[kindred cedar]

ive found 60% secondary function button (fn2) fine

[opaque remnant]

I just don’t like pressing fn to use keys on a keyboard

Personal preference honestly, but that’s why I’m excited for the 80he

[kindred cedar]

sometimes it takes wacky 3-key combos to do stuff but its coool

[opaque remnant]

Putting in a cheat code to pause my music

[foggy salmon]

Nice, i see ugreen got a usb-c switch, usb c can deliver 15W which is more than 5V 2A = 10W
but 55€ is hefty 😄

[desert quest]

Random question, do you like black zinc + black keycaps or white zinc + white keycaps more?

[rocky fjord]

black

[dense ridge]

will there this week be 80he update video?

[buoyant solstice]

This or next.

[crystal locust]

will we ever get an update about what the LED bar will actually do or is it just eyecandy

[lapis galleon]

iirc they're working on an update that will go into more detail about the LED bar

[spark hound]

Don't expect miracles.. My guess is Just some interactive effects.

[crystal locust]

Volume control would be amazing but heavily doubt it

[crystal locust]

Ye I’m pretty sure it was mentioned in one of the videos yeah

[hoary quiver]

maybe they will put a.i into the keyboard and led bar will indicate players hp

[lapis galleon]

you dont really need ai, a good amount of games already have RGB integration for this

[hoary quiver]

useless as it sounds

[pseudo parrot]

This is all I know, maybe update comes with more info #🌟│wooting80he message

[woven reef]

Just pre ordered the 90he

[buoyant solstice]

Mr. Future man right here

[woven reef]

In zink alloy

[buoyant solstice]

Tell me future man. What are next week's bingo numbers?

[woven reef]

[umbral locust]

nicenice

[woven reef]

Tbh I wish if wooting did a 75%

And not an 80

[pseudo parrot]

i mean close enough its 77.5%

[woven reef]

Ye ik but 75% keyboards are more compact

[pseudo parrot]

i think 80he is just slightly bigger than 60he but fairs its preference

[jade widget]

It's about 6% bigger than a standard 75% from my quick math

[limber lava]

to be honest, imagine a carbon fiber gaming keyboard (the case and the keys are carbon fiber basically)

[soft quarry]

Who is getting the tarik version ulx

[silent lava]

what do you guys think is better for programming and gaming, 60he+ or 80he 🙂

[worthy carbon]

Depends on how you program

[tight cypress]

I'd say for programming I'd want 80HE, arrows and nav keys are life savers, and you can bind useful stuff under F-keys too

[pseudo parrot]

i very much agree with this, makes navigating through code easier imo. function row and nav cluster is also great

[silent lava]

rigth, i pre ordered it but i had to cancel cause they charged me 49 euros in shipping, i will order it again, thanks for the opinions

[hoary quiver]

~200€ for a mouse with such bad qc? they need to fix quality at first

[umbral locust]

It shows you the shipping cost before you pay lol

[silent lava]

yep but the thing is that if i try to order the same stuff they only charge me 24 euros, but they charged me 49 i dont know why, it was a mistake sadly

[cosmic needle]

did you order the zinc one?

maybe its because of the extra weight from the zinc frame, travel case and free switches

[silent lava]

if i try to order the zinc one it cost 24 also, it was a bug probably, i thought that 49 euros was the normal shipping price, but then i saw it wasnt

[cosmic needle]

i see

but maybe you should hit up the support, so u might get the free switches back

if you order it again u might not get them because founders campaign is over

it depends on which batch u are

i have to wait till september :v

[silent lava]

i dont care about them to be honest, it was great to get them but i will wait for my refund now and get the zinc one hehe

[cosmic needle]

lets go

[icy cosmos]

I have seen a lots badly made carbon / forged carbon keyboard case and keycaps. I guess it is just a matter of time before people will get it right

You can 3D print Titanium now. So I would say it’s a one ☝️ up in material.

[silent lava]

do you think zinc alloy is worth? talking about sound like the sound test of the pcr one

[cosmic needle]

We don’t know about the sound of the zinc one yet, but I also ordered the black zinc 😎

[silent lava]

i will too then i trust your confidence 😎

[soft quarry]

what do you use

[hoary quiver]

ive got sora 4k and op1 8k

[exotic wolf]

Hey guys quick question? Is it worth waiting for 80he or should I go with 60he+

[loud pier]

Calder might drop how zinc one sounds like in new video soon hopefully

@exotic wolf that's entirely depends on how often do you use navigation cluster

[exotic wolf]

What does navigation cluster mean idk what does that mean sorry?

[loud pier]

ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdown/arrowkeys

• three keys above those that you probably never use

liek print sc scrolllock and pause i think

[exotic wolf]

Yeah I don’t use that often so I will order 60 he+ if I like it will keep it or will return it and wait for 80He

[loud pier]

it's different when you actually have no keys

if you dont' use often, you might still able to feel it

I use del, home, end, pgup and down

i dont use them often, but it's really important that they exist when i do need them

not to mention like not having dedicated arrow key actually mess up some games like Helldivers 2

[lime aspen]

Fn layer go brrrrr

[exotic wolf]

I do programming sometimes but I will use my old keyboard if that’s necessary

[lime aspen]

It is possible to setup dedicated arrow keys on the 60he btw

[loud pier]

you can technically go around that missing key by using combined key or other wooting analog stuff, but tbh honest

but i dont want to make that kind of sacrifice

[lime aspen]

I never use my right Ctrl/shift/win key

[loud pier]

i mean, i have no intention to use second keyboard either, so

[lime aspen]

But I also don't need dedicated arrows so I don't set it up

[loud pier]

so you know what key you are missing and workaround you have to do

i think only real difference is true 8k polling wooting is pushing for 80he

i dont think you get like super benefit to have those, it's nice to have

[lime aspen]

There's 0 noticeable benefit

But it's cool that they are doing it properly

[soft quarry]

lucky for the op 8k in eu is out of stock

[loud pier]

it's mindboggling to think Pro X 60 make keyboard like that in this late of 2024

60 is not what makes wooting the best gaming keyboard

i first thought they made their own analog keyboard

i mean, why would you market anything that isn't analog as top tier product

[exotic wolf]

What pooling usually other brand keyboards are ? Idk

[loud pier]

gaming ones are generally 1k

[lime aspen]

Usually 1k but the extra 7khz doesn't make a noticeable difference

[loud pier]

but there are some higher polling rate ones out there

[lime aspen]

Most are 8k poll 1k scan though

[loud pier]

polling rate does help lot more from standard 125 or 250

it will still benefit 8k if you have them

[lime aspen]

Anything below 1k is certainly a big difference

But 1k->8k isn't meaningful

[loud pier]

mostly on rhythm games where judgement is down to ms

[lime aspen]

0.8ms difference

[loud pier]

but even then after 1k benefit does drop significantly

it's literally like diminishing return after 1k

[deft basalt]

Its already dimminshing returns after 1-2k imo

[loud pier]

yes

[lime aspen]

Past 1k there really isn't much point using it

[deft basalt]

beyond 8k is like

[lime aspen]

But it's technically there

[loud pier]

Your judgment actually suffers on game like Osu if you have 125/ 250 keyboard

i think true 8k actually does benefit them on top level

[lime aspen]

It doesn't really at all

It's a fraction of a millisecond lol..

