[low token]

Yes.
Kampioen, champion, guanjun are 1st batch

Which one do you have

[neat cloud]

ANSI

[sullen sand]

I really don't think missing the key next to your left shift will make a difference

Besides you can map it to an Fn layer

[upbeat berry]

if they wanna use UK layout the print is different

[low token]

Ngl ansi is most balanced

[astral sedge]

I am suprised that many people saw SOCD as a reason to buy a keyboard from you guys. Like as a deciding differentiator to have to buy a keyboard now. I would not think that it had such an impact apart from a small bubble of players.

[sullen sand]

Eh nobody looks at their keyboard anyway

[atomic brook]

its small

[upbeat berry]

you say that but you know its not the truth

[atomic brook]

but its publicity

to those who dont care too

[astral sedge]

@sullen sand yeah but you keep hitting enter instead of \ you get annoyed by the different physical layout

Apple Intel English is the worst layout\

[sullen sand]

It will take you maybe a day or 2 to get used to the different layout

It's the same as going from a PC keyboard to a laptop

[astral sedge]

it is an ANSI layout with ISO keycaps

[sullen sand]

Spend a day on the laptop and you aren't msising keys

[neat cloud]

All the keys are the same on both layouts

[astral sedge]

@neat cloud uk vs us?

[sullen sand]

It's essentially the same, slightly different on the layers

[sullen sand]

He ordered a module or what?

For the most part when you order ISO keycaps you will get ANSI keycaps in the same box

[astral sedge]

@sullen sand that comment still belong to the Appl Intel is the worst layout and having ANSI layout on physical ISO.

[neat cloud]

Bun it, I’m probably just going to keep the keyboard I’ve ordered can’t be asked going through the hassle of changing it.

[sullen sand]

I live in Ireland and lived in London for a good amount of time, I use ANSI layout

It's not hard to adjust to the very, very small difference in layout

[astral sedge]

@neat cloud with eu brug you are in the second batch. so you have enough time, just contact them and they will sort that out

[sullen sand]

You are extremely limited in customisation options using an ISO layout

In terms of keycaps

[astral sedge]

when I contacted them about changing my order, they made sure that I stayed in the same batch even though I didn't care

[neat cloud]

How long did the whole process take for you?

[astral sedge]

less than a week

[sullen sand]

Currently it probably takes them a week or so to reply to your email

[atomic brook]

maybe 2

[sullen sand]

Your keyboard is due in November, there's plenty of time to change

[atomic brook]

^

[astral sedge]

and that included a bank transfer in my case since I had to pay extra for the change to the zinc case

[sullen sand]

Still think everyone should use ANSI just for the freedom of choosing keycaps you want 🙂 It's not a big deal, your windows sets the language, your keyboard will adust to it, not the other way around

Like you can use a british ISO language layout in windows on an ANSI keyboard and vice versa

[neat cloud]

Thank you, people, for the help. After consulting with the group of people I have spoken to today, I will change the layout. Many thanks to the people who helped me today.

[sullen sand]

My current language is set to british, I'm using an american keyboard - I have no issues typing 😅

I can also type in any language I want, as long as I change the windows setting

[astral sedge]

how are you typing \ and | then?

[sullen sand]

uh maybe not japanese.. haven't tried the asian languages tbh

[astral sedge]

since you are missing the key that those two symbols are on

[sullen sand]

I don't use them keys, and if I did I would just use an Fn layer for it

|

[astral sedge]

I have an ANSI layout with language set to US Intel to be able to things like umlauts (ä, ö, ü and the like)

[sullen sand]

here \

fn... easy stuff

I have it on Fn+Z

So it's basically in the same position

öäü I can change the language to german very easily to use those keys

[astral sedge]

yap yap

[sullen sand]

uh, yeah then my z and y change

But like, switching languages is very quick and easy

win+spacebar

[astral sedge]

this fancy new stuff, I still used to the SHift+Alt to chagne layouts way %)

mostly by accident

[sullen sand]

😅

[restive bay]

both

[buoyant perch]

I'm quite confused, are Wooting Lekkers essentially rebranded Gateron switches?

[low token]

Ye they are ks20 but with diffrent spring and colour

[buoyant perch]

Gateron's tend to have alot of oplaque colors like orange. I suppose that's not good for a RGB keyboard.

[low token]

@buoyant perch well ur not wrong

[light pollen]

great news guys, my 80he delivery date just updated to 21 September to 7th October. It was 27 September!

[small rune]

What batch?

[light pollen]

The First batch

[north egret]

Week early WOOO!

[worn prairie]

God I wish that was me

I’m still for 1-17th October

[light pollen]

i think you live in the US？

[worn prairie]

No I’m Europe

[worldly plume]

guys i just ordered the 80HE, will this lovely product ascend my gaming skills ?

[proper dew]

I've been waiting. My birthday is on the 12th of October, so if this turns out well then it's an early birthday gift to myself 😄

[north egret]

Suree! Top 1 rank soon!

[sand carbon]

wooting should hire a magician to instantly make all wooting80he orders ready to be shipped

[snow canyon]

Dang you must have been the early early founders

[proper dew]

Yes, I was like top 500 I think, but it doesn’t really matter anyway everyone contributed so quickly. It was nice to see.
I was so ready for it as well. I’ve been waiting for a Wooting with function keys and it ended up looking really dope

[light pollen]

I am earlier than him hahah

[light pollen]

same here！

[worldly plume]

[snow canyon]

Sheesh.. hopefully it ships to you both quicker @light pollen

[light pollen]

i can't wait to get hands on 80he!!!!

[ornate pike]

When shld I order the 80he hmm

[light pollen]

asap

later will get later 😄

[sand carbon]

^, I waited just for it to get delayed so I just ended up pre-ordering last week

[ornate pike]

tbh i dont mind waiting longer since I got the 60he

[light pollen]

in that case, just buy when ever you feel to brother !

[worldly plume]

i had to order the 80HE because i am still using some random a** Corsair keyboard from 2015

[violet garnet]

and corsair still charges $300 for those keyboards

[worldly plume]

🙁

[woven drift]

The corsair pro keyboards are kinda neat and have like 8000hz polling.... not sure if you'll ever need that tho.

[potent nova]

so does the 80he, but 8k polling is kind of a meme anyway

[woven drift]

the polling wars have basically proven that 1k is the defacto for a reason.

[wicked summit]

So does the new keycap included in the 80he?

[midnight iron]

The 80he case description pages don’t mention the foam/latex included btw if any wooting staff wanted to update that

[worldly pebble]

it would actually be really nice if we could order standalone wooting logo keycaps to match our accents

[quartz hare]

I bought 4 80he, but I have been waiting for too long. Can I return three of them?

[snow canyon]

why did you order 4? 😭

[midnight iron]

You could just email them and say you want to cancel 3 and keep 1 in your order

[quartz hare]

I like to modify keyboards, so I bought four. Now I don't want to wait any longer

[fleet forge]

[quartz hare]

[fleet forge]

what would you do with 4 of the same kb?

keep em all modded differently? sell em off?

[quartz hare]

I like customized keyboards and I want to modify them into different shapes

[fleet forge]

[quartz hare]

This is one of the ones I modified, and there are many similar ones

[warm oxide]

Is there any way to add a pack of L45s V2 to an existing 80HE order?

[icy cosmos]

Making custom cases for a product that is not availiable yet and follows no standard. Sounds like a true artist.

[icy cosmos]

Content bro.. content

[quartz hare]

There will be many factories in China that produce the keyboard casing you want, making it convenient for you to load the PCB inside

[icy cosmos]

Ofc, that´s how the mod scene works, but it can only be done after a product is released.

