🌟│wooting80he

[dawn merlin]

I just ordered a w80he

[buoyant solstice]

Yeah 🙂

[winged echo]

Arent they like 30+7 gf?

[shy heart]

thats initial force

ahh i just found it, 55g bottom out

wasnt on the gateron or wooting sites, found on milktooth

[winged echo]

Same I can’t use a rapid trigger keyboard without one hovering on it is a skill I don’t have.

L45’s would be the closest wouldn’t it?

[shy heart]

perfect, my current switches are 50+-15gf

so should be easy transition

[tight cypress]

Jades are 30~50g

[shy heart]

great

using keychron k3 pro with gateron LP reds rn

[tight cypress]

LP? So 30~60g over 2.75mm

[restive bay]

L45 is like cherry red

Might even be a bight softer. Will tell you in October

[winged echo]

I’ve used them before they are really light almost too light

[tight cypress]

L60s are way more closer to MX Reds than L45s

MX Reds are 30~60g over 4mm
L60s are 40~60g over 4mm

[feral jetty]

keycap suggestions for raw zinc?

[restive bay]

So its even softer? Great

[kindred mountain]

u mean me? or someone else

[atomic brook]

u lmao

[kindred mountain]

im not sure it'll fit, since normal mx springs in theory don't

but i will try my best whenever teh 80he shows up

[atomic brook]

don't break it lmao

tbf there are spare

[kindred mountain]

it should be fine

it either fits or doesnt

[buoyant solstice]

Regular MX springs 100% won't work in lekker switches. They simply don't have the wide enough diameter.

This is why we sell our own springs in the first place. 🙂

[kindred mountain]

i can break those cuffs

ill get that 1.5kg spring in there if the switch has to die for it

[kindred mountain]

unfortunately you guys sell light springs only, maximum 100g

[buoyant solstice]

I'll pass that on.

L200 or bust

[kindred mountain]

200?

thats still light

[buoyant solstice]

[kindred mountain]

im using 370g clickies for my main keyboard rn

[weary wren]

Video today?

[kindred mountain]

custom ordered clickbar and 300g spring

clickbar thickness diff

[kindred tendon]

hello <@&476752926044454928> hello is it liable to have a pre lubrication of the switches before sending my 80 he I would pay an extra of course I am afraid of doing it badly to see the switches degraded by doing it it would be a shame to take such a risk after so many months of waiting

[kindred mountain]

they come prelubed

afaik

[toxic zephyr]

yes

[kindred tendon]

i ve buy lub kit because on descriptif he say no lubrification

[toxic zephyr]

aight

[bright jewel]

all our keyboards come prelubed

[kindred tendon]

ok ty

i ve see some video test call take lub kit because they are not lube

[kindred mountain]

im gonna have to relube the springs when i replace them

[low token]

@bright jewel csgo dosent exist

Fix to cs2

[bright jewel]

im old skool

[low token]

I played csgo since 2015 ok

I know how open mic between switching teams felt

It was amazing

[hidden field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Hgo9k_0v4

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[shell monolith]

Socd sounds like a std for some reason😂

Or is it just me

[bright jewel]

its you

[hidden field]

#👀│youtube_updates me faster gg

[zealous oak]

Oh that was fast

[zealous oak]

Good job to the wooting team for making it available so quickly

[fathom helm]

does anyone know what happened to the 80he update which was meant to be on the 19th?

[bright jewel]

we needed to check some things with the factory

[verbal solar]

[atomic river]

Just ordered a pre-built 80HE, i really love the software for wooting and can't wait to join the community

[buoyant solstice]

[atomic river]

was going to be tempted to upgrade if they had pre built raw zinc lol

[buoyant solstice]

Unfortunately not. But - It is a few screws and a connector cable to put it all together. So definitely something doable by anyone. We'll provide an assembly video as well

[atomic river]

Oh that’s so cool that you guys provide videos for any beginner can do module. Will think about it, I assume I’d have to cancel my order

[buoyant solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0i0XVWM0ig
This is our video for the 60 Module for comparison. Very easy to follow.

[fathom helm]

thanks

[rain zodiac]

will the 80he be able to store more than 4 profiles ?

[north egret]

can humans hibernate for 2 months? Making sure so I don’t have to wait for my 80he

[coarse crest]

I’m in a similar boat, preordered on Sunday for the full white build and chose the Jade switches so I’m really excited after hearing how they sound in a couple videos. Early October is gonna be tough 😅

[pallid crescent]

Guys if i ordered the 80 HE module with Gateron Jade switches, do I need to change the stabilizers?

[buoyant solstice]

Sort of.

We include some long pole stabilizer parts you'll want to swap for the ones preinstalled.

So a partial change

[pallid crescent]

Does it support common stabs like the TX AP or Durocks ?

(screw in)

[quiet valley]

why is there not a 60He channel? sorry im new lol

[buoyant solstice]

Because it's not a new and upcoming product.

#💬│general and #🔧│keyboard_modding are for all of our products in general.
#🌟│wooting80he is because it's a pre-order, and people have a lot of questions for it specifically.

[quiet valley]

oh okay gotcha thank you!

is it worth getting the 80HE for any other reason if I like 60% better?

[sinful anvil]

unless you're gonna notice a 0.8 millisecond difference then no

[atomic river]

For me it’s the visuals

I don’t really like the look of 60% but the 80% is not too big, not too small

[drifting flare]

i cant wait for my 80he to arrive, early oct is so far 😦

[worn compass]

People who do aren’t people but ai who are trying to blend in and take over society!

[worn compass]

Not really

Could be worse

Imagine how long the people who bought in the founders campaign had to wait

[drifting flare]

yeah you are right

[worn compass]

Dw bud, I have to wait til October too lmao

[sinful anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-devastated-watch-watching-movie-gif-14922607200232575847

[worn compass]

70 days until October

[merry grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-the-simpsons-waiting-gif-4689298

[indigo crystal]

lol

[worn compass]

They had to wait around 6 months and we batch 2 orders have to wait only 3 months

[rain zodiac]

been 4 months for me so far

got around another 2 to go

[blazing pivot]

Does the 80he include a cable? From this screen it looks like it does, but once added to the cart it doesnt seem included but may be added as an accessory. Just dont wan’t duplicate cables :D.

[buoyant solstice]

All of our keyboards include a cable.

80HE does if you buy a case, or if it's prebuilt.

[blazing pivot]

Great, thanks!

[fallen epoch]

As soon as i see my keyboard ship im gonna be like

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/603743216910467114/1242260517616091166/fiend.gif

[shell monolith]

That car looks sad

[atomic brook]

nice car

[shell monolith]

Unboxing the 80he will be fking awesome

Sooooon

[lapis galleon]

bro is fiending

[fallen epoch]

Absolutely craving

[upbeat cloud]

just place order for zinc 80he , so nervous

[fallen epoch]

[atomic river]

im still looking at the raw zinc, so cool but can i justfiy the price 😭

maybe for the next wooting ill let

[fallen epoch]

Im getting a zinc case later on to swap personally

[uneven briar]

noob question here! 80he is same as the 60 with just mroe keys? like TKL style?

[glad fable]

Main points are that it has gasket mount and it has true 8k polling

[nova nexus]

Pretty much. Not entirely, but if your preference is for 60% keyboards then that's more important

[steep badger]

Are we still waiting for another update video or was the SOCD the only one?

