I love you

[worn compass]

🦅🦅🦅

[modest moss]

is the 80he just the 60he with a different layout?

[atomic brook]

one moment

[thick hedge]

one is a 60%

the other is an 80%

hope this helps

[obsidian girder]

is it possible to have the same order tracking on 2 accounts?

i ordered 2 keyboards for me and my wifey but want to have them on each our accounts

[buoyant solstice]

Nope

[obsidian girder]

also this on detachable cables

when i try to add to cart

[lime falcon]

try different browser

[fringe bronze]

is the white color sexy on the 80he? or u guys prefer black?

[buoyant solstice]

I like it

[fringe bronze]

it's going to be my first white keyboard lol

[subtle frost]

Do we know the exact dimensions of the 80he wrist rest? Can't find it on the website

[unborn fractal]

Also look into Raw Zinc Alloy. I think it can go nicely with a white build.

I'm still waiting for good quality pics for the same, just to get an idea of how it looks in IRL.

But I reckon Raw Zinc Alloy with white/off-white keycaps will look nice.

[dapper anchor]

Website down

[buoyant solstice]

Unrelated errors.

The big red box is a known issue, that we've been trying to fix for about a week (Using a different browser usually helps)

And the website is currently fully down.

[sullen sand]

I heard a rumour when it's back up 80HE estimated delivery dates are down a full month

[dapper anchor]

For new orders only 😋

[sullen sand]

[cloud jetty]

Will wooting 80he sound like 60he?

[oak jungle]

fr?

no coz the mount is diff

[cloud jetty]

Thought the sound came from switches?

[oak jungle]

the holy case not only the switches yeah ?

whole not holy sry

[buoyant solstice]

Also the case and mount.
And switches are not the same either

[cloud jetty]

Hmmm

[oak jungle]

yeah it's v2 of the switches

[cloud jetty]

Simple question, why doesn't the caps keycap say caps lock?

[coarse crest]

There’s a sound sample at the end of the video on the 80he homepage

[cloud jetty]

The 38secomd one yeah

Its bit rough for me to estimate the actual sound tho

[lime falcon]

better

[robust turret]

I hope so, I can't wait for my first wooting

[cloud jetty]

What switches does the 60he use

[lime falcon]

Currently L60 v1.5

[buoyant solstice]

Because we use symbols?

[cloud jetty]

But shift and caps look very similar

[lime falcon]

it will have L60 v2 soon

[cloud jetty]

Both arrows

[buoyant solstice]

It's almost as if they have the same functionality or something.

[cloud jetty]

Alr so what's the difference between linear and magnetic switches, what does linear even mean hete

[buoyant solstice]

They're all linear, they're all magnetic

[cloud jetty]

Theres the l45 and jade switches

Okey so both would work on the 80he correct?

Both are analog right?

[pseudo parrot]

yea both will work. theres a more comprehensive list in #🪛│modding_faq of compatible / not compatible switches

[vapid storm]

yes sire, that's what ~magnetism~ does

[robust turret]

I'm already looking at keycaps to order for my 80he

[cloud jetty]

Whats wrong with the stock ones?

[robust turret]

Nothing wrong with stock ones, just like to customize

[cloud jetty]

Alr

[robust turret]

I plan on swapping the caps on arrival and just keeping the stock ones aside

[cloud jetty]

What's the actual difference between l45 and l60?

Is it only the gram force

Or the sound too perhaps?

[edgy ore]

just pre ordered the 80he

[cloud jetty]

Whats the estimated time of arrival?

[edgy ore]

frost case with my new pbtfans x-ray keycaps

its gonna look so good

sometime in november

[oak jungle]

mid nov

[cloud jetty]

Jeez

[oak jungle]

yeah but worth it unlike most keyboards in the market with garbage quality

[edgy ore]

the keyboard is still in production, its not supposed to arrive next week

[cloud jetty]

Ik

[oak jungle]

I bought 22$ keyboard and the feel while typing is better than apex pro ::L that's tells you alot about big companies

[cloud jetty]

Are the l60 better than l45 or just different switches?

[jade widget]

Different spring weights

60 grams vs 45 grams

[cloud jetty]

Soo does that mean they are harder to press or that they can be pressed deeper?

[oak jungle]

roughly they are the same you will not notice huge diff I tried them

[buoyant solstice]

15g harder/lighter to push down

[cloud jetty]

I think my membrane key kard on the laptop is harder

[lime falcon]

they are not the same

[oak jungle]

almost the same

[lime falcon]

no

[oak jungle]

yeah

I tested them

[lime falcon]

Well most of us did

and they arent the same

[oak jungle]

but there is no huge dif between them

[cloud jetty]

Double shot pbt vs dye sub pbt and abs, which keycaps yall picked?

[buoyant solstice]

The difference is noticeable.

[oak jungle]

maybe l30 you will feel the dif between 60 and 30

but not 45

not noticeable

[buoyant solstice]

🧢

[lime falcon]

Are you trolling or what

[oak jungle]

they all hella smooth and light

[buoyant solstice]

I can easily tell apart 45 and 60. And both are too light, which is why I now use L80

[lime falcon]

Yea me too

[oak jungle]

finger diff I guess then

[lime falcon]

Maybe youre too jacked

[jade widget]

[fallen epoch]

[cloud jetty]

L80 exist

Heeh why haven't i seen them in the store

[violet ridge]

gotta train those fingers

[buoyant solstice]

Gotta make them yourself

[cloud jetty]

How would i do that, I ain't a factory

[lime falcon]

you need to purchase springs separately

[buoyant solstice]

https://wooting.io/product/lekker-spring-packs

[cloud jetty]

So wait

Do the lekker switch push grams depend on the springs?

[buoyant solstice]

All switches work like that

[cloud jetty]

So then why yall sell l45 qnd l60 but not l80

Wouldn't it be smarter to either sell all or let the user buy the springs and change them himself

[buoyant solstice]

Because there hasn't been enough demand to make premade switches that heavy.

[cloud jetty]

Sure

[radiant anvil]

can we get linear200 for heavy fingers?

[violet ridge]

you need to train every muscle to failure that includes the fingers

i need those 1kg switches

[lime falcon]

L1KG would be mad

[violet ridge]

maybe that will stop me from playing cs

(doubt it)

[lime falcon]

u wont be able to play so i guess you will stop

[cloud jetty]

So the 80he comes with preinstalled l60 right?

I think thats what I want

[lime falcon]

yes

[buoyant solstice]

Yes

[robust turret]

Any reason why pcr frost case isn't avaliable as a whole unit

And only as a separate case?

[pseudo parrot]

its available if you select the module only unfortunately

[buoyant solstice]

Yes. Too many SKUs

[robust turret]

Ah , gotcha .thanks

[sullen sand]

60-70 is around about the most common switch force

45 is for people who want it lighter.... 80 is probably only for people who want to use ceramic keycaps maybe

[violet ridge]

not a guy in suggestions wanting l10 switches

[sullen sand]

so 60 and 45 would be common and for anyone else that cares that much about a switch they can put in whatever springs they want

[cloud jetty]

Double shot pbt vs dye sub pbt and abs, which keycaps yall picked?

