[lime aspen]

ive got bad tremors too but if i rest my fingers its fine

my tremors dont effect me that bad until i start applying force/tensing my muscles

[valid comet]

top right of the up arrow here are 3x 1u spaces of no buttons which is great for resting or mistaps

because I may not hit it in the center

that being said im not selling my 60HE+, I wanna keep it its so adorable and I still love the 60% form

[wind tiger]

[buoyant solstice]

taps rapidly

[vivid elk]

Any way to pay with Paypal?

[buoyant solstice]

Get a friend to pay using one of the supported payment options, and then paypal THEM the money.

[upbeat berry]

mechanicon?

[buoyant solstice]

Yas

[wind tiger]

Yep

[upbeat berry]

so nyumis housemaid also there?

[wind tiger]

Idk

[bronze ravine]

Hi, I ordered an 80HE during the founder's campaign, just want to know if it's possible to switch the plastic case with a zinc now, and if that would impact the current delivery ETA

[buoyant solstice]

If you email us at [e-mail] sure
If it impacts your batch is impossible to say here.

[bronze ravine]

what should I include in the email ?

[buoyant solstice]

"Hi - I'd like to change my 80HE order to the PLASTIC COLOUR HERE"

[jolly tangle]

when will the final colors be uploaded to the website?

[primal portal]

colour, new colors ?

[red heart]

update on discord??

[fallen epoch]

gonna get spicy

[red heart]

i cant join cause i'm busy in another voice working on uni project

[primal portal]

work soon

[midnight iron]

Some quick screengrabs of the stone washed/granite looking raw sample

[agile crown]

[red heart]

god damn discord compression murdered those images

[plain dagger]

I think Discord has the auto muting

[midnight iron]

partially his camera - it's auto focus so trying to get it to focus on the entire board is tricky

[red heart]

nah third image has a bunch of compression artifacts and all

[primal portal]

plastic or zinc ?

[midnight iron]

That’s zinc raw sample

A new finish they tried

[primal portal]

Hmm

[ruby haven]

What's the 80 he update mentioned on x?

[midnight iron]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1192286276129390622

[ruby haven]

Oh ok, thanks

[desert quest]

Is the Wootstage the replacement for this weeks update video?

[fallen epoch]

Ye

[loud pier]

nnooooo

[trail jungle]

will we get an update video next week tho???

[arctic ice]

Thats 🔥🔥🔥i just swapped my keycaps to white few weeks back

Black ones look so good on it

[gleaming garnet]

My best part of the video comparing the responce rates in the wooting video is where they tape over "the competitors" to hide it but can clearly see its a steelseries XD

[left ice]

Hows the build quality of the raw zinc alloy compared to the plastic

[dim sierra]

1 more month

[oak jungle]

guys does this keyboard good for games like The Callisto protocol ?

the new row case looks waaaaaaaaaay better than the old sample I need to get it if they stick with the last one

[silk carbon]

Raw is way cool but I'm worried about aging

[neat trail]

Anyone have a TLDR; from the call that occured this morning?

I got a weird notification from discord and it immediately pulled me into the call but I was at breakfast

[tight cypress]

Raw case showcase and feedback kind of a thing #🌟│wooting80he message

[neat trail]

Thank you!

[fallen epoch]

also calders smile

[neat trail]

the acid wash making it have a stone finish is awesome

[fallen epoch]

i wonder how itll look when the zinc ages

[neat trail]

I'm still happy with my decision to go light smoke though. + calders smile was nice in the brief moment I saw it.

[buoyant solstice]

From what I understand the only long term effect should be a slight darkening of the metal.

[fallen epoch]

interresting

[neat trail]

Yeah as long as the passivation post acid wash is good; and it doesn't come in contact with any other harsh materials it'll age great

[polar kelp]

I mean its a keyboard not a cutting board so thats not that hard

[primal portal]

Any news on the optimum x wooting collab

[neat trail]

Some stuff like the cleaning agents you use to clean your house could be airborne and land on the keyboard. Since it's a porous metal. But I feel like the kind of person who buys a nice keyboard/accessories like this also give tender care to the rest of their stuff.

[tight cypress]

Still work in progress

[neat trail]

Don't be my ex and while cleaning my desk, removing my keyboard cover to spray it and wipe it down

[fallen epoch]

[primal portal]

So I should just preorder the 80he, cause I really need a new keyboard and I will need to wait longer then

[tight cypress]

You can order 60HE now and get Optimum case and keycaps once they're out

[primal portal]

Think my corsair 95 platinum is like 8-9 years old, can not remember

[primal portal]

Hmm, I like the aesthetic look, but not that many keycapd and I never built one

Though I found some peripherals, to replace the music keys and such

[tight cypress]

It's really easy to do - you only need a screwdriver https://help.wooting.io/article/177-putting-your-60he-module-together

[primal portal]

Idk…. cause I kinda need money for a new cpu/mobo/ram too and idk how much will the keyboard cost in total, I am „fine“ with 300ish zinc 80he, but the 60he after I buy the optimum case too

[fallen epoch]

What if i get hungry during the process and eat the screwdriver

[primal portal]

I already bought like 3 mices, cause my gpx was doubleclicking like crazy and they look nice too

[tight cypress]

Eat it afterwards - think of it as of tasty treat after work

[primal portal]

You wait until it comes out

[fallen epoch]

Ooh you got a point

[low token]

I wonder if raw 80he tastes like rocks

[weary wren]

When will new video update go up?

[primal portal]

Fffff, can not decide and the 80he also has 8k polling

If I didn’t need to move out and spend another money, I would have bought both that would solve my problem

[tight cypress]

Module is €155, whole 60HE is €190, case I think should be the same price as Alumaze, so somewhere near 300ish too for everything

[primal portal]

Hmmm and I buy the 80he later

[tight cypress]

That'll work too

[primal portal]

Ayooo, I am doing that

But after work and I may need some assistance

[fallen epoch]

80he 80he 80he

[primal portal]

Btw, does someone here have the stream deck from elgato, may get it to use as play/pause buttons and such, since now I am for sure to get the 60he

[slow lance]

does anyone have sound effects of an 80he key press and release?

[primal portal]

F it, bathroom break so I can go and order the 60he

[fallen epoch]

there should be a sound test on the 80he product page, have to scroll down

[slow lance]

ah thank you

[primal portal]

Well, 7 years still a while

So, there is no difference other than needing to built it myself, right or I am dumb

[fallen epoch]

thats right

only other difference is the pc plate with the module

[valid comet]

what is the next keyboard yoh will eat

[primal portal]

Nice, but when the optimum case comes out, do I need to do something beside swaping cases?

[fallen epoch]

yours

[valid comet]

dang 😩

[primal portal]

Wait, do I get the nice thingy ok the left side too, with the 60he

[fallen epoch]

the strap?

youll get one thats a black+white color

or wait no thats with the alumaze

[primal portal]

Nice, also it seems I will buy some lube, but not now, when I get the optimum keycaps and case

Wat

Ah no, the strap is yellow/black

[fallen epoch]

my bad, the black and white strap comes with the alumaze.

module itself no strap

[dim sierra]

if u dont buy wooting case theres no point in getting a strap because there is no where to put it

[primal portal]

Ok, then it seems that is all, probably getting a wrist rest too, never used without one

[primal portal]

Wat

[dim sierra]

only wooting case has a place to put the wooting strap on

[primal portal]

But I am getting the assembled 60he

[still pond]

it does come with a strap

[fallen epoch]

yeah that one does

[primal portal]

Ok, so its safe to go for this

[fallen epoch]

if you're wanting the strap yes

[hearty sky]

So what did calder said in the call ? Summary please. .. anyone ?