[uneven briar]

i prefer the full size I use the numpad alot

[glad fable]

Then go with 2he :v

[uneven briar]

im asking if the 80 version is better and maybe if it will be available in full size

[icy cosmos]

No need to worry , you’re not buying a Rolex watch. The keyboard is going to be solid 😉

[glad fable]

The 2HE is a full size

[uneven briar]

yea i know but i mean.. im asking if the 80 and 60 are same features, like that true 8k polling

[icy cosmos]

The Gen 2, Two HE might be a few years away 🤔

[glad fable]

ahh

[glad fable]

pretty sure only 80he has that rn

[uneven briar]

is it a big difference? should I take the 80 and just get used to not use the numpad?

[steep badger]

You could get the 80HE and get a separate number pad from another company.

[glad fable]

well it's not something a normal being would notice in latency

[icy cosmos]

? Just buy a numpad of your liking

[glad fable]

but it's nice to have

[uneven briar]

well i dont understand shit in all that stuff but i always like to buy the best shit available 😄

[scarlet dune]

Numpad is a must

[deft imp]

Numpad is useless

[glad fable]

80HE + External Numpad ig?

[scarlet dune]

Nu uh

[icy cosmos]

In this case, the best shit is your preference. 🤔.

[scarlet dune]

Need numpad for fighter jet control

[shell monolith]

• the uwu xD

[upper garden]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-26861291

[uneven briar]

ill just keep another keyboard plugged for the numpad tbh.. and will use the 80 for gaming

[oak jungle]

1 x Wooting Detachable Cable
ordered I hope I could use the lights while using 8k with this cable yeah ?

[uneven briar]

so 80 it is! woot woot 😄

[glad fable]

Worth the wait trust

[buoyant solstice]

With this or the cable included with the 80HE

[icy cosmos]

It’s the latest product from Wooting.

[upper garden]

100% its worth the wait

[uneven briar]

im going away for 2/3 months so idc if it comes late.. will place order now and hopefully will arrive within those 3 months

[oak jungle]

no the coiled one

[oak jungle]

coiled

[upper garden]

https://tenor.com/view/shake-hand-dog-gif-11300778

[buoyant solstice]

...what?

No I told you that either cable will do that just fine.

[uneven briar]

the 80 comes with cable? it doesn't say

[buoyant solstice]

Yes.

[oak jungle]

yeah type c

[uneven briar]

cause it offers to add a cable to the order.. if it comes with one why would it ask to add another.. kinda sus 😛

[buoyant solstice]

Because it's a coiled cable that it's offering you.

[shrewd saddle]

you can use the default or pay for nicer coiled cable. up to you

[atomic brook]

c to c

with adapter

[oak jungle]

coiled looks clean to me LOL

[shrewd saddle]

I paid for nicer coiled cable. now i use 2 keyboards with 1 cable. its OP. Great cable. Good guy Cable OPOP

[glad fable]

Sounds like something Apple would do if they don't include the cable (They already don't)

[shrewd saddle]

All the Keyboards come with a default cable, including the modules.

[buoyant solstice]

(Also it absolutely does say it includes a cable on the 80HE product page 😄 )

[uneven briar]

coiled looks cool but will annoy me since its bigger haha, i like wireless shit so easier to hide the smaller ones

[shrewd saddle]

the coiled also has a straight attachment option. you get both. use either 😄

[uneven briar]

wtf is lubrication set im not gonna shove that shit up my *** 😄

[icy cosmos]

It’s like buying a car with options 🤣. The options can end up costing more than the car 😅. I am that sucker myself

[shrewd saddle]

your loss

[winged echo]

Bruh

[shrewd saddle]

Lubricating switches/stabilizers is a normal thing for custom keyboards. Its not for everyone. you don't HAVE to do it. You can use everything out of the box

[uneven briar]

im buying the zeekr x soon, yea those add-ons are fkin annoying.. its like basic stuff in 2024 but they charge u like 40% of the car value for it..

[oak jungle]

it's something nice to have and Wooting worth the support

[icy cosmos]

That’s how it has always been 🤣. That’s why I go after market 😉

[uneven briar]

its also nice to have hair 😛

[oak jungle]

that's hurts

[scarlet dune]

That is hurts

[oak jungle]

that's or that is ? or this is ?

[icy cosmos]

@uneven briar you do get discounts when you buy from Wooting. So I am lazy and went all in on the options (except the coiled cable)

[frail otter]

I’m back

[uneven briar]

no idea how to use that lub stuff and im lazy man, just plug and play

[frail otter]

2 years later 😎

[uneven briar]

if ill need it in the future im sure it'll be in stock

[scarlet dune]

Twas hurtiths

[icy cosmos]

Welcome back, where have you been?

[frail otter]

I’m the military :/

I am a free man who can play osu again

[icy cosmos]

Congratulations, have you saved up enough for an 80HE?

[frail otter]

How much is it I’ll prob get it

[icy cosmos]

I played CS in the military 🤣

[frail otter]

I played Galcon

[glad fable]

199.99 USD

[nocturne night]

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

[frail otter]

Sick

[nocturne night]

:D

[frail otter]

Lemme go do some Uber and order it

💀💀💀

[oak jungle]

uber is good for saving yeah ?

[frail otter]

I’m getting the zinc one

[frail otter]

It depends on gas prices

[oak jungle]

you live in turkey?

[frail otter]

United States

[nocturne night]

i got zinc black and 100g springs
you get a free cool case with the zinc ones

[frail otter]

Sounds good

[frail otter]

I gotta order the springs separate ?

[nocturne night]

nonono thats just extra that i replace myself

you get the standard L60v2 switches

i just ordered heavier springs on the side

[oak jungle]

I ordered the l35 I hope it doesn't feel mushy

[pallid crescent]

anyone knows if the 80he will support other stabs?

like screw-in TX or Durocks or etc..

[dense ridge]

Whats wrong with 80he’s stabs?

[tidal sleet]

Love that as soon as razer make a feature that is considered really good as far as cheating, wooting immediately copies that feature and implements it

[misty cedar]

it's not a complex feature lol

[pallid crescent]

i heard there can be issues with long pole switches, and just for preference

[misty cedar]

it's been around for over 20 years, I personally don't get the initial moral highround wooting took, I think they should've dropped right after to show it's cheating and it's not hard to cheat

[sonic gorge]

a#

[sullen sand]

Screw ins are compatible

[buoyant solstice]

Obviously - since that's what the board comes with in the first place 🙂

[kindred mountain]

btw to follow up on earlier spring discussions, do you have the spring specs in terms of width and height required to fit a lekker in case I want to custom order some?

[buoyant solstice]

Pretty sure they're in the #🪛│modding_faq

[kindred mountain]

at least at a glance I didn't see it but I'll look more in depth thanks

[buoyant solstice]

Hmm... we do have the dimensions somewhere for sure. Could ask in #🔧│keyboard_modding

[kindred mountain]

allright thanks, deciding if i go the 2HE route and get some 400g linears for it

[dusk nexus]

why isn't the frost variant preorderable?

[ebon lodge]

I find stuff like this funny asf

"In 2017, Samsung released an ad for its Galaxy Note 8 that specifically made fun of the iPhone's lack of a headphone jack. The ad showed iPhone users struggling with dongles and adapters.

However, in 2019, Samsung released the Galaxy Note 10, which did not include a headphone jack. This was their first flagship phone to omit the feature."