[quartz hare]

Yes, you can take the keyboard casing to the factory to make it until you are satisfied

[fleet forge]

first time in ages im not getting a kb in a metal case

i liked the ghost thing too much to pass it up. hope i dont regret it

[icy cosmos]

That’s why I love China, rapid prototyping is so easy 🤣

[icy cosmos]

Don’t worry there will be more metal options. You can always just get a case down the line

[quartz hare]

This is the speed of China.haha

[fleet forge]

spend even more money

[quartz hare]

There are generally three ways for you to choose, such as anodizing, electrostatic spraying, and baking paint

At first, it may cost more money, but now the competition is fierce. You can buy an aluminum alloy keyboard case at a very cheap price

I recently only spent 199 yuan to buy a keyboard case that supports GH60 standard. 180 mesh anodizing is used in the process

[radiant snow]

I got today the 60he+ and I need to get used to not having arrow keys even tho I did get two set of key caps with it

[thick lichen]

Modtap with arrow keys on the right helps

[radiant snow]

sorry?

[thick lichen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei2I7wYRHlI 😄

[worldly stream]

i suppose its not possible for me to get this role still

i love blue XD

[upbeat berry]

unless you ordered during the initial founding campaign no

[worldly stream]

sad thought so

[timid ore]

Hi, I am new to selling mechanical keyboards. Can anybody help me go though my keyboards and let me know how much I can sell them for?

[ornate pike]

-new to selling M E C H A N I C A L keyboards
-asks in a analog keyboard discord server

[upbeat berry]

analogue keyboards are also mechanical

[buoyant solstice]

Well to be fair they did admit to being new to the whole thing.

[fleet forge]

get all of em

[bright jewel]

[fleet forge]

if they can put it into your current order it shouldnt change

[ornate pike]

I also want the metal case but more exp and the plastic case sounds better imo

i dislike the fact that theres no white that comes prebuilt

like damn

[fleet forge]

you can prolly still mod the metal case to sound better

but ive never modded or built anything so idk

[ornate pike]

ill prob pre-order the 80he after payday

[violet garnet]

80HE > rent

lets be financially responsible

I can't stop winning

[misty heart]

In the site there is white zinc prebuilt

[fleet forge]

he wants plastic white

[misty heart]

Plastic is only Frost, and it's not solid white, so white plastic is not available

[ornate pike]

proceeds to intensively email them to assemble a prebuilt

[fleet forge]

so i take it frost is not an option for you?

[ornate pike]

I meant email them to assemble the frost1

[fleet forge]

oh the frost one doesnt come assembled?

[misty heart]

yup

frost and raw comes only as module options

[oak jungle]

we are near

[pseudo parrot]

this not possible unfortunately. but assembling it is quite easy, there will also be a video guide

[fleet forge]

id guess itll be similar in difficulty to the 60he which already has a video

[midnight iron]

Yeah really the only tricky part for most beginners in assembling is the stabs usually and with 80he it’s pre installed

[ornate pike]

Then ill buy it after payday on stream with sum friends

[worn compass]

How’s Ya’ll holding up with the wait

[fallen epoch]

Living….. for now

I WANT IT

[fleet forge]

at least another full month

[radiant anvil]

It's hard. Im starting to think to get a pharmacological coma for a month

[pseudo parrot]

spooky season is coming. soon

[icy cosmos]

Look at it as a form of healing process. When you buy somthing it hurts your bank account or injures the creditcards. With time it heals and you´re ready for a new purchase

[violet garnet]

perchance

[worn compass]

Yeah my bank account still hasnt recovered from my stock 80he purchase

[icy cosmos]

Auto correct madness

[violet garnet]

you've said perchance too much perchance?

[icy cosmos]

Do you think I am the one typing The bot doing the job here. I was suppose to write: purchase

[violet garnet]

perchance

[icy cosmos]

sometimes it makes me wonder too..

[icy cosmos]

Get a side hustle/ part time job.

[wispy cloak]

November...

Im in pain cuz of the wait, my bank account is in pain as well

Cuz i went full and spent like 500e

[dim sierra]

It’s been 1 more month for me for 3 months

[wispy cloak]

Yeah i ordered it in July

[icy cosmos]

You just got a huge appetite for Wooting.

[spring oar]

Not too bad, its only been a week since I preorder it, and a month since I know it exist

[icy cosmos]

congratulation on your discovery and welcome to the family!

[worn compass]

I’ve been thinking of buying a wooting for like 2 years

Well now I have

Like 2 months ago

[fallen epoch]

Not much longer!

[dim sierra]

Hopefully 🤞

[humble sluice]

How did you find out about the 80HE?

[spring oar]

optinum shows 'wooting copies razer' then youtube recommending me 80he QC error iirc. After that I looked for 80he alternative before settling into this since I rather wait than getting subpar product.

[violet garnet]

razer themselves are subpar imo. only reason they gained attention is because they literally added cheats to their boards

[worn compass]

Thats what Im saying, I dead ass feel so bad for the ppl that bought into that. All they have is a shitty keyboard without the socd feature 😭😭

[violet garnet]

impulse buyers smh

if you see something you like, give it a week. if you still care about getting it after a week then get it

[worn compass]

I love how wooting is trying something new with the 80he and still trying to cater to the keeb enthusiasts. Customizability is one of my biggest reasons to go for wooting. Some ppl were complaining about the lay out so wooting can have an apple like eco system even though they’ve clearly stated that they’re gonna release the 80he case files for other manufactures to make their own cases

77.5% should become a new standard imo, it looks good and functions well giving a lil but more desk space

[violet garnet]

I like the alloy 80HE because I have no reason to change the case. feels like its something not worth replacing but the opportunity is there for ppl that want to

[worn compass]

Hot take but the layout is better than TKL

Its like the functionality and small form factor of a 75% without it looking all ugly and smushed in so closely together

[violet garnet]

lets have a 77.5% layout as mainstream, just like the 1800 layout compared to a full size

[hearty sky]

Whats the latest update on 80he ???

[floral fractal]

For first batch?

[hearty sky]

Yes

[buoyant solstice]

#📦│batch_updates as always 🙂

[floral fractal]

Just passed QC

What Mansen said too

Is this week a video week for friday?

[hearty sky]

Great.
So wooting start sending boards to fulfilling canters ?

[floral fractal]

Yeah, Im assuming given the sept. 1st cut off date, we wont see an update on shipment to fulfillment centers until then or after then

[hearty sky]

Then it should update in the hub

Mass production >>>> boards sent to warehouse

[dim sierra]

yeah wait for 1 sept update

[verbal solar]

Only 77.5?

[tough mauve]

We got scammed fr

[verbal solar]

2.5 inches is alot

[icy cosmos]

you haven´t read the memo?

[verbal solar]

No

[icy cosmos]

Go to read the TPS reports 😉

[tough mauve]

I am looking at my order in wooting hub. What does the "ARM" mean in the Wooting 80HE description?

[buoyant perch]

AVR or ARM, ARM is what wooting uses nowadays for keyboard processor.

[icy cosmos]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture_family

[buoyant solstice]

It means nothing.
We used to use AVR based processors way back in the early 60HE and 2HE days. Everything is ARM now.

[tough mauve]

Ok 👍

[icy cosmos]

I just remembered if the first videos of why its 77.5 and not 80. it was like... we had an ideá and a vision... and we went back and forth. Then missed the target to change so we just roll with it.

I might be wrong.. I bought into what ever it was and now... 5month´s later, none the wiser.

[icy cosmos]

I mean, do you really care how your next iphone or Samsung galaxy looks like? You just buy the latest and it will be the greatest!

[verbal solar]

No

I buy Xiaomi

[icy cosmos]

Xiaomi is apple clone

[verbal solar]

And for iPhone it clearly won't be the greatest

[verbal solar]

Nah its better

[icy cosmos]

They makes the most money = greatest .

[verbal solar]

No

Its called dropshipping

[icy cosmos]

It´s a matter of preference.

[verbal solar]

Aka make cheap, is cheap, sell overpriced

[low token]

Iphone is so behind in zoom game

[icy cosmos]

wait what..

Why would I care about the Zoom? I am no stalker?

