[leaden jetty]

a key randomly keeps typing its letter even tho it isnt pressed anymore. is that a bug or a hardware issue?

pretty underwhelming feeling for such a expensive keyboard

[rose crane]

like when you type hello but like you also press on p or i or l ?

[lime falcon]

lol

[leaden jetty]

when i type a word for example Banana and after i pressed the letter a of it and keep going with the rest it keeps typing a as if i still would hold it

[rose crane]

ooh

well it happends

i have that aswell

but its soooo much better then steelseries

[leaden jetty]

what do you do then? i disconnect the keyboard and plug it in again but it sucks so hard

[rose crane]

wait i have video of it

do you mean this

this was on my steelseries apex pro tkl 2019

when i was typing invoerrechten

[buoyant solstice]

Move the profile to the first slot.

[hazy hawk]

is anyone else having an issue that thair Esc key is not lighting up?

[obsidian coral]

i cant find the poling thing in the settings, it is possible without the application?

[midnight iron]

it's under the other settings area not the keyboard actuation stuff

[midnight iron]

oh i found the full image for the chinese one @lime falcon

so you can see there was some improvement from lekker to lekker v2, just the problem is vs. everything else it's still way below

[indigo stratus]

what do the numbers mean

[midnight iron]

they're basically testing magnetic flux change at the bottom out

basically how much can you get the switch to change it's flux and thereby trigger a change in what the keyboard is reading as it's position

[indigo stratus]

oh

looks like ttc is at the top?

[midnight iron]

yeah ttc magneto rgb and ttc magneto

[indigo stratus]

those are expensive af though

[midnight iron]

yeah honestly the 'value' box stem that's similar in performance to them is gateron jade gaming and ttc uranus esports

i wouldn't buy ttc magneto rgb unless you REALLY wanted the rgb see through housing

[quartz swan]

Hey, I’m having an issue with my 80HE where a few random keys just aren’t working and some are sending the wrong inputs. I turned the polling rate down to 1000hz and it still didn’t fix

[midnight iron]

tried different usb port/cable?

[lime falcon]

damn

[kindred coral]

Is it normal that the 80he case gets really hot

[lime falcon]

havent noticed on mine

[kindred coral]

I can like feel my deskmat is slightly damp right under the keyboard

[midnight iron]

i've never felt my keyboard getting hot ever

but then again i never touch anything but the keys

[lime falcon]

I remember my 60he was slightly warm, but 80he is fine

also I dont use rgb so maybe thats why

[kindred coral]

I have the rgb on 70% brightness all the time

[lime falcon]

if its not hot, its fine. dont worry

[kindred coral]

I found the rgb turning off every 30 seconds very annoying so I turned it to always stay on

[lime falcon]

This is what I use

[kindred coral]

I turned them both on 30 min

[valid comet]

how hot are we talking

like lukewarm or uncomfortable

[kindred coral]

its like touching my forehead

[valid comet]

because if you mean just around room temp yeah my 80HE is like that

[valid comet]

thats abnormally warm

[keen vector]

my 80he has not been hot at all

[valid comet]

around*

[keen vector]

or even warm ngl

and it's on the default rbg setttings

[valid comet]

so no tachyon right

[keen vector]

tachyon on

or tachyon mode is on

[valid comet]

i leave it off

also for some reason my 80HE LEDs seem to be more dim than my 60HE+ LEDs both at 70% same RGB settings and same stock 60HE+ cable

70% i mean

[analog jungle]

Damn my shits been ready to pack for a week +

Im cursed when it comes to ordering from wooting lol

[umbral timber]

was prob set to "ready to pack" status too early

[indigo stratus]

more of where this came from: https://www.kdocs.cn/l/cm7TXhkobT9o

[cedar hound]

has anyone else had a key be registered as a press immediately when they inserted a new switch? in wootility it shows 0.7mm already when i lay the switch on top of the board. after insertion it shows 1.6mm.

[rotund sable]

same here. my estimated delivery went from 20-24th of november to now 28-2nd of december

[umbral timber]

black zinc case ansi?

[rotund sable]

yes

[cedar hound]

and the board goes crazy after insertion in general

[midnight iron]

that's normal. You're supposed to replug the keyboard when changing switches so it recalibrates

[slate rose]

I’m going to commit genocide

[cedar hound]

oh i see, thx

[umbral timber]

i assume your order will be shipped next week

[rotund sable]

damn I only placed mine last month. Its felt like buying a new toy that you cant play with till Christmas xD

[mossy ocean]

Mines 30 Nov - 09 Dec

[slate rose]

Yeah it’s the first thing I ordered for my “new setup”

Currently the last thing left

[runic flame]

i have same, and when I did see they mix now shipments with ppl who did order white and chnaged to black after news that white have problems.... its mega cringe....