The same thing has happened here. lulz.

palpable irony

I digress but then what about the big tech companies for years advocating against piracy, then AI comes along and suddenly they change their fkn tune when they are getting sued around the planet for harvesting everyone's data, nah, what are you on about bruz, copyright doesn't matter now

hypocritical world

[buoyant solstice]

It is and has always been - as a loose case together with a module.

Gotta put it together yourself, but we'll be providing assembly guide videos.

[dusk nexus]

thanks, didn't even cross my mind to check for that lol

[spark trail]

@buoyant solstice any discounts for upgrading to 80he from 60? 🥹

[buoyant solstice]

Only if you were a 60HE founder. Otherwise the "discount" you'd be getting is for selling your 60HE on eBay or something

[spark trail]

@buoyant solstice I bought my 60he last year does that count as a founder ?

[nova nexus]

Nope, a founder must have purchased during the founder's campaign

[spark trail]

Ohhhhh ok

[nova nexus]

For the 60HE that was in October of 2021

[spark trail]

Oh nvm lol 😝 missed that mark big time

Ty

[nova nexus]

np

[midnight marsh]

Does anyone have a comparison or oppinion between the new Lekker v2 switches and the gatorade jade switches? I am not really sure which ones to order for the Wooting 80HE

[nova nexus]

Nobody has the lekker v2s in hand yet

[rose bolt]

Wooting, my birthday is at 25th of August, and I just saw this! Please make it happen 😄 😄

[hybrid inlet]

Are there any plans to release the magnetic wave keycaps for the 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

Not currently. It's a deceptively big ask due to the upfront costs of changing or adding to PBT moulds.

But definitely keep asking. We do gauge interest over time towards new products 😏

[hybrid inlet]

I would buy two of them, that should cover the cost

[sullen sand]

Whether it's an early or late birthday present you'll love it

[livid schooner]

At this point I'm trying to forget I ordered 80HE, so that when it does arrive, it'll be a pleasant surprise.

[knotty ledge]

I’m too tempted to buy the 60 as it’s in stock and since the 80 won’t arrive till October

[livid schooner]

You think you will find use for both when you'll have them?

If yes, then... DEW IT! 😄

[knotty ledge]

If I order the 60 I would cancel the 80 is there a significant performance difference between the two?

[winged echo]

You wouldn’t be able to tell most likely

Especially if you haven’t experienced a 60

Someone else feel free to chime in though if yall think otherwise

[proven plank]

weird are u in the us?

mine says mid september frownie

[modest drum]

Mine is early october

I was hoping there was no SOCD then people would cancel and I get it sooner

:p

[hallow ember]

if you write a lot or program I think 80 is a better choice.

[modest drum]

For MMO 80 is much better

[hallow ember]

only for some games such as dota, having those keys up there would help.

[digital elm]

Don’t order the board for its performance but its form factor, you won’t be able to tell the difference between 1kHz and 8kHz, but you definitely will notice the difference if you feel like you’re missing keys, so pick a layout that fits your needs

[knotty ledge]

okay thank you all!

[hallow ember]

doesn't 80HE support 8kHZ as well ?

[digital elm]

80HE is the only board that supports 8kHz

60HE and all the other boards are 1kHz

[hallow ember]

which switch does it come with ? L45 ? or L60 ?

[digital elm]

L60 V2

[restive kraken]

Really?

[winged echo]

Yes

[vast sierra]

PCR Plastic or Zinc Alloy

[digital elm]

Spoiler: you won't feel the difference

[digital elm]

Depends on your budget and which one you like

[rose bolt]

Nope mate, I'm in Europe 😄

[proven plank]

lucky!

[worn compass]

70 days until October

[proven plank]

mines 2-15th sept

which is hype bc my bday is the 18th

[restive kraken]

My batch is estimated for early October

[worn compass]

I got mine for my birthday

[worn compass]

Mine is estimated for mid October

[proven plank]

assuming u didn’t get in w the founders

[restive kraken]

Nah

[rose bolt]

I know mate! I'm already super excited just from the comms the "gang" has been giving to the community, and how responsive, dedicated, and passioned!

[rose bolt]

Where are you based?

[restive kraken]

My batch is EU-Brug

[worn compass]

I wish I did, I was debating so hard on getting in the founders or buying the 60he at the time 😭😭😭

[proven plank]

america! ~ ohio

[proven plank]

i waited until it hit 2m and i bought it

[worn compass]

Hamburger country! Nice nice nice nice!

[rose bolt]

Nice! So we both get a birthday present 😄

[proven plank]

im literally so excited to replace my gmmk pro

my switches keep dying LOL

i wish this keyboard had a knob

[rose bolt]

The only thing I will have for comparison is a Logitech g915 TKL wireless, which I enjoy, despite it's flaws

[worn compass]

Dude. I have a membrane keyboard. I’m more excited!

[proven plank]

im happy to see people going from goodwill finds to actual endgame

u guys r gonna be blown away

[rose bolt]

I was a membrane for many many years, the only thing I'm a bit afraid is that I've been a laptop software developer for MAAAANY years... so I'm used to low-profile

[worn compass]

Mine was from 5 and bellow and was given to me by a friend for free cuz he ain’t want it

[rose bolt]

I'm always googling for wooting low-profile to see if someone has modded or tried something

[worn compass]

Old pic but still shows it

My setup is is so out of proportion because of this keyboard!
$2000 pc
$400 monitor
$100 mouse
Shitty keyboard that I got for free 😭

[vast sierra]

Will there be Wooting 80HE+

[worn compass]

60he+ just added more screws for compatibility so uh… idk maybe?

[buoyant solstice]

Screw-in stabilizer support*

[worn compass]

Ohhh ok

[rose bolt]

I've been investing, but more in peripherals for content creation

[worn compass]

I’ve been putting money into peripherals for maximum potential and so I wouldn’t have to upgrade anything for a long while

[rose bolt]

I work a lot online (training, facilitation, video for courses), so I went first for functional stuff (camera, microphone, monitor, mouse), and when I could not upgrade anymore, I went for the gaming focus (mouse, keyboard).

Now I'm upgrading the content stuff again (just got myself a Elgato Prompter since I used a regular one and it was a hassle)

And on saturday my new chair comes (an ergonomic one), a gaming one would be fun but not relatable to my corporate audience 😄

[worn compass]

Wait.. sorry for the ping but what does HE stand for on wooting boards names?

[vast sierra]

Hall Effect

i think

[worn compass]

Ohhh that’s really cool

[grizzled stone]

what are the main differences in the lekker v2 switch in the 80he vs the 60he's v1?

[worn compass]

Mostly sound

But they pretty much work the same way

[buoyant solstice]

#📦│batch_updates message
Explained here

[serene dragon]

any creamy sounding switches?

[grizzled stone]

Right on, is there a used wooting market I should know about? all of the ones on ebay and elsewhere are super overpriced

[worn compass]

Because… they’re.. scalpers..?

Uhm…. I don’t.. think there is..

Sorry

[grizzled stone]

No worries

[late lotus]

Gotta send a time traveler fr

[worn compass]

Wooting preorders is a test of patience

[late lotus]

Shit didn't even say October while I was ordering. One of the extras made it go on backorder. Ghost case probably? It's not the lube that's in stock rn

[buoyant solstice]

#📦│batch_updates message

[radiant anvil]

when new video about the 80he?

[delicate ether]

Clean setup, I like the space you left for the iPad

[jolly tangle]

in your emaIL

[buoyant solstice]

https://hub.wooting.io/my/account
Create an account here using the same email and the order will appear within an hour.