[livid cypress]

If I wanna remove the keycaps from my order do I just send an email to support? I'm first batch btw
Is it too late?

[low token]

Have you seen samsung zoom

[icy cosmos]

that´s the name of the game for everything. The bigger the margine the more money you make. Currently Apple makes the most profit/ phone sold

[buoyant perch]

Yes, send email. They'll let you know.

[low token]

I think you still can

[icy cosmos]

The question is why would I need to Zoom in the first place?

[livid cypress]

Alright thanks

[verbal solar]

Cause they are selling garbage to rich ppl cause braindeads think expensive= good or flex rights

🙄

[icy cosmos]

You´re correct in a way. But they must be doing something right to keep people buying year after year, while the product getting more and more expensive?

[fleet forge]

ye but only in the US lol

[icy cosmos]

Sorry that´s world wide

[livid cypress]

Well, it's just a fashion thing right? People spend thousands on Gucci products just for a label

That's the way it's been

Same thing with smartphones

[icy cosmos]

Iphone have only done sale prices 1 time.. it´s on the Iphone 15. in Asia only

[fleet forge]

i guess compared to any other single phone manufacturer. what i meant was market share between iphone and android

[low token]

If you want take picture or record from far away

[spring oar]

good software, too invested in apple eco system, and people around them thinks android is horrible

prop

[icy cosmos]

You know that Android = many brands.. Iphone is just Apple right

[fleet forge]

literally what i just said

[bright jewel]

80he talk where

[atomic brook]

lurkin

[empty pond]

love the talk thi

[icy cosmos]

difference is enormous, sorry to expand on your sentence

[verbal solar]

What I said.

[icy cosmos]

sorry.. Going back now

Haven´t seen purple people in a long time.

[empty pond]

ig you can compare wooting to apple, wooting being one of the most premium brands in the gaming keyboard industry.

also a really good design team, and a really high price 😭

[icy cosmos]

@bright jewel Where´s the Matching keycaps for the frost and ghost case?

[fleet forge]

ye but unlike apple wooting innovates

[icy cosmos]

Wooting is like Google pixel.

[dim sierra]

🤨

[fleet forge]

i hope not cz google pixel is garbage

i have a pixel 8 rn and ive never been so unhappy with a phone

i loved the pixel 1

[icy cosmos]

kohaku keyboards is like Apple

[bright jewel]

I dont know

in the future perhaps

[midnight iron]

Found some matching keycaps for your ghost case

[bright jewel]

omg the minesweeper!!!

[pseudo parrot]

wow this is nice. do you have a link to this set?

[midnight iron]

No other keycap set has a game of minesweeper and solitaire

[icy cosmos]

would stil like to have gameboy transparent theme

[empty pond]

how could you compare wooting to google pixel, theyre a lot like apple, focussing on software, clean design, premium "feel", premium price

[midnight iron]

I’ve only seen it for sale in Korea and some random Asian language sites but it’s called 80retro win1998

[pseudo parrot]

ah i see. thank you anyways

[bright jewel]

alright seems like im going back

[icy cosmos]

Apple is over priced, can not repair no customisations

[empty pond]

wooting is overpriced aswell, no arguing with that

[fleet forge]

man id really like the xray keycap set for my ghost 80he. wish there was a black version of that

[dense ridge]

Wooting is also overpriced lol

[icy cosmos]

really?

[empty pond]

yes really

[dim sierra]

any kb above 100 is overprice

[midnight iron]

Depends on what you compare it to mostly

[dense ridge]

320 euro for just a keyboard seems cheap to you :)? 😂

[icy cosmos]

That´s your perspective and opinion not a fact

[midnight iron]

In world of custom keyboards that’s actually mid range

[atomic brook]

everything is overpriced because of inflation

[dim sierra]

its a fact not my opinion 🤨

[icy cosmos]

if you compare to a 1000€ keybord. yeah

[dense ridge]

In the custom world yes but not in the gaming keyboards world

[empty pond]

i mean the 300 is for the zinc alloy case, but still, charging a 100 more for just a metal case is like apple charging 200 for 8 more gigs of ram

[dense ridge]

Even in the custon world its not cheap at all

[midnight iron]

In world of non oem gaming keyboards it’s actually normal priced too

[atomic brook]

dude

[midnight iron]

All the cheaper options are oem clone type keyboards

[atomic brook]

how much do you think 8gb ram cost

[bright jewel]

not being cheap doesnt mean its overpriced right away. in the end its what you yourself is willing to pay for a keyboard. some people even think 50 euros is a lot

[icy cosmos]

it´s like comparing Mcdonalds to a restaurant in this point

[buoyant solstice]

You generally get what you (don't) pay for. Be it lack of customer support or warranty.

[midnight iron]

Comparable options such as rakka, geon venom, hm etc are all $200+ also

[fleet forge]

200 bucks if you ask apple

[atomic brook]

[dense ridge]

I have also paid and bought that but i also understand that the price is overpriced.. the same with iphone.. i have one but i understand that it could cost much less

[empty pond]

it costs nothing? you can get a stick for like 20-40 euros im pretty sure

[icy cosmos]

more like 400

[midnight iron]

Wooting is definitely expensive, but I wouldn’t call it overpriced. It’s about average for the non oem priced keyboards

[atomic brook]

so your comparing a block of zinc cost vs a 1000% markup

[icy cosmos]

You do live in a different world.

[midnight iron]

Overpriced would mean it’s way above the price of its competitors

[empty pond]

wtf do you mean by that

[dense ridge]

I am not agree really.. oem keyboards are like 100 usd+- non oem are like 150+ some of them even have metal case

[pseudo parrot]

ive given this example before, but a benefit of wooting is longeivity. for example the seven year old wooting one still getting software updates

[midnight iron]

Name one non oem at $150 with metal case

[bright jewel]

I guess my definition of overpriced is different then.

[empty pond]

that zinc alloy case is not worth 100eur, maybe for the raw they couldve charged that

[oak jungle]

full outfit will cost more than zince case soooo chill out

[midnight iron]

Keep in mind a lot of the non oem brands at $150 are using oem pcb inside

So you may not realize but the reason they’re priced at $150 is because they’re actually oem parts

[icy cosmos]

You´re not into the business of manufacturing , so you´re looking from a customer perspective. thus.. you´re not in the same "world"

[empty pond]

yeah forsure, thats the good thing about wooting company, they care about their customers

[midnight iron]

Like the only thing close to $150 is maybe you can find a heavily discounted aliexpress hm type board with no warranty for $150? I can’t think of any others

[dense ridge]

U want hall effect? Or mechanical one will be also ok?

[midnight iron]

Hall effect with good software.

It can’t be using oem parts

[empty pond]

dont need to be in manufacturing business to know it doesnt cost 200 to put 8 extra gigs of ram into a phone / laptop

[icy cosmos]

Have to compare apple to apple.. not apple to oranges.

[dense ridge]

KB65HE Hall Effect 160 euro

[midnight iron]

What you’ll quickly find is unless your doing some taobao grey market import no warranty thing then you’re not getting non oem keyboards for much less

[icy cosmos]

You forgot that the 200 is not for putting the 8GB ram in your phone.. it´s for the company to build the next phone,. Or the money goes towards having 10X phones to be ready to be "warranty exchange".

[midnight iron]

Oem pcb.

[dim sierra]

[low token]

Wooting doesnt do oem pcb software and case that's why it is more expensive

[midnight iron]

Kb65he uses the same gtech pcb as a bunch of $100 keyboards

What you’ll find is exactly this. A lot of $150 boards you think aren’t oem are actually oem

If you want non oem good pcbs they exist but you’re paying wooting prices at that point

[empty pond]

wait a few years for HE to be more generalised, then we will see wooting is "expensive", because rn we can't really call a company with barely any competition "overpriced"

[dim sierra]

i mean it is overpriced, but its fine companies need profit to grow

[icy cosmos]

they need profit to maintain service and warranty

[dim sierra]

all custom keyboards are all heavily overpriced too, imagine paying 1k for a generic board because its desgin/ limited

[empty pond]

sure but look at the wooting80hes with metal cases, thats just too much profit per product if you ask me

[midnight iron]

Again I think you’re interchanging overpriced with expensive

[dim sierra]

yes thats why its fine to be overpriced

[icy cosmos]

many people / designers / companies has been doing it for years.