[fallen epoch]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[hearty sky]

Looks nice

[primal portal]

Ok, so all I need to do when the optimum one comes out is, to take the module out and put it in the new case, right

[fallen epoch]

yep

[primal portal]

Noice thanks a lot

Also lube, that is probably important too

[fallen epoch]

i think factory lubes pretty good, but if you wanna lube then sure

[primal portal]

Oh no, I am going broke

[fallen epoch]

Go big or go home as they say

[primal portal]

No home to go to, if I keep it like this, need to move out soon too

[fallen epoch]

oh no

[primal portal]

Also, what do I do with the old keyboard

[fallen epoch]

donate it perhaps? or find another use for it

[primal portal]

Even though it is 7 years old or so, still looking better than the ones of some friends, after 2-3 years

[mossy wadi]

What do you guys like more the pcr black or pcr ghost?

[upbeat berry]

frost

[mossy wadi]

Frost isn’t on website yet though

[upbeat berry]

it is

frost pcr and raw zinc dont have a preassembled version only module

[mossy wadi]

Oh

[upbeat berry]

or you buy the frost case separately as all cases are available

[mossy wadi]

I didn’t know that

I think personally I like just the pcr ghost it looks clean imo

[valid comet]

Module and tgen the case ye

ghost, black pcr, black zinc and white zinc all can be preassembled I think

[slow lance]

when does the keyboard ship? is it as soon as every keyboard is in the warehouse or every keyboard from the batch?

mine is the eu-batch

[buoyant solstice]

The entire batch arrives all at once. Then it is split up into each order, each order is packed and passed on to couriers to ship.

[tiny tartan]

Anyone having a mental breakdown because there hasn't been a biweekly update

[quasi crater]

yes

[primal portal]

24/7 in a mental breakdown, how is it without one

[tiny tartan]

[midnight iron]

You missed the update discord session earlier

[tiny tartan]

vc? or text

[midnight iron]

Was a discord stream

[tiny tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-emoji-gif-25749073

[midnight iron]

Calder showed the new possible raw case. Scroll up a bit and I posted some screenshots

Honestly literally everyone I know so far has said they love it. Might still be some people that still prefer shiny but I think this matte stone/granite finish will be really popular

[acoustic jasper]

i like that finish better, looks a lot more premium

like a norbauer

[midnight iron]

Yeah it reminds me of the expensive finish you get on some pens these days

[tiny tartan]

dang i was still asleep when that started lol

new finish looks nice

[midnight iron]

The stonewash look is super popular with premium pens and such

[toxic zephyr]

it's completely different from what the finish was sort of supposed to be

is this like how the zinc version is gonna look now?

[midnight iron]

Yeah, the stream was the check feedback because they suddenly were able to do this finish that they couldn’t do before

And plus side of this finish is they can make it as durable as the other zinc cases

[toxic zephyr]

think they are gonna see lots of case changes

not because I think it's bad, it looks so much better than the shiny finish earlier, but just because it's something completely different again

[tiny tartan]

any other worth mentioning updates?

[midnight iron]

Yeah I think it’ll go both ways. I think they’ll get a bunch of folks changing away but also a bunch of folks swapping to it

[toxic zephyr]

I feel the same

[midnight iron]

Even during the stream there were a bunch of people buying it because the new finish honestly looks nice even though it’s very different

[toxic zephyr]

I would be interested in the zinc case given this change for sure but right now I don't feel like justifying a 100€ case

[tiny tartan]

shiny was too shiny lol all the light reflecting of it. b looked radioactive

[acoustic jasper]

cheaper than the full aluminum alumaze i just remembered

[heavy badge]

can not wait

[acoustic jasper]

im not getting a zinc only because i like having an upgrade path

[midnight iron]

Before the raw case was very hit or miss but I think this new finish will be a lot more popular with folks who like the look

[hidden field]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR need raw

[hidden field]

tbf I hope they release yt version of raw, muted is not my type

dunno maybe I'll buy both if they release 2 versions

[midnight iron]

Unlikely they will. It sounds like they had way too many issues trying to solve the coating stains and now they have this new stone wash option that was very popular in the stream

[hidden field]

😭

[midnight iron]

I didn’t take screenshots but basically the previous version kept having issues of massive stains on the metal case making it look smudged or darker in spots permanently

[hidden field]

yea if they wanted to have perfect QC, it would led to 500$ each

[midnight iron]

Plus side is the new version lets them make raw without any worry of durability though

[toxic zephyr]

I think the raw case before was just a miss, simply. it looked awful and cheap in my opinion

[hidden field]

embrace chrome

[toxic zephyr]

the way the light caught it didn't do it any favors, needed to be more brushed to diffuse the reflections to not look so shite

[midnight iron]

Eh I disagree, a lot of people liked it but it was a hit or miss thing. You either like the style or you don’t

This new version i think will be a lot more universal appeal though - people love that gunmetal stone texture

[toxic zephyr]

the reflections revealed the not-perfectly-flat surface immediately, the edges were rolled over and everything just looked like it was bent and unaligned

[midnight iron]

Yeah and I think it looked good for what it was

[toxic zephyr]

that's fair

[midnight iron]

Yeah very industrial kind of look.

[hidden field]

I liked raw cause it reminded me this madmax style chromic look

[toxic zephyr]

if the surface was perfect I wouldn't have minded the reflections

[midnight iron]

I’m curious to see how much lighter the final version will be though because only thing Calder said was they had to fine tune the polish in the crevices and also potentially have a slightly more silver tone vs darker grey

[cyan sigil]

Did Calder say when they’ll finalize the raw case and get some better pictures? The screencaps could be enough to make me switch from plastic case to raw but I’d want a better look seeing as I missed the call

[midnight iron]

Nah, but sounds like it’ll be finalized soon because they’re running low on time to get the ball rolling on final version

[worn prairie]

What did they talk about on the live I missed it 😭

[oak jungle]

raw case only

[winter coral]

Can they do the Stone finish on black case also? That would be nice…something fresh

An "acid stonewashed" or "black stonewash" finish is a blade that has had an acid treatment that darkens the blade before it undergoes stonewashing.

@fallow spire Maybe you can think about this. Sry for adding staff directly. But time is crucial currently.

[buoyant solstice]

No? The Black and White cases have already been finalized and use a completely different finish to the raw case.

Also please don't tag staff directly.

[lilac plaza]

I missed the call?

[tight cypress]

By about 5 hours

[valid comet]

do you guys know if consumers will be able to get the modded xlat software?

[lilac plaza]

Oh I was sleeping still

[buoyant solstice]

Pretty sure it's already on their github.

You still need XLAT hardware though

[lilac plaza]

What was the announcement? I want some washed that would be sweet

[valid comet]

yep, gonna get an STM32 and some probes!

[tight cypress]

Showcase and feedback kind of a thing

[lilac plaza]

I'll be happy if they can update my order to black though I take don't want white now

Hopefully they will contact me back before they ship out

[buoyant solstice]

If you emailed us about an order edit, be sure to put it on hold as well just in case.

[lilac plaza]

The picture I see looks more bead blasted than stone washed

[lilac plaza]

Put the order on hold?

[buoyant solstice]

yes

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

[lilac plaza]

Ya it won't let me edit, tells me to email, then email says they will get back to me in 6 weeks...

[buoyant solstice]

That's odd. What's your order number?

[lilac plaza]

I see there is a transfer order button now, is that what I do?

[buoyant solstice]

No.

[lilac plaza]

US66454A

Oh wait I see it.

[buoyant solstice]

And you're not able to hold it? Very very odd.

[lilac plaza]

Not can't hold it.

[buoyant solstice]

I just did it for you.

[lilac plaza]

Thx

[graceful bough]

Is it possible that I ordered Wooting 80 he an hour ago and I still haven't received an e-mail confirming the order?

[pseudo parrot]

you might have made a typo during checkout, so just contact wooting [e-mail] and include full name, shipping adress and order number if possible they'll help you

[graceful bough]

i didnt get order number but i have payment proof and phone number

i think i fucked up ewmail

[pseudo parrot]

no problem you can inform them of that via email

[graceful bough]

I've already done it, I just want to know if they'll help me by having a photo of my phone's bank account statement and shipping address, and we'll see.

[weary wren]

Any update video yet?