[sand girder]

Third party :P

[sullen sand]

My keyboard comes with double shot PBT pre-installed 🙂

If I want fancy keycaps I'll go with ABS for better colour variance

[cloud jetty]

Im concerned about the led lights coming though the keycap

[sand girder]

I get white pbt blanks for everything

[sullen sand]

Dye sub keycaps will not let the RGB come through the legends

[sand girder]

Thicker keycaps tend to be nicer, imo

[cloud jetty]

So thats not good

[sand girder]

But they won't shine-through like I assume you want

[sullen sand]

What's not good? Everything is preference

To one person it is good, to another person it is bad

You get what you want...

[sand girder]

It's because classic gamer keyboards have rgb going through the letters

[cloud jetty]

I think the double shot ones is what i like the most visually

[sullen sand]

Wooting's double shot keycaps let the RGB shine through the letters

[cloud jetty]

Anyone got the wrist rest thingy?

I am wondering if i need it

On my laptop i just rest the wrists

But when there's gonna be the external keyboard I am not sure how thats gonna work

[sullen sand]

Wrist rest is not a necessity

[cloud jetty]

I assume when i get the keyboard if i then want the wrist rest i cant just order it and it will arrive within a week or two correct?

[cloud jetty]

What is it then

[sand girder]

You don't need it, but it can be comfortable if you rest your wrists on the desk naturally

Just try to avoid putting your wrist on a wrist-wrest while typing or wasding or whatever

[cloud jetty]

Alr

Do they not have a yt video that simply has the 80he rotated in the air and typed on?

Im convinced that the space bar sound very different

[sullen sand]

wot

[cloud jetty]

Found the live stream

Maybe il find stuff there

Yeah why don't all the keys sound the dame on that keyboard

Like space bar and shifsts with caps sound way different from wasd

[sand girder]

It's because of physics.

[edgy ore]

because they are bigger keys with stabilizers

[sand girder]

Every key sounds different from every other key, though generally keys of the same size on the same row sound similar.

[cloud jetty]

Do stabilisers for like space bar mean it wont lean to the left ot the right?

[jade widget]

Pretty much just makes the spacebar go down evenly regardless of where it's being activated from

Keeps it straight

But also even in the same row keys can sound different due to how close it is to the sides of the case that affects resonance

[sullen sand]

The stabilisers keep the space bar stable, yes 🙂

[cloud jetty]

Thats great

Interesting alright

[oak jungle]

99 days left

[cloud jetty]

So when i receive this keyboard what can i do to reduce the noise?

[edgy ore]

what more do you need to do that they havent thought of?

[vapid storm]

https://youtu.be/_N8k0u75eLQ?t=401

[cloud jetty]

Its only regarding the noise, id like it to be as quiet as possible

Don't want to disturb anyone in my hause

Don't know how loud it will be

[edgy ore]

its not a loud keyboard

[vapid storm]

it's not super loud anyway

[cloud jetty]

Super loud

How many decibels is super loud

[vapid storm]

the easiest way to mute the sound is to apply some extra lube to the switches, and if you prefer you can change the dampening material to something that produces a sound you like

[graceful mica]

I feel probably the same tbh, it's difficult to use analog controls because the force required to press from 5% to 100% is too low

Like i'l just press sliiiightly harder and now the key is bottomed out.

[cloud jetty]

Doesn't the keyboard come prelubed?

[vapid storm]

yes, that's why I said extra

[graceful mica]

how hard is it to replace springs 😛

[cloud jetty]

Oh alright

[edgy ore]

wooting has a video on it

[vapid storm]

not hard but annoying, takes a few hours

the case also affects the sound a lot, I find walnut to be a lot more muted than aluminum for example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GJEyTl2aNY some examples here

anyway no need to overthink, it's not loud. when you get it and would like to make it quieter, then start experimenting

[jade widget]

Ita filled with foam already and the gasket mounting should mute even more of the sounds

[vapid storm]

yeah, that too. I'm sure the option you got will satisfy you

[jade widget]

Yeah try it out first before going about modding it

[graceful mica]

what's the best way to get a switch opener?

[blissful spindle]

the 60he is really nice, i almost considered cancelling my 80he order

[edgy ore]

wdym by best way?

[graceful mica]

i'd need one to swap springs but dont have one

[edgy ore]

order one

[graceful mica]

where/how?

[remote jay]

Amazon

[robust turret]

So I wonder is their any way to know which cables are compatible with wooting for tachyon mode

[edgy ore]

i like to be helpful but man you couldve just googled switch opener

[graceful mica]

Am asking people who know rather than researching a bunch. I have no clue if there is some kind of standard for opening lekker switches, if it's different from cherry mx or what

if you don't want to reply you're not obligated

somebody else might

[edgy ore]

you just need a switch opener, nothing special for lekkers

[sullen sand]

Cable length

[edgy ore]

easier to just use wootings, my previous custom cable couldnt do taychon mode

[edgy ore]

too many stock mods that they did to the 80he, cant wait to sell my 60he when it comes in

[robust turret]

Apparently hyperx ones work with Tachyon

Can anybody confirm this?

Wooting ones are so expensive with shipping to nz

[edgy ore]

it would make sense tbh

[robust turret]

I literally live on the other side of the world in New Zealand lol

[edgy ore]

saw a wooting member on reddit say to use a 2m or less, but you're just gonna have to figure it out on your own.

[blissful spindle]

i didn't even know where new zealand was located lmao

[robust turret]

Hyper X coiled are readily available here

[edgy ore]

NZ right above AUS, right

[robust turret]

Small island in the pacific

[steep badger]

Speaking of hyper x, i have their headset right now

[robust turret]

Yep we are Australia's smaller but better cousin 😆

[edgy ore]

by the time my 80he comes in, its almost gonna be 2025

this year is going by so quick

[remote jay]

when does your 80HE come, Mid-November ?

[edgy ore]

yes, just ordered today

i did the module

[remote jay]

Same same, ordered a week ago

[edgy ore]

whats your build gonna look like

i bought the lekker 45s, with frost case no keycfaps

[remote jay]

i bought the Zinc Alloy Case in Balck with some Grey-Ash Keycaps and the Jade Switches

[edgy ore]

i was gonna just use my jades, but the lekkers with their new tighter tolerances, have a deeper tone than the jades

[remote jay]

so yea, i ordered also with no keycaps

Interesting. I hope we get a nice sound test with the lekker v2 switches. Maybe then i can decide between the lekkers and jades

But the Jades sound waay better than the lekker v1 in my opinion

[edgy ore]

v1s are horrible

[blissful spindle]

when would it be too late to change my order? i ordered with keycaps but i wanna get some other keycaps instead

[gusty pumice]

Anyone know the technical spec required for USB cable for wooting cable? Or can recommend a good USB C to USB A? For my setup I need approximately 10ft for cable management.

[edgy ore]

thats why i didnt buy them. wooting has a video comparing all 3 on the 80he btw

[remote jay]

for the 80HE ?