[loud pier]

there are rhythm games that can detect that

it's important how off you are on those types of games

[tight cypress]

I wonder which ones
osu gives you 20ms window for 300 on 10* (13.3 on 10*+DT/HRDT), in other rhythm games that's usually even more
For Muse Dash it's 6 frames iirc

So... there will be no difference in scoring between 1k and 8k
Game will maybe see the difference, but in practice there will be none

[lapis galleon]

I’d rather save my battery life

[lime aspen]

Talking about 80he

[lapis galleon]

whoops forgot to look at the channel name lol

[hearty sky]

We founders of 80he now deserves a update on 80he. its time to get an update on our beloved 80he

[hoary quiver]

what will update bring?

its better they focus on keyboard itself rather than make videos

[hearty sky]

Point but still they can update us on whats happening as we all investived a good amount of money in it.

a small video or message will not effect anything as youre saying.

or maybe they can change the status

[woeful swallow]

i got pushed back 😦

[hoary quiver]

why would they change the status

if its in pre-prod then it is

[finite spade]

pretty sure they stated in the last update vid that the case samples were sent to testing

[wary adder]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-gif-25596223

LOL

[hoary quiver]

people deciding to pre-order and cant keep patient

[hearty sky]

?

[lime falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-patience-sw3-gif-21070142

[hearty sky]

who said this ? asking for a update is being impetient ?

okok

[hoary quiver]

calder said they are focusing on keyboard now and dont wanna waste time on weekly updates

[hearty sky]

ok

[hoary quiver]

what else do you need

[hearty sky]

Nothing Sir. 🙂

[low token]

@hoary quiver where animated

[severe blade]

Hey, are there any major differences in Wooting 80HE compared to 60HE+ apart from the size? I'm looking to get one, not sure what to go for. Size isn't a concern for me. I essentially want the better performing one.

[hoary quiver]

discord isnt getting my money

[hearty sky]

Nothing major just the size and sound tbh

[severe blade]

Whats the difference in sound? Also, on the website I saw packed with cutting edge features like True 8kHz polling, Rapid Trigger and our latest innovation: Rappy Snappy.. Are these available with 60HE+ as well?
( im aware of Rapid Trigger being in 60HE but havent really looked into all the specs yet )

[lucid karma]

The 8khz isn’t available with 60HE+/60HE

[west rampart]

also guys there is no difference between 1k and 8k

I mean, you can not "feel it"

so just go with whatever you feel good, dont base your choice on "8khz"

[verbal solar]

I did that

I'll feel it I promise

[west rampart]

you will not, i promise

[verbal solar]

I WILL

[west rampart]

😂

[verbal solar]

It's gonna be .1 percent better than my 60he

[viscid owl]

There is a difference of precisely 0.875ms
At 500 Hz monitor has a 2ms gap between frames, which means even with one of the fastest monitors on the market it would be hard to notice

[west rampart]

^

[verbal solar]

I have a 390hz monitor so close enough

[west rampart]

for me the only intriguing thing is the led bar

seems cool tho

[verbal solar]

Intriguing that they put it there looks kinda weird to me

[west rampart]

yea actually

[verbal solar]

But idc cool numbers make me happy

[west rampart]

ill make a 16khz keyboard just for u

[verbal solar]

8khz ✨

[jade widget]

Calder did a live sound test on stream a while ago https://youtu.be/EdBW5LY0z58?t=3259

[verbal solar]

WOOHOO

[severe blade]

Thanking you.. I'll go through the vid when I get a chance. and will loook at the comparison.

[verbal solar]

This is good to know

[west rampart]

guys, really, wtf is jis

[verbal solar]

What is what

[west rampart]

a joke about the jpan layuut

[verbal solar]

I see

[west rampart]

prolly cos they noticed japanese are addicted to keyboards

[verbal solar]

How many millionaires do you think asked a nerd for the best of everything setup and he's got a wooting

[verbal solar]

I must be part Japanese

(I actually am)

[west rampart]

lol i am

[verbal solar]

Haha

Im pretty sure I've preordered the 60 and 80 he now

I'm pretty much a shareholder in wooting 🤷‍♂️

[west rampart]

and not the uwu?

[verbal solar]

I don't play OSU enough to care for it

Its kinda cool but not really worth it to me

[west rampart]

you can actually use uwu almost as an entire keyboard

[buoyant jacinth]

[verbal solar]

Wait actually

Like by using it like a Morse code kinda thing

[west rampart]

yea

[verbal solar]

Wow thats actually cool

[west rampart]

there was some1 who did it wait

[verbal solar]

Ok

Ok so thinking of giving my 60he to my gf when I get my 80he does it work on Xbox like does the on board memory save the modes and stuff

[west rampart]

yes

[verbal solar]

Ok good

[buoyant jacinth]

Keep in mind that any configuration and setup of profiles must be done on a PC first

[west rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aKUcVTyI0k

watch it ahah

[verbal solar]

Wow that's crazy

[verbal solar]

Yeah ofc thanks

[severe blade]

Slightly off topic, so I'm considering switches. Wooting only has Gateron Jade and Lekker available, is there any other better Switches you would recommend? Also, I noticed Gateron Jade only has 3.5 mm travel, will this affect actuation or rapid trigger in any form?

[lime falcon]

There is no better option than jades for now, and actuation/rapid trigger works fine with them

[low token]

Compatible switches

But jades are the best

[severe blade]

Gotcha, thanks.

[jade widget]

Works fine but they are less accurate than lekkers #🔌│tech message

[lime falcon]

yea maybe a bit over 3.5mm, havent noticed anything off with beta firmware

Also

[severe blade]

Will that tiny margin of error affect anything major? Haven't really experimented with switches and am kinda clueless on this topic.

[lament saffron]

Check here for the latest regarding switch compatibility. Jades should be working 100% when the next firmware is released. You can use the beta firmware that was released today to get a preview of the next release - #🪛│modding_faq message

[lime falcon]

Closed bottom lekkers 🙏

[lime falcon]

No, there is no error with the beta firmware

it will be stable soon

[severe blade]

Yep. I went through the thread. Even if there is one by the time I get my 80HE it should prolly be fixed lol.

[jade widget]

If you like clacky sounding switches get the jades if you like thock probably best to stick with lekker v2s

[lime falcon]

Yea both will be great, just dont get raptors

[jade widget]

Very nice, I guess gateron doesn't give you guys a heads up when they release different switches 😅

[lament saffron]

Well they didnt with the Jades and the KS-20U's. Who knows if that will change in the future.

[wind zodiac]

80HE，What's the difference between the founder batch and others?

[lime falcon]

Founders get discord role, free 90pc L45 switches and name on website

[jade widget]

If you were a module buyer you got to pick between l45 and l60 for your free pack

[tawdry fiber]

When is first batch of 80he getting shipped out?

[jade widget]

The estimated date for the first batches is late july/early august

[wide loom]

Are they releasing an 80he update this week?

Or are they switching to biweekly or something

[unreal compass]

do we know the weight yet on the zinc alloy

[lapis galleon]

2kg

[unreal compass]

total?^^

[lapis galleon]

I think?

[unreal compass]

fair thanks ❤️

[violet garnet]

2.1kg to be precise

[fast timber]

Do you guys buy wrist rest .