[dim sierra]

overpriced literally means too expensive

[midnight iron]

And that’s a different word with different usage so you’re going to confuse people

[icy cosmos]

it´s like paying a painter to paint you a painting.

[dim sierra]

yeah which is fine, its targeted to a specific customer base

[icy cosmos]

instead of taking a photograph

[empty pond]

yooo algot thats crazyyy

[midnight iron]

Overpriced does not mean too expensive. It can be both overpriced and too expensive but they’re different things

[dense ridge]

What about drunkdeer? Also aoe yes?

[coarse crest]

If Wooting is overpriced, we should take a look at the new Azoth Extreme

[midnight iron]

Drunkdeer is also gtech oem

[atomic brook]

tommy hilfiger keyboard set

[dense ridge]

Then oem is not bad for me

[empty pond]

here you go guys

[icy cosmos]

that´s how the world works my friend.

[midnight iron]

Scroll down

[dense ridge]

And i think almost for everyone

[low token]

It is also oem pcb

[icy cosmos]

Ai..

[midnight iron]

See definition 2.

Words can have different meanings based on usage

[icy cosmos]

It´s like saying a koenigsegg is overpriced compared to a Toyota ?

[dim sierra]

yeah do u think wooting can make their products cheaper? definitely yes but compines needs profit

[midnight iron]

That’s fine and I think oem is fine for some folks. But again then you have to compare oem vs oem and not oem vs custom pcb

Because they cost different prices to produce

[midnight iron]

I think they could but not by much at the way they do it currently

I think some things might get cheaper over time such as their cases

[empty pond]

koeningsegg is overpriced by itsself, no comparing it to other car manufacturers.

[midnight iron]

Wooting is a different company vs Chinese based factory owning types

Especially when they have a lot of EU staff. The pricing to hire eu and not outsource absolutely everything to China is very different

[violet garnet]

wooting is worth the price, considering I see keyboards in my region similarly priced that aren't even hall effect. those are overpriced

[icy cosmos]

It´s expensive = YES, not overpriced, Big no.

[dense ridge]

I think that the perfomance difference between oem drunkdeer and non oem wooting is not worth 150 euro difference to be honest.. the perfomance is almost on the same lvl… wooting is better for sure but not that much

[midnight iron]

Sure. But that’s your opinion and not everyone wants a drunkdeer oem board that sacrifices performance and features/software

[dense ridge]

Wooting is a premium product and a little bit overpriced.. thats my opinion

[dim sierra]

i guess it all comes down to ur own definitions of "worth" to "price" but imo most will think its too high thus wooting is pretty much a niche product for gamers

[midnight iron]

Again you guys are using the word overpriced different from others here

[low token]

Drunkdeer have 10+ year support?

[empty pond]

overpriced = priced higher than it should be (with production costs + profit margin), so again, i dont work at koeningsegg, but yes, they charge too much for their cars, but no, you cant compare them to another car brand

[midnight iron]

You’re arguing totally different things because other people here are not using overpriced the same way as you

[ornate pike]

Wooting is more expensive than overprice, as ur paying a premium for better software

thats the edge wooting currently has

[empty pond]

expensive = price is reasonable cuz companies need profit

overpriced = not reasonable, too much profit/product

[ornate pike]

Nah its expensive for the status

[midnight iron]

Did you know you can’t even change profile on a drunkdeer keyboard because they cheaped out on memory to store profiles?

[ornate pike]

Exp is more on status n shit

overprice is when ur looking from a value standpoint

[bright jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/hamster-handshake-deal-hello-gif-24672226

[midnight iron]

Or that their drunkdeer socd still doesn’t work and leaves keys inputting non stop sometimes

[bright jewel]

can we just agree to disagree on some matters and move on

[dense ridge]

I am sure that the wooting keyboard could cost less if they wanted to 🙂 thats why its overpriced.. if u can sell something cheaper but u are selling it at a premium price then its considered as overpriced for me.. again its only my opinion 🙂

[icy cosmos]

You can compare beacuse at the end of the day its a "car" and you can drive it with a normal driving licence. Just like an expensive keybord vs a cheap keybord. There´s a difference between Expensive and Overpriced!

[dense ridge]

Good idea 🙂

[dim sierra]

but isnt socd banned too? or was i told the wrong thing

[midnight iron]

Again you are mixing up overpriced with too expensive

[empty pond]

@icy cosmos dont baby me please? also, i mentioned you cant compare koeningsegg with another brand, just like wooting barely has competitors

[midnight iron]

People are using different definitions of the word overpriced

There are two. You are using the first one, others are using the second one

You’re arguing different things.

[dense ridge]

Is the iphone expensive or overpriced for you :)?

[midnight iron]

Both.

Because something can be both too expensive and/or overpriced

[empty pond]

yeah the snap tap thing is banned by cs2 (valve) will probably get banned in other competitive shooters soon

[ornate pike]

Wooting= Expensive
Why? Bcs its a premium product with a good built up reputation from the ground up

If you want value, then go for some OEM since they have similar features and a better case

[dim sierra]

i think its the same for the majority with wooting, but for u personally might differ

[low token]

Iphone is overpriced for what it is offering

[dense ridge]

True

[midnight iron]

I think their profit margin isn’t what a lot of people think

[dim sierra]

but socd is slightly different and its getting banned too?

[midnight iron]

Because they compare wooting to Chinese companies doing oem and ask why can’t wooting charge the same

[low token]

Because they do not mass produce same pcb for other vendors

[ornate pike]

Iphone= Expensive/Overpriced/Idiotic/BrainDamage

[ornate pike]

if you buy every generation btw*

[midnight iron]

Which Chinese keyboard company hires a full time discord manager at $2k usd a month with end of year profit sharing employment benefits and bonuses?

[low token]

Change brain damage to american

[dim sierra]

yes but comsumers dont look too deep and if it cost 2x to make compared to their competitors they dont really empathize

[empty pond]

@dim sierra instant frame perfect counterstrafe movement gets detected and gets you banned, socd, rappy snappy, all versions that modify the actuation of A and D to help you counterstrafe will get you detected and banned

[midnight iron]

Yeah and that’s fine, but again apples vs oranges

[dense ridge]

U cant use any other phone after iphone 😦

Guys please, get back to the 80he topic and move this to tec or move to dm's

[ornate pike]

I have a iphone 14p brotha

[dim sierra]

i agree but i still use it because the ui looks better

[low token]

Iphone ui is boooring.

[empty pond]

just like wooting has the most oustanding design language in the keyboard industry, and software

[empty pond]

minimalistic ≠ boring

[dense ridge]

I dont know 🙂 i like minimalism

[low token]

It is not minimalistic

Oneui is minimalistic

[dim sierra]

samsung is messy imo

[low token]

If you know android you can Navigate easliy trough any android phone

[dense ridge]

What 80he did u get?

[empty pond]

apple is the definition of minimalistic brother, they have PERFECT design language in their company, instantly recognisable, design works on all devices / screen sizes, attractive, timeless

[dim sierra]

yea i own both phones so i understand, its just preference

[dense ridge]

What color?

[midnight iron]

Don’t worry Raquel. I know the solution to stop this topic

[dim sierra]

white zinc and white wrist rest

[midnight iron]

Which political party do you guys support?

