[atomic brook]

yup

[coarse crest]

Ah I misread Mark’s update

[pseudo parrot]

check the wooting hub. your batch name will be listed there under the order

[coarse crest]

In a similar vein is production hopefully to start this week or just ETA should be done in a month from when batch 1 ends?

[atomic brook]

probably ya

[pseudo parrot]

#📦│batch_updates message

about a month after yep

[fleet forge]

so basically the "first batch" is the batch names they tagged in the post?

[buoyant solstice]

Champion and Kampioen yes

[atomic brook]

yes the region-champion(translated)

[buoyant solstice]

Brug / Bridge is batch 2

[pseudo parrot]

yep

[fleet forge]

cool. cant wait to get mine

get rid of the trash im using atm

[keen agate]

out of curiousity, is frost diff to ghost?
I only saw ghost, but heard of frost in one of the vids

[atomic brook]

frost white ghost black

[fleet forge]

ghost is black translucent and frost white

[keen agate]

Is frost on the store ?

[atomic brook]

yes module exclusive

[spring oar]

same, but gotta wait 2 more months

[fleet forge]

should be

[keen agate]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Hmm, if I reorder to get frost would I still be brug batch?

Might be tempted

[atomic brook]

ehh

that im not too sure

[nova nexus]

Yes

[atomic brook]

oh wait its the zinc cases that is out

[nova nexus]

Yes but no

We're going to order more to ensure we can match the module orders out of brug/bridge

[keen agate]

Also, one last stupid question while I have everyones attention, l60 vs l45 of the lekkers, which one is the base of the wooting when I order 80HE prebuilt?

[atomic brook]

l60s v2

no question is stupid lmao

[keen agate]

Yeah, just at work and dont have a lot of time to re-research, and I quite like the frost

[oak jungle]

81 till mid nov

[edgy pollen]

Since u replied to me before, seems like 60he’s have arrived in warehouse since it says its getting ready for shipment, but in order screen it still says back order, may wanna fix that or is it just bugged for me

[nova nexus]

In the process of updating figures as we speak 🙂

[edgy pollen]

nice nice

So i don’t need to do anything bcz it says queued for fulfilment?

[pseudo parrot]

indeed. just have to wait

[edgy pollen]

alr just making sure

[nova nexus]

Yes I already pushed the orders to queue which were made valid to ship by this morning's freight delivery

[keen agate]

Seems like some communication w servers is not working on the site, unable to place order atm.

But its okay, will take some time for everything to get sorted given Im cancelling one to make another, just thought id flag up the fact the cart isnt working for me

[nova nexus]

Since they were just placed in the last few days, no need to do address confirmation

[edgy pollen]

I cant wait till it arrives tho

Im so excited idk why

[fallen epoch]

[fleet forge]

im getting both lekker switches. which ones are you guys using?

[tight cypress]

L80s

[fleet forge]

those exist?

[icy cosmos]

Embrace the feeling and celebrate the joy.

[pseudo parrot]

im going to swap my board 60s with l45 v2s

[manic arrow]

Yo finally change to 80 HE Wrist Rest

[tight cypress]

https://wooting.io/product/lekker-spring-packs?Weight=Linear80

[manic arrow]

Now patiently waiting

[fleet forge]

i got a wrist rest as well. im still using my wooting tkl wristrest to this day but with another kb

[edgy pollen]

Frfr

[icy cosmos]

welcome aboard

[weary wren]

While waiting for the my 80he I have been using a drunkdeer 65. Has anyone compared the wootings to that? I am curious how much of an upgrade it will be feel wise. I understand wootings software and everything are a lot better. I am interested in the switches mostly.

[midnight iron]

completely depends on the switches you're comparing them to

drunkdeer uses raesha, which aren't the best but not the worst either. They're average HE switches - kind of on lekker 1.5/2 level

if comparing to jades or raw he though then the jades/raw he will beat those by most peoples standards for sound/feel

current drunkdeers (and other raesha switch HE boards) have the issue of being raesha based for switches, which severely limits options there

[oak jungle]

do I have lube the new springs before switching or it's will be okay to use them without

[atomic brook]

you mean the lekker spring packs?

[oak jungle]

yeah

[buoyant solstice]

[atomic brook]

they arent lubed right?

[buoyant solstice]

The springs? No that would be a logistical nightmare 😄

But you also don't NEED to lube the springs, if you're swapping in an existing switch.

But if you CHOOSE to lube I can only say this - If it's worth doing, it's worth doing properly. Your keyboard deserves better than a bag

[atomic brook]

mb

[midnight iron]

Bag lube them. It’s super quick and most of your time is spent opening and swapping switches anyway so the bag lube barely adds any time

Takes what maybe 2 mins to throw them into a bag and shake

Also I have no idea why mansen hates bag lube so much. It’s super simple to do and is the standard way to lube springs these days unless you run out of oil/don’t have any readily available

[buoyant solstice]

It's lazy and inconsistent 😄

[midnight iron]

No it’s not.

[buoyant solstice]

And you make a huge mess pulling them away from each other.

[midnight iron]

it’s very consistent. I have no idea where you got this idea of it’s being inconsistent

[nova nexus]

Lazy is not lubing at all - this is my preference

[midnight iron]

You really don’t make much of a mess. It’s fine if you don’t want to bag lube but it legit sounds like you’ve barely if ever bag lubed and just dislike it

[low token]

But you put liquid krytox in bag so it is faster

[midnight iron]

I don’t really care if people want to bag lube or brush lube their springs - either works fine. But one isn’t some greater method than the other.

[atomic brook]

ngl i do prefer hand lubing

but bag lubing is fine if you dont want to spend much effort

[midnight iron]

I’ve done both and honestly there was literally no difference in end result

[atomic brook]

prefer as in enjoyment

[midnight iron]

Whichever you prefer or is more convenient to you based on the lube you have on hand works fine

[toxic zephyr]

I mean it's super convenient, the mess is contained in the bag and you have like a couple that are super twisted into each other, nbd

everything is evenly coated and you use the least lube possible

[valid comet]

Morning wooting gang

[toxic zephyr]

seems like a no-brainer over painstakingly hand-applying it to each spring

[midnight iron]

Yeah I don’t really get where people think it’s inconsistent or messy. If anything I find oil lube more consistent if done right

Then you just throw the bag out when you’re done

[toxic zephyr]

I've only ever lubed switches once and bag-lubed the springs and it took 30 seconds and everything was done and there's no spring crunch at all so

gets my vote at the very least as someone who isn't into sitting at the desk for 12 hours brushing springs

[buoyant solstice]

12 hours

[toxic zephyr]

even 1 hour is too much

[tight cypress]

But imagine how many House MD episodes you can watch in the meantime

[quiet pawn]

brother

[spring oar]

something to do at least when you're always at home

[toxic zephyr]

I don't watch shows 😭

[buoyant solstice]

Then you're not going to be lubing your switches in the first place.