[wide loom]

I did, probably not worth the price but it seems nice

[deft basalt]

I like it for gaming more than typing funny enough

Typing is fine since I type above anyway but its nice to have something to ground to

[tawny flame]

I have one but never use it. They should have a magnetic wrist rest that attaches. I move my keyboard around so much gaming the wrist rest just gets in the way

[deft basalt]

WASD while trying to hold my wrists above is annoying

[deft basalt]

Probably not for the wooting since you know

HE switches, ferromagnetic

[sullen sand]

Just get bigger hands

[hushed yew]

see u in august~

[sage elk]

Did the shipments change from july to august?

[hushed yew]

mine was always august

i probably ordered after you.

[stoic hazel]

I buy it also for my comfort

[molten timber]

❤️

[worn prairie]

Mine was always early August

[fast pike]

I’m cooked

My bday happened a day after the founders ended and I couldn’t get the stuff 😔

Not the extra stuff, still got the keyboard

[echo radish]

Mine is late July but I ordered 1 day after the drop

[karmic canyon]

late aug bought on release dont complain

[echo radish]

Are they just setting peoples order randomly?

[tight cypress]

I guess that delivery time also has an impact on when you receive your keyboard

[terse solstice]

;o

[grave jetty]

Anyone know why the shipment got pushed to early August? I was slated for late July how like if we

[buoyant solstice]

There have been no adjustment in the overall delivery times.

[icy cosmos]

I know one thing... Patience is a virtue. Do you really want to rush people and ending up with a product that has problems or bad QC? I mean late July / Early August - Is it 1 week in between or 1 day? You wont find any truth in this discord. The truth can be found in the wooting hub where your keybord order is registered. I am a time optimist, but my pre order experience tells me that a few months delay is rather common. So if you patience isn´t your virtue.. buy a 60HE+ while waiting for the 80HE.

[pastel edge]

having both is the move

[icy cosmos]

You have spoken...

[pastel edge]

🗣️

[crimson abyss]

Wow with that emoji it finally clicked why I don't like the new blue for the founder role. It's the twitter blue.

[icy cosmos]

What Twitter? It´s X ....

[molten ember]

Just curious if my country charge tax for $500 and above will i be able to dodge it if i separate my order into 2

So like $250 each order

[crimson abyss]

will always be twitter in my heart

[toxic zephyr]

clearly

[icy cosmos]

I totaly agree with you.

[molten ember]

Same courier tho

Will they send it together or separately

[toxic zephyr]

if you make two orders

you get two orders

🧠

[icy cosmos]

I don´t think the Custom will let that go.. 2 orders from the same company 250+250 = 500.. They´re not stupid.

[molten ember]

Damn thats sad

But i paid shipping twice tho

[icy cosmos]

If the order get sent out 2 seperate dates.. then you got a chance

I ordered a set of wheels and the company sent out 4 individual package to avoid customs, Epic move there.

[molten ember]

So if wooting send out 2 individual

[icy cosmos]

I know, but like I said.. Customs are people.. and they´re no charity worker..

[molten ember]

I will be good?

[icy cosmos]

If they are sent out 2 different dates.. you might have a chance.

[molten ember]

Damn oh i can hold my order

Kekw

[icy cosmos]

if the order ship out on the same date. you´re not getting any slack.

[molten ember]

Hold it till the other one is shipped then confirm the address

[icy cosmos]

I wish you the best of luck

[grave jetty]

Who said all that calm down I just asked a question no need to try in between the lines I’m sooo sorry that I can’t ask a simple and harmless question

[winged pelican]

it's strange that within the EU-Kampioen the batches are separated. there's early aug batch & late aug batch.

[toxic zephyr]

not really, it's just that the hub will give you an estimate based on your location, courier and all that

[winged pelican]

delivery within the EU doesn't fluctuate by 2-3 weeks

[toxic zephyr]

someone living in NL will get their keyboard a month before someone in south africa who got the cheapest shipping

yes it does lmao

I am literally the one whose shipments are 2 weeks behind the rest of the people

[winged pelican]

I think you misunderstood what I said

[tight cypress]

It fluctuates within 2~14 days, and late July might as well be 30th
But in the end it's estimate, not definitive delivery time

[buoyant solstice]

It can if you happen to be in Switzerland.

[winged pelican]

my guess is the logistics process/company will prio bigger markets first otherwise estimates don't make sense.

[toxic zephyr]

you don't need to guess because this information is also available on wooting's website, they ship out in country-specific batches

[winged pelican]

i've had a 35kg ebike delivered to Estonia from Netherlands in 2 weeks - which also had to go through extra customs etc

[winged pelican]

ah then i was right 😄

[buoyant solstice]

Closer to the warehouse, yes. Not larger markets.

But this is a matter of a few days.

[tight cypress]

https://help.wooting.io/article/81-my-pre-order-is-ready-to-ship-now-what

[winged pelican]

early and late prob not a few days 😛 but i'd be happy if that were the case!

[buoyant solstice]

Customs? No. Both are EU countries.

[winged pelican]

has to go through customs bc of battery transportation laws

they blew large holes in the box and opened it up thoroughly, possibly checking for drgz 😄

[buoyant solstice]

Our keyboards famously have zero batteries, so I am not sure how that anecdote is relevant to this conversation.

[winged pelican]

speed is the relevancy

[tight cypress]

There ya go - 3~8 days

[winged pelican]

yes the article you shared confirmed my theory

[buoyant solstice]

PostNL's estimates are not entirely accurate for Europe (shorter than stated)

[echo radish]

I did rushed shipping and last time the 60he came from Las Vegas US for me I’m assuming the new keyboard will also so my shipping time should be 1-2 days

[tight cypress]

Shipping? Most likely
The whole fulfillment may take a bit longer, it's a big batch

[toxic zephyr]

looking forward to the 10k people who come in to complain how their order hasn't shipped yet 1 minute after the keyboards are received by the warehouse

[coarse gulch]

Why wait untill then when I can ask why it's not shipped right now?

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-hammer-futurama-scruffy-gif-20750885

[toxic zephyr]

[coarse gulch]

🤣

I do have a serious question tho, it's my first purchase with Wooting so sorry if it's something very obvious:

From my understanding, when the batch gets to the warehouse the order won't be automatically shipped? Like you have to request shipment for your own order from the hub? Did I understand that correctly? And if so, why is that the case?

[toxic zephyr]

this is how plenty of pre-orders work; in order to ensure you still live where you said you live 4 months ago, an address confirmation is usually required

otherwise, it'll just ship automatically to the address you provided after a week or so

[buoyant solstice]

Because you may have forgotten that you had an order shipping out. Or you went on holiday. Or you moved. Or you didn't use the correct address to begin with on checkout.

We send out an automated email asking you to click a link to ship it out.

[midnight iron]

Optimistic that you think it’ll be only 10k

[toxic zephyr]

there'll be another 10k people complaining that the customer service is slow though

[coarse gulch]

I see, it does make sense, thanks @toxic zephyr and @buoyant solstice

[stuck urchin]

Damn I wish I could get my hands on this new keyboard

But I have a 2HE already

[toxic zephyr]

sell 2HE, buy 80HE

it's 78 better so great value 👍

[winged pelican]

this is a guarantee

[upbeat salmon]

i own a 2 HE, a Lekker edidion and a 60HE. Still preordered the 80HE 🤪

[nova nexus]

My intention is to do all of the address confirmations and preparations a week or two ahead of shipments starting

I'm also working with our fulfillment partners to put together a fulfillment strategy for this batch, submit orders in tranches, and to inform customers which day their order will get fulfilled

We got this

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/bitcoin-blockchain-cryptocurrency-gains-avalanche-gif-23550525

[stuck urchin]

Has anyone tried to sell their wooting keyboards? And do they sell?