[slate rose]

Very

[rotund sable]

Yea kinda the same for me, my keyboard is the oldest thing I have rn other than my side monitor

[slate rose]

I picked black day one

[runic flame]

same.

[rotund sable]

I hope the zinc is worth it

[carmine pulsar]

the guy that asked franceska albanese about "how do you know that they commit a genocide, did they have an official document about that" would be proud

[white dock]

everyone elses 80he keys sound way louder then when it was new

[slate rose]

Hey don’t say the potato didn’t warn

[white dock]

im on the fence of just straight up returning this keyboard, the keys all sound very different after some use, all of them in general sound very different, the stabilizer on my spacebar is chalked, qc isnt really there at all, the led bar is full of black specs aswell, i was expecting something different for 230 euro

[slate rose]

I heard people removing the pads under the stabilizers helped

Don’t have a kb to confirm tho

[umbral timber]

Just sucks. This keyboard was gonna be a potential birthday gift for my closest friend and I had hopes to receive it before I drive down to the states on the 26th for USA Thanksgiving. Plus $500 cad now for a gift that will be arrive way too late???? Sad how this is how I start my Wooting journey

[white dock]

yeah im not really in the mood of modifying a prebuilt keyboard for 230 euro for it to sound decent

i also dont know what it is but for some keys like the A and D key that i use alot in gaming the sound changed drastically like the lube just kinda dissapeared or something

[mossy ocean]

Is it rng for it to sound good out of box then?

[slate rose]

Yeah again not sure if what I said is gonna help anyway I just saw some ppl talking about it here a couple days ago

[runic flame]

thats crazy 😮

[white dock]

yes and the QC for what i have seen on the spacebar is very bad. legit alot of reviewers spacebar is bad on one side, mine is aswell.

[mossy ocean]

is that the wire being bad then or

[white dock]

its exremely rattly and just lubing it doesnt fix it because the wire itself from the spacebar isnt even

[mossy ocean]

hmm

that sucks..

[white dock]

and some even more concering stuff is that some people legit get BENT keyboards

[runic flame]

i have HE60 module + Optimum set and sound is SICK good I hope HE80 will have at least good sound comparing it.

[slate rose]

I sure hope mine doesn’t suck after all this wait

[rotund sable]

yea same

[lime pier]

my 80he stopped working a day after i got it 3: bad luck

[runic flame]

+1

[mossy ocean]

I dont often read those kind of impressions but if it does happen to you that really sucks

[rotund sable]

Ill be going back to razer if this is how it plays out

[white dock]

i waited since april and so far im not really seeing the benefit to this over something that is way cheaper

support said that they would straight up replace the keyboard which is nice. im gonna see how the new one turns out

[lime pier]

how long did it take support to help you? just wondering

[mossy ocean]

Thats good atleast yeah

[lime pier]

i put my ticket in last night so i’m praying abt a week

[runic flame]

yeah in 6 months 😊

[white dock]

Took like 8 days for them to respond

[lime pier]

okay tysm

[mossy ocean]

It always took 2 weeks to get started here, and then the follow up replies take like 3-5 days

[white dock]

if my replacement keyboard doesnt have any of the issues that i have rn, i will be happy and tell you guys. if it happens to have some qc issue i might just return it.

[mossy ocean]

Can you make vid of the spacebar, kind of curious

[rotund sable]

I look forward to seeing how it goes

[white dock]

yes

[mossy ocean]

Appreciate it

[rotund sable]

I just hope mine turns out fine 🙏

[white dock]

i lubed it myself

it sounded worse before

[mossy ocean]

Ouch

[runic flame]

I did get AKKO year of Dragon to my GF as gift its nice TKL too when you like how it look

[rotund sable]

Does anyone that lives in Canada know what company they used for shipping?

Canada Post is on strike so im worried about that

[maiden peak]

ups

[rotund sable]

ok great

[indigo stratus]

interesting that wooting consistently places decently low on the charts, and the melgeek made68 is high up usually

https://www.douyin.com/video/7433338127344831771

[low token]

Only charts that are not fake are from eyejoker

And wtf is that sussy link

[indigo stratus]

who is eyejoker

[indigo stratus]

douyin?