[blissful spindle]

yeah 80he

[remote jay]

you still have time till it shippes

[blissful spindle]

i think wooting cable comes with an adapter for usb a, not sure tho

[pseudo parrot]

best to use cables no longer than 2 meters. can try a powered usb hub for some added length.
spec is usb 2 for all products. 80he comes with a 2 meter type c to c cable. type c to a, adapter included

[remote jay]

you can hold your order in the wooting-hub and mail the [e-mail] to change the order to your liking

[gusty pumice]

The wooting 60he come with a 5ft cable and I think it’s the same with 80he. Unfortunately this length isn’t enough for my setup.

[remote jay]

Or use the "Get in touch" button in the hub

[blissful spindle]

got it thanks

[remote jay]

np

[robust turret]

I'm wondering if I should order my key caps now

So you guys already have keycaps on order for your 80he

[edgy ore]

im using them rn

did no keycaps

[blissful spindle]

you should buy them now if you're going into group buys

[edgy ore]

@remote jay here is the video comparing lekke v1 vs v2 vs jade btw

aw i cant link the video. its Wooting 80HE - Updates & Answering More Questions! @ 4:25

[gusty pumice]

So it will be better to use an USB hub (powered) with a 2.0m cable than a long cable (3.0m)? No problem using an USB hub with the wooting as long as it is powered? It wouldn’t induce to much latency ?

[remote jay]

Awesome, thank you. I will probably stick with the jades. The V2 sound good but the closed bottom sound of the jades still got me.

[pseudo parrot]

@tight cypress sorry to ping you at this time. was wondering if you could assist with this question

[tight cypress]

Well, in theory USB hub shouldn't introduce latency, or it'd be negligible
But yeah, if you go over 2m, it's better to go with powered USB hub
Also no problem with using it, I have 2 UwUs and 2HE connected to mine, had no issues so far

[pseudo parrot]

thank you cals

[edgy ore]

im defintely gonna do in an person comparison since I already have the jades, plus my keycaps should change the sound a little bit compared to wootings stock keycaps

[gusty pumice]

Thank you for the answers! Will need to check one for wooting 60he and 80he

[edgy ore]

if you havent seen them before, im using PBTFans X-ray as my keycaps

[remote jay]

Nothing better than in-person, so I'm really interested in some high quality audio comparison. With diffrent cases, etc.

[blissful spindle]

how do they look like with rgb?

[remote jay]

Woah, these look sick. Especially with an all-white build

[cloud jetty]

Does the 80he have rubber pads so that it wouldn't slide on the table?

Cause I'm assuming its light weight, it could slide around which would be inconvenient

[edgy ore]

i use the rgb mode that only activates per key and then fades out, jelly I think its called? cant remember the name, but I also keep it at only 30% brightness.

[buoyant solstice]

https://wooting.io/wooting-80he
There's a whole product page with all of the information you know 😄

[robust turret]

I'm thinking of transparent keycaps with the frost case would look cool

[remote jay]

Yes they have feet. The back feet are interchangeable for height adjustment.

[cloud jetty]

Yeah, just thought maybe knew for sure so it simpler for me to ask....

[cloud jetty]

But the feet have the rubber pads right?

[edgy ore]

the rubber pads are the feet…

[cloud jetty]

Oh alr

[remote jay]

the feet are made of rubber

[cloud jetty]

Great

Quality love it

[edgy ore]

you definitely need to watch some videos and read up on that page

[cloud jetty]

Working on that

[buoyant solstice]

Silicone*

[cloud jetty]

But i kinda like jump from topics rather than watch a 1hour stream

[edgy ore]

you dont need to watch the 1 hour streams

[buoyant solstice]

Then don't watch streams. Skim the product page and watch any update videos that interest you.

[edgy ore]

there is multiple short videos

[cloud jetty]

Yep got it

Been watching them, well made, liked them, don't know who that main guy is, probably the owner

[edgy ore]

basically my current build. x-ray keycaps with polycarbonate holy60 case

cant post a pic here i assume or else id show

[remote jay]

you could post your build in the wootstations chat

[edgy ore]

oh right, one second

[robust turret]

Yeah , or can you dm me a pic

[edgy ore]

ill post it there

my room lighting sucks, imma go outside

[remote jay]

LOL, where do you live? Currently 0:23 AM in EU-Central

[spark heart]

will the 80 he module come with lubed stabilizers

[edgy ore]

yes

i live in the states

[remote jay]

Nice

[edgy ore]

posted

[cloud jetty]

Is there a difference whether or not i use usb or usb type c to connect the 80he?

[edgy ore]

are you able to see it?

[buoyant solstice]

No.

[remote jay]

Damn that's so clean. quite the opposite from what i planed to build

[cloud jetty]

Can ports interfere with perhaps the 8k. Polling rate or sum, maybe the newer gen ports are needed

[buoyant solstice]

No.

[edgy ore]

thanks! this case has holes all on the sides so it honestly doesn't sound the best, why I need the 80he already lol. not that many clear cases for 60he at the moment, let alone a gasket mounted one.

[remote jay]

"not that many cases". I couldn't even find one

[edgy ore]

there is only the tofu60 redux which is acrylic and the holy60 which is polycarbonate, thats it at the moment

[buoyant solstice]

60HE compatible cases you mean?

[remote jay]

But yea, the sound aspect is totally different thing. I myself would go for sound rather than looks, if i had to compromise

[edgy ore]

thankfully with the 80he I wont have to hehe

[remote jay]

Ah my bad, i jumped over the 60HE part

[buoyant solstice]

https://wooting-technologies.notion.site/de7a52e2b5a941258a17e448b0c9d9b0?v=5ec0b31c59db4a51b8a86a1288249e9f

[robust turret]

Nice @edgy ore how bright is the shine through?

[remote jay]

i thought you meant the 80HE

[edgy ore]

it doesnt shine through the text, it shines on the outer side of the keycaps, but its pretty bright

this set is defintely better with less rgb, thats why I have it on the per key, only when pressed

Trail, thats the rgb effect I use, with no static background color

[remote jay]

How does it look with white backlight ?

[edgy ore]

thats what I have it set to!

its super clean

[remote jay]

Keyboard straight from heaven

just try. maybe a .gif ?

Or send a video link url in base64

[edgy ore]

ugh too much work

maybe some other time lol

[remote jay]

all good

[coarse galleon]

when the website says it will start shipping in november... that doesnt mean your actual keyboard does it?

that just means any order before yours right?

[obsidian girder]

one says estimated delivery and one says estimated warehouse afaik

[buoyant solstice]

Depends on where you're looking.

Checkout? Your order to be

[coarse galleon]

i guess my orders says that

so it should be at my house by mid november?

[violet ridge]

that's what is says

[worn compass]

86 days until November

[robust turret]

fuck it im pulling trigger on keycaps etc now lol

[crude raptor]

im still thinking what keycaps to get, i mean i have 3 months but for some reason i cant find something that i can definitevely say this is it

[blazing leaf]

anybody know of any nice red/maroon keycaps? :o

[worn compass]

This color key caps #009BCD

[sharp moon]

What about default one?

[worn compass]

#009BCD

[sharp moon]

?