[toxic zephyr]

ngl I will send my lekkers over to someone to lube when I get my 80he

[valid comet]

morning brother

[quiet pawn]

How are you? How're all the tweaks?

[midnight iron]

I prelubed all my raw he already for 80he. Sitting in nice box waiting for October

Tom cruise movie night made the lubing go quick

[bronze copper]

I think we need 20-10gf springs the 35-20 are stil a bit to heavy

[quiet pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-push-up-army-gif-15310843

[toxic zephyr]

hell let's go straight to 0g

then just use the keyboard upside down

[icy cosmos]

Good evening from Europe

Keycaps arrived

[buoyant solstice]

[icy cosmos]

Waiting for the star of the show now

[midnight iron]

First time I’ve heard white wrist rest called the star, but I’ll allow it

[icy cosmos]

Hum, I am also trying to distract myself….

I actually went with black wrist rest to match the keycaps

@midnight iron what happened to the white Zink church?

[midnight iron]

merged with the raw zinc church

Combination of churches to reach higher spiritual pressure

[red heart]

Mine still havent shipped i think

Waiting for the same ones

Pls post pictures and all

Also did you get it with norde kit or without cause maybe thats the difference

[icy cosmos]

The Nord kit will ship with another order. So it has not yet dispatched yet.

[red heart]

Ah

Yeah ive been waiting for a while now

Did you get novelties as well

I‘d love to hear your impressions

[high whale]

So, Keychron is releasing a 96% HE in a few hours, and a TKL (Q3) in 2 days... this is difficult news to accept for some one that pre- ordered a 80HE and currently expects to get it by November... decisions decisions... 🥺

[red heart]

I am 80he believer

[toxic zephyr]

get the keychron if you can't wait

[atomic brook]

ngl

[high whale]

Me too... but it's getting hard

[atomic brook]

i kinda lost faith in keychron

[midnight iron]

I mean you buy wooting for the software and long term support. If you don’t care about those then there’s 473938 options these days from China

realistically keychron still hasn’t caught up in the consistency of performance and software department

[high whale]

They open sourced the HE keyboards

[midnight iron]

Yeah and open source hasn’t caught up yet

[toxic zephyr]

also known as "offloading work to volunteers"

[high whale]

True, but you know how it goes

[toxic zephyr]

never gonna catch up to closed-source software in terms of stability and user experience

in terms of features sure

[high whale]

I am very split at the moment

[icy cosmos]

Sorry I didn’t get the Novelties alu keycaps. I feel they’re overpriced. I got the base kit, the Calavera and NorDe

[midnight iron]

What are you hoping to get from keychron or wooting is the real question

[atomic brook]

flip a coin :)

[red heart]

Yeah i meant the calavera novelties not the artisan cap

[high whale]

The best performance and the best 'feel'. I know Wooting wins the first one. The 2nd idk

[red heart]

A keyboard

[midnight iron]

Keychron won’t feel any better than a wooting

[snow canyon]

Is keychrons current existing HE keyboard receiving software updates?

[atomic brook]

well

[midnight iron]

Basically guaranteed since we already know what switches it uses

[red heart]

I did think about ordering the artisan but then it was sold out already so i didnt have to make that descision

[high whale]

Yes, and it's open source now

[midnight iron]

he feel is basically all based on switches

[snow canyon]

Oh very nais

[midnight iron]

End of the day if you care about feel you just buy better switches

[atomic brook]

the 60he and the 2he needs a boost

[high whale]

Ngl, but the OSA keycaps look nice... would need to try though

[atomic brook]

a cleaner looking case might be nice

[midnight iron]

Realistically there’s no advantage keychron has right now beyond maybe it arrives earlier? I’m not sure what their delivery time is

[icy cosmos]

The Quality is legiti, everything is sharp. The Calavera graphics seems to be printed on the surface. It’s thick but it can definitely wears away

[atomic brook]

👀 optimum

[red heart]

Ty

I cant wait for mine to come

I think i have a keycap problem

[high whale]

Dispatched in 2 days from China. 2 weeks delivery to EU

[icy cosmos]

Waiting for that collaboration.. hoping there’s a keycap set too

[midnight iron]

Both keyboards have gasket mount and you’d just swap wootings switches out if you were particular about having a certain switch feel

keychron still needs time to get their software together. I don’t really know why you’d go keychron if you care at all about performance

If you don’t really care much about performance though then that’s a different story

[toxic zephyr]

for me it's simple as, a company pumping out SKUs every other week has to be cutting corners somewhere

[icy cosmos]

Keycaps can change the look of a keyboard. Just like how watch bands and bracelets can change the look and feel of a watch

[toxic zephyr]

and if they are cutting corners.... I'd rather get a board from a company who's not cutting corners

[red heart]

This is why i spend 2x the price of my watch on watchbands

[icy cosmos]

At least you don’t have to buy camera gears 🤣.

[high whale]

AFAIK, the Q1 HE beats the 60HE in raw performance right now. 80HE it's a different story, that's why I'm holding the 80HE pre-order. Confused af

[red heart]

Mfs spending 10k on a vintage lens to put on their 500 euro camera

[midnight iron]

Not true at all

Check eyejoker - I don’t know who told you this

Q1 he is not at all the pick for performance or software

[high whale]

I believe I saw the results from the test job wooting had on the stand when comparing keyboards

[icy cosmos]

That’s the right choice. Any camera is good in 2024. The Lenses is what makes the look. You can’t put a price on it 😅

[midnight iron]

Keychron q1 he is not the performance pick at all. In almost every test you can find it’s actually no better than even some cheapie boards like atk 68

60he+ has actually seen performance improvements as well in recent tests due to what I’d assume is further software tweaks by wooting to reach sub 1ms somehow

You might be confusing q1 he with another board if you think it’s a performance powerhouse because it’s absolutely never been marketed or tested as one

[red heart]

When will wooting invent future reading so they can reach sub 0 latency

[icy cosmos]

I don’t think latency is a problem. Just like how Quartz movements is very accurate now. You need to find other things to excel at

[red heart]

Other than layouts i dont even know what wooting could do to stay ahead but maybe thats why i am not getting paid to figure that out

[icy cosmos]

There’re a lot of things to explore. Just don’t go with Intel playbook and stay static

[midnight iron]

Even the rtings test has 60he ahead of q1 he, much less 80he

Left is 60he

Right is q1 he

That’s before you get into any inconsistencies with rapid trigger/deadzone actuations which is extremely common with a lot of non wooting boards

[north egret]

Has anyone tested the newer gen of RT keyboards for latency? Atk Rs7 pro, DD G75 etc

[midnight iron]

Latency wise most boards are all ‘fine’ - but problem is consistency normally

And that’s unfortunately rarely tested

[north egret]

Q1 HE has a high deadzone, I think Mionigg tested it recently

[midnight iron]

I honestly wouldn’t buy a thing from dd or atk given how awful the companies have been with their bricking and firmware issues

[cunning wadi]

Hey, I have a quick question. Can I connect the Wooting 80HE to a Mac?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes?

Software and everything.