[stuck urchin]

Thats going levels

[weary wren]

They seem to sell well on ebay if they are in mint condition.

[toxic zephyr]

I've sold all mine so

one, 60HE, Lekker edition

in various stages of use, 60HE was painted too

[dense ridge]

@toxic zephyr on ebay?

[toxic zephyr]

local alternatives

or this discord here

finnyland is tiny so if they sell locally I'm sure they will on ebay

[cosmic aurora]

Would it be better to just buy the keyboard prebuilt zinc case? or parts

[meager quail]

what ever you like

i bought parts just becouse there was frost

[cosmic aurora]

The prebuilt seemed cheaper than separate parts

[meager quail]

yep

i have keycaps so without it , it was cheaper

for me

[icy cosmos]

Since you wrote all thoes words, it would be rude to not read it? I don´t read between the lines.. I read all the lines 😉 . I also hope you understand sarcasm.

[clear swallow]

i bought it pre-built without caps, have some sitting around

[paper wind]

is 80he wireless or not, guys?

[dense ridge]

@paper windno

[toxic zephyr]

saaame

[rose crane]

Not

[prisma fjord]

sadly, Wooting doesn't have wireless keyboards.

[meager cargo]

can i order it in plastic and swap it into a zync case later on?

[hoary quiver]

wireless keyboards

[buoyant solstice]

Yep

[hoary quiver]

also if you buy pre-assembled one?

[buoyant solstice]

Sure. You'd have to screw it apart and rebuild it.

[icy cosmos]

I would say the opposite, thank god it’s not a wireless keyboard. Less is more

[meager cargo]

100%?

[buoyant solstice]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-80he-zinc-alloy-case

[hoary quiver]

sorry i meant can I change my order from pre-assembled in plastic to pre-assembled in zinc aloy case?

[buoyant solstice]

That is a completely different question - Still yes for a limited time.

[prisma fjord]

it's about a choice I would like to have less wires on a table

[buoyant solstice]

You'd be charging that keyboard twice a day.

So much for being wire-less.

[icy cosmos]

Wooting is a performance oriented brand. It’s like asking Porsche to make a limousine

[prisma fjord]

Yeah I've already seen the explanation why keyboards are wired, still sad.

[hoary quiver]

where can I ask for a change and could you please precise that "limited time"?

[icy cosmos]

When technology is at the level that wireless makes sense. Wooting will do it I suppose.

[buoyant solstice]

I cannot. We're still working on how this will work.
At least until a while after we've shown off final cases.

[prisma fjord]

that's not about performance that's about charging the keyboard because magnetic switches would use up a lot of charge.

wireless products aren't worse than wired ones anymore that's about battery time

[icy cosmos]

You’re joking right, you can put in bigger batteries to solve the problem. The fact that the powerdraw is an issue = we need more improvements in this department.

[hoary quiver]

sooo i cannot change my order rn?

[pseudo parrot]

shipping batteries is also a pain

[meager cargo]

so there is no problem ordering the plastic one and swapping it for a zync one there is no size difference? or other things?

[icy cosmos]

@prisma fjord I have been waiting 3 years for 80HE. They could have just made a bigger keyboard with the technology they had on 60HE

There’s a right time for everything

[buoyant solstice]

Depends on what you're trying to change to. You won't be able to change a preassembled 80HE to a case that is module only.

[meager cargo]

so what could i do if i had a plastic one. can i upgrade the case to a zync straight away or should i just order the zync one.

[buoyant solstice]

Do you already have an order placed or not?

[prisma fjord]

Mansen literally replied 5 messages above about the problem is battery life also as you can guess that's not the first time this question is floating and someone from wooting team (can't remember who it was) already answered the same thing before so you can guess it's still a problem

[icy cosmos]

So are you saying that you can’t put in a bigger battery to solve a battery draw issue?

[buoyant solstice]

Would you like your 60% keyboard to be 100%?

[icy cosmos]

I understand the problem at hand. If the battery technology improves by 40% and power draw drop by 40% by using more efficient chips and components. Then there won’t be any problems

It’s a matter of technology limitations of the current generation

[buoyant solstice]

That's not quite what you just said though. "bigger battery" is not "improved efficiency"

[icy cosmos]

I mean you could make a wireless keyboard if you wanted

Just not the design and size Wooting wanted though

[buoyant solstice]

Yeah - And as mentioned previously, the battery would be more than half the keyboard size if not more.
Unless you're willing to compromise on things like RGB and Hall Effect switches. Or don't mind recharging the keyboard so often, that it is essentially wired anyway.

[icy cosmos]

Everything is a compromise, there’s no such thing as perfection in engineering.

People just failed to understand the difference between different designs choices and compromises

[near niche]

Gooood morning!

[icy cosmos]

We’re still 4 months away from delivery 🚚 plenty of time to do roundabouts

[buoyant solstice]

I am done repeating myself.

[icy cosmos]

You have spoken

[near niche]

I pre ordered during founders campaign. How do I receive my role?

[buoyant solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hmRHWZSeXw

[fallen epoch]

Hows the fishing going Mansen

[buoyant solstice]

No bites yet.

[molten ember]

if the wooting is instock now

do i have to confirm my address still before shipping it

[icy cosmos]

How many time have you repeatedly answer this question 😅

[buoyant solstice]

It's part of the job.

[fallen epoch]

I hope you catch many a bass, or whatever fish you’re aiming for

[nova nexus]

No

[icy cosmos]

You’re relentless

[nova nexus]

All about that bass, 'bout that bass

[fallen epoch]

No treble

[near niche]

🙏

[mossy rock]

is wooting 60 he plus ant 80 he has a performance diffrence?

[molten ember]

can i place it on hold tho

[fallen epoch]

Not a significant one, net zero

[nova nexus]

Yes, via the hub

[molten ember]

aight thankss

[digital portal]

polling rate is higher on the 80HE

but as stated, its a negligible difference

[fallen epoch]

[icy cosmos]

I would add more buttons = faster typing/ control if you need them

[meager cargo]

no i have not

i dont know which one i should go for since there is huge price difference

[fallen epoch]

Flip a coin

[icy cosmos]

Get the cheapest one ☝️. Or get the most expensive one ☝️. Being in the middle is not good 😌

[fallen epoch]

Module is a fun experience

[icy cosmos]

Getting a prebuilt one and you can experience the factory floor workmanship. Ready to go, out of the box.

[digital portal]

Get both imo. Worth spending a little bit more to have options.

the ghost case as an addon is cheap enough to justify the cost

[loud pier]

80he update video doko

[pseudo parrot]

is live

[dusty marten]

Are the yellow feet of the 80HE final? Black or white variants depending on the case would look sweet

[tight cypress]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uRXHE8HWFw

[tight cliff]

Nice with the pull tab on the travel case

[hoary quiver]

still no preview/final look 😦

[small rune]

The zinc alloy version seems doesn’t come with a dust cover, it is kind of sad🥺.