[worn compass]

The funny color

[sharp moon]

I mean they good no?

https://tenor.com/view/vhs-glitch-black-screen-gif-14996698

[worn compass]

Nvm you wouldn’t understand the reference

[blazing leaf]

also what are peoples thoughts on the plastic case ? do you feel that it is justified in being around 200$ ? i feel that if i am paying that much i definitely want something premium

[sharp moon]

So explain

[worn compass]

It’s the color of Weezer’s Blue Album

[sharp moon]

oh oke I see

[worn compass]

Tbh, the stock 80he is well priced in terms of features and what it has to offer already compared to other competitors. It sounds just fine stock so I wouldn’t see any issues. If you want a more premium feel you can always get the zinc alloy case which will be like $110 more

It’ll make the 80he roughly 5 pounds in weight and will change how the switches sounds

[blazing leaf]

in what way do you think the zinc alloy would affect the sound of the switches ?

[worn compass]

For sure

Hold on lemme get the video with the sound test if you’re interested

[blazing leaf]

yes please !

[worn compass]

Go to the 5 min time stamp of the video

https://youtu.be/kSCcVL1qAik?si=NqLvT_R83n1lUwPw

[crude raptor]

oh didnt know it would change it

[worn compass]

Stock 80he sound test so no modifications and lekker v2 switches

[coarse galleon]

Can you lower the Hz from 8000 to say 1000? is that confirmed yet?

[worn compass]

Yeah pretty sure

[edgy ore]

where do you see $200? i paid $9.99 for the frost case

[worn compass]

I think they’re just talking about the stock 80he

[edgy ore]

gotcha, had me confused, cause even the alloy case is only $100

[blazing leaf]

^^^

my bad

[edgy ore]

i guess he excpects the alloy case should be the same price as the plastic case

[blazing leaf]

?

[edgy ore]

also the sound profile of the plastic case suits my ears better than the zinc

[blazing leaf]

thank you for this btw !

[worn compass]

No problem

[blazing leaf]

sorry im new here. would you say wooting has good customer service ? i had emailed them about my order but im not sure when i should expect a response

[valid comet]

yes you can, all the way down to 125Hz too for some reason I think

[edgy ore]

yes their customer service is good

[versed chasm]

how do you get other items in shipment other than 80e

[edgy ore]

it ships together

[blazing leaf]

is the wooting website cart also not working for anyone else ?

[gilded junco]

Use a different browser

[coarse galleon]

thank you

[coarse galleon]

thank you!

[pine violet]

i ordered it but i forgot to change color to ghost.. is there anyway i can change now for 80HE ordered few mintues back only

[versed chasm]

what if i had bought uwu at the same time and want that to ship

[coarse crest]

That alloy sample is 🔥👀

[coarse galleon]

lol so i didnt even google it but how hard is it to put the keyboard together if you got it in parts? i wanted the 42g switches... so i had to get the parts...

[rugged bobcat]

Generally it’ll simple enough for almost anybody

[hidden crest]

legos

[rugged bobcat]

Could search up a tutorial to ensure everything’s done right

[coarse galleon]

yeah of course i figured id ask discord lol

[hidden crest]

its very easy

[coarse galleon]

i mean i can do things ... ya know... put computers together just never did the keyboard yet lol

[hidden crest]

but yheah there are also full videos which id suggest you follow first time for sure

or atleast will be for the 80he before its out

[coarse galleon]

true

i will

im excited... finally getting a wooting after using a drunkdeer for awhile

[fallen epoch]

Hey im not drunk

Nor usable

[coarse galleon]

oh behave!!!

[fallen epoch]

[edgy ore]

they arent gonna ship something extra for free. its gonna get bundled together

[worldly pebble]

is it better to just get module for modding or its fine getting prebuilt and tearing it down later (for the 80he) my main difficulty is shipping aftermarket parts to my country and the main way im getting the 80he itself is through a relatives shipping address

[worn compass]

No problem

[worn compass]

Imo getting prebuilt is just fine to see if you wanna get a feel for how the keyboard is first stock. Module is if youre fine with spending a bit extra to get a more premium feel to your liking

There’s really no right or wrong option

Just choose what you’d like

[worldly pebble]

yeah i wanted to get module but if i do id like to get aftermarket switches (milktooth dashes) and keycaps too so that would mean some downtime between me getting the keyboard and being able to actually use it

and i mainly play on my laptop and extend to my monitor but im currently having some issues with my laptop kb where some keys only register if i have another button pushed in

[worn compass]

I have a membrane keyboard, only issues with it is inconsistency which is present in every membrane and it makes my fingers hurt

[coarse crest]

I'm gonna end up doing the same to get the Jades, first day will be annoying, but every day after is gonna be great

After rehearing the zinc test, I might even lube my jades a little bit

[blissful spindle]

what keycap set are y'all getting for the 80he

[coarse crest]

I got the double shot white for now, I'm hoping we get the black and white 5 sided Dye-sub set for the 80he

[obsidian girder]

pbt all the way

[crude raptor]

now that i saw how the zinc alloy raw looks like in that sound test video, i have a hard time imagining what keycaps could fit on it

a simple black and white i guess?

[fallen epoch]

Beige could work methinks

[midnight iron]

At least it’s not because yours is bricking like a lot of the other owners lol

[coarse galleon]

Huh?

[midnight iron]

I mean the bricking issues with the a75

[coarse galleon]

Oh never had those with the a75

[midnight iron]

Yeah that’s why I said that’s good that you’re not part of the percentage that seem to be getting it

Their English support channel there practically became the a75 bricked please replace channel

[coarse galleon]

Damn I had no idea

I been in their discord as well

A lot too so I’m surprised how I lighted it

[midnight iron]

Yeah have a peek in their English support channel and scroll back over the past week of posts there

It’s all bricking issues with the a75

[coarse galleon]

Probably the least visit channel for me tho lol

[coarse galleon]

I see them

Seems like it related to updating the firmware. lol glad I wasn’t so snap happy with updating it so much. Once something works I usually try not to update it

[unborn wadi]

Im so hyped for this keyboard

[obsidian girder]

[burnt yacht]

Do we have a typing sound test of v2’s in a zinc case? Only pcr test is on the product page

[atomic brook]

yes

but I'm kinda lazy rn

https://youtu.be/kSCcVL1qAik?t=302

[gritty oar]

guys, if i wanna buy keycaps for the 80HE, which type of keycap will fit?

[quiet pawn]

Literally any

[gritty oar]

any cherry keycap?

[quiet pawn]

ANY keycap

[gritty oar]

@quiet pawn u so fast ngl XD

[quiet pawn]

lol

no life

[gritty oar]

double shot PBT are the goat?

what is the most recommeneded one to get

[fallen epoch]

Pbt last longer than abs

But i think the design is more important personally, as long as its doubleshot

[gritty oar]

Can you give me an example of something you got that is not expensive yet good quality?

[quiet pawn]

No.

[gritty oar]

No to who Hyper?

[quiet pawn]

I'm kidding lol, start on KBDfans

[icy cosmos]

Good quality = expensive. Otherwise wooting is the price/performance

[gritty oar]

[fallen epoch]

Yeah kbdfans, omnitype, pbtfans

[gritty oar]

And on another subject, do you think it’s worth it to open the lekker switches for extra lube?