[buoyant solstice]

It did tell you on checkout as well.

Preassembled or not doesn't matter.

[rose bolt]

Thanks mate! I normally use it as a second device connected to my meetings to see what the participants are getting, or to watch if my toddler is finally sleep when I'm gaming after I put them to bed 😄

[late lotus]

I know dude; I saw the optimum tech video this morning then thought I might get myself a birthday present. Late october. Not September, okay Im patient ig 😭

[twin kayak]

Are people using rappy snappy or SOCD? for A/D W/S

[buoyant solstice]

at the WAREHOUSE

[digital elm]

Whatever you want, but I guess most people are using SOCD, depends also on how you see SOCD

[south plover]

does SOCD work for the wooting 60he or only the 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

ALL of our boards.

[worn compass]

mine better have a specialized message from CAULDER himself OR ELSE!1@!34!1

[real wing]

im hoping programming on the 80he is gonna be great too

[worn compass]

like on the keyboard or you using the keyboard to program?

[real wing]

using keyboard to program. so typing experience is gonna have to be really damn good, but hard this til people start reviewing ig

[worn compass]

Stock 80He

if u don't like it I reccomend checking out the gateron jades switches

[real wing]

Yeah but the feel is another thing right

[worn compass]

for sure

[real wing]

i dont want to have a sub 80% tyipng accuracy

given the 60he is for gaming i hope they took typing into consideration since thats most likely why people buy larger keyboards

[worn compass]

stock keycaps are ABS plastic with OEM profile if you didn't know

[worn compass]

I chose the 80he mostly cause of arrow keys and F-Row

[real wing]

i tried the stock 60he for an entire day and i had a pretty bad typing accuracy but thats probably because i just was not used to the keyboard

[jade widget]

Stock keycaps are OEM profile

[worn compass]

OHHH

[real wing]

yeah the arrow keys are an absolute must for me

[worn compass]

got it mixed up mb, was researching keycaps all week

[south plover]

is there a way to use SOCD like the snap tap on razers keyboard, in which if u press D then A wont respond and if u press A then D wont respond?

[left swift]

yeah thats what socd does

these settings are the same as razers i think

[sullen sand]

Better because our rapid trigger is faster

[left swift]

yeah

[mystic jungle]

Zinc or plastic? 👀Prob gonna go diy I wanna get my own keycaps

[rare stream]

Right now I bought the Zinc one for the THONK

[vapid sierra]

What should I get between zinc or plastic I’m not going to make any changes to the keyboard and have the money

[undone sigil]

just bought mine on monday, hope it doesn’t take aslong as it says

[rare stream]

THONK

(zinc)

[mystic jungle]

What color u get? The raw looks nice but I was looking for keycaps and idk which ones would look nice with it

[vapid sierra]

That was my first thought I’m just scared to coating will scratch off over time is that true?

[rare stream]

I took black with white keycaps. I have the 60he rn but I missed the physical f keys and arrow keys.

i just sell this one to a friend for a nice price

[mystic jungle]

Looks good I don’t have a wooting rn this would be my first one

[rare stream]

lets just say its so good I dont mind spending another 350 for some F and Arrow keys and some extra THONK

[mystic jungle]

Haha yeah I was looking for a while but was broke but got some extra $ now so I wanted to get it. Just deciding if I wanna prebuilt or get the PCB and build it

[rare stream]

think the raw version is gonna take some extra time. dont see it in the shop.

[buoyant solstice]

We'll be providing assembly guide videos for the 80HE ready for when they ship.

[mystic jungle]

Niceee and I saw the raw is only available if you get the module

Same with the frosted plastic

[buoyant solstice]

[marsh glade]

What keycaps are people thinking that will match with the raw?

[rare stream]

Ah like this. @buoyant solstice , I think it's not highlighted enough in the shop.
Didn't know the extra options would be there.

maybe im just too newbie to the scene

[vapid sierra]

Should there be any concerns with the coating of the zinc?

[marsh glade]

They released a video on it I think

[vapid sierra]

Like it scratching off after a while

[rare stream]

there were some random release marks from the mold its casted in. but the CEO said its not too obvious.

oh not the raw one u mean.

not sure if they fixed the white paint already.

[vapid sierra]

Yeah I’m going to probably get zinc prebuilt just not sure whether I should get white or black

[rare stream]

im getting black with white caps

[vapid sierra]

Yeah I’m probably going to go with that scared the white case will get dirty over time

[wind hollow]

due to the foam padding in the wooting and the nature of the differences between dense metal and plastic a keyboard will sound less hollow and thocky on a metal keyboard (on average, certain circumstances can and will change this)

[wind hollow]

i currently have a light purple keyboard (monsgeek m3 purple) and i can confirm it sometimes gets pretty dirty due to sweat and dust however the part touching your hand is actually not the issue its the top and sides of the keyboard. Also you can just wipe it down with a slighty damp paper towel every couple weeks/months it takes a long ass time to build up

[still dawn]

what dies SOCD stand for

[buoyant solstice]

Hop on over to #⏬│rappy_and_snappy and find out.

[wind hollow]

plastic is a pain in the ass to clean tho, dust doesn't get off when you aircan it and it doesn't come off easily with a paper towel sometimes

[vapid sierra]

Yeah I’ll take that into consideration

[rare stream]

tl;dr maintain your sh*t

[wind hollow]

i mean yeah but i find some plastic keyboards are a pain in the ass to clean but metal makes the dirty parts more obvious

also metal cases don't slide when you play games so that's a consideration to make too (literally just due to weight)

[mystic jungle]

Just pulled the trigger

[buoyant solstice]

[mystic jungle]

Now I keep my patience for 2 months 😂

[rare stream]

zinc aloy shouldnt be super heavy probably.

[nocturne night]

zinc 80he is 2.2kg

[jade widget]

Heavy keyboard good

[fallen epoch]

agreed

[worthy wigeon]

No, that's impossible bro

[rare stream]

chonk

I lift 45kg radio units daily, should be fine.

[oak jungle]

over lubing the switch will make it super smooth ?

[plucky cliff]

need my keyboard alr

[shy heart]

i think imma do this

[mystic jungle]

I’m trying to pick out keycaps for my raw lol too many options

[weary wren]

you mean 3 months

[oak jungle]

69 days

not 3 months

[atomic brook]

NA

[burnt cradle]

Did anyone receives their 80HE?

[atomic brook]

the first batch is in 1 month

[mystic lance]

Cant wait

[steep badger]

I'm looking at getting this set

How would i know if the keycaps are cherry mx compatible? That's what the Wooting uses stock right?

[shy heart]

send the listing

[steep badger]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N6FNC6K/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A8LSVHV2Q155W&th=1

[steep badger]

oh sweet thanks

oh wait is that bad news

[shy heart]

nah

mx is what u want

[steep badger]

ah okay. thank you.

[dark cargo]

is the socd video the only video planned for this week ?

[steady escarp]

I think there’s a factory tour vid coming

[proper crag]

where do i get my role of 80he pre order club?

[graceful mica]

That's part of why i got it also

dont like to accidentally push my KB around

[graceful mica]

from wooting site

[whole badger]

Been away for awhile. any updates on 80HE release date? I looked through announcements but maybe I missed it?

