commission it 😂🤦

[frank pebble]

Customer service has not responded to my email for two days.

My goods were also lost on the road

😭

[vagrant hatch]

yeah just call the bank make a claim

they should send the money in a day

[frank pebble]

My bank can't refund me either

[vagrant hatch]

oh tuff

[tight cypress]

It may take a bit longer than 2 days, up to around a week, for support to respond
It's just there's a lot of tickets after 80he release...

[vagrant hatch]

who's ur provider? @frank pebble

[jolly tangle]

@tight cypress not taking a beauty sleep at this time

[tight cypress]

Woke up an hour ago
Eating now

[jolly tangle]

[tight cypress]

Today I slept at most 20 minutes anyways
2.5 hours of overtime

[frank pebble]

My visa credit card is special. I can only make purchases by charging money into it first.

So it can't refund me now

[jolly tangle]

you can sleep later time for some gaming

[frank pebble]

My credit card is no longer US based

😭

[frank pebble]

But it seems they don't work on weekends, so I have to wait until next week.

l

[vagrant hatch]

wtf

[misty chasm]

Anyone pick out keycaps and if so which ones curious to see the vibes others are going for

[wispy trellis]

Teleport set with pale yellow ascents

[pseudo parrot]

someone in wootstations has the keycaps and deskmat im looking to buy, https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1225502532428894409

[wispy trellis]

• blue white cable

[pseudo parrot]

thought about it but dont want to risk the issues with third party cables

my apple and moonlander c to c cables work but idk

[wispy trellis]

well in germany you order if it doesent work you send back don't know about your country though

and paypal is protecting quite well too

[misty chasm]

Looks cozy and nice with the light blue cable

[wispy trellis]

thanks that's my intend 🙂

[winter coral]

@buoyant solstice As the Founder Campaign will soon be over...I'm wondering, since we unfortunately still don't have any final videos/pictures of the cases... can we still change the color of the case in a few weeks? If major changes are made to the pre-orders, then changes to the delivery times are probably to be expected or not? Ty

[buoyant solstice]

Yes - You will still be able to change orders for a while still.
We will eventually reach a point where we've set in stone how much of each case etc... we're doing for each batch. So some changes may force a change to a later batch.

[winter coral]

Ty @buoyant solstice

[ancient quail]

should most people get the 80 around June correct?

[buoyant solstice]

June? haha no. Late July/August has always been the estimate for the first batch.

[ancient quail]

I meant July yeah sorry

[dense ridge]

dude, so no weekly video this week too ?

[buoyant solstice]

I refer to what Calder said in the previous one.

[dense ridge]

what he said ?

[jade widget]

That they won't be doing a video this week while they prioritize working on the 80he

[pseudo parrot]

yea thats true but i just dont want to bother with the import duties :p

maybe ill get one, no clue

[wind tiger]

Actually with customized goods (like custom cables) they can legally deny returns

[pseudo parrot]

same here actually i totally forgot about that

[elfin crow]

https://youtu.be/cqSAnsX7QgA listen to the first 40 seconds

[undone wharf]

Hey will the frost be like the wormier k87 or n

[idle sage]

i dont think so but maybe idk

[jade widget]

This is a prototype version of the frost

[undone wharf]

No picture yet with the rgb right

[jade widget]

That board looks like it has rgb built into the board I doubt the frost would be as bright as that

[clever depot]

ngl this looks clean

[lucid lake]

Hey could anyone clarify the main pros/cons of the zinc vs the plastic casing?

Im having trouble making a decision lol so any opinions on what you guys like would be appreciated

[nimble gazelle]

The simple comparison would be the Zinc will be heavier and more durable (Should sound better, but that is preference)

The plastic will be lighter, less durable, and cheaper

[lucid lake]

I see, so then there wouldn't be too much of an impact on acoustics or typing experience since thats mostly up to the keycaps and switches right?

[wispy trellis]

actually i like the ampend sound of plastic the hardcases always gibve it a clean lout crispyer sound wich i don't like

[nimble gazelle]

Yeah exactly, the sound debate is subjective. And no the case does play a decent role in sound. At least in my experience.

Also the Zinc case is gonna be HEAVY

I think they said 4kg after everything is installed?

[lucid lake]

oh thats

more than i thought lmao

[tight cliff]

Not 4kg

[nimble gazelle]

Maybe im trolling, it was pretty heavy

Yeah so just over 2kg

Lol as I was typing, I was like I think I'm wrong, let's put a disclaimer on that

[wispy trellis]

it just feels good whilke typing not worth the money if your not sure about it simply because you can always buy it later for almost the same price 10$ more