[atomic brook]

any mx keycaps

[atomic brook]

depends

[fallen epoch]

If you feel like the factory lube is not what you like

[gritty oar]

I’m getting the unessembled one

[atomic brook]

if you like the sound then no need

[gritty oar]

Just giving it another push

Not removing factory and relube

[atomic brook]

depends if you like the sound of the factory

if you dont, they why not more lube

[icy cosmos]

Less is more

[atomic brook]

is kbdfans not the same company as pbtfans?

[fallen epoch]

Idk im quite silly

[gritty oar]

Gotcha

So no need to extra lube, remove and relube if I don’t like the sound, any cherry keycap will do, preferably double shot.

Thank you guys for taking the time to answer a noob, if I receive a survey you will get 10/10

[icy cosmos]

Only add lub if the switch doesn’t sound / feel right out of factory.

[atomic brook]

any mx keycaps

cherry could refer to the profile

not the compatibility

[icy cosmos]

If you’re chasing a sound signature. You’re in for a lot of work. If you haven’t got any other mechanical keyboards to compare to or use as a reference. It will be even more difficult.

[gritty oar]

I have a g915 rattlesnake, so everything above that is fine.
I’m not too fanatic about sound, just want to have a good board and not worrying about needs to replace in a few years

Btw, isn’t there like a layout that keys are like a bit dent in the middle to give good posture or something like that. , like it’s not flat or smtn

[atomic brook]

yup

as stated above

what you are describing are "profiles"

[gritty oar]

And that’s personal preference, Mx is the connection that fits the lekker switches

[atomic brook]

other than the japanese legends and magnetic wave that are cherry

all wooting keycaps are oem

[gritty oar]

But still, Mx connection

[atomic brook]

yup

[gritty oar]

So I can actually make an abomination of a fake low profile

[marsh hull]

if the 80he's sound profile is thockiness, would the ws dashes be even thockier with them?

[atomic brook]

most likely

but you can wait until they release a more fledged sound test

[valid comet]

arent ws dashes recolored jades technically they should be more clacky than thocky

[icy cosmos]

The fact that you can´t find a youtuber or a database of the sound profiles of different keybord switches recorded with the same standard. Makes this an impossible to answer. Even the material of your table can affect keybord sound.

[atomic brook]

i was comparing it to the lekkers

[icy cosmos]

There´re still no recordings of the keybordswitches. Until we have a waveform recorded without any other things affecting the sound. littraly anything can colour the sound coming from your keybord. https://youtu.be/TjA7Oap5XKo?si=AUyXLlvBHzI84x_Y

[wind tiger]

you always have other noise, they are part of the sound

the only way soundtests are useful is comparing keyboards in the exact same situation to each other

otherwise they can give you a rough idea

(and then you got soundtests with a mic hardmounted to the table)

[icy cosmos]

But you will still be chasing a ghost. Because the setup from the videos is not the same as your home. It´s like listning to a HiFi system at the store, taking time to compare the speakers then when you set it up at home, it sound totaly different.

[wind tiger]

yea obv

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

[atomic brook]

but you can compare

[wind tiger]

you can compare, and people can try to make their sound tests as accurate as possible

[atomic brook]

the 2 switches in the same

situation

[icy cosmos]

Yeah but it will not sound the same at your home.. that is what I am saying

[atomic brook]

either way it will be "thockier"

it doesn't mean it will be thocky

[wind tiger]

I mean biggest issue is that the recording setups often are complete shit

[icy cosmos]

Depending on the table you´re using.. it can change.. though.

[wind tiger]

biggest difference really is the mic setup

[icy cosmos]

ofc. All microphone has a specific sound to them. it´s even more difficult to make judgment.

[wind tiger]

no it is not just difference from one mic to the next

the way they use the mic is the biggest issue to begin with

[wind tiger]

blacksimon tried to make his setup for it as accurate as possible, it already is quite a bit different than what most people do

[icy cosmos]

I totaly agree.. that´s why I am saying you should not chase after the sound by peoples opinions. You need to test shit out on your own, in your own room

[wind tiger]

oh yea obv

you can't build your opinion on it purely from soundtests

and trying out stuff is part of the fun

[icy cosmos]

That´s the core of this hobby. But people seems to forget that and blindly chasing after some standard of Thick or thocky without knowing their preference.

[atomic brook]

it's their first build tho

[wind tiger]

no need to minmax it tho

[atomic brook]

it's like I wouldn't recommend him trying a bad keyboard to see how shit it is

[wind tiger]

yea obv

[atomic brook]

they can, if their goal is just to build one keyboard

[icy cosmos]

Getting a Wooting is already a good starting point.

[atomic brook]

not everyone is going to get multiple kb or get so deep into this hobby

[wind tiger]

yea for people that just want a nice keyboard the stock configuration is already pretty nice honestly

easily beats all the traditional gaming keyboards

[icy cosmos]

It´s true to every hobby, one will develope tast and preference over time. The subtle nuances will not reveal itself for a newly baptized in the first week or months. ( with that said, once you got to taste the kool aid, you´re never going to satisfy with the second best. )

[atomic brook]

as in they might just want a good keyboard

[verbal solar]

does wooting deliver all the way to the philippines and how many weeks/months would it take??

[atomic brook]

no reason to make your first keyboard as good as you can

[atomic brook]

the delivery itself will probably take a week or so

[atomic brook]

however are you getting the 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

The checkout tells you. Keep in mind that PH has import fees paid separately to our checkout on delivery

[verbal solar]

nope

im saving up for 60he

[verbal solar]

whats the diffrence tho

[atomic brook]

you would see how that is confusing

considering the name of this channel

also the 80he is a preorder

the first batch comes in 2 months

[verbal solar]

oh wow

whats this song

on wootstage

[toxic loom]

Are they planning to launch a white plastic case?

[buoyant solstice]

We are not. 🙂

[toxic loom]

Are there any white 80% plastic cases that work with the 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

There are no aftermarket cases currently.

[pseudo parrot]

closest thing to a white plastic case would be pcr frost

[buoyant solstice]

Your options right now are either to get the Zinc White or PCR black and painting it yourself.

[toxic loom]

Has the 80he plastic case special paint or is it just plastic

[buoyant solstice]

Special paint? No. Paint? Yes.

I believe the factory tour video we're releasing today shows the process.

[toxic loom]

Okay Thank you very much

Hahaha I'm the first comment of the video

[atomic brook]

oh no he means the video coming out soon

in 4 hours

[buoyant solstice]

You can comment on it already - Because that's how YT premiere works

[atomic brook]

oh wait it premiered?

haha lmao I'm not subbed that's why

[old holly]

Just bought a 80he😎

[icy cosmos]

congratulations 🥳 , welcome to the club

[nova nexus]

The factory tour video showing this process with more info is day 3, coming out next week'

[old holly]

Can't wait to get it!

[buoyant solstice]

No? That's the Zinc cases?

[toxic loom]

😮

[nova nexus]

Oh you right, plastic verison today

[toxic loom]

🙂

[icy cosmos]

That´s why we´re haning out in this channel, trying desperately to get time to move faster

[atomic brook]

hahaha

have been for months

[toxic loom]

But why don't you launch a white version?

[buoyant solstice]

Because people were more interested in more unique colours.