[lament sphinx]

For NA, early September delivery date for founders, mid-Octoberish for pre-orders right now

[toxic zephyr]

you go to the hub and get your current estimate from there

[mystic jungle]

I wanted to ask, does anyone know if you buy the module with a case separately if it comes with all the foam and stuff I couldn’t find the answer in FAQ

[shy heart]

yes it does

its on the FAQ video on yt

one of the first questions

[mystic jungle]

Oh sick thank you I gotta watch that i wanted the raw zinc but it was only available with the module

[mild swift]

What keycaps y’all’s rocking with the wooting80he the white or black keycaps for the raw case?

[mystic jungle]

I ordered white but I’m prob gonna order some more

[mild swift]

What case y’all’s chose white black or raw?

[mystic jungle]

I got raw I kinda want to pair it with something like this

[mild swift]

Been tryna debate over the two cuz white almost looks a little weird with the raw case like it doesn’t match it like like white with grey and the black idk how I feel about that either the keycaps seem easier to match with the black and white neutral cases

[mystic jungle]

I want some gray keys

[mild swift]

Like the ones TenZ has on his Wooting but in grey?

[mystic jungle]

Yeah I feel that I just bought the white ones cause they were like 50% off ordering the module so I mine as well

Oh I’m not sure what he’s got I gotta look that up

[mild swift]

I have to find the link but some guy sent it to me from the TenZ discord and it has like samurai Japanese katana designs under the letters

It’s one of those keycaps

[mild swift]

This is what keycaps TenZ uses

[glossy swallow]

Does anyone know where I can get those keycaps?

[mild swift]

https://www.amazon.com/Keycaps-Profile-Minimalist-Compatible-Keyboard/dp/B09YQZ9QK1/ref=asc_df_B09YQZ9QK1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693570349818&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15157478322550835951&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028317&hvtargid=pla-1710967917275&mcid=704409bdf5133241b651b530cf4ea419&gad_source=1&th=1

[mystic jungle]

Ohhh ok cause I couldn’t find it

[mild swift]

That’s what a guy who said he knows every little prriferal and setting TenZ uses so I trusted him but looks exactly the same form the video TenZ made of his keyboard and all the mods he did to it

[mild swift]

So white keycaps over black for raw case the move or black?

[mystic jungle]

They look pretty nice I know raw is a unique color so gotta be creative with matching it

If I had to pick one I think I’d go white but it’s close and it could change seeing it in person

[knotty fog]

Can i use the Geonworks Raptor HE switches with this keyboard?

[mild swift]

Okay I’ll go with that then eventually I’ll get custom keycaps but I just needed something to start off with I saw those $50+ GMK keycaps you gotta wait like a year or so just to get them which is insane.

[mystic jungle]

I know I was looking at keycaps I haven’t bought a keyboard in forever idk when they got to some of them being like $150 for a set

I was looking at KBDfans for some sets and very $$$

[mild swift]

Yup those are the GMK keycaps you can onsl get them from novelkeys and they’ve been selling out on novelkeys

They have the red suns and Olivia set on there pretty popular ones

[jade widget]

You can but the just released raw HE switches are better

[shy heart]

im going for ws gray skies keycaps

[knotty fog]

I'll take a look, I already bought them to try on my Keychron but they didnt work so I have them laying around

[mild swift]

Yeahhh they’re all a ton idk what makes them $150 that’s just crazy for keycaps but they better have some good thocc should no pinging for that price

[shy heart]

yeah you can't use hall effect switches on a normal keyboard

[knotty fog]

I know, i mean the Q1 HE

[shy heart]

ah ok

[jade widget]

Made in Germany you're buying them marked up as they are bought in group buys for $120

[mystic jungle]

Cause at that price I just kinda wanna try ceramic keys but a set like this I think would look really clean on raw

[shy heart]

ws gray skies >>>

[mystic jungle]

Ooo those are nice

[atomic brook]

for raw most chose whites

or getting caps with a light grey

as seen above

[shy heart]

gmk mercury here on the raw would look clean as hell

[mild swift]

That would look so guud on the raw

[worn compass]

69 days until October

At this point, they must be trolling :(

[upbeat berry]

how so?

[safe cargo]

We dont have it yet :(

(The keyboard)

[buoyant solstice]

We're saying it's compatible - For when Y'all get yours.

If we didn't state that, we'd get the question constantly.

any good HE boards with the sonnet layout yet?

[buoyant solstice]

I genuinely have no idea what a Sonnet layout is - But it's definitely not a #🌟│wooting80he 😄

[next osprey]

messaged here cause i thought competitors might be relevant

my bad chat

[buoyant solstice]

This channel is specifically about the 80HE. You'll want #💬│general or #🔧│keyboard_modding (if it's a DIY project kit or something similar) 🙂

[atomic brook]

it's just 75% iirc

[buoyant solstice]

Drak... buddy 😄

[atomic brook]

?

sorry I'm a bit slow

[buoyant solstice]

"This is not the place to discuss this, as it is not 80HE related at all"

Wooting SOCD needs to be called tippy tappy or I riot.

Rappy tappy

Or just be blatant with and call it snappy tappy

[dusky tiger]

Counter tap

[proud moss]

woot

[real zephyr]

I just checked the website is it serous? Do I really need to wait until October to get a 80he if I order now?

That is an awfully long time to wait for a keyboard…

[primal coral]

bruh, they aint even out yet

[real zephyr]

Idk I saw the advertisement for the 80he months ago

[weary wren]

Yea a preorder

[fresh merlin]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

bro I have waitting since april

[real zephyr]

I keep lurking on the website every so often but I can’t be asked paying 300+ usd and waiting 3 months for it to be delivered

[weary wren]

Then don't

[gaunt meadow]

do less than 300

[fresh merlin]

I have been waitting for 4months until now it will arive middle of Oct

[real zephyr]

Ima be honest u got scammed

no excuse to wait 6+ months for a keyboard

in this guy’s case

even 3 months is insane

[weary wren]

Do YOU know what a preorder is?

[fresh merlin]

I mean have u ever seen a good product in creation taking less than a month?

[gaunt meadow]

i currently have a working keyboard so im willing to wait a couple months for another one

[fresh merlin]

its a preoder bro they still checking the qauility of the samples theyre getting from the factories

and the testing etc

[tiny birch]

Then wait for the product to actually be finished and order it when it’s in stock

[fresh merlin]

tbh for me I cant wait until I see my name on that sexy 80he keyboard

[real zephyr]

they just hyped 8k hz for it to be released at the same time as other companies release theirs…

[fresh merlin]

nope

the other 8khz doesnt work the same way as wooting

[atomic brook]

aight dawg

most people knew about this before ordering

[fresh merlin]

you apparently dont know alot about tech stuff or production of products

[atomic brook]

the website shows you the estimated delivery date

[real zephyr]

Holy nerd emoji

[gaunt meadow]

i mean before ordering it did say around july and now its mid october early september

[real zephyr]

Chinese guys on Ali express will create 8kz polling rate and scan rate before this keyboard ships to u

[supple nebula]

in october it will say december, deal with it

[gaunt meadow]

calm down

[atomic brook]

then those who wanted that would have bought from ali express man

[rare stream]

Ah yes let's order trash

[fresh merlin]

I have worked and own couple business so I know about the producers about running a top tier company isnt an easy job they need to make sure their products match the customer expectation

[atomic brook]

cmon man, its their money

dont ruin ur day over this

[real zephyr]

I guess it is their money

[tiny birch]

Go order that then

[real zephyr]

Good call

[fresh merlin]

yeah sure enjoy chainess qualility keyboard brother then

[real zephyr]

Stockholm syndrome

[atomic brook]

guys cmon this is a stupid arguement to waste ur time on

[fresh merlin]

someone is salty

[atomic brook]

debate something more enjoyable

[real zephyr]

Abortions

opinions?