[cunning wadi]

okay thanks

[midnight iron]

Atk literally just abandoned entire board sku when they had bricking happen due to power failure parts. And drunkdeer is currently experiencing mass bricking in their a75 line but have done no recall and just keep pumping out more lines

Both companies will just ignore any issues and just pump out newer lines lol

[north egret]

Yeah I have the ATK68 rn, I got a replacement since the first one got bricked, cant wait for my 80he to deliver 😮‍💨

[midnight iron]

I think the bigger issue with deadzone testing also is how it gets cheesed nowadays

You can artificially make your board perform better in deadzone tests by just allowing lower actuation points that are unfiltered/noisy noise curves

which is what a ton of Chinese pcb makers do

The alternative is you more heavily filter those lower noise curves to compensate for them being too sensitive for human usage normally, but that lead to increased latency that doesn’t show in a deadzone test

All of this just leads to the current Chinese board economy of everyone doing 0.001 actuations and 3748273k polling rates without actually focusing on things that matter like rapid trigger consistency

[toxic zephyr]

this is how chinese companies operate, full stop

move on to the next product when you reached your goal of fooling x amount of people to buy the last one

I don't think customer retention or satisfaction is in their vocabulary at all, just not their way of doing business

in the business of making a quick buck by riding the wave and not in the business of generating a customerbase for years to come

[north egret]

This is very interesting, thanks for the detailed answer

[humble oyster]

204 usd total for 80HE module, l45 switches, just black keycaps, and ghost case

[kindred coral]

Can I edit my order for the 80HE prebuilt to add just white keycaps?

[toxic zephyr]

sure

[icy cosmos]

Sounds like a good deal 😉. Why would anyone hesitate

[lime plover]

is anyone getting a reply from customer support? I sent an email 10 days ago and still did not get a response yet

[icy cosmos]

Don’t worry, you’re definitely in line if you’ve sent in a ticket. Just be patient

[restive bay]

450€ with zinc case, lube and toolset. will go to almost 500 with the PCR ABS for living in Gran Canaria. Shipping cost is 74€ 🥶

[worn prairie]

Zamn

My keyboard is on its last legs

[restive bay]

anyone here has the 60he with L45 switches?

[bronze copper]

@restive bay I do why ?

[restive bay]

do you have it with foam and tape? I would like to know if it sounds thockier instead of clicky

Im most likely going to purchase both

[bronze copper]

@restive bay im currently using the 30-20gf springs with a modded Geon raptor HE magnet 2100 gauss in a default leker housing

ohh sound i do not care for jsut raw performance

[restive bay]

I would like to have both, performance and thock sound

performance is guaranteed with wooting

that extra is the cherry on top

[bronze copper]

I think the sound had to deal with are that the keycap it self can deflect

well I had to mod the whole switch to make it better 0 pushing or scrapping/ish

have you tried usinmg cotton on the inside of the keycaps

[restive bay]

nope I dont have the 60he but Im planning on getting one, thats why Im asking about the thock sound

I ordered both cases for the 80he since the PCR ABS sounds reaaaaaaaaaally good

Saw a video about 60he being thock with the alumaze and keycaps from the website but wanted to know feedback from owners too

[sleek lynx]

you should probably ask here #🔧│keyboard_modding

[coarse galleon]

Is there a detail page on the Lekker v2 switches? I only found this site: https://wooting.io/post/the-best-keyboard-switches-for-gaming. Is it 45g end force for Lekker v2 switch or what?

[buoyant solstice]

Same switches as before, L45 and L60. But an improved housing with less wobble.

Grammage isn't changing.

[coarse galleon]

why is it L45 if the website says the key start is at 40gf? Is it different? It is confusing

[buoyant solstice]

We measure by end pressure.

[coarse galleon]

so, just curious so i understand... you can push the button with 40gf but it will take 45gf for it to activate? is that correct?

[buoyant solstice]

L45

[coarse galleon]

thank you for your help

[high whale]

Keeping my pre-order until X-Mas. Meantime ordering a Q3 HE for comparison purposes and ditch the lesser good

[humble oyster]

I'm probably going to buy the l60 switches as well

[icy cosmos]

https://tenor.com/view/bobs-burgers-louise-belcher-evil-laugh-fire-flames-gif-4453998

but srsly tho

you will be put to a later batch

[fleet forge]

keyboards are some peoples hobby

[tidal sleet]

It's so expensive

[buoyant solstice]

I know plenty of people who lost that kind of money in recent bankruptcies in the GB community.

[fleet forge]

well some people keep buying. ive just been gaming for an eternity and bought different keyboards every couple years over the years even tho i definitely didnt need to

[icy cosmos]

That’s why we have this channel. To make the time fly by faster

[quiet lynx]

why doesn't everyone in chat start doing r&d into time travel

to speed up the process 🤯

[icy cosmos]

Because it will disrupt the time continuum

[upbeat berry]

makes sense. i thought its because thats more work than ranting on the internet

[icy cosmos]

Go do your lesson with StarTrek Voyager

[zealous oak]

do we really achieve that?

[icy cosmos]

In a way we do, it’s all about preference 😆

[nova nexus]

I read this and thought you were talking about the British economy

[icy cosmos]

The more you distract yourself from the actual waiting…. The faster the time seems to move…

[zealous oak]

but here we are posting in this channel precisely

[upbeat berry]

close enough

[buoyant solstice]

One of the bigger group buy organisers went belly up officially after months of being radio silent about people's expensive keycap and other preorders.

[icy cosmos]

That’s the distraction .

[upbeat berry]

which one? drop?

[buoyant solstice]

And the trouble is that most can't chargeback since these were placed over a year ago

[zealous oak]

You and me are Kampioen so, not too far from getting it

[sullen sand]

We're getting keyboards soooooooon

[icy cosmos]

Yeah, we can flex on people for a month 😅

[nova nexus]

Tell you what, I'm getting excited and I already have an 80HE

[upbeat berry]

same

i also have parts for an 80he

lol

[zealous oak]

That's a new level of excitement

[nova nexus]

Updated the internal timeline with exact dates for when all the things are happening

[upbeat berry]

although i did drop the pcb

[sullen sand]

How about you send me yours and then you can take mine and have the unboxing experience all over again? Sounds like a good deal

[nova nexus]

I never got an unboxing experience

[icy cosmos]

It’s something about getting the final product on hand.

[upbeat berry]

you assume woot staff get any experience at all....

[tight swallow]

I will probably forget I ordered it by the day it arrives

[sullen sand]

rip

Well my offer seems even better now

[nova nexus]

I got handed a keyboard with almost all of the keys and stuffed it into my backpack as I fled Taiwan

Good thing I have replacement keycaps because someone Took Control

[upbeat berry]

get some half done prototype or EVT sample or such and thats what you get

[upbeat berry]

oh thats where i got my deskmat

i wondered why i cant check my order to download an invoice

[icy cosmos]

I can see how the airport security scanning your bag.. wondering if there’s something fishy going on

[buoyant solstice]

They mostly chuckle when you pull out a keyboard during scanning.