And we had to set a limit somewhere on how many variants we'd offer.

[toxic loom]

Ok

[atomic brook]

there is a translucent white one

[toxic loom]

Ik

[atomic brook]

which people prefer over just opaque white

[toxic loom]

Why can't you order the ghost FROST version?

[atomic brook]

you can

[ornate pike]

I just got my 60he but lowkey I might also get the 80he module with the grey 80% case

[shell monolith]

Will you guys make in the future an zinc orange or plastic orange case for the 80he?

[wind tiger]

you can, you have to order as a module tho

[atomic brook]

it's a module exclusive

[wind tiger]

to reduce sku count

[nova nexus]

With the plastic versions, we aimed to provide the most mass-market appeal product for the best price (black plastic) and a couple neat alternatives that are possible only with plastic.
For the zinc version, we wanted to provide options for people wanting to customize it for their specific setups and preferences. That customization requires higher costs per product because of lower volumes. So we reserve that kind of customization for more premium options that have more margin associated to them

[atomic brook]

there isn't a 80he aftermarket case rn

[nova nexus]

yet

[ornate pike]

i mean the one from wooting themselves

[atomic brook]

please please please 80he tofu redux

[atomic brook]

it's called black in the website

I was confused cos you specified grey mb

[ornate pike]

no its called “raw”

[atomic brook]

I meannn

[ornate pike]

yea thats actually my fault for not specifying

[atomic brook]

that's kinda silver not gray no?

[ornate pike]

i mean same thing imo

[atomic brook]

ig

ngl I do wish the raw was a more polished look

but I think most like the way it is rn

[toxic loom]

Ahhhh

[atomic brook]

btw do you have keycaps in mind that will go with the raws?

[wind tiger]

you can just assemble it yourself, is quite easy

https://tenor.com/view/matsuoka-shuzo-never-give-up-motivation-japan-asiatic-clams-gif-16195359

[toxic loom]

The plastic case of the module is reduced. Will it stay like this or I it temporarily

[wind tiger]

?

[atomic brook]

the discount?

[nova nexus]

It'll stay that way

[wind tiger]

oh, it is reduced because it is a bundle deal essentially

[toxic loom]

Okay thx

[wind tiger]

so you get a price reduction on your first case essentially

[toxic loom]

Ahhhh

[wind tiger]

and people that just want to change the color of their keyboard later down the line pay the (fair) full price

[toxic loom]

And can you buy only a case?

[buoyant solstice]

Sure

[toxic loom]

How

[atomic brook]

yup but the discount will not be there

[toxic loom]

Ok

[atomic brook]

go to the top

press our products

[buoyant solstice]

Yeah sorry - The bundle discount is only for the first case purchased with an 80HE in the configurator.

[toxic loom]

How will they know,if it is my first case

[atomic brook]

https://tenor.com/view/stalking-spying-peaking-peak-hiding-gif-14341063

[nova nexus]

The discount exists if you have both items (80HE module and case) in your cart

If you have two cases and one module in your cart, then one of the cases gets the discount

[toxic loom]

Ahhhhh

[toxic loom]

Found it thx

Ok now I know wayyy more, than that, what I asked in the not answered email to the support i send a weak ago🤣

[atomic brook]

emails tend to be for more pressing issues

they are kinda overloaded rn

[icy cosmos]

Been like that for months 😅

[ornate pike]

no, but ill go with one thats white with prob some hinges of blue/black or even yellow

[atomic brook]

that's kinda my concern

other shades of white to black I can't see much colours pairing well with it

[ornate pike]

thats true

[narrow pendant]

Question about the 80he

Is the PCB model generally the one that sounds ‘deeper’ when typing? I’ve been gravitating toward the Ghost, but the white zinc is attractive to me.

The USB cable - is it a standard usbc cable that works with the keyboard?

[austere anchor]

Hey guys, I decided to go for the zinc case instead of the plastic case, do you think it is worth the extra $100?

[atomic brook]

up to you dawg

one is metal the other plastic

also 3 more hours to go

[robust turret]

until?

[atomic brook]

we all die

[robust turret]

i cant die before my 80he arrives

[atomic brook]

2nd video of the factory vlogs

[robust turret]

oh yeah, true

[atomic brook]

I probably will

of old age

[austere anchor]

i imagine the zinc is more durable but someone did say on reddit that plastic is more durable

[atomic brook]

in terms of longevity it's all the same

[robust turret]

will probs be a sound diff between metal and plastic case

[atomic brook]

in terms of dropping it?

[austere anchor]

i'm happy to pay extra for a more durable/reliable product but if its just to do with how it sounds and aesthetics then it may be wasted on me

[icy cosmos]

How do you define durable?

[atomic brook]

the metal one

[atomic brook]

they are both as reliable

[robust turret]

not really the wooting cables are rated for Tachyon, higher density cable

[austere anchor]

will last longer and is sturdier

[atomic brook]

sturdier yes, but both last the same amount

basically until you die

[robust turret]

i think zinc will suck more for fingerprints / spills

[atomic brook]

it's just a case, it's not gunna spoil

[robust turret]

as said in video, so i selected ghost

[atomic brook]

only for the raw

but you just need to clean it up

[robust turret]

yeah with ghost i dont think will bother me as much

[austere anchor]

okay, let me rephrase the question, disregarding sounds and aethetics, are there any benefits to having a zinc case over a plastic one?

[robust turret]

no

[atomic brook]

yes

a more efficient weapon

but that's it

[hybrid inlet]

It’s heavier so accidentally moving it while gaming shouldn’t happen as easily, but that’s just a whatever argument

[robust turret]

ignore Drakon,hes talking out his ass LOL

[atomic brook]

I mean obv lmao

[robust turret]

😄

[atomic brook]

ya it's the same

[hybrid inlet]

The case should be a 100% aesthetics decision

[atomic brook]

just get whichever u like

[icy cosmos]

It´s like a watch.. a plastic watch vs a steel watch

[hybrid inlet]

Or if you prefer light / heavy keyboards

[atomic brook]

same internals

it's just the case

[austere anchor]

has anyone got their hands on lekker v2 yet?

[robust turret]

you can be generic and get a white or black case in plastic or zinc. or look cool with a transparent case in plastic..
easy

[atomic brook]

nope

it will release soon

[icy cosmos]

The employees of Wooting

[austere anchor]

i went with lekker v2 as 1/3 the price of jades hoping that will turn out to be the right decision

[atomic brook]

it is

dw

[icy cosmos]

Why would it be a wrong decision?

[atomic brook]

the jades are also purely aesthetic

sound

[austere anchor]

i'm after the best and a lot of people on reddit were saying they prefer jads to lekker v1s

[atomic brook]

just sound

the v1 does rattle a bit

but the v2 has tighter tolerances

[icy cosmos]

Only if you like the sound? You´re not the people of Reddit

[austere anchor]

i dont care about sounds and aethetics, i thought there may have been mechanical benefit, guess not based on what you guys are saying

[atomic brook]

yup

[austere anchor]

ok what about 45s vs 60s?

[atomic brook]

the force to bottom out the keys

[atomic brook]

what keyboard do you have now?