[atomic brook]

hmm

[fresh merlin]

nah im waitting my secretary to bring the documents to my office I have extra time to waste 😄

[atomic brook]

idk tbh

all i know is that raising a child is hard

and most people arent ready for it

[supple nebula]

you live to argue, opinions?

[atomic brook]

dawg cmon man

liking to argue isnt a crime

debate clubs exist

[supple nebula]

im not a police

[gaunt meadow]

its his opinion

https://tenor.com/view/iced-souls-hypixel-guild-snowy-icy-snowflake-gif-24038746

[real zephyr]

bruh I didn’t give an opinion tf

[atomic brook]

fam idm if u insult me

[real zephyr]

Stay mad lmao

[high basin]

Lol where is the text

[atomic brook]

just dont ruin ur day over dumb stuff

[real zephyr]

deleted msg

Pussy

[fresh merlin]

my opinion is that who preorder a product they know it will take long time to get and they know when they are spending 300$ is nothing for them they can wait

[supple nebula]

a normal shitty keyboard these days costs 150 anyway

[fresh merlin]

the main problem thats wooting set a new standards for keyboards and every other keyboard is basiclly bad because nothing can be compared to wooting

[supple nebula]

theres 2

to compare to

[fresh merlin]

names?

[lucid cove]

there is no reason to ever use another keyboard besides wooting unless you hate having advantages ig

[real zephyr]

Razer should come out with 8k 80he competitor soon

[atomic brook]

welp if you want a dumb reason to purchase wooting

[real zephyr]

Razer only competition

[atomic brook]

im not going to use it for gaming

[real zephyr]

Ig that’s why wooting can have 6 months long wait time

[atomic brook]

ok ill have to stop u right there

[tight cypress]

Razer can barely maintain 500Hz scan rate and 1k polling on Huntsman v3

[fresh merlin]

bro let them first come out with a real rapid trigger

[atomic brook]

they have like a 1.4 rating on trustpilot for a reason dawg

[lucid cove]

my stepdad has one to type easier when he's not gaming, and he's given everyone who works for him one for the work computers lmfao

[fresh merlin]

no im pertty sure they have 8khz keyboard and its tkl

[tiny birch]

Understand that the keyboards are not made yet. They do not exist so they can’t send them out yet lol

[atomic brook]

dayum nice guy

[fresh merlin]

but I forgot which one was it

[real zephyr]

I’m just saying they marketed this keyboard and “real 8k hz” in march…

[lucid cove]

he runs renovation company with small amount of employees, and giving them good pay + nice equipment means he makes a lot more money cause they r more invested into it

[atomic brook]

thats cool asf ngl

[fresh merlin]

yes its one of the only real 8khz keyboards

[tiny birch]

And what’s wrong or inaccurate about that?

[real zephyr]

Somehow it’s almost August and they still don’t have it ready to ship?

[tight cypress]

Huntsman v2
Which is not HE

[brisk trail]

is he taking new people in ?👀

[nocturne night]

bruh making a product takes a long fkn time

[tiny birch]

These products take time to make obviously.

[wispy trellis]

they sure as hell are made yet else it will be completely impossible to send out in a month the whole thing needs time - small batches for quality check etc pp

[fresh merlin]

yeah this one

[lucid cove]

If ur in Washington probably

[atomic brook]

the huntsman is optical

[real zephyr]

Imagine intel showcasing 16th gen cpu and comparing to amd current gen offerings

[brisk trail]

how about the UK

[lucid cove]

nah

[real zephyr]

That would be unfair would it?

[brisk trail]

worth a try hehe

[tiny birch]

Wooting isn’t intel. Big companies tend to keep their products secret until right before release but that’s not how Wooting works. They let people see the progress happen in real time.

[fresh merlin]

you know the massive preorders they got all over the world right? it will take time to test every single keyboard and make sure it meets the standards

[brisk trail]

whats the advantage or pre ordering?

[real zephyr]

waiting

[fresh merlin]

I mean other keyboard companies cant even compete with the 60he still so they can do that

[solid juniper]

does the keyboard come with the travel case or is it a pre-orderr thing?

[atomic brook]

promotional advantage or actual advantage?

[lucid cove]

wooting is smaller company so things take longer, but the tech of having one means if anything big that can be added in a software fix happens to another keyboard

[brisk trail]

like advantage as a consumer

[lucid cove]

it's on wooting in like 3 days

[fresh merlin]

if u you buy the metal version of the 80he it comes with it

[nocturne night]

zinc cases come with a travel case

[lucid cove]

oh sick

[solid juniper]

oh okay that's sick thanks

[brisk trail]

also are there sound tests for zinc and non zinc cases with abs or pbt keycaps? cuz i want to buy soon but i dont know which to buy yet

[shy heart]

ughhh i wanna do this so bad

[fresh merlin]

yes in their website

[shy heart]

we dont have a zinc soundtest outside that one echo yt video yet

[tiny birch]

This guy fails to understand that Wooting announced the keyboard when it was still being designed, while most big companies only announce their products when they are already ready to be shipped.

[restive bay]

I dont mind having to wait 3 months to have the keyboard. Since I live in Canary Islands everything is +1 month to arrive so I will barely notice it

[real zephyr]

Any reason for jade > lekker v2?

[atomic brook]

you get updates on the production and designing, you get a first batch slot, free switches, it also helps wooting lower costs and if you dont like the way ur product is going, you can cancel the preorder without needing much logistics

[atomic brook]

no one has gotten lekker v2 iirc

[lucid cove]

also if you don't wanna pay and wait, just don't pre-order and wait till second or third batch, altho preorder prob best if u want

[real zephyr]

Isn’t 80he with lekker v2?

[shy heart]

sound and feel

lekker v2 dont have closed stem

[real zephyr]

people already got first preorder 80he no?

[atomic brook]

ya and 80he isnt out like u said

[real zephyr]

wait original ppl

[atomic brook]

its in mass production

[real zephyr]

Who bought in march

[lucid cove]

oh sick

[atomic brook]

i did

[real zephyr]

Still havnt received the 80he?

[atomic brook]

its in 1 month

[restive bay]

No, first batch still in production

[brisk trail]

ah oki ty

[real zephyr]

That is crazy ima be honest

[lucid cove]

also have yall tried the new patch thingy on like overwatch or quake

[atomic brook]

design changes was made and a few logistics

[lucid cove]

I feel invincible

[restive bay]

I ordered mine a few days ago and it will arrive in early October, not bad

[atomic brook]

ya

[real zephyr]

I assume also everyone who ordered months ago will receive at the same time?

[marsh matrix]

is that what i saw yesterday, like someone moving side to side so rapidly and crisp

[lucid cove]

yep

[atomic brook]

but wooting opens preorders earlier than other companies

[marsh matrix]

thank god i bought a wooting i can’t wait to do that 😭

[atomic brook]

the design wasnt even final when you can preorder

[lucid cove]

on tracer you can bait blinks and force out every cd with that movement as well

and you can basically wavedash on certain heroes

[real zephyr]

Null scripts existed in csgo for years and years

[atomic brook]

you can cancel ur preorder at no cost or much effort

[restive bay]

Take into account that they need to do a good quality check.