[low token]

Ye

[indigo stratus]

chinese tiktok

theres a ton of content in china about magnetic keyboards

im chinese (not from china, america)

[low token]

I cant even enter that

[midnight iron]

eyejoker also has lekkers placed very low though

[valid comet]

am I wrong in maybe saying that wooting should allow the user to have custom deadzones? it's really not that snappy, my 60HE+ genuinely feels faster (no tachyon) than my 80HE... with or without tachyon

[midnight iron]

whether it's by mm or gauss readings lekkers don't place very well

[valid comet]

the only reason I use the 80HE is because it is more usable for me

[midnight iron]

honestly i never felt much difference between 60he+ and 80he, you might just not like bounce

[valid comet]

i prefer the way it physically feels it makes gaming easier on my hands

[midnight iron]

there's a slight stiffness difference is all. The very tiny deadzone difference between the 2 shouldn't have an impact on snappier feel

[low token]

Remember lower number = better for these people

[obsidian coral]

i see tyvm

[lime falcon]

Its just you, never noticed a difference between 60he and 80he, infact 80he felt snappier

[low token]

Well it is more consistient

[lime falcon]

you will never notice that "consistency"

[valid comet]

must be my unit honestly, I really dont like how sluggish and inconsistent it feels. again has nothing to do with the hardware, this is purely a firmware/software thing, maybe my unit is a dud idk

[midnight iron]

if anything what he's noticing is probably the small give of the gasket if he's hyper sensitive to that. The deadzone difference between 60he+ and 80he is so small that it shouldn't be noticable

so stiffness is affecting how it feels to you

[verbal solar]

What's wrong with your keyboard?

[valid comet]

i am mostly using the bottom right the up arrow

[white dock]

read above

[verbal solar]

TLDR?

[valid comet]

so the stiffest part of the board

[white dock]

QC is bad

[valid comet]

it shouldnt be an issue

[verbal solar]

Gotcha

So far I'm loving my wooting 80he

[white dock]

how long did you have it for

[midnight iron]

the gasket in wooting moves as one

[verbal solar]

2 days so far

[white dock]

how are the stabilizers for you?

[verbal solar]

Beautiful

[midnight iron]

it's not traditional gasket that flexes in the middle

the pcb is all together

[white dock]

do all of your switches sound the same?

[verbal solar]

My switches were well lubricated and it sounds very clean

[turbid ember]

has anyone else had this issue? my optimum series keycaps or a Fn key short?

[verbal solar]

No, some of them have a different pitch than others but they mostly all sound the same

Space bar sounds pretty muted

[white dock]

was the same for me in the beginning, a week in some of them sound way more pingy

[verbal solar]

Which is good

[white dock]

especially WASD etc

[verbal solar]

You're more of a sound guy?

Sound doesn't matter all too much to me

[white dock]

well i like a muted sound of a keeb

[verbal solar]

Fair

[red heart]

that looks like a mistake, best would be to email support and get the keycap sent over as soon as possible

[verbal solar]

Hall Effect keyboards aren't very good at that no?

[white dock]

and the whole entire sound profile kinda just changed, plus the wire on my spacebar is very bad

[verbal solar]

Was it that bad the entire time?

[white dock]

not really, but the sound profile of the 80he sounds exactly what i want

[verbal solar]

Fair

[white dock]

yeah the spacebar was chalked since the beginning

[verbal solar]

I see

I'm very blessed to have gotten a nice wooting 80he

[white dock]

im gonna figure out a replacement with support and see if its better

[verbal solar]

I try to be gentle with it

[turbid ember]

luckily i was using dual shot 2 keycaps and the grey matches well for now but would like them completely blank haha. i’ll contact support.

[white dock]

mine has dirty specs on the inside of the LED bar aswell

and the ABS case was scratched at one side

[verbal solar]

I mean i have one tiny black spec on the inside of my LED bar

[white dock]

my luck i guess, i always have to go through like 2 units of a product until its actually not broken

[verbal solar]

Nothing to fuss about though

[white dock]

wouldnt really care about it that much but this thing is like 230 euro

[verbal solar]

Yeah the wooting 80he is quite expensive

It feels premium though

[white dock]

yes

i mean for plastic lol

[verbal solar]

I love their wrist rest too

[white dock]

230 euro on plastic is kinda youch aswell

[verbal solar]

I wasn't expecting it to be silicon

I like it more than my razer foam/cloth one

Makes typing and playing games for a long period of time easier

Couldn't you lube your space bar

[white dock]

i did

its the wire

[verbal solar]

That didn't make it any better?

[white dock]

nope

[verbal solar]

Ohhhh rip

Yeah not much you can do about the wire

[white dock]

and i mean dont get me wrong i know about the modding scene of keyboards and see what products are available there

for 230 euro man you can get some good stuf´f

[verbal solar]

Yeah but i think that the 80he is the best on the market

Latency wise

I've never used a keyboard that's felt so responsive

[white dock]

i mean, not really anymore

[verbal solar]

Regardless i'm very happy with my product and couldn't see myself using another keyboard

[white dock]

in the beginning beside the spacebar i was very happy with it aswelll

[white dock]

im just gonna wait for the replacement and see how thatll be

[valid comet]

i wish I could say the same for my 80HE (even with tachyon on with time to fully calibrate)

[white dock]

i can always just return it so it isnt really that big of a deal, just waited so long lmao

[verbal solar]

That's fair. At least you have a great keyboard you an use in the meantime

[verbal solar]

What's wrong with your 80he?