[icy cosmos]

V2 has less play = less wiggle = Higher quality feel

[atomic brook]

^ the 80he all have v2, so dw about that

[austere anchor]

I'll be honest. I have competed on controller before, been to LAN etc. I am new to MnK but I have decided I just want the best from the start. I plan to get the Wooting 80 HE (Would have gone with 60 but I want F keys and better polling rate) and combine that with the Superlight 2, Right now I have some cheapo $30 cooler master keyboard and mouse combo LMAO so in other words bottom of the barrel

[atomic brook]

a specific one?

I'll need it to find the bottom out force

and then you can compare it to the l45 and l60

[austere anchor]

I think it's called the cooler master devastator 3, it's not a very good one I imagine

I bought it when I was maining controller but I have decided I want to get into Valorant and learn MnK

[atomic brook]

oh its fking membrane

[icy cosmos]

That´s a huge jump. From Aim Assit to no Aim assist.

[atomic brook]

basically the l45 are lighter to press down then the l60s

so ya just choose from that

[austere anchor]

Also from every muscle in your thumb and a tiny radius to every muscle in fingers, hand, wrist, arms, shoulders and back and a huge radius... ahaha don't shoot me MnK players

[atomic brook]

since ur last keyboard is membrane we can't compare it

[austere anchor]

I know this is an awful keyboard it never bothered me until recently

[icy cosmos]

I am just saying, it will need to train your brain and body to adapt. There´re plenty of tools to help you out. It will take time.

[atomic brook]

as it we can't compare the weight of the keys

[austere anchor]

Yeah I'll get on the aim labs soon enough aha

[atomic brook]

l45 and l60s are different in weight

or as in how much effort to press down

[austere anchor]

i went with l45s because based on the wooting website they were saying technically lighter is better but of course preference trumps that

good thing with me is I am like a lcean slate

[atomic brook]

yup

[austere anchor]

so if i just get used to it from the start it will kinda be all i know

so i wont be comparing it in my mind to other things apart from this cheapo $30 MnK set

[icy cosmos]

you can adjust the trigger points with software. Just remeber to finetune it to your liking/ playstyle

[austere anchor]

@icy cosmos @atomic brook Just want to say thank you guys for the advice. I think I will amend my order to plastic over zinc as I initially thought there was a benefit to zinc apart from sound and aesthetics. Highly appreciated

[atomic brook]

aight nw man gl

[upbeat berry]

well there is the self defense aspect

the zinc case can definitely kill people

[icy cosmos]

Always ready for a zombie apocalypse 🤣

[sonic helm]

no

[violet ridge]

people are gonna have weapons after losing a ranked match

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/wanted-slap-keyboard-smash-gif-12803888

[narrow pendant]

What’s tachyon ?

[lime falcon]

decreases input latency but you cant use rgb effects

its not noticeable tho

i think from 2ms to 1ms

[narrow pendant]

Can I use the rgb with a normal cable ?

Like, it powers the keyboard

[lime falcon]

depends on a cable

with bad cable you can have issues with a keyboard

[narrow pendant]

It powers my old keyboard ok

[austere anchor]

will an Anker USB A to USB C be okay?

[lime falcon]

HE keyboards need a lot of power

why you dont want to use stock cable?

[austere anchor]

My bad, i forgot it comes with a stock cable

I will use that

I just didn't get the coiled cable

[lime falcon]

Yea it comes with a cable

Module also comes with it

[narrow pendant]

Oh right 😅 I missed that

The coiled cable just looks over the top, in my personal opinion

[worldly pebble]

is there a way to check/edit your order after placing it

I don't remember which switches I picked for my 80he

[lime falcon]

Email wooting - [e-mail]

if you want to edit your order

you can check your order here https://hub.wooting.io/my/orders

Register with an email you used when you placed order

[worldly pebble]

oh I see it now thx

linear 60s by the looks of it

but on a side note if I ordered a secondary product rn would they both arrive together?

like if I got the lube set

[lime falcon]

Email them about that

and they will add it to your order

[worldly pebble]

alr ty

[atomic brook]

yes

if it's in the same order

you can check on the wooting hub

[heavy badge]

another vedio updates today,wow

[buoyant solstice]

As promised - the factory tour is a four video series with a video every two days 🙂

[heavy badge]

The next goal is to update a video every day

[buoyant solstice]

Sander would go on strike 😄

[atomic brook]

90 minutes 👀

[pseudo parrot]

sounds like a good time to take a break

[glossy elbow]

when the vid comin out

[buoyant solstice]

39 minutes.

There's a literal countdown on YT 😄

[glossy elbow]

mb

[atomic brook]

one thousand seconds left

[ebon lodge]

68 days until my 80HE is in my hands

unless the factory explodes

[icy cosmos]

I see you got the blue swag

[toxic loom]

How does the rgb of the frost Version look like is the hole keyboard shining

[buoyant solstice]

Not really.

The LEDs shine up through the PCB up into the switch. You're not going to have much light on the case itself.

[toxic loom]

Ok😅

You need to make a invisible case🤣

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/oakley-sciencedog-oakleyscience-gif-22346803

[bright jewel]

doesnt say how long the videos gotta be, just 1 sec clips gg

[brisk ruin]

just cut up the next planned video into 1s clips and upload daily 😄

[buoyant solstice]

Like an Advent calendar. One minute every day for the whole month to get the whole video.

[thick lichen]

Everyday a video. Damn. I'd be barely editing then and cheese through it lmao

[low token]

I can't wait for zinc case video.

[fresh citrus]

Are there other cases the 80 can fit into or no

[brisk ruin]

it's a pretty custom form factor, especially with the light bar, so probably not for a while

[thick lichen]

Zinc video is pretty interesting I must say 😄

[hearty sky]

nice video

[low token]

Well there wouldnt be diffrent packaging for zinc 80he?

[old holly]

80he looks amazing!

[fresh citrus]

That's what I figured Thank you

[thick lichen]

It does have the travel case within a box. So box size is like nearly double and pretty hefty 😛

[low token]

I thought it would be in seprete boxes

[worn compass]

Wait there’s a travel case with the 80he

[bronze ravine]

if you get the zinc case yes

[worn compass]

Oh

[pseudo parrot]

can buy it seperately as well

however zinc cases come inside of a travel case

[worn compass]

To everyone who gets the 80he before me, don’t spoil the box opening experience, just wanna know how good the board itself is

[atomic brook]

btw is the larger packaging box for the zinc prebuilt the same design as the others?

[pseudo parrot]

we will find out if its shown in the video

[atomic brook]

oh damn you can have custom spoiler tags in discord?

[low token]

I guess it is stupid to make 2nd packaging tho propably it is easier to ship

[thick lichen]

All in one

[thick lichen]

Yeah, it is about the same

[atomic brook]

[low token]

80he zinc box is 2.5x bigger than pcr

[atomic brook]

is almost 2 times

as in the keyboard is inside the travel case

[worn compass]

Will the 80he preorders ever ever stop existing (besides when the 80he is out) or will there just be like a batch 3 for like a wayyy later date

[thick lichen]

It will always be batches depending on how sales are doing. If batches don't run out too quickly then it should be remained in stock. If it becomes out of stock it will be a backorder.