[oak jungle]

there is no much update just talking about the case

we to wait till mid july at least

[weary wren]

I was under the impression they give videos every 2 weeks

[pseudo parrot]

typically yes but sander is on vacation so there was a live event on discord instead earlier today

[tight cypress]

And there were some

[hushed cliff]

why you stress,before buy you write phone number for courier,just wait for call

[wide loom]

It's there supposed to be an 80he update video today?

[runic canopy]

just about the case no much

[tight cypress]

Wootility v5 leaks

[runic canopy]

huuuh fr?

[tight cypress]

Yup, automatic profile switching depending on app

[runic canopy]

niceeeooooooo

[weary wren]

Is there a way to watch that live from discord?

[tight cypress]

I don't think there are VODs on Discord

[weary wren]

Kk

[dawn merlin]

did they just changed the delivery date of the 80he?

[tight cliff]

No? or didn't watch the livestream

Still this for me and have been it from the start

[tight cypress]

No changes, everything is still on track

Some Late July orders may show up as Early August now due to estimates readjustments, but that's all

[graceful bough]

yes, I know, but I was logged out of my Wooting account and I ordered a keyboard while logged out and nothing came to my email. but I wrote the address and phone number correctly

[hushed cliff]

i orderd all without any account creating and recived all emails and anyway i can dont care, because courier comoany will call you<wooting got from you money and dont care about shiping 😄

[oak jungle]

tf you saying

[oak jungle]

contact their support they wIll help you no worries

[buoyant solstice]

Being logged in or not has nothing to do with receiving emails by the way.

Everyone receives a confirmation email after checkout - unless there's a typo in the email, or you used express checkout and it was created using your icloud instead of gmail (as an example)

[graceful bough]

Yeah i know but i think i write wrong email

[buoyant solstice]

(Like a typo)

[graceful bough]

Yes typo

[gleaming garnet]

[digital elm]

That’s second batch I think

[quartz trellis]

yep

[grim tide]

y

[oak jungle]

almost there wE have to wait

[unborn plume]

Me too...

[gleaming garnet]

Ah well something to look forward to

[foggy lily]

where can I read the summarized version of this keyb? will be it ks20 but north faced?

[buoyant solstice]

I have no idea what you mean by "will it be ks20"

But the product page has -all- the info.

[magic path]

Hey, I saw the color of the cable but just wondering it’s gonna be a normal cable right? Not coiled right?

[eager sundial]

We getting an update this week or is it next week?

[buoyant solstice]

Correct.

[merry wagon]

I think they mean switches

[buoyant solstice]

Yes - But what do they MEAN by that 😄

[wet tangle]

Will there be an update video?

[buoyant solstice]

Looks like today's little Discord stream was it for this week. Sander's on vacation.

[quasi mortar]

To reiterate, aren't the switch options offered by Wooting Lekker v2s and Gateron Jades?

[buoyant solstice]

Mhmm.

[quasi mortar]

I've pondered "KS-20 but north-faced" for about a minute and have no idea what it's supposed to mean

[spring raft]

Will you give the wooting 80 that "hawk tuah" tho?

[jolly tangle]

theres a window on the switch. this is for the led of the pcb. this cN be top/north or south/ bottom

[spring raft]

Sry, it's everywhere I look, don't mind me 🤦

[spare jackal]

Don't know if this has been asked about before, but will the v2 switches that come with the 80HE be available to order with the 60 module aswell? Just wondering if i should just order 60he module now and order switches separately or if i should wait for it to be available? Will they even be sold with the 60 module?

[tight cypress]

Yup, they should be available somewhere near the release of 80HE

[spare jackal]

Nice! do you believe they will be added as an option on the 60 module, or should i just go ahead and order pcb now and get switches later on?

[tight cypress]

Pretty sure they will

[spare jackal]

Ty ty ty! Appreciate the quick response, have done some keyboards but never really touched wooting so looking forward to doing a proper build. Ty again ❤️

[frozen osprey]

will the optimum case and keycaps be a package or sold separately

[cyan zinc]

Just canceled my 60 for the 80 I need arrow n function keys wish it was a 75% tho

[digital elm]

It's a 77.5%

In between TKL and 75%

[jade widget]

Sounds like separately from the livestream

[cyan zinc]

Better than tkl ig

[mossy wadi]

Just ordered my wooting 80 🔥

[valid comet]

w

[mighty silo]

same im excited

sucks its 2 months away gimme it

[verbal solar]

Ordered it back in march so I’ve been counting down the days

[ripe crane]

I have never ordered a Wooting model in my life, I have only heard good things about the 60HE, so as my first purchase I want to order the 80HE. Should I order the plain black plastic version or the zinc alloy version? Can someone help me choose? I know it costs 100 euros more, but is it worth paying extra and buying the black or white version?

[spark heart]

Myb if you’d want a quality / coldish touch to the hands (idk but it’s metal so myb cold) . Also myb because of how it sounds, but so far each sound test was kinda scuffed

[ripe crane]

So you think for now I should choose plastic version right?

[toxic zephyr]

just pick what you want

[ripe crane]

The thing is I don't know what I want, everyone is fimilar with plastic keyboards, not everyone with zinc alloy and thats why I asked here if someone is able to help me with the choice

[toxic zephyr]

all it is is metal v plastic, do you like metal or do you like plastic?

[lime aspen]

I mean, imo metal will always feel better

But it's really up to whether you can justify the price for it

[ripe crane]

I know that in one of the videos they talked about whether the metal that is painted in any color will not wear out over time, which will result in, for example, pure metal being visible instead of white color

[lime aspen]

Won't really happen unless you scratch it I don't think

[ripe crane]

Okay, thanks for your help, I still have 3 weeks until I get home from work so I'll think about it, thanks ☺️

[eternal swallow]

Hello! Can we toggle off the LED bar?

[spark hound]

Yes

[west walrus]

will the white zinc alloy 80he come with a white cable? or is the default black?

[quartz trellis]

it's more of a black and white mix

[buoyant solstice]

White with black patterning. Or vice versa for the black case.

[west walrus]

If I order the gaterade switches with my wooting, should I buy the lube and tools to lube them. or will they come well lubed

[midnight iron]

*gateron, but maybe - it’s up to the person if they want to hand lube or not

They’re quite well lubed stock, but of course hand lube might be a tad better

[lime falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/gatorade-cool-blue-sports-drink-bottle-of-gatorade-gatorade-cool-blue-gif-27643187

[signal lantern]

Any one know when na champion ships?

[lime falcon]

early august

[livid schooner]

Consider the weight too! Zinc version is a lot heavier than plastic. In most cases, that's a plus imho

[gusty olive]

Purple rain best Gatorade

[spark hound]

Smurf water

[ripe crane]

I know, heavier cases are much better 🙂

[lime falcon]

not for everybody

[dim sierra]

Metal > plastic, can be used for self defense when needed

[spark hound]

Unless you carry it around

[dim sierra]

surely u can carry 3kg

[toxic zephyr]

pointless when you can just carry 800grams instead

and save the strain

[dim sierra]

but it will be useless for self defense

[toxic zephyr]

ha-ha

[sleek badge]

Has anyone modded any wooting keyboard in a way, that it would have kind of low profile travel distance. I mean limiting it from going 4mm -> 2mm or something like that?

[upbeat berry]

yes

people have glued ceramic beads to the underside of their caps before

effectively limiting the travel distance

[toxic zephyr]

beefy o-rings around the stem of the keycap would accomplish the same as well, little more mushy maybe, depending on the rubber

[sleek badge]

Yeah, I remember I tried some bigger and harder O-rings, but they still had enough give that it was mushy and sometimes when pushing hard, had too much give. Made rapid trigger / actuation act funky.

[sleek badge]

Is there any guide or video about this mod. Or has it just been here in discord some madmens have done it?

[upbeat berry]

its just been a single guy

he ordered ceramic beads with specific diameters from aliexpress and just glued them to the underside of his keycaps from what i recall. this would make the keycap hit the top of the switch early and thus bottom out

[sleek badge]

Cool. Yeah I get the idea. Just wonder what would be the smartest way to implement / try it. That sounds doable.