[white dock]

i mean ill probably have to return it for them to send a replacement no? Xd

[verbal solar]

Depends if they're asking for it back

[white dock]

or does wooting ship out a new one while u send the old one back?

[white dock]

i doubt theyll just let me keep one lol

[verbal solar]

No clue how their returns and replacements work

[white dock]

they are very nice ive heard but i dont think that they are THAT nice lol

[midnight iron]

with wooting they tend to ship you new one then get the broken one sent back after. At least that's how it's been for me with my ticketed stuff in the past

[white dock]

thats nice atleast

im REALLY liking the keycaps of the 80HE though

the texture is unlike any other keeb ive tried and they are NICE af

[dawn pagoda]

🇨🇳👉🤨

[white dock]

if nothing else im most likely keeping the keycaps lol

[verbal solar]

To be honest I don't really care about the feel of keycaps

As long as they're not like REALLY bad quality

I'd rather have aesthetic keycaps

[indigo stratus]

sussy is when chinese

[low token]

There is only one china

[valid comet]

• My 80HE unit with tachyon on and time to calibrate is more inconsistent (most times) than MY 60HE+ unit without tachyon, both blue spectrum, 70% RGB, RAW HE 50g. Same stock 60HE+ cable. The thing that annoys me is when it works well, it is way faster than the 60HE+ and I can genuinely feel it, but most times it's slower! And I can't control this!
• My PC plate is defective, on the bottom left of my Left ALT key is stuck pointed away from me and I can't press it in towards me (unfixable issue for me as a consumer)
• The Black Zinc top plate is not properly aligning with the keys on the PC plate. I tried pressing the plate as top left as I could but it was still off center, hard to explain. for example, the 60% alphanumeric portion, is centered, but the nav and arrow cluster are shifted too far to the top right of their cutouts. This is also unfixable as a consumer.
• Bottom of the case there is a blemish I haven't noticed at all until I started modding my kb (45~ days after ownership, I have owned it for just over 2 months)

Still tryna build my case but so far my unit is just not good.

[valid comet]

I will be taking photos and videos of these issues

[nova nexus]

Statements like this can be very politically charged and lead to very opinionated conflicts of belief, which can very easily spiral out of control. Best to not make them [in a keyboard discord] in the first place.

[glad sigil]

Anyone having an issue where with an 80he, pressing down hard or spamming a key with 8khz + rt is disconnecting their keyboard?

[low token]

Okay okay sorry mark

[lime falcon]

set 1000 polling

[glad sigil]

8khz matters for a game i play i wanna keep lol

[valid comet]

which game?

[verbal solar]

Man i'm sorry you're experiencing those issues

[glad sigil]

its very inconsistent so IDK

[lime falcon]

no it doesnt

[valid comet]

thanks

[glad sigil]

i have to do 60fps frame perfects commonly

[glad sigil]

gd lol

[valid comet]

I'll build my case and I trust Wooting will be able to resolve it

[valid comet]

DUDE SAME

[glad sigil]

i thought ur name was kinda familiar

[lime falcon]

Yes, and difference between 8k and 1k is not even 1ms

[glad sigil]

there is a mod that also ties inputs to polling rate directly

(i dont use it but it still matters because at the standard 240tps u can still feel the difference)

[valid comet]

when my 80HE works the way it should it works amazingly but my unit is not reliable in terms of its performance too. I usually play at 720FPS/TPS Physics bypass with CBF to get the rawest inputs possible

[glad sigil]

maybe the only game in the world where 8k vs 1k makes a difference

[glad sigil]

720 physics bypass is full cheating ngl LOL

[valid comet]

only if the 8k is actually done properly

[valid comet]

thats fine, i quit comp gd back in 2017

[lime falcon]

why dont you return it then, i feel like youre mentioning these issues for like a month

[valid comet]

I probably should, I was just wondering if anyone else was

[glad sigil]

performance wise mine feels fine its just that it fully disconnects when this happens and its inconsistent

im spamming a RT button now on 8khz and its fine

[lime falcon]

consider lowering your brightness and try other usb port

[glad sigil]

i also have gateron jades so maybe the travel distance matters?

[glad sigil]

ive had this issue on 2 different PCS but ill try the brightness

[valid comet]

but also the reason I use physics bypass is because without it the game looks like ass on 360Hz and I cannot go down to 240Hz because I wont be able to use ULMB 2 at all

[glad sigil]

also its happened on non RT keys as well

[valid comet]

it's more of a clarity issue

[lime falcon]

it happens because of 8k

[glad sigil]

oh thats like confirmed?