[zealous oak]

Then I would accept @sullen sand offer, just saying...

[buoyant solstice]

Speaking from experience

[nova nexus]

Yea true haha

[quiet lynx]

starting to realize these purple named people are elitist who already got their 80he and were sent here to mock us to then pay for therapy ran by big pharma

Excuse me, the term is *exceptionalist

[hybrid warren]

cant wait to watch some unboxing of 80HE so I can still have patience waiting for mine

[zealous oak]

Something tells me you will have plenty of them in a month approx 🤣

[icy cosmos]

People need to elevate those unboxing like the gender reveal parties 🎉

[quiet lynx]

if someone's 80he gets destroyed in shipping I'll legitimately feel so bad

imagine ☠️

[zealous oak]

I don't knoe about you but I find it funny when I see any unboxing and the trend now seems to be open the boxes with bigger knives over time

[buoyant solstice]

It'll be a sad time, but we do keep spare boards around for any warranties or shipping issues.

[sand girder]

Time to go at it with a $300 jknife?

[buoyant solstice]

If you're one of the unlucky recipients of such a board, you won't have to wait for another batch.

[quiet lynx]

that's good

I'm also excited to see the updates to wootility

My wallet after my 2nd 80HE purchase

[icy cosmos]

Always hunting for bargains 😅

[sand girder]

Kitchen knives max out at ~1k for stuff with custom handles. Keyboards max out at like 4k for truly 1 of a kind stuff.

But audio has people spending 10,000 for their home setups ☠️

[valid comet]

my dad likes audio

goes aftermarket shopping to build a great home theater

its really nice so far :O

[sand girder]

Yeah, I can definitely hear the difference when I try out high end stuff, it just doesn't matter too much to me in terms of my enjoyment.

[icy cosmos]

10.000 might get you a watch

[wispy trellis]

when my father died i renovated the apartment with his audio setup alone was around 40.000k €

[sand girder]

yeah, but a watch is to show off, it's different than stuff you're actually using for enjoyment.

[icy cosmos]

That is also the cost of a watch 😅

[icy cosmos]

That’s a matter of perspective and preference

They’re both made for enjoyment

[sand girder]

Eh, when I see someone with a really expensive watch I imagine them driving a cybertruck

[icy cosmos]

That the new rich tech bros

Only in USA.

[sand girder]

It's like how they made the mercedes/bmw logo bigger on the cheaper models

[icy cosmos]

Real rich people drive vintage vehicles

[icy cosmos]

There’s a term: Logo tuning

[sand girder]

Or 2008 toyota camrys

[wispy trellis]

300$ 😉

[sand girder]

The shoes or the socks?

[wispy trellis]

last friday saw someone at work with this instand loss of respect 😛

[sand girder]

Maybe if the socks are super comfortable, but I'd rather have a gaming keyboard

[icy cosmos]

You forgot this https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us/chips-bag-red-7414522AA4O6526.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqzAzWLoSBJuzUPN09m0XxTBID5rV0PyZI0kZe1fRs9JdUCR2jR

Let’s just say the world has endless of crazy stuff to throw money at 😆

A wooting keyboard seems a very sensible choice

[humble oyster]

I already ordered it so I don't think you can have two modules anyway

[icy cosmos]

Also I would rather go to real concert for 10k than buying a hifi system for the same amount. There’s no substitute for the real deal

[icy cosmos]

If you’re on batch nr 2 you should be alright to add more.

[humble oyster]

What just by emailing wooting?

[wet cargo]

Is there going to be a significant performance difference between the 60HE and 80HE*?

[icy cosmos]

I got a reply last week. If I added one more keyboard/ module to my order I will be moved down to batch nr 2

[zealous oak]

No

[icy cosmos]

In your order page: open a support ticket and state what you want to add

[humble oyster]

Well I did it

[icy cosmos]

The billion dollar question. = no

Unless your performance needs to have more buttons

[sand girder]

Arrow keys are performance

[humble oyster]

Honestly I prefer full sized but 80% plus numpad is good enough

[sand girder]

There's a full size wooting

[humble oyster]

ik

But v2 switches

[icy cosmos]

That’s old

[humble oyster]

And much newer

[icy cosmos]

No rattling

[sand girder]

You can buy the full size and the switches, but 80HE is shinier yeah

[humble oyster]

Plus I got it for cheaper than the two he

[icy cosmos]

And the Zink version is about 2kg

[humble oyster]

I like the sound of the plastic case more tbh

[atomic brook]

should have been tungstun

[icy cosmos]

If you get 2 you will save yourself a gym membership

[icy cosmos]

I am looking forward to it too

[humble oyster]

I already have 5 pound steel ball bearings for that

[zealous oak]

Me too, but I ordered zinc so I let it be

[icy cosmos]

Or real ceramic / 3D printed titanium

[sand girder]

Alu cases generally feel much nicer, idk about the zinc though

[atomic brook]

i mean 60he has the gray collab with optimum

[zealous oak]

Can you imagine the weight

[atomic brook]

why cant the 80he have a tungsten collab with hacksmith

[merry grotto]

me too, I just ordered a ABS case seperate - its 39 Euro + bit shipping - so I have both and can decide 🙂

[zealous oak]

I will take a look at custom cases once they release it

[merry grotto]

sorry wrong person to answer

[humble oyster]

1000 dollar case

[icy cosmos]

Nice choice. I also ordered both so I can experience both materials

[atomic brook]

would pay double

[icy cosmos]

Man of culture

Frankly there’re many materials to experiment with. But the problem is the quality and cost of manufacturing. 3D printing titanium is crazy expensive atm.

[sour saddle]

how wide is the 80? I would really like to buy the native wrist rest, but it's just too much adding up for this keyboard

[buoyant solstice]

It's one of those neat things we post on the product page.

[sour saddle]

Really

Oh lol it was hitten by a drop down lmao

[icy cosmos]

Oh Apple just announced event on the 9/9… another distraction making time go faster

[zealous oak]

The will announce a 1000$ keyboard

[atomic brook]

with apple inteligence predicting your inputs

-1ms

[icy cosmos]

Are you dreaming? For 1000 you’re only getting a monitor stand or some wheel for your computer 🤣

[tight swallow]

full on haptic touchpad flat keyboard more flimsy than their current keyboard

[icy cosmos]

Apple can’t do keyboard 😅. It’s sad but true

Maybe Apple will buy wooting and then make a keyboard

[tight swallow]

that thing made me sad when I saw it for the first time

their fancy mouse was intresting, but horrible to actually use, and it wasnt even mine so I didnt have to charge it

[zealous oak]

1000 for a pack of their own switches

[icy cosmos]

Looks like they’re pay back their customers of the bad butterfly switch that breaks down by dust 🤣

Apple does many cool things. But none of them will last the test of time.

[zealous oak]

They do cool things, but their price is a nonsense

That's how I see that

[icy cosmos]

You’re not their target group. Just like Rolex watches.