I have always absolutely loved typing and even playing with lower profile keyboard. Scissor switches or low profile mechanicals. But I also like the adjustable actuation / rapid trigger when playing CS2. Lower profile wooting, with total travel of 2,2mm or something like that would be perfection.

It would feel even faster, more tight and controllable. Especially for someone like me who always tends to bottom out when actually pressing a button.

[wispy trellis]

not allowed till the release i demand our video 😉

[topaz flare]

Does the dye sub PBT key caps from wooting allow backlight?

[sullen pollen]

Whats the Difference to the 60he+ is it worth waiting?

[topaz flare]

8000hz poll, 77.5% form factor, v2 switches, gasket mount, screw in stabilizer.

[topaz flare]

you only need to wait 2 more months

[left rover]

the 80he has screw in stabs???

[dim sierra]

60he+ support screw in stab too just have to swap it urself

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[left rover]

awesome

[small rune]

No video this week?

[pseudo parrot]

#👀│youtube_updates message

[dim sierra]

#🌟│wooting80he message

this week's update^

[small rune]

Thanks

[left rover]

I'm very excited for it to be released 😄

[quasi crater]

Same, my current keyboard is from 2016 and really needs replacement asap 😂

I found out i only use 2 out of the 9 numpad keys as well rn

[fallen gate]

I don't know if this is true, but maybe it will help you

[tight cypress]

My charts not being true?! Heresy

[fallen epoch]

Makes me want to play tropico again

[buoyant solstice]

[foggy lily]

for usb polling rate 8000Hz what is the best? use low latency usb2 ports or usb3? what is the max length of usb2 extensions then?

[pseudo parrot]

for 8khz usb 2 is sufficient. the cable that comes with the 80he is 2 meters in lenght. if you want to go longer maybe try a powered usb hub but im not sure how well it'll work

[low token]

@tight cypress can you copy paste usb sheet?

[tight cypress]

[foggy lily]

but sharing the same hub would it cause saturation?

[nova nexus]

Pinning Calslock all over the place

[upbeat berry]

unless you use multiple 8khz devices on one hub no

[nova nexus]

Unlikely, keyboards don't send lots of data, unlike mice for example

[upbeat berry]

but you prob wont be able to use the wooting 80he or any HE keyboard on a usb hub anyway

unless its an active hub with its own power cord

[wispy trellis]

why how much power does the 80he need ? as example lets do Passiv Hub from 10gb usb gen2 USB-C to 4x USB 3.0

[upbeat berry]

the 60he already needs at least 500mA up to 800-900 depending on led color and brightness

most usb prots only deliver 500mA

[buoyant solstice]

Passive hub? haha no way

[wispy trellis]

A USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port can provide up to 15 watts (5V at 3A) of power.

[upbeat berry]

if the device requests it

so your hub would need to request it and have its own power circuitry to properly balance this

im not even aware of any USB-PD capable hub

on the host end that is

[wispy trellis]

i looked a bit around and my curent passiv hub provides without a flaw 900 (logitech brio 4k)

max was 1400 than it didn't manage more

the problem i had with aktive hubs was that they sometimes don't remember the state (power of pc power on and the devices where passiv till i switched them off and on again

very annoying than i found that nice poassiv hub wich provided over 9000 wich was really great

[upbeat berry]

i hope that was measured with a usb power meter inbetween the hub and device

[wispy trellis]

since you mentioned i should look for a active one i did excatly that with this one

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Digital-Multimeter-Voltmeter-Capacity-Chargers/dp/B07QKKRK54

[upbeat berry]

also keep in mind the hub needs to supply more than 1 device otherwise why even use a hub

[wispy trellis]

mostly for having something on the table to quickly switch betwean hitbox joypad mouse or keyboards

did you guys messure the usage of the 80he? would be really interesting (i anawayy made room on my pc directly but it would actually be nice if it works)

[valid comet]

I like the wooting diagrams, theyre easy to follow

[upbeat berry]

as its not finalized yet no but it will be more than the 60he given well... it has more keys and an even higher scanrate

[valid comet]

isnt USB 3 technically able to accept a 24k polling rate?

[upbeat berry]

the 2he is somewhat special. it also overdraww the usb spec power of 500mA but it doesnt have the same ultra bright leds the 60he has.

[upbeat berry]

no usb3 has 8khz poll and then an interrupt mode

[valid comet]

whats the interrupt mode

[upbeat berry]

the usb device clobbers the usb controller and forcefully shoves its data in

[valid comet]

lol

[tight cypress]

USB3 is theoretically able to accept as much polling as CPU, device plugged into USB and cable allows, but it won't be USB standard compliant

[upbeat berry]

its the simplest explanation i got

[wispy trellis]

Interesting if the 80he really needs more than 900ma it would be more powerhungry than my External drive CRAZYg

[upbeat berry]

he sensors are hungry so are leds

even more so if you want 8khz

[wispy trellis]

i would hafe switched it to 2 or 4 since i think 8k is just some marketing and really not needet but i get why you provide it and its nice to hafe

[upbeat berry]

as mentioned our current 1khz board draws tons already

ideally he sensors just get more research into power efficiency

[wispy trellis]

yeah i get that well you can't hafe all HAHA

[arctic ice]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-call-me-phone-call-gif-18714908

[wispy trellis]

that's actually why i went from q1 to 80he even with disabled lights i would need to recharge at least every weak and it would all the time be deeply uncharged if not used fpoor longer... 😉

[valid comet]

Q1, Pro, Max or HE?

[wispy trellis]

Obviously he

Others are not comparable

[valid comet]

ye

which Q1 HE? Carbon Black or Shell White

[upper garden]

how do i check what kind of usb c i have? sorry im new to all of this

[valid comet]

keyboards usually use USB 2

[tight cypress]

Don't worry, if your device is from somewhere in the past... 15 years, then it's either 2.0 or 3+

[upper garden]

the reason i asked is because i have a custom cable mods usb c to usb a for my keyboard and i bought it like 2 years ago

[upper garden]

thank you for replying so quick

[tight cypress]

On USB-A it's easy to tell, usually 3.0+ plugs have blue plastic insert inside, but they also have more pins visible, 4 in the front and 5 in the back vs only 4 in the front on USB 2

[upper garden]

thank you i'll definitely give that a check

[tight cypress]

On USB-C, well, you have to plug a device of sorts to test it, since you can't tell by the port itself
But in most cases it should say what type of USB it is on the motherboard IO shield

[upper garden]

how do i get into the motherboard IO shield?

[tight cypress]

That's that piece on the back of your PC

[upper garden]

ooooh okay

so the blue usb a port is 3.0+ right?

[tight cypress]

Yup, that's right

[upper garden]

okay thank you

this is the board ive been chatting about recently.

The SikaKeyb CK75. This uses the Hemu pcb that supports true 8K scanning and actuation as low as .01mm.

Stock sound is incredible as it comes with jades out the box.

Gonna spend more time with it, but as of now, I'm truly

Twitter · Jun 23, 2024, 12:06 PM

[nova nexus]

I think that any company that claims 0.01mm actuation is lying until proven otherwise, which is a massive red flag.

[jade widget]

Weird layout

[upbeat berry]

all the HM keyboards claim it in general

they never claim 8khz scanning though just polling

[jade widget]

A lot of pinging noises

[spark hound]

0.01mm? how does that even work

ppl joke about the 0,1mm

[tight cypress]

Kinda interesting that all keyboards that claim 0.01mm have Jades on board

[nova nexus]

They're all made at the same factory

Is my understanding anyway

[toxic zephyr]

my thoughts are I'm sad wooting decided to brand 8k scan + poll as "true 8k polling" because now every competitor is gonna say that as well

[tiny tartan]

Apparently the housing is ass and makes a lot of noise when it's moved. Lol

[toxic zephyr]

and it's obfuscating the tech into a buzzword and makes it harder to explain for non-techies

[buoyant solstice]

Well.. we're not lying 😄

[toxic zephyr]

just say 8k scanning and 8k polling, that's all

[tiny tartan]

Time to monetize a licensing procedure for true 8k certification lul

[buoyant solstice]

We say true, because other companies keep lying by just saying "8khz"

Or even 4 for that matter 😄

[toxic zephyr]

well it's not that they are lying, it's just that they have 8khz polling but not 8khz scanning

[buoyant solstice]

I disagree.