[lime falcon]

power related issue, so just lower your brightness or just disable it

or just use 1k

[glad sigil]

i swear the game i play 8k actually makes a difference lol

[lime falcon]

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1309425793704792064

[valid comet]

I also tried completely dimming my board and enabling tachyon, and giving it time to fully calibrate, when it works it works really well but otherwise most times it still feels kinda slow (multiple times)

[midnight iron]

i gotta be honest I think the things you're noticing are not things other people are able to notice or scutinize that much (outside of the blemish thing). If it really bothers you then you should talk to wooting about a fix or return

[distant monolith]

Gonna try again..
Why after making my choice, this keeps coming back?

[crude shale]

Only issue I noticed with Tachyon mode is it makes me drop frames lol

[nova nexus]

If you choose to wait, you can later decide that you don't want to wait and make another choice

[distant monolith]

So this part is only applicable to the first 2 options right?

[glad sigil]

what is even the advantage to using 720fps physics bypass AND cbf? what HZ is ur monitor? if ur talking about this in the scope of gd then yeah no one else will probably feel this because of how precise you need to be to notice it

[valid comet]

yeah my case is definitely more niche but yeah I will open a ticket with wooting, will wait patiently!

[valid comet]

meet me in #🔌│tech

[nova nexus]

Definitely applicable to "ship it now" and is applicable to "swap to black" once that gets executed on in the back end

[distant monolith]

Alright thanks for the clarification!

Hope good news for white zinc V2 soon!

[finite rover]

I still don’t notice that much of a difference honestly I think rapid trigger and magnetic switches are way more important than 8k

[glad sigil]

rapid trigger makes so much of a difference i cant use it because of how much better it is. 8k helps purely for input delay and timings tho

[finite rover]

Do you have the wooting 80he

[glad sigil]

yes

i have a 60he too

[finite rover]

What’s going on with your rapid trigger

[iron verge]

My 80he finally came in after 3 months !!!!

[glad sigil]

it just makes ship so heavy i cant use it my muscle memory is messed up lol its way too accurate

[chrome forge]

W

zinc case ?

[iron verge]

No case

[crude shale]

How you do that

[valid comet]

That looks so sick :)

[naive creek]

hi guys i have my 80he is this normal sometime he freeze like he don't respond and i have to re connect it

[final wraith]

pinned in #1019755933959733258

[lean pagoda]

e

[worldly pebble]

huh X)?

as in did you get the plastic or metal case

[twilit juniper]

I can’t believe it’s here

[fathom helm]

looks like a zinc case tbyh

[topaz sequoia]

Yeah

I don’t know if I makes it heavy but it take a tad bit to adjust to

[lean pagoda]

took me 5 months for mine to come 💀

ordered it back in july

[prime sentinel]

Is there a specific technique to remove v2 switches, I’ve attempted to pull one a few times now and the resistance I’m getting seems like I’m going to break the switch

[candid basalt]

Mine is going on 9 months now and all now i can get mine this is BS

[lime falcon]

wiggle it and then pull out

[lean pagoda]

damn

I kinda just forgot about it until I checked it a week or so ago and then I saw it was about to be shipped

[lime falcon]

its easier to pull out with metal switch puller

[worldly pebble]

anyone got a picture of their 80he with yellow/ gold back lights?

wanna check smth rq

[lean pagoda]

what's the deal with these nonexistent keys next to the spacebar

[lime falcon]

those are leds not keys

[lean pagoda]

ooooh

so I can make parts of the spacebar black

[lime falcon]

yes

[candid orbit]

how do I make mine compatible with 8000

[lean pagoda]

uhh like this

[midnight iron]

waiting for wooting to figure out the exact fix lol

that's all you can really do for now

[worldly pebble]

bit more yellow pls :V

[lean pagoda]

Like R255 G245?

also how do I select more keys efficiently rather than just dragging over all of them 1 by 1

[worldly pebble]

250 200

[keen vector]

what'ss the difference between rappy snappy and socd?

you can't have both, right?

[lean pagoda]

the light doesn't bleed as much IRL if that matters

think that's more my 8 year old phone camera

[candid orbit]

oh okay

[zealous oak]

Mmmm, does your function row have a different colour?

Mine have when I set the exact same colour as the rest of the keyboard

Like if I put that yellow, the funcion row looks totally orange

[lean pagoda]

It does kinda look a bit different I think?

[lime falcon]

check pins in #⏬│rappy_and_snappy

[lean pagoda]

ok not that big of a difference

[zealous oak]

Well irl it is

[lean pagoda]

can it produce blue, red and green fine?

[zealous oak]

camera doesn't capture it as it really is

[lean pagoda]

on my old keyboard the blue diodes ended up dying

[lean pagoda]

nono I meant that my keyboard doesn't have that big of a difference

I see on your screenshot it's very noticeable xD

[worldly pebble]

perfect

[zealous oak]

Oh ok

[lean pagoda]

those are two completely different colours

[zealous oak]

Yes and I have set up the exact same in the entire keyboard

[lean pagoda]

that's odd

[zealous oak]

That's why I'm wondering

[lean pagoda]

what happens if you have pure blue, pure red and pure green?