[bright jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-button-keyboard-press-the-ban-button-gif-16387934

[ornate pike]

i wonder whats after the 80he

[empty pond]

LMAOOO

[low token]

80he white zinc

[dim sierra]

jesus party rise up

[oak jungle]

wooting headset

[empty pond]

yoo mee tooo

[dense ridge]

Good choice 👍

[ornate pike]

wooting kbs with screens? knobs? or are they gonna shit ideas outta their ass

[dim sierra]

heard knobs are most likely next

[empty pond]

theyre forsure gonna do something with knobs, boring ngl, but cool for people who use knobs on their keyboard, who want HE

[north egret]

Wooting mouse

[low token]

Calder does 360° on chair and trow darts for batch name and ideas

Yes he does that

[floral fractal]

It would be cool to see a modular KB from wooting, where you could add like a knob module or screen module to your keyboard

[empty pond]

meh, they wouldnt have any edge in the mice industry

[dense ridge]

I think after 80he will be two he refresh

[ornate pike]

tf they gonna do with mouses, hall effect mouses?

[low token]

Mouse market is too saturated

They like to innovate

[dim sierra]

not mouse thats for sure

[floral fractal]

that’s what i’m saying man, a modular Kb would be innovative

[bright jewel]

[north egret]

Thats already done no?

[low token]

Too niche

[ornate pike]

idk any he mouses, maybe they just dont compete

[empty pond]

they just gotta stick with the keyboards, theyre doing great, maybe slim / low profile keyboards next, those are going crazy, imagine HE on those

[ornate pike]

one handed keyboard

[north egret]

Low profile HE would go crazy 😮‍💨

[ornate pike]

i just gave them an idea didnt I

[low token]

That's very niche

[spring oar]

60he with non edge guard case + low profile HE keyswitch already possible no?

[empty pond]

either they go in the direction of dominating the keyboard industry, or the gaming industry.

gaming industry could have them make another product so they have a keyboard and a mouse or mic or headset or idk what

[warm bobcat]

I wouldnt be mad about a numberpad to go with my 80he. thatd be nice, maybe it clips on so I can travel with the 80he and work with a full keyboard... without buying 2

[empty pond]

trueeee

[ornate pike]

wireless wooting where/when

[warm bobcat]

eew no wireless

[empty pond]

why?

[north egret]

Is it tho? Idk

[ornate pike]

bcs some ppl like me cant manage cables for jackshit lmao

[low token]

When you figure out new batteries that last 2 weeks

[floral fractal]

that’s what i’m saying

I feel like a lot of people would enjoy the idea of being able to add specific modules to their keyboard they want. Knob, screen, extra macro keys, etc.

Gives them more customization of their keyboard too

[midnight iron]

Did someone say knob

[floral fractal]

Plus opens the market for Wooting to make more money off of different modules, and community engagement based on requested modules

[pseudo parrot]

ah the moist collection

[polar stirrup]

Lmao the number of times youve shared this

[zealous oak]

How would those switches sound like?

[empty pond]

moist

[zealous oak]

Then better to throw some silica gel to those

[wispy brook]

Hello I’m new. What is the story with the 80he?

[bright jewel]

Well you see, when the founders really love each other...

[wispy brook]

Huh the more you know

Are they preorder?

[bright jewel]

youre asking a very broad question, may I interest you in our factory vlogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1bJWdA2vMc&t=1s

[bright jewel]

yes

[wispy brook]

This helps sorry for being broad

Debating on going 80 or 60

[coarse crest]

I think Batch 1 is wrapping up and should be done soon, Batch 2 should be starting up in the coming weeks for production

[coarse crest]

Depends on your size preference I’d say

[nova nexus]

Full sized best sized

[quiet lynx]

just be aware if you're moving away from a 100% layout 60% layering n stuff can be weird

[wispy brook]

I have 65% (from higround cuz they have some really unique keycaps) but I want to swap to wooing and idk which one they will fit

[bright jewel]

its not about size, its about how you use it

[nova nexus]

Just imagine: the best size and knowing how to use it

[bright jewel]

god gamer mode activated

[wispy brook]

I like customizing my board to match my mousepads, but my right shift key seems to be tinier than the rooting right shift and idk if it will fit

[coarse crest]

If you go 60HE there’s the 5 sided dye take control key caps that look similar to Higround

Albeit it’s not the white marbled but kinda close

[wispy brook]

I have a sonic the hedgehog keycaps so I wanted to use those

Not the basic marble

[wispy brook]

I’m just concerned on the right shift being too tiny

To fit on the board^

[astral sedge]

Why not? Some people like me buy the hall effect keyboard because they just like nice linear keyboard and not so massively sold on gaming advantage. My productivity in my favourite IDE does not plummet with higher latency.

[valid comet]

i like the way they feel better than linear mechs and i always end up breaking my switches anyway overtime

also they do provide a tangible advantage in gaming

which is huge for me since I do game a lot

[warm bobcat]

ok, nevermind the latency. I dont wanna buy batteries, and if you make it rechargeable ill just leave it plugged in all the time. So essentially its either a money sinc or corded. Sure, my VS wont care, but my wallet says no. so why not optomize it for something (gaming) instead of having something that isnt perfect for anything, just good at everything

and if I wanted it for work, id get the full sized board, not the 80%

[quiet lynx]

They had fixed the issue https://youtu.be/lZA4C5wnHU8

[toxic zephyr]

yeah if it's smaller then it won't fit

[wispy brook]

Yeah that’s the size

[toxic zephyr]

if it looks like this instead of taking all the space of the up arrow as well, then it's just not gonna fit the wooting boards

[wispy brook]

Any way to mod it or am I sol?

[toxic zephyr]

not really, need some other keycaps basically

[atomic brook]

using a bigsizerinator

[wispy brook]

Thanks big dawg

[zealous oak]

isn't it a beauty?

[midnight iron]

There wasn’t a need to replace the parts because they fixed the process that was breaking it

So they can use the same part but without the flaw in the process now

[buoyant solstice]

There is no part to change. It's the manufacturing equipment that's at fault.

[coarse crest]

I can’t wait to get my hands on the white zinc 🤩

[wispy brook]

Is the zinc case worth it over plastic?

[atomic brook]

tldr your not plugging it the same way they did

[toxic zephyr]

what you're talking about with your setup is irrelevant to the problem your talking about also so no worries there

[quiet lynx]

Yeah tmk from the video the cause of the short is the powered daughter board whilst connecting pins

[toxic zephyr]

(my setup is the same btw)

[atomic brook]

they connected piins, ur connecting a cable

its going to be fine

[warm bobcat]

I went zinc cause I wanted the extra weight, the cost hurts. but I dont think there will be a quality issue with plastic. its still gonna be a nice ass keyboard

[toxic zephyr]

casual 115V across the radiator on which I rest my feet and my aluminium keyboard case, feels awesome to touch and get the tingles ahah

[coarse crest]

I think it is. It’s more of a budget/preference thing, but I’m sure the plastic version will be great too.

[bright jewel]

thats really a personal matter

[wispy brook]

Word

[fiery bolt]

You have a 4 year warranty so even if there is a risk I think the warranty should provide more than enough peace of mind

[coarse crest]

I like a hefty board

[runic violet]

Will the 80he come with the new v2 switches?

[wispy brook]

Are dimensions and specs out? I get nerdy with desk space and shit

[quiet lynx]

There is always a chance it gets shorted regardless

[zealous oak]

They come with v2 yes

[toxic zephyr]

@stone gale the problem was with connecting the JST connector while it was plugged in to power via the USB-C

[midnight iron]

No more chance than any other usb cable type thing

[zealous oak]

Me too, but with the raw one

[toxic zephyr]

i.e. something you would not do as a user anyway

[harsh anchor]

Guys my payment needs photo verification do i send it through to their email?!