[tight swallow]

Rolex watches are just weird

probably the ugliest of the "fancy" watches

[atomic brook]

eh

was cool in their time

we just moved on to cleaner looking watches

[zealous oak]

Well I would never buy a rolex even if I win the lottery

[icy cosmos]

Say want you want. People who buys them are willing to pay big money for something that is not hand made. Just like Apple

[icy cosmos]

I totally agree with you on that one.

You got to give them respect for being able to sell the same thing with higher price tags each year for the past decades 🤣

I think the logic is the same. People who buy custom keyboards in group buys are buying the design and hopefully getting something unique. Rolex and Apple just made a bigger operation out if it

[atomic brook]

id probably rather buy artisan watches

[zealous oak]

It's similar but not the same, some people buy apple products because of the brand, they don't care about any other thing

[atomic brook]

like mr jones

[zealous oak]

I have family that buys Apple products because it is Apple and nothing more

[icy cosmos]

There’re a lots of options nowadays.

[tight swallow]

how about a devon thread watch, it is also ugly and impractical but actually at least a bit interesting XD

[atomic brook]

you looked at mr jones?

https://mrjoneswatches.com/collections/all-watches

very abstract

[tight swallow]

ohh the paper crane one is nice

[zealous oak]

and direct, lol

[atomic brook]

ya lmao

thats the one i wanna get

[icy cosmos]

Yes I have. But I am saving up for a https://kuronotokyo.com

[atomic brook]

oooo

thats good

all sold out?

[icy cosmos]

Yep. Wait for 2025 releases

Talking about unboxing experience https://youtu.be/zFReR7G5xPM?si=YyL_p4jo9cptbZpB

[atomic brook]

how much are they usually?

[icy cosmos]

Starts at $1500

[atomic brook]

jesus

actually fair ngl

[icy cosmos]

It’s hard to beat JP in unboxing experience. 😅

[atomic brook]

ngl you sold me

ill add it to my collection of cool shit i want

[icy cosmos]

Sorry… that’s why you don’t want to know more about stuff.. because you will just want more stuff 🤣

[atomic brook]

[icy cosmos]

If Wooting was a watch maker. It would be the german maker Sinn

[sour saddle]

If we talk aready about watches: https://horozonix.com/collections/frontpage/products/santos-38-weiss-modifizierte-mechanische-seiko-uhr
This is the Seiko NH35 movement inside the Cartier Santos case. Pretty beautiful and much more affordable 😄

I'd rather pay 330€ than over 8k or something

[humble oyster]

mmmmm watches

I have a citizen ecodrive skyhawk a-t

I have a weird obsession with my watch being exactly on time

atomic time 😍

[sour saddle]

Your watch looks hella confusing xD I would never read the time in a few seconds on that

[humble oyster]

yep

[sour saddle]

And I have a fable for automatic watches. They are more off on time but still very luxuirous

[humble oyster]

It's pretty easy after like a day

the unboxing experience is heavenly though

[sour saddle]

for 600€ it should lol

[humble oyster]

You open the case and the watch sets itself up automatically when light hits it

[jade widget]

Digital watches are great for that

[humble oyster]

I like a da hands

[sour saddle]

I am not a fan of those cluttered watches

[humble oyster]

to each their own

I don't get simple watches that are expensive but like my preference

[sour saddle]

the Rolex Datejust chocolate is by far my favorite watch of all time! But I can't afford it lol

[weary wren]

Why are we talking watches in the 80he channel

[sour saddle]

Or Day-Date like here

[humble oyster]

because clearly it's on topic

[sour saddle]

Both are beautiful

[humble oyster]

I made the mistake of buying an invicta once

[icy cosmos]

I often draw parallel between watches and keyboard because they’re very similar. Keyboard has a simple function. But it can also hold a lot of technology

[weary wren]

I love watches, Mods normally don't allow off topic here. They must be asleep

[humble oyster]

never again

[buoyant solstice]

[jade widget]

True back to #💬│general people

[buoyant solstice]

Bish you thought. I am always here, watching, observing, noting.

[icy cosmos]

Winter is coming

[humble oyster]

[sour saddle]

He probably has a collection of 100k somewhere in his shelves

[icy cosmos]

He has a collection of keyboards

[humble oyster]

wooting needs to make a special edition gold keyboard

1 of 1 70k

[atomic brook]

rare golden postcard 👀

[icy cosmos]

Many keyboards enthusiasts are also watch enthusiasts 🤣

[atomic brook]

one per batch

[humble oyster]

would still be less expensive than the average AP lmao

[sour saddle]

AP's are cool but overrated

Aswell as Richard Mille like wtf

Jacob & Co is garbage too

[humble oyster]

yea lol

they have decent sales though

I know cause my dad makes their Point of Sale software

[sour saddle]

Patek Phillipe Nautilus tho is gorgeous

[humble oyster]

real

[valid comet]

so me too

[worn compass]

Is there a video or part of a video about L v2 stem wobble?

[dapper niche]

Damn I forgot i ordered this keyboard

Time to forget again

[worn compass]

It’ll be best for you

[lunar cloak]

i cant forget, I genuinely had a dream about getting the module last night

I was stressing because I havent ordered my switches yet, luckily I woke up

[worn compass]

yo I also have dreams about things Im excited about

[granite anvil]

Same bro 😂

My keyboard is getting delayed because of a stupid frost case

When is your set to ship?

[olive basin]

My order is now mid-late October? sadge

is it because of the white case?

[jade widget]

The delay was due to this #📦│batch_updates message

[olive basin]

yea I saw, I was asking as a joke really

[granite anvil]

Thats for the 80he?

[olive basin]

yea

NA-Champion lot

[lunar cloak]

yea its weird because I hardly remember my dreams if I have any

[granite anvil]

Bro is living life

[granite anvil]

Mine is for December

We should swap addresses, you get mine and i get yours if you don’t mind waiting a bit more 🫡🫡

Help a brother out

[olive basin]

heh

[granite anvil]

What parts did you pick?

[olive basin]

White zinc with black keys

[granite anvil]

Sheash, i was planning on getting the zinc, but it would come out too expensive so i got the coiled cable and wrist wrest instead

[olive basin]

I like a keeb with some substantial weight

thicc

[valid comet]

all black zinc

[granite anvil]

I’ll probably wait for a aftermarket case to release

[granite anvil]

When did you order yours?

[olive basin]

First day

[light hill]

i had that dream too before😭

[drifting shuttle]

The Wooting clan. How goes it. Stoked for 80HE?

1.5 months to go

[granite anvil]

Not so stoked, knowing mine is only coming in 3-4 months

[humble oyster]

I have 2 preorded things that come around then

the 80HE and the K2 Plus

100HE when

[granite anvil]

What parts you got in your 80he

[granite anvil]

We technically have a 100he

[humble oyster]

ghost case, l45 switches (adding the l60s too) and just black keycaps

[granite anvil]

I just got the l45s, since i never used such a light switch before

[humble oyster]

finger oil display maximum

[granite anvil]

My entire setup is white

Had to do it

[humble oyster]

yea, my old kb had 55g switches but it was tactile

I'm borrowing a kb for the wait rn that's linear switches

50g switches

[granite anvil]

What keyboard you got atm?