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

[zealous oak]

Works fine

[lean pagoda]

then I'd assume it's a software thing?

since it can produce all the colours

or rather all the diodes work

not a hardware guy though

[zealous oak]

Maybe it is because of the side legends in the function rows don't capture all the light I don't know

It's pretty strange only with the yellow colour

It produces a orange one

[lean pagoda]

I don't have your issue, in my case I wasn't sure whether the colour was slightly weaker but it didn't look like an entirely different colour

If you mess around with only the function row and use different colours can you make it into that yellow?

[zealous oak]

Going to try pure yellow

[fathom helm]

almost 8 months of waiting and my 80he is still not here 😭 😔

[zealous oak]

They look totally different

[worldly pebble]

send ss of your wootility page?

[zealous oak]

How so?

Oh screenshot

[worldly pebble]

like this

[zealous oak]

Ok ok lol

[indigo stratus]

urine

[worldly pebble]

thats pretty wierd acc

[zealous oak]

The thing is, in this case what I see is the function row is displaying the colour properly, a real yellow. But the rest of the keyboard is greenish

[dusty basin]

Heya! I still have to wait another month for my 80HE. I saw a shocking video by boardzy (228K subscribers) on YouTube, that was released 4 hours ago.

Here are the main points he was talking about:
He was discussing his new Silkakeyb HM80 and comparing it to the Wooting 80HE.
I will use Gemini to quickly sum this video up.

According to him:
“The HM80 is a better keyboard than the Wooting 80HE.
The HM80 has a lower actuation point and a faster trigger speed.
The HM80 is also cheaper than the Wooting 80HE.
The Wooting 80HE has a better software and a longer warranty.
The HM80 is a better choice for gamers who want the best performance.
The Wooting 80HE is a better choice for gamers who want a more premium experience.”
Thanks Google AI

With all that said, is it even viable for a keyboard to have these kinds of low actuation points? He referenced a screenshot of the software showing “Fluctuations of 0.003 mm” and a “Real Time Value” of a keypress in the software. I will attach it to this post.

I felt quite shocked after watching this video. I questioned myself if I purchased the right thing. And I obviously cannot compare all these keyboards like this guy seems to do constantly. Does anyone here know if this is a legitimate competitor now or just a cheap Chinese knock-off?

[glossy flax]

What keycaps are those, brother? Looks clean

[worldly pebble]

rn the whole lowest actuation race doesnt make much sense

[hushed dirge]

Does anyone know if the Wooting 80 HE Zinc White will be available before Christmas, so it can be under the tree on Christmas Day? (Germany, Berlin)

[zealous oak]

I think I found the issue, let me try

[nova nexus]

I have not seen the video, but my first reaction is the marketing claims on this keyboard reference the measurement fidelity within the range of a key press, as opposed to the end or start of the key press.

Our keyboards measures in increments far smaller than 0.1mm but this is generally irrelevant - what matters is the behaviour at the start and end of press

[midnight iron]

tl;dr - he's talking about a few different topics and the ai thing you did isn't all that accurate

[low token]

Boardzy dosent know how it works

Soo let it slide a little

[sand loom]

what about the software, did he compare the software

[zealous oak]

Yep, I did @lean pagoda @worldly pebble. It is the blue colour of the keycap itself that is making the colour to look different. This is a set that have a gradient from white to blue downwards and the function rows are the one whites are displaying the colour properly

[midnight iron]

the main things boardzy is bringing up is whether wooting should allow lower actuation/rt and just give a warning that it may not be that stable to those who want to use it + also the topic that wootings switches suck as stock (in particular if they are part of the reason why wooting doesn't allow lower actuation/rt currently)

[worldly pebble]

yk i kinda had a feeling X)

but i didnt wanna sound like a dumbass either XD

[hushed dirge]

Does anyone know? It would be really important.

[midnight iron]

outside of that boardzy doesn't really know the technicalities of most of the stuff, he just prefers hyper sensitive settings and that's what he's campaigning for wooting allowing in their software

[dusty basin]

I wish he did! He didn't really show much of it in the video. He was ranting a lot. Personally, I wouldn't think that the software on the Silkakeyb would be anywhere near as good as Wootility. But he seemed very upset and not like someone who doesn't know what he is talking about.