[atomic brook]

yes

do what they tell you

[harsh anchor]

Ty

[midnight iron]

The short was a very specific process that no one would actually do and that you aren’t going to be doing anyway, so nothing to worry about beyond what you already have with every other usb device you use

[bright jewel]

[zealous oak]

Welcome to the 80HE gang

[atomic brook]

[midnight iron]

I give you permission to @atomic brook instead of me anytime you want to tag me or anyone else

He can be a placeholder @

[atomic brook]

[quiet lynx]

yeah tag drakon

[atomic brook]

dafuq

[toxic zephyr]

from the brass case of my uwu to the radiator leg

it's dark under my table but it's saying 111.8V AC

[astral sedge]

floating ground

[toxic zephyr]

haha yeah

[astral sedge]

is that connected to a notebook or a desktop pc?

[toxic zephyr]

this is my desktop

[astral sedge]

with a grounded connection to the PSU or not?

[warm bobcat]

what amperage are you feeling when you grab that? volts arent what you feel

[toxic zephyr]

I mean I can try measuring and see what it says ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[astral sedge]

side eyes the Dutch people with their Schuko plugs without ground

[toxic zephyr]

probably almost nothing

[warm bobcat]

i mean... its not that important, just fun to play with lol

[astral sedge]

yeah it is probably just a potential since ground is floating and it just build up to the charge

[upbeat berry]

please tell me this is cause your psu isnt properly grounded or smth

[astral sedge]

this is also common in macbooks, google "Macbook tingling feeling". And there it goes away when you use a grounded power supply instead of an ungrouded

[buoyant solstice]

Are we trying to decide if the UwU is grounded or fly af? Because it's definitely the latter.

https://tenor.com/view/fly-human-fly-float-human-airplane-meme-gif-5277954545468410794

[toxic zephyr]

it's not grounded at all

but yeah multimeter can't pick up on anything even on the microamp setting

[astral sedge]

@buoyant solstice we are trying to decide if the ground of the Uwu is connected to real ground via the PC or if the PC has a floating ground since it is not plugged in via a plug that uses ground

[buoyant solstice]

USB doesn't have ground?
I am confuzzled.

[toxic zephyr]

usb does have ground

[astral sedge]

@toxic zephyr if you don't mind asking, where do you live? In many countries you would automatically ground your PC to your PC

[warm bobcat]

usb cant be grounded if the pc you plug it into isnt grounded

[buoyant solstice]

Right. But how do you plug in a PC without ground in this day and age?

[toxic zephyr]

the casing of the plug is grounded, and that ground is connected to psu ground, and psu ground is connected to hopefully actual ground

[astral sedge]

@buoyant solstice keep in mind that ground vs earth is something that gets lost in tranlsaqtion

@buoyant solstice being Dutch?

[buoyant solstice]

Fleimi is Finnish though.

[toxic zephyr]

the same way as you have those old outlets in denmark :>

my entire house was built before grounded schuko receptacles were a thing

[buoyant solstice]

Those are strictly for low power devices, and you'd have to go out of your way to make a PSU type plug that goes into two pins 😄

[toxic zephyr]

ergo, no ground whatsoever anywhere but the washroom

[astral sedge]

A lot of older Dutch flats that I have seen have outlets without earth. Only grounded Shukos in the bathroom/ktichen

[buoyant solstice]

(Very common with laptops though, gotta get that old cutter out the box)

[astral sedge]

@toxic zephyr yeah than a voltage differential is expected to be there. So what you are seeing is completely normal

[warm bobcat]

even in the US there are plenty of houses without ground, any house built before the 60s would need a major retrofit, and plenty of home owners just dont... so they put in frounded outlets without a ground because noone removes the outlet to check

[toxic zephyr]

I know, it's just the half of the AC wave

but it's fun to show to people

[astral sedge]

@toxic zephyr it might go away with you rotate your power plug 180 degrees (if that is possibl with your danish ones)

[toxic zephyr]

I think then I'd just read -112V

[astral sedge]

might not

[toxic zephyr]

I'll give it a try out of curiosity sometime

[north egret]

is this why my current keeb shocks me

[worldly pebble]

the magnetic jade's I ordered just came in with the keycaps

[buoyant solstice]

I mean... possibly?

[north egret]

Using a footrest rn so it doesn't bother me as much but does this affect the keyboard long term?

[tight swallow]

I would say worry about your pc more XD

[north egret]

I'll get a new pc, dont wanna damage the 80he when it arrives

[bright jewel]

priorities straight

[floral fractal]

Doesnt this rely on the bottom pin on US plugs

no bottom pin = no ground

Atleast I know with macbooks, you can electrify their frame doing that

[toxic zephyr]

of course yeah

if you don't have ground.... you don't have ground

[floral fractal]

yeah thought so

[toxic zephyr]

I don't know when they started mandating grounded outlets here but my house was built before that was a thing

[floral fractal]

Yeah mine as well, mines a 1924 house 🙂 We only have grounded in our recently finished basement

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/smh-just-dumb-wtf-huh-what-gif-12842396

[toxic zephyr]

haha well most likely it's half the nominal AC voltage you get in denmark

[buoyant solstice]

Jokes aside using ungrounded is very common in Danish homes, and seemingly without any issues.

I can hardly attest to it, since I live in an apartment that was built last year though

(Though I bet if I go digging, some of my power strips are ungrounded, including my PC)

I haven't gotten shocked by electronics since the days of CRT monitors 😄

[toxic zephyr]

meanwhile I never really bothered much with grounding when building, when I remember I touch the rad every once in a while

[buoyant solstice]

But due to my hair, I will get shocked on random fridges and doors throughout the day.

[toxic zephyr]

and yeah audio gear is a pain when you have a ground loop going on...

I specifically had to move to optical into my DAC when I lived in a place that was grounded

I just got ground loop buzzing otherwise, the only solution was to electrically isolate the circuits by powering the DAC with a phone charger (that's not grounded) into a USB-cable for the power, and then connect the DAC to my PC with optical

if I powered it with the USB cable from my PC, of course the USB cable connected them both to the ground and buzzing ensued

[astral sedge]

@toxic zephyr did you have your DMM on AC or on DC voltage measurement?

[worldly pebble]

wow these jades sound amazing

[past parrot]

time machine.

[worldly pebble]

then again i am comparing them to my 30$ keyboard switches so

[last rain]

yo how long is this gonna take to arrive has anyone bought it in philippines?

[toxic zephyr]

on AC

[astral sedge]

oh interesting.

but still not suprising 🙂

would have expected a DC potential rather than AC potential

[atomic brook]

its a preorder

[last rain]

oh fuck

i thought it said 7 - 10 business days

[atomic brook]

the time it tells you when you purchase it

[last rain]

also this i already sent the verification how long will it take to not be on hold

[atomic brook]

when you email them the verification

by following their instuctions

then they will sort it out

might take a while but dw, it will not affect ur delivery time

[buoyant solstice]

Payment verifications are high priority due to the time sensitive nature.

Should be within a day or two.

[last rain]

ah alright thank u

im just worried about it not arriving but its fs gonna arrive right

[atomic brook]

ya

you should be getting in

early to mid november

[potent galleon]

[last rain]

oh fuck ill take it good enough

maybe i shoulda just waited for the hong kong batch

would it be better if i cancelled and waited for the hk batch?

[atomic brook]

no

the hk batch rn is only for a few countries

[last rain]

or could i just go to hong kong and buy it there will they have a store

[atomic brook]

wooting does not have official physical stores/retailers

[last rain]

ah alright thanks

[atomic brook]

nw

[quiet lynx]

you should probably just verify for this batch

don't think you'll get it any sooner regardless

[last rain]

yep i verified

sent the email already

[quiet lynx]

I'm waiting til later November

🗣️

[last rain]

when does it say its arriving?

[spring oar]

uuu 3 months

[quiet lynx]

doesn't my keyboard doesn't even exist yet tmk

they haven't even produced them

[spring oar]

patient, I need to be patient...

[karmic canyon]

requested for a change from zinc black to zinc white given that it would not change my batch. got a response which said they changed it for me and it wont affect my batch, but i just took a look and i got moved to eu brug 😢 just replied to them to let them know, hopefully i dont get shafted

[quiet lynx]

based on the batch update you should be fine since it was before September 1st

it might just be backend stuff that needs to be manually updated

[atomic brook]

no

[quiet lynx]

?