Imagine waiting for 3 months and you get a bad batch

[atomic brook]

ya we know, our discord had like a war for a week on it

[brisk trail]

it looked crazy af on the new video

[restive bay]

Your eyes could be tainted in blood

[supple nebula]

is the price going up when preorders end?

[brisk trail]

rarely see that kind of movement in games

[lucid cove]

I was playing on it and it's crazier then the vid on faster movement games

[atomic brook]

not sure, ask a mod or admin

[brisk trail]

my aim is done for

[real zephyr]

Atp just have a macro on a,d where when you release the button the other one gets pressed

[atomic brook]

but not likely i dont think

[lucid cove]

like, any game where momentum carries, your just unhittable

[real zephyr]

same effect

[buoyant solstice]

Production happens over the course of a couple of days.

We're still in the "getting everything ready for that" stage.

[real zephyr]

Well yeah but taking money 6 months in advance is a bit off

[lucid cove]

me no wanna macro

[buoyant solstice]

Not at all.

[atomic brook]

its like a downpayment lmao

you can cancel it if you need to

[real zephyr]

what do people gain from pre ordering

[buoyant solstice]

We've been in a tive development of details like case finish, which takes time.

[nocturne night]

according to my trusty old friend ||chatgpt || it takes 12-24 months to design and develop everything to produce and ship new products like keyboards

[real zephyr]

Lower price?

[buoyant solstice]

Getting the keyboard as early as possible.

[lucid cove]

supporting the team and people behind the product, and getting a rlly early batch

[real zephyr]

what would be the difference in time

[atomic brook]

a month ish

[real zephyr]

If I order on march and if I order on September

[brisk trail]

do you know if there are sound tests avaialble for the different variations of the 80he ?

[real zephyr]

In terms of receiving the product

[atomic brook]

there is but not final

[atomic brook]

one minute ill search it for u

[brisk trail]

but theyre not like all the possible combinations if that makes sense

[real zephyr]

How long would it be between batches 1 and 2?

[nocturne night]

if you ordered in march youd probably get it around august-september, but if you order september you probably get it october-december

[real zephyr]

First batch for pre orders and 2nd for release I assume

[nocturne night]

there is like 2 batches for preorders

[atomic brook]

https://youtu.be/kSCcVL1qAik?t=301 here @brisk trail

the v2 ones should be the ones that ur need

[restive bay]

They will make a video with the L60, L45 in plastic and zinc cases, once they have the first batch

[real zephyr]

Do they not just have a test sample lying around?

[restive bay]

We need to wait a bit

[nocturne night]

not a final sample

[brisk trail]

ah oki ty guys

[restive bay]

No because the final product differs from the example one

[atomic brook]

ya, but at the end of the day

its just a test sample

[restive bay]

Plus they will release another video on how to assemble it if you preorder the module version like me

[real zephyr]

It’s still weird posting “true 8k” polling in march for people to receive in sep if there are no extra delays

[lucid cove]

is module setup easy (I'm very stupid)

[nocturne night]

thats just showing what they are planning to release, like every other preorder in existance

[atomic brook]

relatively so

[restive bay]

Should be yes

[atomic brook]

its only a handful of types of pieces

[lucid cove]

Ah ok I can do a handful

[restive bay]

I have never build a case before, it will be my first time

[nocturne night]

it will be very simple, no need to worry

[lucid cove]

I really wanna do a whole like, purple and black kuromi case with kuromi keycaps

[atomic brook]

even modding it is quite easy lmao

[restive bay]

So I will have to assemble the glask case, switches, keycaps, assemble the standar module version to the case and run it

[lucid cove]

nothing to crazy

[atomic brook]

purple and black is cool

especially with purple lights

[lucid cove]

ya fr, I love the color scheme so much

[atomic brook]

i went for a dark maroon tho

i found a keycap set i like

[lucid cove]

oh nice, rn my keyboard I just have rgb on low purple and then it's black everything else, haven't messed with keycaps or anything yet

[atomic brook]

other than the cost of it

[lucid cove]

fr

keycaps r so expensive

[atomic brook]

ikr

[restive bay]

Not really

[lucid cove]

I get it for people custom making it tho or artists working on them

[atomic brook]

i debated buying another wooting or a keycap set

[lucid cove]

but like basic purple ones why r u so pricy

[atomic brook]

cos its the same price +/- 20%

[shy heart]

that would be kinda fire

[lucid cove]

ye, and I'll match with my gf and get her a hello kitty one as well

[shy heart]

if ur in the US and looking for budget keycaps aifei of aliexpress is the best bet

[lucid cove]

so pink case white keys I think

[shy heart]

decent quality double shot pbt

[atomic brook]

have you considered transparent tinted pink

[lucid cove]

tysm for the advice, I'm not very sure what makes a good keycap or anything

[atomic brook]

i prefer it over actual pink

[lucid cove]

I have not but that sounds sick

[atomic brook]

i mean ask your gf

im not the one having it lmao

[shy heart]

for the most part just look for double shot pbt and anything with good reviews on reddit enthusiast subs

[lucid cove]

I wanna surprise her

[shy heart]

you could also check out the MechKeys discord server they have a lot of knowledge about it

[brisk trail]

how much on average is like a good keycap set

[atomic brook]

unfortunatly

[shy heart]

how good

[atomic brook]

too much

[lucid cove]

oh sick, I'll look around then, thanks for all the help

[shy heart]

like gmk can easily be $150

[brisk trail]

im not very knowledgable with keycap sets so idrk much about them

[shy heart]

if you see anything you like send a link and tag me, i'll have a look

[atomic brook]

gmk isnt a good product imho

[brisk trail]

but if im buying a 80He then i dont want like a super cheap keycap set from wish

[atomic brook]

and its still 150

[lucid cove]

awesome! I'll make sure to send it over then

[shy heart]

the stock wooting double shot pbt should be fine

[atomic brook]

keycaps rn just are bad

[shy heart]

i'm going for a set of wuque studio gray skies

[atomic brook]

they shine and diminish fast depite being expensive

but if you have the money why not

[lucid cove]

I'm going to hand make my keycaps out of wood and dirt

[atomic brook]

ya lmao

im refering to gmk abs mostly btw @brisk trail

[brisk trail]

ah oki ty ty

[atomic brook]

which is the most popular high end caps

[shy heart]

gmk botanical is damn beautiful tho

if you're ok with yellower sandyish whites DCX jasmine is a good alternative

[wind tiger]

botanical is blue tho

[shy heart]

the alphas?

[restive bay]

Wooting pbt keycaps you mean?