By not specifying they are lying by obmission knowingly.

[toxic zephyr]

... that's just called marketing

you spin whatever you have in a way that sounds the best when put on a box

[buoyant solstice]

And so is "TRUE" 8khz

[toxic zephyr]

yeah and I hate it

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/holes-grandpa-thats-too-damn-bad-gif-15698581

[toxic zephyr]

I personally would rather have the technical data rather than a buzzword anyone can claim means whatever they want

[spark hound]

n = 1

[ashen pond]

To think you were marketing at one point.

[valid comet]

yeah 8k scanning is needed to benefit from 8k polling

[ashen pond]

And now you make stuff

[toxic zephyr]

yeah that's why I quit

I hate that entire field with a passion

[nova nexus]

This is the point though? If a competitor claims "true 8k" but doesn't both scan and poll at 8k, then they're outright lying and consumers should call them out on it

Granted, a keyboard can still scan and poll at 8k but have such dogshit firmware that it takes 10ms to send the data anyway

[wispy trellis]

just because someone is upselling doesent make the keyboard automaticaly bad it just leaves a bitter aftertaste

[toxic zephyr]

yeah but the problem in my eyes is a generic consumer doesn't know what "true 8k" means

[valid comet]

True 8k has to be the new bar

[nova nexus]

see this: #💬│general message

[toxic zephyr]

8k polling and 8k scanning is explicit and an inquisitive mind can then go "wait what's the difference between these things"

[buoyant solstice]

They don't know what scanning or polling is either so...

[nova nexus]

The generic consumer doesn't..... Mansen said what I was going to say haha

[toxic zephyr]

now it's just obfuscated into a buzzword and might not even think to question the nature of it to begin with

[valid comet]

i have a question

[buoyant solstice]

True 8kz is just as likely to "trigger an inquisitive mind" as anything. If THIS is true 8khz, then what are the other ones not claiming this?

[wispy trellis]

and that's moe of a problem those manufacturers mostly don't even understand what they provie and in the end its not a good keyboard 😉

[toxic zephyr]

to my eye "true 8khz" doesn't immediately seem different from just "8khz"

[nova nexus]

I would argue that "true 8k" implies the existence of "false 8k" which might prompt the inquisitive mind to question what makes it true

[valid comet]

the UwU is 1k scanning and 1k polling, but given it only has 6 keys to scan 3 micros and 3 HE keys, could it be possible tp do 8k scanning and polling?

[toxic zephyr]

as 8khz is 8khz, maybe some other people see it differently

[nova nexus]

Damnit Mansen you're reading my mind

[nova nexus]

It already scans at faster than 1k (I think 2k, don't quote me on this) but it is not possible for this hardware to poll at 8k

[valid comet]

that wpukd be awesome if we can get an update on it

[toxic zephyr]

you can't

it's literally not possible on the hardware side

[valid comet]

i mean no problem either way

[nova nexus]

The UwU is intended as the budget-friendly entry into Wooting tech, so putting a more expensive MCU into it that can do 8k polling doesn't make much sense

[valid comet]

oh I thought it used the 60HE+ MCU lol

[nova nexus]

Which also cannot do 8k

[buoyant solstice]

I think it does, yeah?

[toxic zephyr]

yep yep it does and it can't do 8khz

[buoyant solstice]

Or at least something feature parity? Might be a smaller one, due to the fewer keys and LEDs needed actually.

[toxic zephyr]

GD32F303

[nova nexus]

Gezondheid

[valid comet]

i was thinking it could be faster tho since it scans less keys? idk

[toxic zephyr]

GD32F425 for the 80HE only

[merry wagon]

UwU+

[valid comet]

beefy boi

[nova nexus]

It can scan faster, cannot deliver those scans to the computer faster

[valid comet]

I just bought mine

[merry wagon]

OSU people would probably be into that

[spring raft]

Will the 80He be simple plug and play with the cable included, or will I have to use a specific port on my computer (if I even have it) with a specific cable to get everything out of my future 80He?

[valid comet]

oh, scanning is a little more complicated than just reading

[buoyant solstice]

Any port in theory.

[merry wagon]

there is a cable included, and an adapter for USB-A if you don't have USB-C ports on your computer

[spring raft]

So it doesnt matter what gen the port is or so?

[merry wagon]

it does

[low token]

No one has usb 1.0 in their motherboard in 2024 right?

[merry wagon]

hopefully not

[buoyant solstice]

I sincerely hope not.

[crimson quiver]

some cheap USB hubs though i havent seen any for the past few years

[wispy trellis]

honestly why would you make it usbc ?? a Fits better for pluggin the cpomputer im not saying usb C is bad but most ppl will not hafe more C than a Pots on their mashine

that's one of the newer am5 boards.. ONE USB C

[spring raft]

Awesome, thank you. Just checked and I have both usb c and a from atleast 2.0

[buoyant solstice]

Because... USB A adaptor.

[buoyant solstice]

TWO USB C btw

[low token]

You have 2 usb c

[wispy trellis]

still doesent make it a good choise in my book that's either lazy or not thinking streight - i don't understand that decission

[crimson quiver]

is that a thunderbold USB-C ?

[wispy trellis]

it feels like welcome back to the 90.. who wants a adapter

[buoyant solstice]

USB C is the future. And we're allowing anyone to use that one USB C port they never use anyway for the keyboard.

Or use the simple adaptor dongle to use... USB A

[low token]

Amd dosent have license

[buoyant solstice]

You will literally never notice it being there 😄

[wispy trellis]

the future is not now modern boards hafe 1 or 2 usbc ports wich are mostly needet for 10gbts/s devices.. its not really going with the future if the userbase is forced to use adaptors ; oh well i will not use the cable so ANYWAY but still i don't understand THAT decisiion

[jade widget]

Mostly to get the dongle closer to your mouse though

[buoyant solstice]

Let me ask you this simple question - Do you use your USB C port?

[toxic zephyr]

it's literally the smallest adapter you can think of

[wispy trellis]

4k Logitech Brio YES

[buoyant solstice]

Then you are a rare breed 😄

[toxic zephyr]

you won't even notice the end of the cable has an adapter, definitely not when it's.... behind your PC

[wispy trellis]

for 4k cam its ~~needet ~~nice and its my only port

i would use the 2nd one for a HUB since its good for hubs..

[spring raft]

Dumb question, but if i would need to use the adapter, it wont scale off any functions from the keyboard right?

[buoyant solstice]

If a dongle adaptor like this is a deal killer for you, then that's your prerogative. I doubt most people feel that way.

[buoyant solstice]

No difference.

[crimson quiver]

with a bit of soldering to the test pad you can bring the USB-Micro to the Two HE

[low token]

My usb c port is used by wave xlr

[wispy trellis]

no dealbreaker but i think a sad ecission and most ppl are forced to use the dongle 😉 or lets say it otherwise blocking a 10GB'/S port for a keyboard is stupid... it doesent sit right with me..

[tight cypress]

USB-A SS10 is also 10GB/s

USB 3.1 Gen 2 aka USB 3.2 Gen 2x1

[wispy trellis]

is this the cable coming with the 80ßhe? no right it's a streight one without coil - it just feels strange i highly doubt it s a good decission like i sayed i feel it's a waste using that one for it and i don't like dongles planned anyway to use my own cable

[low token]

Ye

[pseudo parrot]

i wish my motherboard came with more usb c ports, but nice that 80he comes with the dongle

[low token]

Buy expansion card

[buoyant solstice]

No, it is our coiled cable. I used it as an ecample of the dongle.