[atomic brook]

the batch updates refers to adding items

such as lubesets or stuff

not changing a keyboard

[quiet lynx]

maybe this is my misunderstanding

[buoyant solstice]

Critically it is not September 1st yet.

[karmic canyon]

regardless i mentioned that if it would change my batch then i would not want to change colour. so hopefully it will be fixed

[atomic brook]

ya best to wait for the email reply

[tacit isle]

is it possible that the 80he will arrive sooner than october?

[pliant goblet]

No

[restive bay]

You dont need to worry about this, take into account that its EU-Brug (second batch) the mass production have not even started yet

so it doesnt matter if it takes a week or two

it wont affect the delivery time by any means

[atomic brook]

yes

[restive bay]

they are flooded in emails atm (first batch request, same with second batch, new customers, etc...)

[worn compass]

Dude you’re lucky enough that it’s coming, we could’ve got another delay 😭😭😭

[atomic brook]

if ur in hk's batch

otherwise not likely

[restive bay]

you better do not change anything post mass production

[tacit isle]

ok

[tacit isle]

yh I guess

[worn compass]

Trust me bro it’ll be all more satisfying when it arrives just have some patience

[tacit isle]

I already kinda forgot about it since I ordered 5 months ago

but i would still prefer to get it sooner

[worn compass]

Tbh who wouldnt

Just sayin that it’d be better to get used to the set estimate date than hoping for an earlier delivery date

[buoyant perch]

When it's September 1st. I will have insomnia 👀

[odd briar]

As promised, the 80he wrist rest up against my new 15,6 work laptop

[oak jungle]

they shipped the wristrest ? without the keyboard ?

[spring oar]

takes less time to manufacture the wrist rest since there's already one for 60he and 2he

[fleet forge]

he bought it seperate from his 80he order..

or he enabled sending as stuff becomes availablewhich also means multiple shipping cost

[oak jungle]

AHA

[worldly stream]

whats the comfort like on these

i plan to buy one later on after i get my 80he

[odd briar]

It's no plush razer wrist rest, but it's also leagues better then corsairs hard plastic garbage

[worldly stream]

im new to custom keyboards as well so this will be fun

[odd briar]

Same

[fleet forge]

im still using mine i had form the wooting tkl from 2019 to this day. its pretty good

[worldly stream]

ok so good but not as good as my razer plush

still better as it can be cleaned easy

[odd briar]

My current kb is a razer bw v3p

[spring oar]

I use handtowel as wrist rest

[worldly stream]

im on the blackwidow elite

[odd briar]

And the wrist rest started flaking a few weeks ago

[worldly stream]

and its starting to show its wear pretty much

[fleet forge]

ah so it has 2 uses at once

[odd briar]

It's only like 3 years old

[worldly stream]

mine has a big patch of no leather like cloth

[spring oar]

yesh, clean my mess, and make my wrist feels good. Recently add another one and it feels even better.

[worldly stream]

and my number 1 key and / key double types sometimes now

[spring oar]

Machine washable and cheap

[fleet forge]

whats the material? pleather?

[worldly stream]

yours is way better condition then mine tho

but for it flake that soon is odd

[odd briar]

Plastic leather

[worldly stream]

mine didnt start flaking till the fourth year

razer's qc fell off hard

[odd briar]

Razer ain't ever been shit

[worldly stream]

since the blackwidow elite they fell

[odd briar]

They've always been kinda mid

[fleet forge]

bro i bought a beyerdynamic 1990 pro for like 400 bucks and apaprently they put pleather on that shit too.. really disappointing as it looks completely destroyed already

[worldly stream]

well maybe not but it was better then their latest hardware

[atomic brook]

their peak was the viper mini

thats all

[odd briar]

Get some brainwavz gels

[worldly stream]

everyone flamed me for getting a blackwidow elite when it was my first keyboard it lasted i5 years and still works

[odd briar]

Dekoni also got some great pads

[fleet forge]

whats that

[odd briar]

Some nice aftermarket ear pads

[fleet forge]

oh i didnt mean earpads. mine are velvet

[atomic brook]

i mean it works

[fleet forge]

i meant the headband

[atomic brook]

but it is kinda ass for that price

[odd briar]

Oh, ah

[worldly stream]

they sound ok but for 200 i realized i got ripped off back then

for 200 i could have had a custom board leagues better

[atomic brook]

ye

[worldly stream]

granted it would not have the features fully probably

on the firmware side

[odd briar]

My current work keyboard is better then everything razer ever made

Rk gaming royal kludge rk98

[worldly stream]

i canceled my order for my razer blackwidow v4 to get the 80he my friend barrowed me enough to pre order

[odd briar]

Also put some akko fairy silents in it, cause office

[worldly stream]

so i didnt miss it because i heard stock issues happen a lot with wooting after release

is this true?

[odd briar]

Less of an issue

Just high demand

[worldly stream]

i see so it still would likely be out of stock tho when i were to buy

[oak jungle]

Razer is trash

[worldly stream]

on release vs now

[oak jungle]

run away from them I beg you sir

[odd briar]

Come on, don't be like that

[oak jungle]

run they are not worth throwing your money on

[odd briar]

Trash can be used to fire furnaces

[worldly stream]

im using the deathadder elite with the freewheel and i like it has a weird play in the click but works good still

[oak jungle]

I beg you don't buy from them

[odd briar]

Razer stuff is useless when new

[oak jungle]

their mouse is good

[odd briar]

Razer synapse tho💀

[oak jungle]

but their keyboard are sh*t

[worldly stream]

i mean they are bad on most products but thats for enthusiasts their keyboards are for mostly esport players who need something fast and a brand behind them

[odd briar]

Can't even flash the profile to the mouse

Forced to use the crap software

[buoyant perch]

You mean a sponsor. Aka free money/gear.

[oak jungle]

and on my 3rd world country I have no warranty which is weird

[worldly stream]

i wish i could stop using synapse but then the mouse and mouse pad i regret buying will go disco mode

[oak jungle]

but wooting gave me one

while im living on 3rd world country

[buoyant perch]

iCue is like that... only works if the app hasn't crashed ... lol

[odd briar]

Low-key the only benefit to being a tasteless gamer😂

Not me and my rainbow everything

[worldly stream]

i like colors but i prefer my blue gold ice color i made

its a blue white gold wave effect

and managed to match my pc with to the right color and timings funny enough

[worldly stream]

real question why hasnt razer just seperated the light software smh

so we dont need the rest just that bit

[buoyant perch]

Did you try using a induction filter? My bro used one on his thunderbolt cable.

[worldly plume]

that is the solely reason why i have replaced my old DT 990 Pro with the DT 990 Black Special Edition
no leather, no problems anymore ✅

[fleet forge]

hmmm lemme check if its in my local amazon

[odd briar]

If not dekoni also makes a pretty good cloth replacement

[fleet forge]

https://i.imgur.com/sHX4PTg.png

wait wrong headphones

[worldly plume]

i've replaced the headband twice with the original spare parts but they last like 1 year or even less if you have a below 1mm buzzcut, those stubble will eat that leather

[odd briar]

Want the link?

[fleet forge]

i found the right one, ty. has better score but only 3 reviews

[odd briar]

Velour is where it's at anyway for open backs imo

[fleet forge]

the earpads are. the headband isnt

[odd briar]

Much nicer and doesn't get sticky

[odd briar]

Such a whack choice for a German company

[fleet forge]

super disappointing. its so little leather they couldnt have use genuine for 400€+??