[hoary quiver]

or he just didnt place it there

they won't ship your keyboard inside that travel case for sure

[small rune]

I hope so🥺

[prisma fjord]

dust cover inside a travel case? huh

[nova nexus]

We absolutely intend to ship zinc keyboards inside the travel case, it would be ridiculous to do so otherwise

[hoary quiver]

it doesnt looks sturdy/safe at the first look

[pseudo parrot]

im more excited to see how the post card will look like haha, have one now soon ill have 3 in total

[buoyant solstice]

It's not a hardshell case. If you drop it off a table, you will regret it.

[upbeat berry]

i would consider a case a dustcover

[digital wigeon]

Where can I ask for help?

[nova nexus]

Certainly more sturdy and safe than a cardboard box

[buoyant solstice]

Depends on what you need help with I spose'

[nova nexus]

#1019755933959733258 or email to [e-mail]

[digital wigeon]

Basicly I want to know if I can have a 10 meters extension cord for the keyboard and know if it would still preform as good

[buoyant solstice]

You wouldn't get a signal at all.

You'd need some kind of special, boosted cable to get past 5m with a high powered, high bandwidth device as a gaming keyboard.

Or use some kind of converter to fiber (which are not cheap)

[digital portal]

yeah 32 feet on a USB cable wouldn't work with any modern keyboard.

[digital wigeon]

It won’t work? Cus I was thinking of getting the wooting 60HE but I need to have Bluetooth since it’s to far from my PlayStation

[buoyant solstice]

2m tops unless you're willing to fork over +100$ for a cable (or more most likely)

[digital wigeon]

Do you have any recommendations

[digital wigeon]

🥹

[buoyant solstice]

None whatsoever. This is very, very outside of my area of experience.

[digital wigeon]

Is it possible to somehow get it to work with Bluetooth?

[upbeat berry]

if you build a custom solution yes

[low token]

Where name of founders will be displayed

[lavish yacht]

Thanks for the update Wooting on the 80he. Not so patiently waiting on the shipping

[buoyant solstice]

On the website

[upbeat berry]

the website update to show the names will be live next week

[digital wigeon]

Is that hard to make on the 60HE?

[upbeat berry]

depends on your knowledge of electrical engineering i guess

[digital wigeon]

None 👌

[buoyant solstice]

You're going at this completely wrong. If you want a gaming keyboard like the 60HE, move your Playstation to a desk.

[crystal locust]

Yo actually having my first name displayed sounds hype af I'm ngl. I'm happy about my upgrade soon

[upbeat berry]

yeah get long hdmi cable

[crystal locust]

4 months will fly by

[loud pier]

I think this is pretty clear indication that people wanted wooting for years, just in tkl format

[digital wigeon]

I really want to but my parents won’t allow me + I don’t have a monitor 😔

[low token]

So I guess bottom off 80he page?

[crystal locust]

60% is a dealbreaker for sure

[digital wigeon]

Does anyone know a good monitor cus it would be a waste if I get a good keyboard without a good monitor

Not to expensive though

[loud pier]

yeah. Also it's easy to get keypad separately, not much option for keypad + nav area

[gilded horizon]

Wat the hell I was late July now mine says ESTIMATED DELIVERY
Early August 2024 😢

[crystal locust]

ye same. but that's all estimates. It could be later or even sooner I dont even think anyone TRULY knows when it's gonna ship out

@gilded horizon

[gilded horizon]

Damn I was hoping 😂

[nova nexus]

Arrival at warehouse late July, delivery to your door early August 😐

[gilded horizon]

Ahh fair enough :p just noticed the date changed on the site heh

[verbal solar]

is the discord name option for the founders page going to be your @ or your display name

[cedar hound]

Do we have to pick one or is it just our Real Names?

[digital portal]

its anon by default

[azure oar]

honestly 4 months isn't bad for a crowdfunded campaign

[verbal solar]

help

[digital portal]

when you select it, it shows you what it will be displayed as.

Pick the option, and dont advance to the next, the window that pops up will show you an example of what it will look like

[prisma fjord]

What's the difference for you? You have the same display and username buy yes it's gonna be username I think

[gilded horizon]

I just picked discord name aka forreal1337

[shell monolith]

Chefs kiss😬

[verbal solar]

cus if it shows display name, i would change my display name to something else i really want lol (its not inapropriate)

[nova nexus]

It will be your Discord account name

[digital portal]

your display name and username are identical...

[crystal locust]

That sounds like scolding

[azure oar]

it's your unique username

not your display name

[buoyant solstice]

It'll be the username, not your display name indeed. So no Mark shown in this example.

[prisma fjord]

But... U know you can change your discord username if you don't like the one you have right?

[dusty marten]

Ping :D

[cedar hound]

Just watched the new video, over 7 million raised god damn, guess I‘m not gonna be the only Yannick

[verbal solar]

whats a yannick

[cedar hound]

That’s my real life gamer tag so to say

[digital portal]

that is a fair point, if there's 1000 johns, will they show each of them duplicated on the page?

John (x1000)

[buoyant solstice]

John
John
John

[azure storm]

80he supremacy

[cedar hound]

Maybe if you boiled Down name variations to standard American ones, I‘d be listed as John as well, maybe we can break 1000 Johns

[winter coral]

Urghs

[shell monolith]

I chose my first name but will your last name also be visible or just my name?

[buoyant solstice]

It says first name.

[digital portal]

I just received my Neo80 keyboard 2 days ago, and I'm not even excited to build it. I'm half considering selling it and just waiting for the 80HE.

[winter coral]

https://youtu.be/azyf2E-9xCQ?si=-D_kziWtqFgNfecA
Not my Sound Profile.

[verbal solar]

guys its accepting my first name with spaces, but will that work fine on the website aswell?

[cedar hound]

I’d like an option to have my last name displayed as well, if that’s too much of an inconvenience to implement, then can I change my First Name to something unique after having already picked the name?

[shell monolith]

What if multiple people with the same name? My name is quite unique but lets say Micheal for example

[cedar hound]

.

[verbal solar]

thats what im doing lol

[pseudo parrot]

when i did mine it said you cant change it afterwards so its final im guessing (for discord name)

[cedar hound]

Man I should’ve thought that through before picking

[buoyant solstice]

That's 100% going to get refused.

[verbal solar]

damn

[buoyant solstice]

Also... your order isn't going to ship

[verbal solar]

but its not even inapropriate

[cedar hound]

Except if they change their name in real life as well

[verbal solar]

why does it have to match my irl name tho?

[kind wasp]

i would never spend money to make my keyboard sound different 💀

[digital portal]

That was the question I raised above, will they just show multiple of the founders with the same name, each a unique entry per duplicated name, or will they summarize it by just one of the name followed by a count of how many people have that name.

[prisma fjord]

it's first name not a chose a name you would like to display

[buoyant solstice]

They will not be summarized.

[hoary quiver]

they dont want everyone to react just like my profile pic

[digital portal]

Ok, thanks for clarifying Mansen.

[verbal solar]

i dont get it.

[winter coral]

Me neither

[shell monolith]

Maybe keep it professional? 😂

[verbal solar]

well they do allow discord names, how is it any different

[cedar hound]

There seems to be a lot of motivation to pick a custom name, maybe consider giving us the option?