[pseudo parrot]

its fine dongle works

[valid comet]

i like the move to C to C and adapters personally

by default I have the adapter on and in an A port

[spring raft]

Will there also be a keycap/ switch puller included with the 80he as it was with 60He.

If you can mention every accessory included with the 80He I would be a happy lad.

[valid comet]

and if I use a laptop or handheld, just unplug it and leave it in the c port gg

[pseudo parrot]

yes there will. puller is eventually coming to all boards to my knowledge

[valid comet]

yes either a white or black one

[wispy trellis]

This is AM5 MSI one of the newer boards - like i sayed it's a waste but as stated most ppl can use dongle it just doesent feel clean for me

[buoyant solstice]

Then you can always buy a custom cable that goes C to A (from a third party)

[valid comet]

with the right gauge

[tight cypress]

Wooting could sell their USB C -> A cables wink wink

[low token]

Or use 60he cable

[low token]

With usb c dongle

[valid comet]

or get tge wooting cable kit

got food

[wispy trellis]

i will manage HAHA it just leaves a bit aftertaste for me that's all i don't see the logic there but o well i use it if it's a nice cable for my hitbox 😛

or for charging my phoen if it is good for that

[valid comet]

charging phone with coiled cable lol

[low token]

Charging in style with 150€ cable

[ashen pond]

I love the amount of ports ☺️

[spring raft]

I guess it's personal preference, but anyone here with experience with both the lekker v2 and gateron jade switches?

I went for the Jade ones and I'm not sure they would be the best choice?

[ashen pond]

I'm sick of motherboards skimping out on ports

[buoyant solstice]

The V2 switches don't exist outside of Wooting staff.

[wispy trellis]

oh YEAH.. i wished my board had that and im currently just vbarely hafe enugh

[valid comet]

anyone know an X670E ITX board with many USB ports

[quasi python]

Just buy a usb c hub😂

[wispy trellis]

hubs are never as good ..don't even ask my jurney of buyng 20 hubs.. and returning 19

[pseudo parrot]

you want only usb c go buy a mac

[quasi python]

Ofc i use a thunderbolt 5 hub

[valid comet]

or asrock Z890 LOL

[spring raft]

You mean that you could only buy those from you guys or?

[pseudo parrot]

that looks so juicy wow

[quasi python]

Yeah just not buying cheap stuff😅 returned many cheap

[valid comet]

i need more ports

[wispy trellis]

there is NO premium brand available for plain hubs and i don't want a dock..

[valid comet]

MORE

[ashen pond]

Oml

[spring raft]

What switch would you go for personally, the lekker v2 or the jade?

[buoyant solstice]

I'm obviously biased - But I only have V2's so I can't compare with Jades personally.

[vapid chasm]

where will my name be on the wooting website?

[spring raft]

I have cherry mx Brown switches in my really old keyboard.

Does anyone here know how those compare with the lekker or gateron jade switches?

[valid comet]

I personally eould stick with Lekker v2s probably because I like the full 4.0mm travel

and in software but idk ill see when I try the jades too

[spring raft]

Yeah I was thinking about that too. If changing from 4 to 3.5mm would be a big deal.

[valid comet]

ye if wooting makes a closed bottom switch make the rage 4.0mm and not 3.5 so it lines up with their software and lekker switches

[wispy trellis]

lekker are technical better than jades the only thing whichh i don't understand is why not boxed for v2 and maybe 2 staged springs as option (the later can be changed so theres that)

[tight cliff]

Had Cherry MX Brown at first on a board then on my second build i went with Akko Lavender Purple & Jelly Blacks and now i just use Lekkers (L60)

[spring raft]

So whats your conclusion since you've used both cherry MX Brown and lekkers?

[spring raft]

Lekker l45 or l60?

[tight cliff]

One is Tactile and the other Linear, i do enjoy the Lekkers more but it's preference, wish there where some silent HE switches

[wispy trellis]

only difrence there is spring weight so both

[spring raft]

So l60 would be the more heavier ones and more like the cherry mx Brown I guess?

Also, am I able to change my preorder now from the gateron jades to The lekker l60 switches instead, since they are at a different price and maybe yhat will change my expected delivery time?

[tight cliff]

The Lekkers are more like MX Reds but not quite

[spring raft]

Are you using the l60?

[tight cliff]

Yes with actuation point at 0.4mm

[spring raft]

Ok, thanks guys. I think that you have convinced me to go for the lekker v2 l60 instead then.

[tight cliff]

I've been thinking of grabbing the L80 springs to swap out in the L60

[spring raft]

Any wooting staff here? Can I either change my order from gateron jade switch to The lekker v2 l60 switches without it causing my order to arrive later or can I simply add the lekker v2 l60 to my order?

[tight cliff]

People still like the Jades for their sound and feel

I only have the Lekkers in my order though will be nice to test the difference between current v1 to the v2

[spring raft]

Yes, I've read good about them. But the change from 4mm travel to 3.5mm sounds wrong to me and might affect so it dont line up with the software on the wooting?

[tight cliff]

The software handle them fine nowadays

[buoyant solstice]

It's still a limit though, if you use analog

[tight cliff]

Yes

[spring raft]

A limit how?

[buoyant solstice]

You lose .5mm of analog movement.

[spring raft]

Yes, but is it only like the feel of not going down 0.5 mm deeper or will it somehow affect the software in some way? I guess I will need to go in and change manually so the Keys will bottom out at 3.5 mm instead of 4mm atleast?

[buoyant solstice]

Less range, less sensitivity.

[spring raft]

Can I either change my order from gateron jade switch to The lekker v2 l60 switches without it causing my order to arrive later or can I simply add the lekker v2 l60 to my order?

[buoyant solstice]

Email us at [e-mail]

[jade widget]

Yeah but they make good clack noise

[spring raft]

Ok thanks, will do. Will I get a respond / fix fast or how does it usually go?

[proper dew]

People with the most patience are rewarded by priority in service

[spring raft]

I was asking because I wanted to keep my estimated delivery time if they are able too ...😅 It will arrive when it will I guess.

[valid comet]

hey just wondering, will the 80HE have different plate types for sale on the aite down tge line?

[toxic zephyr]

again, who gives a shit when you can't see it

you're just complaining about a pointless thing behind your computer where it's hidden anyway

[lime aspen]

Don't need to change bottom out

You just lose 0.5mm of range for the analog(controller) mode

The keyboard calibrates itself so that everything else is fine

Pretty sure the actuation point is more of a % thing and 3.5mm for jades reads as 4mm in the software or something along those lines

[wispy trellis]

adapters might introduce signal degradation or latency.; Longer cables or cables of poor quality can introduce latency and reduce signal integrity, which can impact high polling rates. This can add up ; and sometimes stuff simply flips ou.. and i don't go premium to put a adaptor in my rig; you can hafe the most astroshiouc riug but i don't the stup is clean PERIOD

[buoyant solstice]

[valid comet]

yeah thats kinda the only reason I dont like jade switches

[wispy trellis]

• they bottom out .. since they are not punched out

[lime aspen]

Tbh I never use gamepad mode so it's gonna be a complete non issue to me

[valid comet]

and how I pray one day wooting will make 4.0mm travel before the closed bottom surface

how do you say Jade in dutch

[lime aspen]

I've tried gamepad mode once, and without a doubt prefer just.. using my controller

[valid comet]

knol?

[lime aspen]

What

[spring raft]

Feels safer to atleast start out with the lekker v2 l60 and try them out first.

[lime aspen]

Nothing unsafe about going jades at all

[valid comet]

its just a name idea for if wooting ever manufactures a closed bottom 4.0mm switch lol

[lime aspen]

Basically every single person that tries them never goes back to lekkers 🤷

[lime aspen]

Ah

[buoyant solstice]

except for your wallet

[lime aspen]

Real

I'm glad lavenders are a bit cheaper than jades

[valid comet]

yeah, i mean despite people saying 0.5 does nothing, it probably will, like look at how many switches feel, sound, and look different lol

[lime aspen]

It probably feels a bit different but aside from gamepad mode they are functionally the same

Actuation points work just the same software auto adjusts for the difference, dks works fine, rt works fine

[idle depot]

Do lavendars affect the RGB?