[low token]

Case is 1x size of carring case

[worn compass]

Oh that’s cool

[thick lichen]

Same as how we thought the 60HE would remain in stock for a long while, as we have lots of stock based on our regular sales. Then the SOCD video came, and we were out again.

[atomic brook]

im begging the gods to have a tofu redux for the 80he

i really want the moon variation

[worn compass]

If some 80he’s are ever in stock I’ll definitely try to convince some Friends to get one XD

[thick lichen]

We always purchase like a good amount of keyboards in advance, even if we have stock, so you don't have to wait for batches. Some may say just make more, but then also the entire batch takes longer to make. So we often split large purchases to get it shipped faster so people get boards earlier.

[obsidian girder]

more factory tours!!!

[worn compass]

I see

[thick lichen]

Yasss SoonTM. 2 more coming up! Editing the last one as we speak. We will also do a tour in our NL warehouse with the packing of all mass produced boards to showcase that.

[obsidian girder]

so part 3 and 4? no spoilers

[pseudo parrot]

i am excited to see that

[obsidian girder]

rude 😩

[bright jewel]

good job Sander

[thick lichen]

Haven't seen what is in part 4. I do know keycaps is a thing, but not sure if Calder recorded more. Part 3 is mostly dedicated on the Zinc alloy cases.

[obsidian girder]

lets go

[real gulch]

what cable does the module come with

[pseudo parrot]

2 meter type c to c with a type c to a dongle included

[real gulch]

and what color variation

[buoyant solstice]

It doesn't.

It comes with the case - so the colour matches

[real gulch]

ah

what cable does black zinc come with then

[sullen sand]

pink

[real gulch]

the one shown in the last video (black with dark grey accent)?

[real gulch]

yippee

[buoyant solstice]

Mhmm

[thick lichen]

Yes. Main color is black, with gray and white accents I believe.

[thick lichen]

ah yes gray nvm 😄

[real gulch]

this a different one or?

[coarse crest]

Beyond hyped to see more of the white zinc cases 😮‍💨

[fallen epoch]

Looks the same

[violet ridge]

Eooting >>> Wooting

[unborn fractal]

Woot! Can't wait for Part 3 then. I ordered the Zinc Alloy Raw case, and I'm super excited! 😁 I'm literally beaming like a kid, idk why 😆

BTW, I ordered mine to US (friend's place), and my batch is NA-Bridge (ETA Mid Nov). I was wondering what batches and ETAs other people in US have who ordered before me.

[edgy ore]

yay neutral colors! thanks for not making it black and yellow again!

[buoyant solstice]

[worn compass]

[real gulch]

i was a bit scared when i saw them using the black and yellow cable on the assembly line

😄

[unborn fractal]

I hope the case or module comes with the dust cover. I had to order the module coz I wanted the L45 switches. It's a small thing but it's important.

[dim quartz]

tf do u mean??

[unborn fractal]

The transparent, plastic dust cover that goes on top of the keyboard, when you're not using it. They showed it in the latest factory tour video, going into the preassembled one.

[worn compass]

Tbh even if it doesn’t just use the case as a dust cover

[dim quartz]

ye ye i get what u mean

but ur gonna end up spending more w the module??

[unborn fractal]

Had to get the module. The L60 switches are too heavy for me.

[dim quartz]

nah nvm it's a 10 euro difference

[unborn fractal]

Yeah.

[dim quartz]

my mistake

[unborn fractal]

No worries mate.

[dim quartz]

i thought for some reason it was going to be less expensive to order the normal 80he and then the switches

lmao

[atomic brook]

yup everyone did think that

[coarse crest]

Does anyone know if the 80He will be getting the 5 sided dye take control key caps at some point?

[atomic brook]

but its actually cheaper to pack them all in 1 container

[dim quartz]

nah just dumbasses like me probably

it's 30 euros cheaper the way he does it

i am pretty sure

[unborn fractal]

I'm basically paying the same and losing out on the keycaps 😛

[atomic brook]

not as of rn

you could buy keycaps outside wooting tho

[dim quartz]

i still don't know what keycaps to buy

[atomic brook]

2 questions

[dim quartz]

i was looking at the cerakeys ones

but there are some issues and idk if i will like em

[atomic brook]

the cerakeys have issues

[dim quartz]

the v2 fixed most of them

[atomic brook]

but if you get the v2 and legendless its great

[dim quartz]

depends on what u mean tho

[dim quartz]

YEEE

[atomic brook]

legendless tho

[dim quartz]

i wanted to get the pink ones D:

[coarse crest]

Yeah I will probably experiment once the product has been out for a little bit, I’m excited to see what the modding community cooks up 🙂

[atomic brook]

the legend will peel off

[dim quartz]

too gay

[coarse crest]

I did really like the white/black marbling look

[dim quartz]

nah, not my issue anyways

the colors on their website look so good D:

[atomic brook]

yup

[atomic brook]

if you want any suggestions

[dim quartz]

https://www.cerakey.com/products/full-set-v2?variant=41564423913611

[atomic brook]

for other keycaps

[dim quartz]

pink purple black white green

[atomic brook]

you could just state ur preference and we can give u suggestions

[dim quartz]

the crazed ones have even more issues so no

[dim quartz]

i am really open to anything

[unborn fractal]

I ordered the Zinc Alloy Raw case. I'm refraining from ordering keycaps till I get the raw case in my hands. I wanna see what it looks like in IRL and then make a decision.

[dim quartz]

raw case

ewwwwwwwwwwww

jk

[atomic brook]

what coloured case?

darker or lighter theme?

and clean or fun?

[dim quartz]

white and ansi

[dim quartz]

idk D:

too fun and they are going to tire me probably

[verbal solar]

how long can i wait to pre order to be apart of NA-bridge batch

[atomic brook]

i could suggest the one that is very popular rn

[atomic brook]

early november

[unborn fractal]

Be careful with the cerakey. I read that the keycaps are heavy and if you're using lighter switches, you might face the issue of the key not coming up, after being pressed.

[verbal solar]

ty

[dim quartz]

that's why i'll buy another switch

the l60

or 65

i forgot what it is

[atomic brook]

the xrays

[unborn fractal]

I like lighter switches. I ordered the Lekker L45 and Gateron Jades. So Cerakeys is outta the picture.

[dim quartz]

only w the spacebar tho

[dim quartz]

nono don't worry about that

[unborn fractal]

Oof. I'm eyeing these as well.

[dim quartz]

i got the jade ones, the issue is just w the spacebar

the only sswitch u would have to do anything on is the spacebar one

can i even type that

[atomic brook]

its modeled after see through flesh and bones i guess

[dim quartz]

i don't wanna get banned

[atomic brook]

dont know how to really explain it

its fine lmao

[dim quartz]

i wanna type some slurs

[obsidian girder]

but why

[dim quartz]

idk

owning up to them is fun

[obsidian girder]

owning who exactly xd

its a keyboard community

[dim quartz]

NOOOO

if i call myself slurs then they kind of lose meaning

it doesn't matter

[atomic brook]

im debating between 2 looks

fk

[obsidian girder]

you will look great regardless ❤️

[atomic brook]

they are both so good