[wind tiger]

that is why r2 also has a yellowish kit

[shy heart]

yeah desert

[atomic brook]

nope

[wind tiger]

yea

[shy heart]

makes colour matching a pain ive heard

[atomic brook]

refering to gmk abs or abs in general

[wind tiger]

[wind tiger]

color matching white is very hard so

[shy heart]

hopefully WS gray skies with the white zinc 80he will be fine

[restive bay]

I see

[shy heart]

still torn between geon raw HE and gateron jades

[atomic brook]

pbt is more durable

abs will 100% shine after use

[jade widget]

Depends on the PBT

[wind tiger]

gmk wears entirely different to the dogshit ABS caps that most boards come with btw

on the shit ones it is not the ABS wearing but the paint and/or coating on top of it

[atomic brook]

it still shines tho

[wind tiger]

PBT also will btw

[atomic brook]

much more cheaper

gmk is ex and still shines

[jade widget]

Embrace the shine ✨️

[wind tiger]

idk, there is more to caps than just shine

[atomic brook]

no

i refuse to go into the light side

i will die as a matte fan

[wind tiger]

most PBT caps are slippery af ootb tho

[brisk trail]

which of the 2 do you guys reccomened from the 80he keycaps

[wind tiger]

keycaps are more than just ABS or PBT 💀

[atomic brook]

what colour is ur kb and setup

[brisk trail]

i think ill go into this a bit later

[wind tiger]

the top ones are the better ones

no question about it really

[brisk trail]

but im just a bit conflicted as to what to choose

[brisk trail]

how so

[jade widget]

Also all the PBT sets you're looking at are mixed with ABS

[atomic brook]

damn forced dark mode

[shy heart]

get the double shot pbt

[wind tiger]

they are doubleshot, the bottom one is laser ablated ABS that just dies quickly

[atomic brook]

just get the top

[wind tiger]

or POM

[atomic brook]

ngl

[wind tiger]

only PBT on PBT shot that I am aware of also is GMK

[brisk trail]

damn everyone sayin top one

[jade widget]

Yup comes at a hefty price tag too

[wind tiger]

not suuuuuper wild for keycaps, deffo seen worse

[jade widget]

I've spent worse 💸

[atomic brook]

unless you know you want to get custom keycaps soon

[brisk trail]

can anyone reccomend me a video to watch as to like why top one might be better, cuz i have no idea what double shot backlit pbt
no idea what any of those words mean

[atomic brook]

then just get the bottom

[wind tiger]

125€ for MTNU granite isn't horrible for example

[atomic brook]

or none at all

[atomic brook]

it is

[jade widget]

I'm just not sure I'll like the profile

[atomic brook]

for most

[wind tiger]

yea just buy dogshit dyesub PBT that just looks like ass

[atomic brook]

i bought a gmk set

bregrudingly may i add

[wind tiger]

source: I use a modern ePBT set that is already better than most dyesub shit and it still doesn't have clean edges

[wind tiger]

yea for most people a wooting is also horribly expensive

[atomic brook]

i mean tbf wooting is software

and tech

keycaps isnt really easy to justify

[brisk trail]

also where it says JIS + ANSI does it mean it comes with 2 sets of keycaps or just 1 set that has both characters on the same keycap, i assume the latter

[wind tiger]

produced in germany, new toolings if there is an issue it will get resolved

[wind tiger]

it comes with keycaps to fit both JIS and ANSI boards but NOT both at once

[atomic brook]

yup latter

both layouts are similar enuf

[wind tiger]

JIS has a different bottom row which you get in addition to an ANSI one

[atomic brook]

speaking of stupid ex stuff

[wind tiger]

but also 5 side dyesub

don't think we have seen an image of them

but they prob looks real bad like all 5 side dyesub

[brisk trail]

so like i could switch out a for a bigger space bar and still work fine?

[shy heart]

yeah

[brisk trail]

oh cool

[wind tiger]

if your board supports that, yes

[buoyant solstice]

I mean it's a very simple one. It's just white keycap bases that's dyed black everywhere except on the lettering

[wind tiger]

the JIS wooting 80 HE does not though

[atomic brook]

i might just buy this to match my 80he

[wind tiger]

yea so you get different shades of black all over every cap with gradients to blue on larger surfaces

[brisk trail]

that looks clean

[wind tiger]

as well as fuzzy af edges on the white parts

[brisk trail]

what color is ur 80HE gonna be?

[atomic brook]

dark maroon

this is the closest i can find lmao

[brisk trail]

any inspo?

[atomic brook]

its either this or i get a black mouse

[wind tiger]

schnozer mouse

[wind tiger]

btw the faker dav3 is bright red

[atomic brook]

ik

[brisk trail]

cleannn

how much is that

[atomic brook]

link?

my google aint googling

[atomic brook]

102

[wind tiger]

it literally has a giant nose on it

[atomic brook]

oh i thought you meant another mouse i can buy

💀

[wind tiger]

not aware of any decent dark red mouse

[atomic brook]

ya same

[brisk trail]

$?

[wind tiger]

also buying a mouse for the color is kinda stupid

[atomic brook]

i tried

yup

[brisk trail]

whered you buy it from

[atomic brook]

its a gmk set

from pbtfans

[wind tiger]

it is pbtfans

not gmk

[green jay]

cant believe i am just a month +- week away from actually having the 80he

[atomic brook]

mb im very new to keycaps

[wind tiger]

PBTfans is funny

[buoyant solstice]

I don't recall seeing that on our samples.

[wind tiger]

and I have seen it on every 5 side dyesub keycaps I have ever seen

[buoyant solstice]

[wind tiger]

since it is gradients it is hard to point out in digital images tho 💀

• you run into issues where you don't know if it is just focus issues etc

[buoyant solstice]

We do receive the actual samples and inspect them by hand. So I doubt there's any "camera issues" at play at least. 🙂

[atomic brook]

how decent is pbtfans?

quality control and quality in general

[jade widget]

Might finally pick up gmk black snail

[wind tiger]

it is kbdfans, aka there is no quality control

if you do buy them get them from like any other vendor if you expect any customer support at all

quality can be iffy, some sets had massive issues like pyga

[jade widget]

Best I can do is $5 store voucher

[wind tiger]

and those weren't sets that did something super new for pbtfans

[wind tiger]

"hehe"

[atomic brook]

ngl

[wind tiger]

like gmk had quality and sorting issues in the past, but if those happen you just contact your vendor and get a replacement with no issues (unless your vendor sucks or is bankrupt)

[atomic brook]

i got it from kbdfans

[wind tiger]

even with someone like signature plastics people got screwed because nobody stepped up

[jade widget]

That's too funny, we're sorry your keyboard had massive qc issues here's $5 off your next purchase with us 😉

[shy heart]

W

[wind tiger]

so you got a 250 dollar set of keycaps that has spacebars that just break and the fix costed you more money

[atomic brook]

$250 minimum order

[wind tiger]

the set did nothing special, was just dyesub DCS PBT, bog standard colors

[atomic brook]

ngl im considering buying some black 3.0 paint

[wind tiger]

don't paint caps

[atomic brook]

🙂

[wind tiger]

will be uneven and wears off

[atomic brook]

i want to paint the whole wooting

[wind tiger]

250 dollars btw

[wind tiger]

would be fine, though painting metals can be a bit more challenging

idk if the 80he zinc case has tighter tolerances on mounting pins you need to look out for

and also I would heavily recommend an air brush for it, brushes will give you stripes

[atomic brook]

idk they are legal where i live lmao

air brushes

have to check

[wind tiger]

air brushes are legal everywhere

it is just a compressor with an air gun that has a paint tank on top

you can rent them

would also be surprised if spray cans are illegal where you live tho

[atomic brook]

the inspo

[wind tiger]

yea an edited image

[shy heart]

oooh

[atomic brook]

nope

theres a vid of him doing it

[shy heart]

that could be real with some super super dark paint

but would be a pain in the ass to do

[atomic brook]

he used black 3.0

[wind tiger]

yea i know the vid but his keycaps looked atrocious after painting

• paint wears

[atomic brook]

this is under good lighting

it looked fine for me ngl