[lime aspen]

They have a translucent pink top housing so probably slightly

[idle depot]

Like does the housing tint the lights purple if the lights are white

ah ty

[buoyant solstice]

If the top housing is not clear transparent? Yes.

[lime aspen]

I already used pink rgb so lavenders will look no different/even more pink

[idle depot]

ultimate pink setup

[lime aspen]

Mines just white with pink rgb

still cool tho!

what kind of ultrawide

[verbal solar]

they old old

[upbeat berry]

i can sort of see myself using 2 of my ultrawides but a third would be uh... no

i wouldnt even know how to mount the third one lol

[verbal solar]

the lg ultragear 34 850 sth

[low token]

Perfect racing sim setup for cheap

[verbal solar]

so ips, 34" 3440*1440 160hz

[upbeat berry]

ah 21:9

[low token]

Get big desk

[verbal solar]

they are prob really cheap rn

[upbeat berry]

the issue isnt the desk space.. id need 3 monitor arms

[dense ridge]

the best monitor for me 🙂 27 inch oled 360hz! but it cost 800 euro!!!!

[verbal solar]

my 2 cent is, don't skimp on monitor arms, get some good rated gas arms if possible

my arms were like 200$ ea but damn if they arent great

[upbeat berry]

well i got an ergotron HX cause i couldnt find another good monitor arm supporting 45lbs or 20.5kg

[merry wagon]

I grew my own arms

[low token]

Because it is qd oled

[low token]

Rich guy

[upbeat berry]

"rich"

[verbal solar]

🤝

[merry wagon]

they'd probably go for like 50€ or something

[upbeat berry]

yes an ergotron hx is 300bucks but i also cant just hang it from wires from the ceiling tbh

not to mention how low the included foot is (and it would take up tons of desk space)

[dense ridge]

u are paying 300usd+ for a monitor foot.. what do you do for living 🙂 ?

[low token]

Oh u have samsung oddysey uw

[upbeat berry]

ye g9

i hated 21:9s when trying

[low token]

Thats explains why you have ergotron

[upbeat berry]

so i wanted 32:9 to perfectly replicated 2 16:9

all of that only for no bezel

lol

[low token]

What about 2x g9 stacked

[upbeat berry]

thats the plan

but ill mount the second one upside down to get minimal bezel

[low token]

He works in small company that makes plastic metal stuff

[upbeat berry]

still unsure where to put the second monitor arm foot

[jade widget]

Damn that's a lot of monitor

[upbeat berry]

i mean i could use a nice big monitor to watch oppenheimer on loop on

or the godfather

or both

[jade widget]

I'm thinking of just getting a 32" for everything

[low token]

I saw guy with monitor stand with 2 mounts points for g9

[upbeat berry]

jesus

id imagine a hard mount one though as in not adjustable in position

unless you like loosen some stuff and move it

[low token]

Yes I told him hes crazy

[dense ridge]

the monitor of tony 🙂

[low token]

Yes it is not adjustable

[verbal solar]

too wide for me

[upbeat berry]

except i dont use it as weird as that and sit way further back

otherwise its too big

[jade widget]

The ergotron lx looks pretty nice, I'll probably pick one of those up when I stop spending all my money on keyboards

[dense ridge]

for me too 🙂 i am playing cs already almost 15 years and its unplayable on this monitor

[verbal solar]

good arms will only benefit you

[dense ridge]

27 inch is the maximum for me

[verbal solar]

being able to effortlessly move the monitors around is very comfortable to me

[simple saffron]

but like what if you want to game and be able to read a discord chat at the same time

[low token]

@upbeat berry have you tried racing sim with it or you are more vr guy

[upbeat berry]

i play ffxiv

lol

and cookieclicker

very demanding games

[jade widget]

Yeah nice quality of life upgrade, I need to do the same for my mic arm

[dense ridge]

@upbeat berry u dont play any shooter game right?

[upbeat berry]

only single player if at all

like when i rebought cod mw 2019 on steam a few weeks ago and replayed it only to notice 1 mission in i already played it on battle net

[jade widget]

Spend all this money to mainly play old school runescape

[low token]

Thats very demanding do you have 4090 liquid cooled and 9 7900x3d and 128gb of ram to run it?

[upbeat berry]

i wanna but rn ffxiv takes up my time

[upbeat berry]

no

my 2080ti is dead though

rip my beloved

[jade widget]

I've had a group ironman going with my buddies for 2 years now we still pretty active

[low token]

So you got only 5fps?

[verbal solar]

ye a good mic arm is also cozy

[low token]

Founders edition ?

[upbeat berry]

nay

zotac amp extreme

[dense ridge]

Tony gonna take this one?

new oled version of g9

[upbeat berry]

how new

[low token]

Nah founders was beutiuful

[upbeat berry]

mine is qled or smth idk dont care

it only runs at 60hz anyway

[verbal solar]

i use this one, works really good for me

[upbeat berry]

i couldnt use that one now that i learned the true power of the rode PSA1

unless that arm also has some cable channel included

[verbal solar]

ya you can route it through the back of it

[simple saffron]

60hz looks so slow now that I'm used to 240

[upbeat berry]

but where does it come out

[verbal solar]

th,, image will not load, but you route it as following, enjoy smol picture

[upbeat berry]

ok better than expected but not as nice as the psa1

although prob easier than the psa1 as well

[jade widget]

Idk if I can spend twice as much on a mic arm then my mic, guess I gotta upgrade both

[low token]

What about elgato wave low profile

[verbal solar]

the psa1 looks gud ye

[upbeat berry]

well it looks good when you pull the xlr through its frame so you dont have uggly velcro

[upbeat berry]

idk

[verbal solar]

th,, elgato one looks real expensive for very limited movement

[upbeat berry]

what kinda joke is that low profile arm

the fudge

[verbal solar]

this locked bottom would piss me off, for 100$ its just a no for me

[upbeat berry]

i dont even know why youd want the arm folded up to take up crap tons of desk space

[verbal solar]

but yeah if it fits your usecase, might as well try and see if you like it i guess

[pale coyote]

the woot80he comes with a cable right? there's an option for a 50dollar cable.. I'm guessing thats just a more fancy/longer one?

[upbeat berry]

correct

[pale coyote]

2nd question.. if I order now it says arrives at warehouse mid august.. but I know there's been ALOT of preorders. so should I expect to be waiting awhile?

[upbeat berry]

im unsure what you mean?

that date is when a currently placed order of yours would arrive at the warehouse

[pale coyote]

should I expect a backlog of orders for months beyond the release date?

[verbal solar]

i forgot i even ordered until recently

[upbeat berry]

and in a later step you see when you receive it

[low token]

Well main goal of low profile is freeing space and not having mic above

[upbeat berry]

sold out batches arent shown as estimates unless your order is part of the batch

[upbeat berry]

if id use that arm... my desk would have less space

[low token]

They have non lp arm

[upbeat berry]

same

[verbal solar]

is th,, kampioen the chad batch?

[upbeat berry]

but rn it folds up to barely less than the desk clamp

so it doesnt waste more desk space

and when in use it nicely goes above everything on my desk including whatever i have on it alredy

like idk how it could take up less space

[low token]

Trow away trash

[upbeat berry]

what trash lol

[verbal solar]

describe taste of battery

[upbeat berry]

uh no

[fallen epoch]

My psa1 would def give me more desk space than a low profile arm

[jade widget]

Optimumtech can probably explain what his use case for it was for the low profile mic arm (around 8:30)
https://youtu.be/hfqCVAXjDRM

[verbal solar]

Can any1 time travel me to the 80% release?