[humble oyster]

borrowing a razer blackwidow mini v3, but the kb I'm actually replacing is an apex 5

my friend got his two he so I'm just using his old kb cause some of my apex 5 keys are dying and I have a lot of essays to write

[granite anvil]

Is it hot swap? The apex 5?

[humble oyster]

no

I mean yes but you can't buy the switches and the switches aren't what's dying

[snow canyon]

Anyone use white key caps with their regular 60he case? Thinking of using that for the black 80he case

[worn prairie]

Bro I don’t think my current keyboard will last till October

[humble oyster]

my apex def wouldn't

3 of the keys have like a 50% chance of functioning

[worn prairie]

Today I broke the F key

It’s a 90s keyboard that I have for emergencies

[humble oyster]

[clever totem]

get a cheap af one off facebook market place for like $5

[worn prairie]

Probably what I’ll do

[humble oyster]

5???

free is more like it

[worn prairie]

Matter of fact they’ll pay ME

[clever totem]

a lot of people dont list things as free in my area anymore cause of too many annoying people hitting them up\

[worn prairie]

Haven’t seen a free ad in a while

[clever totem]

It’s always fun for me to see what people are selling secondhand but half the shit is marked for msrp

$9 off wow

[mystic pasture]

Production done?

[cedar void]

? are we looking at the same listing

it says 180 docked down to 1 dollar

[clever totem]

they do that for attention

not a chance they're selling it for a dollar

[cedar void]

[quiet pawn]

usually OBO listing

[small rune]

Takes a few days more for qc, hope nothing happen🤣

[primal skiff]

Im gonna cry thought it was coming sooner 😭😭

[woven drift]

sadly us stinky americans get things last.....

[ornate pike]

freedom fighting units

[bronze forge]

When will the Wooting 80he delivery date for secondary buyers be decided?

[loud forge]

I just checked mine.. rip me

[modest drum]

If no ICU issue you guys would of had yours in just a few weeks

[buoyant solstice]

Secondary buyers?

[empty fox]

Your keyboard will be shipped along with mine. Lol

Do you know if the keyboard comes with its own cable, or do we need to purchase one separately?

I'm really afraid that I ordered the keyboard without a way to connect it to the PC and that I paid the shipping fee and didn't add any wires with it.

[buoyant solstice]

Every case includes a cable matched to the colour

[fleet forge]

they aint apple, you get your standard accessories with the keyboard

[valid comet]

🔥

$1 ULX kekw

yeah mine is still october 1-14 it only changed once

my batch never got changed its still EU-Kampioen

[bronze forge]

yes!! It says mid-November

[buoyant solstice]

Oh you mean batch 2. Well you already have a rough date. 🙂

[fleet forge]

itll be faster

[empty fox]

Phew , you really made me so happy... I was really scared about that.
Thank you so much!

[empty fox]

That really made me feel relieved... And the reason for that thinking is Apple. They have truly changed our perspective on certain things.

[valid comet]

wym?

[fleet forge]

it was a joke that im coping for it to be faster than the date it says

[valid comet]

me too

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[sullen sand]

Still possibly could... 🙂

[valid comet]

end of the day im stoked to get the 80HE. The tech of the 60HE+ is accurate, precise, and fast, while having a gasket mount similar to the Q1 HE along with an exploded arrow cluster which I am a huge fan of. IMO best of both worlds between a 75% and TKL, without being too unfamiliar. 80HE is honestly gonna feel like a true endgame KB

I do want to ask, does the 80HE use new Hall Sensors compared to the 60HE+, or does it just have a better MCU?

[atomic brook]

cut out the middle of the silicon pad

[valid comet]

ah yes I meant similar, thanks for ythe correction

[atomic brook]

i wonder if it will work

sadly i dont wanna risk it

[humble oyster]

whard

[bronze forge]

wow..

[tidal sleet]

When ever you guy have a hard time thinking about how long you have to wait, always remember me😢

Just be happy for your early November or early october

General question but do you think wooting will just make a wootpad like numpad any time soon?

Like maybe 1 or 2 years

[humble oyster]

[sour saddle]

A HE numpad? Why tho 😄

[spring oar]

Yess, numpad

[fleet forge]

when did you order

[spring oar]

Me want knob, and HE knob

Maybe extra macro key on top of that

[humble oyster]

he knob is crazy

I might use some capacitive tape on top of the lightbar to turn it into a volume slider

[sour saddle]

wtf is a he knob

[spring oar]

Idk, but it sounds cool

[buoyant solstice]

A knob based on HE technology. A project we've been working on in the shadows. Not much is known, but we'll share more as the time comes.

[sour saddle]

numpads are useless anyways imo

unless you REALLY need them

[fleet forge]

"theyre useless unless you use them"

thats deep

[humble oyster]

I am a chronic numpad user

[sour saddle]

they're just a waste of space on the desk

[humble oyster]

blender

[fleet forge]

i only use numpad for my job. i bought an extra cheap numpad for that

[humble oyster]

not me having like 15 benchy's on my desk

[sour saddle]

But I see the he numpad as a cool feature for games where you need those controls to fly

Like GTA

[humble oyster]

honestly the desk space argument to me only makes sense in like

a prison, or a dorm

[fleet forge]

lol

[sour saddle]

My room is not big, that's why it's a waste of space for me

[humble oyster]

like cmon, it's like 50mm more on the kb max though

[fleet forge]

aint everyone sitting at 2 meter desks

[tidal sleet]

I think numpads r useless too, but some people really want them

[tidal sleet]

May

[sour saddle]

I mean, we are not here for the Wooting Two right? That's why we bought the 80?

[fleet forge]

i ordered im march so same waiting time

[humble oyster]

Oh I bought the 80HE and then I'm going to buy a keychron numpad or smth

[tight cypress]

Try to do any number work without a numpad, it's a nightmare

[tidal sleet]

I was so close to first batch

[humble oyster]

numpad my beloved

[tidal sleet]

Not rlly once u get used to it

[tidal sleet]

But Calslock we know uve been working on one on your own

[fleet forge]

using numer row will be never be as good, quick or convenient as numpad

[sour saddle]

It depends, what you're used to with

[light pollen]

All founders are first batch right?

[sour saddle]

ofc

[tight cypress]

Small part of them are 2nd batch, mostly people who ordered more than 2 keyboards and who just didn't make it into first batch

[tidal sleet]

Calslock with his uwupad

[light pollen]

If you are fonder, you get first batch hahah

[fleet forge]

just buy 4-5 uwupads and use those as numpads

[midnight iron]

Almost all. The end of campaign had some folks end up in batch 2 as it sold out some sku

[tidal sleet]

Well if I would of ordered in March I would've gotten mine in october

[tight cypress]

Not an UwUpad
An UwU40%
That's difference

[tidal sleet]

How so

[fleet forge]

his only is 1 button

[light pollen]

My estimate delivery time is 27 September to 7 October.