[hoary quiver]

ive got one

[digital portal]

Your discord name is a "custom name"

[buoyant solstice]

That would be a massive administrative nightmare.

[hoary quiver]

XxwootingcommanderxX

[cedar hound]

Oh I didn’t think about bad names

[verbal solar]

i have a question, is there any reason for my name on hub to be same as irl name?

[cedar hound]

First and Last name as an option would be fair

[prisma fjord]

Just change your username to something you would like and chose the discord name option

[verbal solar]

it doesnt allow caps

[prisma fjord]

yeah

[prisma fjord]

fair enough

[cedar hound]

Is picking the name 100% irreversible?

[digital portal]

Thats what it says when you pick one of the options.

[cedar hound]

I think it took my discord username, not the visible one when I tried that option though

[verbal solar]

well whatever, just change ur first name to whatever u want and confirm the name then revert it back to your actual name guys, no big deal.

[prisma fjord]

yes it's usernames ofc

[late river]

.

[cedar hound]

Is that even changeable? I didn’t see an option for that in the settings

[verbal solar]

it is

[meager quail]

1

[prisma fjord]

my accout -> username -> edit button

[meager quail]

just click on your name in chat and change username

[meager quail]

or edit server profile

[prisma fjord]

that's server profile not the one he is looking for

[cedar hound]

Now I just need to find a way to revert picking my First name

[meager quail]

you can go for both options from there

[prisma fjord]

I mean he is looking to change discord username not the name that he is showing off on a servers

[shell monolith]

Isn’t this your discord name? Like in the old days with hashtag

[plain aurora]

only thing im worried abt is people sending me random friend reqs

[prisma fjord]

the old one

[plain aurora]

also rip to the people who have numbers and shit/boring username lol

[queen vigil]

hmm

[prisma fjord]

true

[pseudo parrot]

this is your discord name

[shell monolith]

So same for me xo.pyke xD

[pseudo parrot]

yea

[prisma fjord]

Would be sweet if you could have an option to add a description to discord username to edit. Like make some letters in the username capital or delete numbers dots and underscores in discord username that you have in a submit name or actually just make it a server name instead of discord username that would be easier for everyone

[molten raft]

I REALLY wanted to be a founder, but after having recently bought the 60HE, I sadly didn't have enough money. I wish you guys good luck anyway!!

[mental gulch]

It’s in account settings and then change username

[tight cliff]

Is this also a new cable colour?

[buoyant solstice]

It's the UwU cable

[tight cliff]

Ah i see

[toxic zephyr]

hope you'll send an email about the possibility to pick your name thing

plenty of people don't watch the yt videos, never mind discord

[olive smelt]

Hey I just realised people that bought the Wooting 80HE spent on average €319 (€7,452,597 / 23355)
I assume most people have bought the zinc alloy case? (€320 total)

And I bought the PCR plastic case 😭

[lime falcon]

no

[olive smelt]

do the extras (ex: coiled cable) add up for the raised total?

am I missing something?

[rustic loom]

yall seen the frost plastic case on modded?

for some reason it wasnt showing up on mine on pre built

[worn forum]

I bought the PCR plastic case

[worn forum]

Is this a zinc alloy case?

[rustic loom]

theres two one ghost one frost

but you only see the first when you choose the module instead of the pre built

[tight cliff]

I think it's the plastic case but might be wrong

[olive smelt]

truee

[worn forum]

Oh thanks, it looks delicate

[tame sphinx]

Same happened to me and was to lazy to deal with the process of changing the order . Might purchase a different case sometime in the future

[loud pier]

I guess my keycap will arrive before keyboard

oh well, i can live with this one for few more month

[hidden field]

[upbeat berry]

it shows the name... idk why people are confused what name will be displayed.

[grizzled cove]

soon

[plain aurora]

people dont know they can just click on the website to preview whether its the or discord display name or user name without confirming the selection

[main dust]

Is there a summary for the stream?

[upbeat berry]

yes

[main dust]

[midnight sapphire]

wait where's my cool lemon colored 80he role.. why is it blue now? that color was so nice

[cosmic needle]

for me it was blue all the time wdym

[buoyant solstice]

There was some feedback about it being very difficult to read on light mode. So it was adjustedx.

[cosmic needle]

nvm

[midnight sapphire]

ah alright

[lime aspen]

all 3 people that use lightmode will appreciate that

[wheat wadi]

i orderd a zinc alloy modded version. and it said it will come with a travelcase. the travelcase is not listed in my order is this normal?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes. 🙂

[lime aspen]

yes

[wheat wadi]

thansk for fast feedback 🙂

[buoyant solstice]

All zinc cases are shipped in the travel case.

[radiant wigeon]

Anyone else seeing their batch arrival estimate being pushed back? No longer July and I have not heard any reason as to why. Obviously it is an estimate and subject to change, but any updates?

[midnight iron]

The estimated delivery is different from warehouse delivery

[deft basalt]

Mansen any chances of a purple wrist rest?

[midnight iron]

It adds a bit to be safe depending on where you are - it’s why some folks in batch 1 who live near to warehouse have July estimates vs August

[radiant wigeon]

Yeah, my initial delivery estimate was July. It is now August.

[hoary quiver]

it was never estimated july

[midnight iron]

Not sure then, mine was always early August and still is

[hoary quiver]

it was estimated at warehouse in late july

[radiant wigeon]

Not per my wooting hub a few days ago

[hoary quiver]

it got corrected then

[radiant wigeon]

Where did you get your information on the delivery estimates?

[keen wraith]

what batch are you in

[hoary quiver]

in checkout and hub

but it was always early august for most of us i guess

at least for batch 1

[radiant wigeon]

So you don't have any source?

[hoary quiver]

source for what?

[radiant wigeon]

For what you are saying lol if you are just citing checkout and the hub, that is not indicative of what was previously noted. I ordered day 1 of the campaign

[midnight iron]

Wouldn’t be surprised if a shipping service or warehouse added a bit of time to original schedule and it bumped the late July guys into early August

Since the delivery estimate is just an estimate based on all of those factors

[radiant wigeon]

It's pre-production so I doubt it, I was just curious if I missed any updates on pre-production or testing

[river wharf]

iirc it depends on your country, jp will get it in early august

[midnight iron]

No I mean as in maybe it was quoted as 1 week prep and delivery but now it’s 1 week and 2 days for example

[hoary quiver]

on the site it still says "expected at warehouse mid july" but its obvious that you will get it like month later

[midnight iron]

There hasn’t been any updates or delays that they’ve announced so you haven’t missed anything either way

[hoary quiver]

bro is pissed about being pushed back from "late july" to "early august"

[keen wraith]

mine still says july

[midnight iron]

Chill, he’s not angry, he’s just curious

Nothing wrong with asking

[radiant wigeon]

I am also NA-Champion. Interesting. @midnight iron could be right regarding shipping

[radiant wigeon]

Yep, I am malding

[keen wraith]

im usa

[radiant wigeon]

[hoary quiver]

not saying its wrong with asking but its overthinking at this point

[jolly tangle]

sno is mvp woothelp80HE server. hes usually right

[umbral pawn]

Thing is, this estimation is pointless unless the product is actually in production and ready to be shipped

Once it's in mass production then this estimation will change to something more realistic.