[fallen epoch]

No :)

[verbal solar]

Gg

[low token]

I guess for your use case non lp would be better

It is compatible with most mics

[upbeat berry]

it has one of those normal screw for mic stuff

which for me holds a spider shock and then that holds my mic

hold on i just noticed were not in #🔌│tech

god dang it

[fallen epoch]

Classic

[mighty silo]

I have this elgato LP mic arm and its awful. It swings and doesnt stay in place unless its in a certain spot

[low token]

You know you can adjust it? Mine stays where I want

[mighty silo]

I have it on my elgato wave 3 mic and I was just looking into getting a dif one but idk which one id get this ones bad tho

[mighty silo]

Mine stays if I keep it straight in front of me but if I push it to either side or try extending it straight out it swings back and hits my monitor

[low token]

You have 2 tension screws

Adjust 1st one

[mighty silo]

The one that kinda connects the 2 pieces together? I made it as tight as it can go but it only changed how hard it is to move it up and down

the problem is the main piece thats connected to the table swings side to side and doesn't stay in place and it kinda slouches downward

[idle depot]

I think he only did it to hid behind his monitors

[low token]

@mighty silo try 2nd one

[mighty silo]

thats as tight as it can go too that only affects how easy that part is to move up and down ill show u what it does in a min

[idle depot]

Is elgatos qc good?

[low token]

Alr but lets go to #🔌│tech or dm

@mighty silo

[verbal solar]

I wanna go when it arrives

[upper garden]

anyone have suggestions for 3rd party keycaps? Looking for some for my wooting 80He

[valid comet]

cant go wrong with a set of WoB or BoW

[lime aspen]

BoW>>>

[karmic oak]

[random vortex]

Hey, I know that 8K mouse can cause performance drop due to higher cpu usage, is this something I should be worried about when it comes to keyboard ?

[fallen epoch]

Nah, you wouldnt need to worry

[random vortex]

Ok thanks !

[buoyant kite]

@wide loom sorry, couldnt resist

😦 if you reload discord it has the correct order

[midnight iron]

It’s fineish. The earlier lp mics had some issues but they improved and fixed them in later releases

Main issue with early lp mic was the poor magnets on the cable routing plates, but it’s been fixed in more recent releases so it no longer pops out

[upper garden]

whats that?

[valid comet]

white on black or black on white

[upper garden]

you can use a 3rd party cable (as long as its 3+) for the 80he and still get 8k polling correct?

[upper garden]

oh i see im trying to find website that sell nice keycaps

all i know is amazon and its alright

[valid comet]

wuque and kbdfans have nice sets

[upper garden]

thank you i'll look in that

[valid comet]

no problem

[upper garden]

im new to all of this so sorry if i asked dumb questions. But the lekkers L60 switches will fit any double pbt keycap correct?

[harsh agate]

wait what

that’s funny

[buoyant solstice]

Basically, yes.

(This is our old TKL wristrest, so it doesn't fit the 80HE perfectly. Still waiting for the 80HE wristrest - which sadly doesn't come in concrete grey 😄 )

[upper garden]

i got a black wrist rest for my 80he preoder but the blue or white looks so nice

[spark hound]

How is the fit height wise?

[upper garden]

ima head to bed, goodnight everyone 👋

[buoyant solstice]

Almost flush with the 6 degree feet, which is kind of surprising. If I wasn't already ordering some stuff, I wouldn't have bothered buying another wristrest.

[topaz anchor]

Am i the only one who keeps his keyboard almost on the edge of the desk so no room for wrist rest

[buoyant solstice]

You'll learn to embrace the wristrest as you get older 😄

[ornate jasper]

How old

[toxic zephyr]

love the led colorway actually, very soothing

it calms my heart

[toxic zephyr]

600 years

[upbeat berry]

well more like when you fudged your wrists at the age of 25-30 and prob have carpal tunnel as well

[buoyant solstice]

[jade widget]

Had to try out my keycaps I got for the 80he on my work keyboard

[buoyant solstice]

Loading, Ready, Run

[sharp ermine]

i ordered them for the 80 he this morning i noticed a reddit post when many peoples were saying it's not compatible then gateron confirmed it, i went to cancel the order but they alreayd shipped it lmaoo

in case someone ordered them too cancel

[lime falcon]

jades are compatible

where have you read that they are not

[buoyant solstice]

This is not a "regular" jade switch

[lime falcon]

oh what even is this

mini version

[buoyant solstice]

THIS is a regular jade switch. Fairly obvious visual difference 😄

[lime falcon]

yea havent noticed at first these are different

[tight cypress]

Mini N will be compatible, Mini E have different polarity

I'll have to update switch chart a bit

[spark hound]

No wristrest?

[buoyant solstice]

Not sure I follow.

[valid comet]

Arent they KS-37 switches tho

Mini N is for wooting KS-20, Mini E is KS-37 for Q1 HE for example

[sharp ermine]

ye i thought it was compatible

i didin't really checked cuz my friend is the one who custom my keyboards in general, so i trusted him hopefully we found that post before using them on the keyboard lol

[shell monolith]

Any new stuff on 80he? I wasn’t online for a few days

[red heart]

The new finish on the raw zinc case was shown

Looks really good

[upbeat berry]

the "its not just another polished case" finish

[tight cypress]

Also
Wootility v5 coming

[midnight iron]

Blessings be to our new stonewashed raw overlords. A prayer of thanks will be held

[red heart]

I really want to get it now tbh

But ghost also looks really good

[midnight iron]

Now we need the ultimate endgame 80he color. Titanium stonewashed.

[red heart]

Titanium and glass, iphone 15 pro edition

[midnight iron]

actually a limited titanium + copper 80he edition would go hard

[valid comet]

You know what you just gave me a really cool idea

Titanium Chroma (heat blasted) then coated

[shell monolith]

Nicee

[midnight iron]

I actually don't know how they'd do a titanium color stonewashed 80he is the only thing. You'd have to alter the metal to get the titanium color somehow I guess, since most of the pens that do this colorway just use actual titanium

[valid comet]

yo uh can somepne please mill this titanium into an 80HE case

[midnight iron]

80he made from actual titanium with copper accents would be the coolest but also most expensive 80he lol

Like I think mode's sonnet copper bottom vs regular bottom raises their price by like $200

[valid comet]

I LOVE THAT IDEA, WITH BRASS GEARS MAYBE

the case alone probably like 3k

80HE would have to be endgame at that point lol

well, i mean the wooting lineup is all pretty much endgame

[real gulch]

rappy snappy beta soon?

[lime nova]

Any additional pictures of raw zinc case? Would like to see it with black keycaps

[tight cypress]

There was Discord stream, Calder showed how it looks with new finish and black keycaps #🌟│wooting80he message

[dense ridge]

So the raw zinc now is different then it was showed in computex? Or this one is just a prototype?

[buoyant solstice]

The ones shown above is what the raw case will look like.

Disregard computex sample.

[dense ridge]

Its more grey now? No?

[buoyant solstice]

It's more of a rough look.

[merry wagon]

so no more shiny raw ?

[dense ridge]

And the durability? Remains the same?

[buoyant solstice]

We'll provide a video update on this next? week I believe.

[midnight iron]

By same do you mean same as previous raw or do you mean vs other cases

[dense ridge]

Yeah as previous raw.. which u should clean regularly to not have some degradation spots on it

[midnight iron]

Then no. New raw is better durability, same as zinc black and white level

[dense ridge]

Oh, thats good 👍

It even looks better i think

[midnight iron]

Yeah I think stonewashed look will be waay more popular overall

[merry wagon]

will it still be possible to get the metallic looking version of the raw case?

[signal bloom]

Want a pink keyboard

Before delivery, the pink keyboard was introduced to change the white in my order to pink.

[midnight iron]

Nope. Not if they go with this newer version

The old metallic shiny version was having issues with dark stains from the coating though, which was one of the problems they hadn’t been able to fix

[valid comet]

are you still doing the cerakote?

[midnight iron]

I didn’t take screencaps but Calder showed it on the discord stream. It looked like those stains and darkening on metal pots and such sometimes

[midnight iron]

Nah not if they go with this new stonewashed version

[valid comet]

would be sick if you modded it with bronze accents