[tidal sleet]

That's goated

[fleet forge]

it says that on your page?

[humble oyster]

numpad more expensive than the main kb

[light pollen]

Yea,

[fleet forge]

damn, did you order that early or whys yours earlier than any other ive seen

[humble oyster]

move to hong kong

[light pollen]

well, i am the very first wave of 80HE fonders

[tight cypress]

HK batch?

[fleet forge]

was just thinking this

[light pollen]

yes HK

[fleet forge]

ye ok

[humble oyster]

It'd be really funny if my 80HE comes the same day as my k2 plus

[light pollen]

i am not in HK btw

[humble oyster]

prolly close

[light pollen]

I am in mainland China, but was assigned to HK batch.

[buoyant solstice]

Yes that checks.

[humble oyster]

ok that's close enough

[fleet forge]

is there any chance that if no hiccups happen the kb comes a couple days early? im coping to be able to get it on vacation

[humble oyster]

emotional support keyboard

[fleet forge]

[valid comet]

bless everyone that waits until december

and november

[tight cypress]

October gang

[fleet forge]

[humble oyster]

mine hasn't even been processed

September to October gang!

[valid comet]

are you getting the 80HE? i forgot

[tight cypress]

[valid comet]

I forgot yeah

Which config for the 80HE

[upbeat berry]

we can fix that cals

[tight cypress]

ANSI White Zinc

[valid comet]

ANSI Black Zinc :O

[tight cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-handshake-muscle-strong-man-gif-5783927

[valid comet]

Hope you enjoy it bro

[tight cypress]

Likewise fren

[valid comet]

Tony do we know if the hall sensors are different themselves are the same as the 60HE+?

[upbeat berry]

do you know?

[valid comet]

id wager the same is my guess

[tight cypress]

I have to wait till December for keycaps though

[fleet forge]

which ones did you get

[valid comet]

are they wooting keycaps or

[tight cypress]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-mv-hi-viz

[fleet forge]

150 bucks

[wind tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

also neue legenden 💀

[tight cypress]

I paid over 200€ for the ones I have now

[fleet forge]

[minor vigil]

im starting to think my order wont be updated to my initial batch again

[tight cypress]

IMO looks way better than Helvetica Rounded

[wind tiger]

I do not like them at all

[fleet forge]

those neon ones would look great on the ghost board

but im not boutta pay 150 bucks esp cz they dont have my language

[upbeat berry]

They are the same but we also continually improve the sensors

[pseudo parrot]

light mode compatible keycaps

[tight cypress]

I thought it'll look nice with white case and cyan lightning

[pseudo parrot]

yeah white zinc would be a great match

[tidal sleet]

Not keycaps but still december gang

It will be a 7 month anniversary of me waiting for my wooting

[minor vigil]

for me its the black pcr

[tidal sleet]

Too bright too green imo

[tight cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/which-was-the-point-thats-the-point-preacher-pointing-grand-hustle-gif-12471964

Does it even go with your setup?

Sure, it'll connect to my PC just fine

[proper remnant]

How to Cancel Order Refund?

[buoyant solstice]

You asked to cancel an order, and now you've regretted it?

[proper remnant]

Yes, the wait was too long.

[buoyant solstice]

So... you WANT to cancel?

[proper remnant]

Yes, I'd like to cancel my order.

[buoyant solstice]

So the opposite of what I just asked, and you said yes to. Oi...

Alright. Send us an email at [e-mail] asking to cancel your order, and we'll help you 🙂

[proper remnant]

I have sent it, but the order has not been cancelled yet, how long do I have to wait before I can receive my refund

[buoyant solstice]

You'll have to wait for someone from our staff to read the email and respond to it.

[proper remnant]

Staff a few working days to respond to my email. I've been waiting seven days

[lone bronze]

Is there going to be a list of compatible cases for the 80?

[buoyant solstice]

If someone makes one such case, sure.

[icy cosmos]

Sounds like an opportunity to me 🙂‍↔️

[haughty walrus]

Lol

[quiet pawn]

Intercept the delivery

[molten arch]

That literally hurts my light sensitive eyes, gotta put a flashbang warning over those

[spring oar]

looks good, if there's no dust

[red heart]

easy, just live in a cleanroom

[spring oar]

also, from germany, shipping gonna be pain/expensive

[tight cypress]

Germany to Poland? 5€ or so

[valid comet]

Ah I see

[red heart]

i like the hi viz legends but i dont think i could ever use a color like that myself

[icy cosmos]

Sadly you can’t inherit another order

[wind meteor]

I just got tracking info for the keyboard or accessories already. Did the schedule change?

[atomic brook]

wait

wooting has a 21% vat?

[fallen epoch]

You’re going to fast! I still need to eat your order first before shipping

[buoyant solstice]

Welcome to nl btw btw

Denmark has 25%

[atomic brook]

damn

[rich solar]

same...

[atomic brook]

why does america have no vat?

[wind tiger]

it's done by the state

[harsh anchor]

How much does delivery take in the us?

[atomic brook]

long? or cost?

[wind meteor]

Sounds good make sure to leave some bite marks

[fallen epoch]

It’s my way of QC validation

[harsh anchor]

Time wise

[atomic brook]

depends

[buoyant solstice]

It does. City, County and State taxes.

It's one big mess.

[atomic brook]

[buoyant solstice]

8% here, 12% there. It all adds up 😄

[harsh anchor]

Mhm but kinda around what, i wanna get a 80he but im concerned about the shipment tbh

[buoyant solstice]

Within a week - once it's in stock and ships out.

[atomic brook]

the checkout or wooting hub will inform you the delivery time for your batch

[harsh anchor]

Omg that’s amazing!! I thought it would take months tbh

[buoyant solstice]

ONCE IN STOCK

Which is months from now 😛

[atomic brook]

it will

[buoyant solstice]

We have warehouses in the US.

[harsh anchor]

[harsh anchor]

Exactly when?

[buoyant solstice]

1. Yes, see #🪛│modding_faq
2. See #🔧│keyboard_modding

[buoyant solstice]

If you go through the checkout, it'll give you an estimate

[spring oar]

Might as well say 'next year' but it'll be cool if it's in stock during december

[harsh anchor]

Damn

[atomic brook]

it will

batch 2 is late nov

[spring oar]

can't believe it's almost 2025

[harsh anchor]

Yeah

[lilac musk]

yo if i order only a 80he module with jade switches, are the switches lubed? or do i need to get a lube set?