[sly niche]

no it wont

[worldly pebble]

i literally went p sure ive had a physics class about stuff like this... oh well i never did pay much attention in class

[midnight iron]

i like boardzy but he doesn't know much about technical stuff, he just talks about what he thinks. I don't totally disagree with him on some points though, even if he doesn't quite get the full topic

[hushed dirge]

Okey ):

[midnight iron]

he's not saying it's as good. He's saying they allow sub 1mm actuation and rt and he wants wooting to allow that specific setting (and deadzone adjustments)

[sly niche]

he also mentions it sounds thocky but he hasmt even tried putting in jade pros in the 80he. and he talks about all switches having stem wobble. but doesnt seem to have tried geons

[zealous oak]

I guess maybe I need to get a better set that doesn't alter the colours that much

[worldly pebble]

and down to the keycap rabbithole he goes

Clean af. I love it!

stay frosty

[shadow bluff]

i ordered in October 15 can i expect it to be delivered before Christmas?

[buoyant solstice]

What does the hub say?

[worn compass]

Day 3 of owning an 80he, I still find it so hard to believe I actually own a wooting keyboard

literally almost compares to when I got my first pc build kind of feeling

[indigo stratus]

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/indeed-tealc-stargate-gif-4496552

[sand loom]

i ordered in early nov, was able to jump to an earlier batch, and am supposed to receive it late nov or early dec

[worldly pebble]

still gotta wait till december :(

[merry quiver]

weeeeee

Can't wait for premium 80 HE keyboard 😄

[iron verge]

Bruh why does backspace key look different from wtf?

Why does my and his 80 key format look different ?

[azure garnet]

Nordic spec

[red heart]

ISO layout vs ANSI layout

ISO has the big upside down enter

[iron verge]

@red heart oh so basically personal preference

[red heart]

Kinda yeah

[buoyant solstice]

Or "whatever your country uses" preference.

[red heart]

Well, some countries use iso some use ansi

[iron verge]

I live in usa California

USA

[red heart]

Yeah makes sense you havent seen ISO standard yet

[tribal trench]

You ordered nordic version

for american its ansi

[tight swallow]

Do they even have iso in the us store?

[tribal trench]

yea why they shouldnt?

i live in lithuania still have the feature to buy inso

[buoyant solstice]

The US Wooting store does not stock anything but ANSI.

[tribal trench]

weird then i didnt even knew this

[topaz anchor]

sane people should avoid boardzy videos. his entire purpose is to make you doubt yourself and change your mind every 3 days hoping you'd buy 53 different gaming mice and 12 keyboards

[valid comet]

I had no clue that's pretty cool! Nevertheless i think it would be neat to have some experimental features that users can try that you guys know are safe to use like adjustable deadzones maybe and if you have say a Raw HE switch you can change the reading from 4.0mm to 3.4mm? just some food for thought :)

[tight swallow]

I think they will do that thing with the diferent switch ranges depending on the switch you have (as far as I remember a purple said it was planned)

The adjustable deadzone is a thing that would be nice tho, mainly to make people stop with the "the other keyboard has a smaller deadzone" comments

[pure peak]

why in the profile it says my actuatuion point starts at .64 not 0

[old prism]

Is 0.1mm really not enough? lol

[gilded junco]

Surprisingly some schools would use it back in the day for some reason

[pure peak]

no like it says im pressing it .64 when im not pressing it

[tight swallow]

Did you touch your keyboard while you started it?

[pure peak]

no

[tight swallow]

Hmm weird

Try unplugging it an plugging it in again anyways, might fix it

[pure peak]

kk

[pure peak]

it worked thxx

[old prism]

Shocking videos again from boardzy

[candid orbit]

are there any advantages in getting the gateron?

[gilded junco]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-gif-21327280

[gilded junco]

Jade Pro and you’re the winner imo unless you like the sound of the Geon Raw HE

[old prism]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the delay in [Mod Tap] mode?

Spacebar + Fn1 for example.

[verbal solar]

Real

I'm loving my wooting so far

[verbal solar]

Subjective. I mean if you like the sound maybe but does it justify $80..?

I love the sound of the L60's (they're very muted and soft)

[candid orbit]

yeah I've seen some reviews I kinda not like the sound if I remember it correctly

[verbal solar]

I'm level 270 rn

[candid orbit]

I'm just wondering if having that magnet thing in switches really helps

[verbal solar]

They sound much better irl

[worn compass]

Im like lvl 90 lmao

[candid orbit]

are they clicky like the gaming keyboard e.g razer?

[worn compass]

no

[verbal solar]

No they're much softer and quieter

Kinda like browns..?

I don't really know how to compare the sound to a switch you might know

But they're very satisfying to type on

I personally love the keyboard and think HipyoTech was overcritical of it

[worn compass]

it was jarring how soft the 80he was

[verbal solar]

Then again he publicly critiques Effect keyboards

[worn compass]

I'm getting more used to it tho

[verbal solar]

Same

How do you like the wrist rest?

I'm loving it so far. Extremely comfortable.