[odd briar]

Tho can't say all too much, Sennheiser ain't what they used to be either

My 660s are much nicer packaged and have better warranty then the newer hs660s2

[fleet forge]

i had a sennheiser 600s before these. comfi and everything but bass was really week and ingames hearing steps was kinda impossible

or 650s actually. i dont remember

[odd briar]

660s basically balance out between those 2

Better base response then the 600s but cleaner mids then the 650s

[ebon vine]

With the most recent lekker v2 sound test. Would this also apply to the lekker. 45 v2 switches? And do yall think we should still be manually lubing them… I already bought the lubing kit

[red heart]

manual lube probably always helps but not really needed

but youll want to lube your switches eventually for regular upkeep so not too bad to have the extra lube kit

[spring oar]

Wait, you have to lube them again??

[red heart]

in like

2 years or longer

lube isnt eternal it escapes through holes or gets lost in other ways over time

[spring oar]

Oh, I just buy new switch pack then if im lazy. Spring degrade overtime too

[red heart]

seems a bit wasteful but sure

[spring oar]

That or I just order lube, spring and a kit from wooting.

[light relic]

is there any discount codes for wooting?

[buoyant solstice]

Not in the traditional sense, no. Though you may see some bundle discounts when checking out a keyboard, and picking certain accessories.

[light relic]

i want to preorder a wooting 80he :3

im from germany

[fallen epoch]

Cant forget DISCORD DISCOUNT, the best discount code

[light relic]

haha

[tough mauve]

I used that one when I ordered 👍

[light relic]

haha

is says -0

:c

[spring temple]

I got a question. Is the detachable usb-c cable that you can get with the wooting 80 as an accessory necessary for the true 8kHz polling rate or can I just use a usb-c cable from amazon?

[buoyant solstice]

No, No?

A regular 2m cable is included with the 80HE.

[spring temple]

right

[buoyant solstice]

The detachable cable is a "we know it works for sure" alternative with coiled cable aesthetics.

[spring temple]

rightt okay

[buoyant solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ojU_8ASVE
Aftermarket cables from other companies may have issues pushing full LED brightness and Tachyon mode.

[spring temple]

so cable is already included, people buy the alternative cable because it looks nicer

thank you so much <3

[spring oar]

hmmm, what if it doesn't work?

[buoyant solstice]

Then it's broken, and you have your warranty 🙂

[spring oar]

noice

[worldly pebble]

well my keyboard arrives in January im gonna hibernate till then

[spring temple]

I'm going to spray paint my case fully white. Would the paint job turn out better on a transparent white case or a normal black case? Or should I just find a white 80% case?

[buoyant solstice]

Won't REALLY matter. You should sand it, prime it with white and then clearcoat it.

[spring temple]

thank you again <3

[acoustic jasper]

wtf.

[valid comet]

it works at 8k right out of the box with everything that comes in the box

also usb 2.0 has way more than enough bandwidth for 8k

[restive bay]

Yesterday my HD800S arrive, more than happy with this cans

[ashen lichen]

I buy the 80he and im from Germany, too 😄
Its coming mid November

[valid comet]

https://tenor.com/view/blob-dancing-gif-21353115

[ashen lichen]

[valid comet]

getting my 80HE sometime mid-early oct

[quartz hare]

I want a refund, so I sent an email. How long do I need to wait

[valid comet]

3 business days i think depending on how busy they will be

it took that long for CS to get to me because I had to switch emails for my order, weird situation but all g now

[keen walrus]

Anyone know if the new Gateron Jade Pros will work with the Wooting HE keyboards? https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magnetic-jade-pro-switch-set?VariantsId=10855

Says on the bottom it supports Wooting but I'd like to double check just in case

[blissful spindle]

oh didn't know the jade pro is out already

what's the difference?

if it says it works with wooting, it should be fine

[keen walrus]

I think they've just made slight adjustments to the spring and stem to reduce wobble compared to the existing Jades

[valid comet]

I would assume they do, since they are a fariant of KS-20

[blissful spindle]

are there sounds test out? wanna know if they fix the topping out spring sound

[valid comet]

yeah they are easier to swap out and have longer springs making it more satisfying to type on i think?

honestly im not a fan of the tinted housing because its tinted and not clear

[blissful spindle]

yeah i did notice the jades were hard to pull out

[valid comet]

they are made easy to pull out with the pros

[blissful spindle]

i just placed an order for raw he, i'm guessing jade pro is not much of an upgrade over the og

[buoyant perch]

Is that real leather? My DT1990's clips are starting to break.. o.o

[keen walrus]

Yeah, assuming you already have the og Jades, I don't see a reason to buy the new ones. These will be my first Jade switches so I'm going with these

[iron blaze]

is anyone going to make custom keyboard cases for the 80HE?

[buoyant perch]

Without STL/dimensions, probably not.

[toxic zephyr]

we are not oracles

[toxic zephyr]

those will be provided

[fleet forge]

Yes

[valid comet]

Ok wooting I bought Lekker v2 (45 and 60) switches and some coiled cables too

[upper garden]

it got delayed again?

[valid comet]

no

[upper garden]

oh okay

[valid comet]

just once and from late august to early mid october for me

[upper garden]

yeah i know about that one

[upper garden]

you got a 60he+ right?

[valid comet]

that too and the Q1 HE as well

[upper garden]

i have a question does your 60he+ board bend if you press the keycaps hard on the corner?

[sullen sand]

no

[upper garden]

damn

it gives in if i put a lot of pressure into it

[sullen sand]

Barely any movement when I'm pressing on any key

But I have the 60HE

Not +

[upper garden]

i dont have moment when i press the keys normally

i just noticed it when i was swapping keycap set

[worldly pebble]

you guys think aftermarket cases for the 80 are gonna be expensive?

[sullen sand]

I'm sure there will be a cheap one on AliExpress one day 😂

[buoyant perch]

Thanks man, now I'm considering the 80HE as a backup keyboard in case the apocalypse comes early.

[sullen sand]

I don't know if the layout will be popular enough to have someone like KBDFans making a case for it, maybe they will

[upper garden]

they probably will. Its wooting after all

[sullen sand]

At least Wooting is offering multiple case choices this time

Wonder when the status will change from mass production to shipping to warehouse 👀

[worldly pebble]

I mean the tofu redux is like 60$ on ali express

so I'm tryna estimate how much a case for the 80 would be

[sullen sand]

It's also $60 on the KBDFans site 😂

[sullen sand]

Anywhere between 60-150$ probably

But considering it will be a case for one keyboard alone it will probably be on the higher end

Whereas the 60 layout cases can fit many PCBs

[worldly pebble]

yeah that's what I was thinking

[buoyant perch]

Amen, I want one made out of nickel-chromium-based superalloy, like Inconel.

[worldly pebble]

well I believe in the power of Chinese production

[small rune]

Any bad news?

[fleet forge]

if there were any itd be in #📦│batch_updates

[small rune]

Thanks

[icy cosmos]

Good morning Friday. Another week in the bag

[half flume]

u like q1 or 60he more

[valid comet]

q1 he for general use and gaming

tray mount hurts my fingers

but i love the software and how responsive the 60HGE+ is and its so fun to use

its just not that practicall for me

[fickle lava]

idk wich channel is best for this but i got a FEATURE IDEA an Alternative dks version where you can set 4 keys/key combinations but only one gets triggered based on the height you release the key at you could use mutiple abilities or access multiple menus over just one key or use the alternative functions of any key without needing to press anything else that would be insane for coding or writing lower and uppercase with only one key and you could still do everything very fast and dont need to hold anything the only limitation is that it wouldnt work for holding keys since it just presses the key once at the release point but still this would give so much possibilites

What keyboard does to a mofo
Sad

[coarse gulch]

I feel this LOL

I wonder if we'll get it a bit earlier considering production is completed now and the estimate final shipping is in 1.5 months

[livid cypress]

You don't need to check though? Your role gets mentioned with there's an update ^^

[livid cypress]

I'm hoping for this as well... 😂

[fleet forge]

only if you took the role to be tagged

[livid cypress]

True

[keen agate]

Lots of QA and stuff happens once they get it Id imagine though

[coarse gulch]

@keen agate I believe QA was before-during production