[radiant wigeon]

Yes, exactly. I was asking if I missed an update is all.

[deft basalt]

Purple wrist rest when

[tiny quail]

if I choose my discord name, does wooting take my discord display name or the discord id? like Ready or Ready8703?

[buoyant solstice]

The latter.

[tiny quail]

Doctor says I only have two more weeks, my last wish is to touch the finished Wooting 80HE raw zinc!

[jolly tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-staring-funny-annoyed-gif-12839518833322387741

[tiny quail]

just realized my estimated delivery changed from july to august

[nimble dew]

Same here

[azure oar]

why raw zinc, not black?

genuinely curious if there's a reason. I got the black one bc it'll go with the rest of my setup much easier

[cosmic needle]

Just preference nothing else

You can pull out pretty nice looks with the raw zinc

All of them look good tho

[flint egret]

For the display name for the 80he founders, are you guys choosing the first name or discord name? Like what would happen if there's like 50 of the same first name, would they just be listed on repeat?

[buoyant solstice]

Your username. Not a display name.

I completely misread that.

No plans for additional PBT languages at the moment.

not at the moment however hinted in the long run

[cosmic needle]

Did we get notified about it yet?

Haven’t received an email so far

[acoustic jasper]

NO MY LATE JULY CHANGE TO EARLY AUGUST!!!

[tiny quail]

no but you can edit your first and last name on your wooting.io personal profile

[viral pine]

can we get an option to use the discord display name rather than the username? I'd like my discord name to be displayed but the current option will only show it in lowercase

[upbeat berry]

most likely not as discord now has at least 2 display names per user

the username is far more identifiable

[jolly tangle]

cant you arrange a 1 time custom request hour.

[arctic ice]

wouldnt feel the same

[jolly tangle]

quite a few custom username requests are pouring in.

[upbeat berry]

technically discord name is the most unique option we offer as first names arent unique, display names arent unique but discord usernames are guaranteed to be unique

[verbal solar]

Hey I didn't get the keycaps and as far as i heard they will have some wooting control drawing stuff, can I still add keycaps somehow since its only shipping in August?

[jolly tangle]

... there is always an option later to add addons right @upbeat berry ?

such as keycaps..

[verbal solar]

[tiny quail]

what kind of custom username that needs to be requested? can't they just edit their profile?

[upbeat berry]

before queueing for fullfilment yes

[verbal solar]

Ig I need to make wooting acc

Sadge

Iso PT keycaps when

[spark lantern]

Name doesn't take into account caps? 😦

[verbal solar]

PT layout>>>>>others

[viral pine]

alternatively can we change the capitalization of the discord name?

[upbeat berry]

no it takes the username returned by the discord API

[viral pine]

aw

[verbal solar]

I alrdy paid the founder thing..

[upbeat berry]

yes but also should you bungle it up or decide to wanna change it later you cant. once submitted it is set in stone forever

[upbeat berry]

idk what this refers to

[verbal solar]

Me didn't add keycaps

Turns out keycaps will have controls on it

Me needs to see em cause me dumb

[upbeat berry]

oh you didnt add any keycaps?

youll have to email use then at [e-mail]

ESTIMATED DELIVERY
Early August 2024

But then again, I don't really need it urgently. I don't think it will be very different than my current keyboard anyway %)

[lime falcon]

what keyboard?

[loud pier]

Late July for me

[flint egret]

Does location dictate what delivery month you get?

[tight cypress]

That too
But ultimately Late July and Early August are the same batch and are all shipped at once

[fading apex]

country diff i guess

i got july and in NA

[flint egret]

NA as well, got Late July

[astral sedge]

steelseries Apex Pro, basically almost identical switches

[scarlet dune]

i was supposed to have late july guessed it got pushed back NA

[fading apex]

are omni points gateron?

[astral sedge]

yes. Custom variant for Steelseries, especially LED placement, but yes

[upper shore]

folks, any1 got their order estimated delivery pushed back a bit? I ordered in the first day of the campaign and had a July expected delivery date, but now the hub is showing august

[lime falcon]

well 80he will be a lot nicer than apex pro

[astral sedge]

we will see ;P

[tight cypress]

Even 2HE is faster and has more features than Apex Pro TKL

[astral sedge]

Yeah but what features do you really need. And it is not true 😉

You cannot play snake (Snek) on your wooting keyboard

[lime falcon]

Ive used apex pro and it felt like ass, software is garbage, sounds terrible

[tight cypress]

https://github.com/TanTanDev/wooting_snake

[astral sedge]

Yeah but the variant on the mini OLED is better 😛

But what I am saying is that if you don't need any of the super fancy extra featueres, the feature set is very similar.

[jade widget]

Yeah well wooting can't use sick software like steelseries gg either

[tight cypress]

No DKS, no controller mode, both of which I do use regularly
And no incoming SOCD aka Rappy Snappy

[astral sedge]

DKS?

shrugI setup the keyboard the way I wanted and then forgot about the software

[tight cypress]

Very useful mini macros https://help.wooting.io/article/99-how-to-use-dks

[jade widget]

You'd probably use the software more if it actually had cool software features

[astral sedge]

oh that feature. I never cared about that feature. But Steelseries also has DKS now too

it might only be two instead of four levels

[lime falcon]

ofc it does

they are just copying everything

[astral sedge]

and wooting is copying magnetic hall effect siwtches then 😛

I am just saying for a normal person like me, the difference is not that big anymore

[lime falcon]

how can you say that before using the keyboard

[tight cypress]

Wooting has introduced HE switches and Rapid Trigger to the keyboard market

[jade widget]

Hall effect switches were a gimmick before wooting added the software that actually made them good

[tight cypress]

Still... this
And the fact SteelSeries doesn't bother to even put HE switches on all keys is kinda embarrassing
It'd cost them like what... $2 per keyboard to add HE switches to F-row and arrows?
It's not about do we need it or not, it's about customer approach

[lime falcon]

wait what

[astral sedge]

Yes. That is true. I am were more refering to the fact that the Steelseries Omnipoint 2.0 are older than the HE two switches

[lime falcon]

it doesnt have he switches on all keys?

[astral sedge]

No, F keys, arrow keys and and pgup/down/home/insert/pos1/end cluster is just normal reds

[lime falcon]

lmfao

[glad fable]

tf are they trying to be cheap for

[pseudo parrot]

Also it’s a bit weird to me that apex pro, part of it at least being hall effect doesn’t offer analog movement

[astral sedge]

how much do the hall effects sensors actually cost? Do you have any idea?

is the hall effect sensor part of the switch or is it under the switch on the PCB. I never checked

[lime falcon]

pcb

[astral sedge]

yeah, you can see it here in the video, LED + Sensor on the PCB (https://youtu.be/jvpRfRYVfco?si=YITvzuuf4qFaMA2N&t=46)

It's better than Razer

I do admit, I am currently using their mouse.. but keyboard is not something I would like to use

steelseries does make pretty good product

I am using Nova Pro Wireless

and I do actually have Apex Pro, although I am not using it at the moment

I bought it when it was new, so I'm pretty sure I need to update firmware to use rapidtrigger like feature

isn't that mean it's not really built to do it though...