[midnight iron]

they are factory lubed. You can hand lube further if you wish, but they do have factory lube

[lilac musk]

tyvm

[merry grotto]

time flys by so fast - its smart to pre order something every year to slow it down again a bit 🙂

[oak jungle]

why ppl run away from lekkers they are good

[icy cosmos]

The three musketeers 🇳🇴 🇩🇰 🇸🇪 has the same 25% tax

[icy cosmos]

Scandinavians doesn’t discriminate

[worn compass]

Be quiet I already feel old enough

[worn compass]

I like the sound of lekker v2’s

[zealous oak]

As I'm indecisive about getting or not the Geon RAW HE switches... I'm going to do a reaction poll because I need to know if they are so worth it even with 22$ shipping (take in count that, please)

[icy cosmos]

You’re as old as you feel. If you stop feeling old. You will never grow old. Life hack 101

[worn compass]

Time to start watching brainrot

[hybrid inlet]

Look at the German VAT.
19% for goods, 7% for essential goods.
Baby food and formula is 19%, truffle 7%

[buoyant solstice]

We tried differentiating VAT in Denmark a few years ago.
More on sugar (based products) and less on fruit.

People were almost rioting.

[hybrid inlet]

I would kill for a sugar tax

[wind tiger]

based, baby formula was made to pull money out of peoples pockets

[buoyant solstice]

Baby Formula - The main export from EU to China 😄

[hybrid inlet]

Or for people who can’t breast feed?

[tight cypress]

We have 23% for goods, 5% for essentials
What's funny baby formula is explicitly stated as an essential

[wind tiger]

(yea obv, but fr baby formula was used in nefarious ways by certain companies)

[zealous oak]

You guys are nto helping 🤣

[fleet forge]

at 22$ extra just for shipping those switches better be able to clean your appartment

[atomic brook]

why 22 shipping?

just buy from local retailers

[zealous oak]

It is what Geon shows as shipping cost

[zealous oak]

It is even more expensive than paying for those 22$

[atomic brook]

holy fuck

i almost broke my gpx

[atomic brook]

where?

[zealous oak]

I'm from EU

And I found it the cheapest option is apparently from Geon store

[fleet forge]

getting custom keyboard shit in EU is such a pain every time i want smth

[fleet forge]

which is located where?

[zealous oak]

South Korea I think

[fleet forge]

do they also calculate customs fees and taxes to your country on checkout

[zealous oak]

No, but It should be exempt unless the order is 150+

[atomic brook]

what do you have rn?

and whats the issue

[zealous oak]

No issue at all, but lot of people saying Raw HEs are way better

[atomic brook]

what sound do you like?

[zealous oak]

Well it's true I like Raws sound better judging by all the videos have posted in here

[atomic brook]

wait how much?

[zealous oak]

What do you mean

[atomic brook]

candy keys has it for 0.48 euros

out of stock

[midnight iron]

Prototypist is stocking them soon supposedly

[zealous oak]

Interesting, same price as Geon

[atomic brook]

no

[zealous oak]

Well they are dollars

[atomic brook]

geon is usd

just wait for them to be in stock

at any of geon's partners

[zealous oak]

Must be the best option, ye

Thanks!

[zealous oak]

Where are they located?

[midnight iron]

Prototypist is eu

[atomic brook]

uk

i think

[zealous oak]

YEs, UK, just saw it

So, not EU really although the shipping should be cheaper compared to Geon

[atomic brook]

geon has multiple partners in eu

https://geon.works/pages/partner-links

dont think any has stock rn

[zealous oak]

I knew eloquent but they only have Raptor switches

[hidden field]

raw is becoming smooth

[oak jungle]

yeah this one looks cleaner that's why I change from white to raw now

[zealous oak]

Welcome to Raw Zinc gang

[simple dome]

Is the product currently undergoing quality inspection?

[buoyant solstice]

I believe so, yes. Once the production is done, the QC begins where they pick random products from the pallets to find any issues like Calder explained in the most recent video.

Once that is done to satisfaction, the pallets will be boxed up and queued up for shipping in bulk to the warehouses.

[hearty sky]

Just a quick question
Im from india and the nearest fulfilling centre is HK
So ill be getting HK centre or what ?

[buoyant solstice]

NL.

HK is for east asia (and only specific countries, and specific items)

[hearty sky]

Okayyyy thanks

But logically HK is near to india ..

[buoyant solstice]

Both are one airplane ride away.

Distance is less relevant than means of transportation.

[hearty sky]

Haha right

[hearty sky]

True true

[north egret]

Did you preorder it?

[craggy saffron]

When does the earliest batch get delieved?

[buoyant solstice]

October.

If all goes as planned

[tidal sleet]

When is module assembly video gonna come out

[buoyant solstice]

In time for first deliveries

[lilac canyon]

Hello ! i'd like to take the wooting 80he full white but with french keycap it's only available in black, is it possible to put other keycap on this keyboard ?

[sage canyon]

Is October the earliest?

[hearty sky]

Yes

[thin glacier]

Does anyone know what the best style of keycaps are? Whether its dye sub, etched, doubleshot? or is it just preference

[buoyant solstice]

Yes, absolutely. But finding French keycaps can be a challenge. 🙂

[north egret]

from the website or mx2?

[hearty sky]

Website

Mx2 idk if they are legit or not

[north egret]

They are legit, I got it from mx2, Friend received his 60he in 2 weeks

[hearty sky]

Oooo nice

[sage canyon]

I bought 80he today and it says it's expected to arrive in mid-November. Before that, do I have to check by email to get the package?

[buoyant solstice]

Yes... and no.

Once your order is ready to ship out, we'll send you an email to remind you to double check and confirm that your address is the correct one (if you moved, if there's a mistake or if you're on holiday etc)

If you don't respond to that, we'll ship out your order after about a week and pray

[thin glacier]

Alright guys, personal opinion, which is the best keycap to get on the 80HE

[sage canyon]

thank u

[toxic zephyr]

well none of those tbf but if I had to pick then the white ones

[thin glacier]

What do you recommend for caps then

[toxic zephyr]

something you like

[restive bay]

If I would like to purchase another module board, the Lekkers45 for example are v2 or not yet

[bronze ravine]

why would they not be ?

[zealous oak]

Of course they are v2

[buoyant solstice]

Guess what!

Ooh can't wait to see the reviews

[nova nexus]

Tomorrow a sound test video will go live. 🙂
-# and possibly a super secret reward for our most loyal fans

[dense ridge]

what kind of reward =)?

[small rune]

The Knobs?

[spring oar]

isn't there already the typing test?

[dense ridge]

probably discount on v2 switches for 60he owners

[small rune]

Maybe in different switches

[dense ridge]

@spring oarit will be 60he with v2 switches

[icy cosmos]

Orderbook is closing 😅. Time to add more stuff now

[atomic brook]

QC PASSED

[lyric nymph]

[spring oar]

ooo, qc passed

noice

[zealous oak]

Yees!

[atomic brook]

SURELY A DELIVERY DELAY WOULDNT HAPPEN NOW

[zealous oak]

I'm about to throw my current keyboard to the trash can!

[lyric nymph]

tbh, by now i've prepared for the delivery time i have on the website no money for the custom taxes my country charge us

but if we got it sooner, i'd be as happy

money we can work around

[spring oar]

there's still customs

[finite wraith]