Apex Pro not TKL

I dont do numpad these days, this is why I actually abandoned this keyboard

using g915 rn

might take time to get used to full key again but i did when i did use Apex Pro so

please 80he doko

[meager halo]

I had a really good steelseries artic 7, bought the next edition and it was worse in every way

[loud pier]

Nova Pro Wireless is good if you want to connect consoles and PC at the same time 3.5mm jack as well. make very flexible station for audio

Razer... I started from using Tarantula

back in the old days, when gaming peripheral was new, it was "gaming" if your key can do simultaneous rollover

many keyboard didn't do that properly in early days

screws up like 2~4 key simultenous input in rhythm games

and screw up FPS games for sure

[meager halo]

I have 2 glorious KBs, not sure which i'll replace with my 80HE

[flint egret]

Upgrading from Keychron K2 myself, very excited

[loud pier]

RGB wasn't a thing back then

tarantula let you put like... optional keyboard light

you can attach to top of Function row

even that was actually quite amazing back then

since keyboard expect to have no light

[flint egret]

Was this the direct competitor to Logitech G15/G series keyboards at the time?

[loud pier]

i think so? I am not too sure

it's age where putting bunch of shit on keyboard was assumed cool

and "gaming"

I think after that, mechanical switch gaming keyboard rised

[buoyant sail]

does the discord name is the username? or the display discord name?

[flint egret]

Username

[jade widget]

i think my first "gaming" keyboard was the razer blackwidow in 2012 when they still used cherry switches, i had mx blues in mine

[lime aspen]

my 2014 blackwidow had those nasty ass razer green switches

[loud pier]

I have blackwidow stealth

[lime aspen]

loudest thing on planet fucking earth

[loud pier]

had.. i probably threw that one out now

it was cool to have loud switch back then

first version was cherry blue switch i think the clicky one

[lime aspen]

i always hated how it sounded even before i even knew what a custom keyboard was

[meager halo]

80HE should run any keycaps right? Feel like I should swap off my Evangelion style for home/work

[loud pier]

cherry stem key I think

[lime aspen]

any cherry mx stem

[meager halo]

easy, any theme ideas, imma start browsing alixpress

[loud pier]

hyte got me covered for keycap. I can't resist hololive

[lime aspen]

i use wootings white keycaps

[loud pier]

keycap prob arrive first and probably have to sit until 80he arrives since my current one is g915 tkl, can't even put it there

[meager halo]

Hyte?

[loud pier]

well the key I am going to use is dye-sublimated PBT plastic

isn't that also an option for 80he when you ordered one, i remember seeing it

[meager halo]

Their hololive set looks aight

[loud pier]

dye-sub PBT I see it

Yeah, I already splurged 100 on keycap is bit crazy but it's vtuber merch it expect to be higher

besides, if that was doubleshot or ABS, i would be pissed

[meager halo]

I'm not a super keyboard nerd but I got a few sets from Alix that are really good. is dye sub the best, for the non shiny style

[loud pier]

there are some crazy options like metal or ceramic

cerakey have ceramic keys

if you want all out that might be a good option too

funny how damn ceramic key cost 126 but my dyesub pbt key cost 100

[cosmic needle]

I was thinking about to get the ceramic ones, but i thought they might be a bit to heavy, u have any info on that and how they perform on games like val?

[loud pier]

I dont think i've seen people talking about performance of keycap as much

it's very niche so there isn't much video of it talking about how is it to use in game

[cosmic needle]

I liked the look and sound a lot but i just don’t know about difference in games

I might fat finger easier cuz it’s easier to press them down

[loud pier]

it's smooth finish and it is heavier than reg key

[meager halo]

Got this evangelion set for 30$ USD "PBT 156 Keys EVA-00 Keycaps Cherry Profile DYE-Sub"

[cosmic needle]

Spacebar prototype was about 20 gram

[loud pier]

which it self probably have some force due to weight, easier to push.. maybe?

[cosmic needle]

I think the final one was about 13

[cosmic needle]

Also valid point

The extra weight also might add up in coming back up slower than normal key caps

[loud pier]

could be

[cosmic needle]

I don’t think I will try them for gaming 😦

[loud pier]

i think regular small key probably won't matter as much

but big key like space might affect

[tardy obsidian]

Mid-July

[brave trellis]

Early September

[cosmic needle]

same...

[brave trellis]

Guess that what happens when you on the fence until the last second :p

[cosmic needle]

i decided to order mouse and mousepad first

thats what i get for it :v

[fading apex]

yo guys

[cosmic needle]

gpx superlight 2 and artisan zero

[fading apex]

so i brought the 80he, but forgot to get the cool usb c cable

am i cooked? won't let me discount

[cosmic needle]

wdym with cool usb cable

did i forget it too then? :v

[fading apex]

the usb c that uses the lemo connecter instead of aviator

[cosmic needle]

maybe u can upgrade it in ur order later

there is a button for it already but rn there are only keycaps to stock up, they said more items will appear in there soon

[fading apex]

the founder thing ended so i dunno if i can change my order

[cosmic needle]

is it necessary tho?

[fading apex]

no it's just looks lol

[cosmic needle]

just wait a few days and if it doesnt show up in there hit up the sup, i know from what ive heard they can upgrade orders manually

[fading apex]

i actually don't have that

[cosmic needle]

lol

i also ordered in the founding campaign

[brave trellis]

In your wooting hub

Lucky you!

[cosmic aurora]

If I bought a pack of keycaps for a standard keyboard. It should work fine on the 80he right?

[valid comet]

i got a stealth coiled too

[valid comet]

aa long as it works with the MX stem and the spacebar is 6.25u, it should be fine

[delicate dagger]

Yeah it’s basically a tkl with fewer buttons. No special stuff

[icy cosmos]

@cosmic needle you can add anything you want to an existing order by summiting a Ticket to customer support.

[verbal solar]

anyone know how many grams the actuation force is on the 80he?

could i get some possibly cheap ceramic or metal looking keys from some where.

[jade widget]

the stock switches for the prebuilt are 60 grams but they also have a 45 gram option with the module version

[toxic zephyr]

that's for bottom out since actuation is freely adjustable over the entire range

[bleak parcel]

if i were to buy just the zinc case no module even after the pre order, does it still come with the travel case? I have no more money LOL

[buoyant solstice]

Yes

[idle fern]

How to be 100 percent
What do you get if you arrive?

[buoyant solstice]

Uh... what

[prisma fjord]

you must buy two he to be 100 percent

[idle fern]

100 percent For what? free 80he 1 piece ?

[buoyant solstice]

It's... it's just the name of the "I preordered the 80HE during the founder's campaign"! role

[violet garnet]

may get delayed to 2026

[hearty sky]

💀

[proud parcel]

Do we have any wooting 80he zinc white picture?

[proud parcel]

white zinc is best

[cosmic needle]

Can I ask what the uwuting is used for?

I don’t get what you should use this 3 buttons on

Oh I see

I first thought it wss like a mini stream deck but using it on osu might be cracked

[buoyant solstice]

It was designed with games like osu! in mind. But also doubles nicely as a music controller.

[wispy trellis]

that's why the HE80 has no knob per default?

[buoyant solstice]

The knob project is its own thing.

[azure shuttle]

Is EU-Kampioen the first batch?

[prisma fjord]

Yep

[buoyant solstice]

Yep

[proud parcel]

crazy

[reef ruin]

U got it?