I complained about it not being magnetic before but honestly it's so firmly mounted into place it doesn't need to be

[worn compass]

I didnt buy the wrist rest lol

[verbal solar]

Aww unfortunate

[worn compass]

Homemade wrist rest

[verbal solar]

If it works it works

[silent crescent]

Is the 80He worth it over the 60 for gaming?

[verbal solar]

yes

8k polling, better stock switches, lightbar, etc

You get the F row too

[gleaming iris]

the 80he sounds a lot better than i thought it would

definitely sounds worse when i record it with my phone lol

[worn compass]

ikr

[spring oar]

waow, 1 more day for me

[last solar]

He rarely misses but he missed hard on the 80HE video

Then again, doing a video where you hate on something as popular as a Wooting keyboard is bound to get you views

[gleaming iris]

using rapid trigger for normal typing feels pretty nice too

[last solar]

Hipyo thinks otherwise which is weird

[gleaming iris]

sometimes i spam backspace a lot and it is nice having all of that register without having to lift my finger much

i havent had any issues so i dont see why he would not like it

[last solar]

He thinks it’s too chattery and that it’s too expensive

[gleaming iris]

yeah it probably is too expensive, being $200 and not metal case, but i like it so far

[last solar]

But he’s legit looking for a keyboard that’s just nice to type on and sounds good, which is like 30% of a reason of why a gamer would get a Wooting

[gleaming iris]

im not that big into keyboards so idk what chatter really means

[last solar]

Everyone knows it’s for the polling rate and rapid trigger

[last solar]

Rattle and loud frequency noises

He likes deep thocc

[spring oar]

also the fact that you can just buy, plug, customize, and use without having to install anything at all

[gleaming iris]

yeah i definitely appreciate the web setup

[low token]

Keyboard nerds have terminology for Keyboard part sounds or entire keyboard sound

[last solar]

He just wanted views

[gleaming iris]

yeah so far i wouldnt really have any criticisms about this keyboard except for the price

[spring oar]

ehh, it's alright. Mans gotta eat.

[digital elm]

Hey, is it okay if my JST cable is bent like that?

[low token]

Umm

For long term it might break

[winged island]

I have a question, do you guys know if you can temporarily disable advanced keys without deleting them in wootility? I want to have rappy snappy and snappy tappy and be able to switch between them without deleting each time

[low token]

You cant have both on same key

[digital elm]

Even if I’m not moving it?

[low token]

From stress

Get either 2nd profile

Or choose one

[digital elm]

Because I did try to fit it in a way that it wouldn’t bend but it just keeps going back that way

[winter nebula]

I suggest a different profile.

Or use Fn lock to stay on a different fn layer

[low token]

You know there is pass trough channel.

[digital elm]

It is going through the pass through channel

[low token]

Sus

[winged island]

damn theres no way to actually disable it?

[low token]

Mate

[low token]

@winged island

[winter nebula]

If there is a way I do not know it.

[winged island]

i know i was just hoping that you could switch between them and disable one

[digital elm]

You can see it here

When I noticed it, I took apart my keyboard again to try and place it the correct way but the cable said no, and I’m trying not to take it appart too often because I’m having trouble opening the case because of the bottom hooks

[fallow geyser]

jesus

did i confirm shipping address

[verbal solar]

Ironic since he has a 500$ keyboard on his top 5

I think Hipyo is a shill imo

Even if his thoughts are his own if someone gave you 1000$ and asked you to rate their outfit 1/10 you'd rate them highly

[last solar]

could be, his opinions are very inconsistent imo

[verbal solar]

Agreed

[hard aurora]

Raw is elegant and the typing feels incredible compared to the gats on the lekker

Love it.

[surreal spear]

just got my 80 he and sometimes when im trying to change the rgb colors it disconnects then tries to reconnect. then it wont let me save any changes. anyone else have this issue or have an idea on how to fix it?

[celest portal]

Does anyone know why my P, O, and J keys might have failed? I unplugged and replugged it back in and it worked fine afterwards but I wanted to check if anyone knew what happened wto it so that I can avoid it failing again

[lapis galleon]

probably just a calibration issue. try not to touch any keys for a few seconds after plugging in the keyboard.

[celest portal]

Ah alright, thank you!

[lean pagoda]

Look at the letters left from the enter, I've got å ä and ö because I'm Swedish xd

It's the Nordic layout

Not yet..

[glass tusk]

Ok

I got the ghost case, but I want the white aluminum because it would look really clean

[indigo stratus]

i wanna get the ttc rgb ones befcause rgb

[low token]

They are making v2 due to issue

[glass tusk]

Oh ok

[spare kelp]

Just got my first Wooting and chose the 80HE. I want to order some custom key caps but don’t know the size or where(website) I should get them from. Can someone help me out?

[glass tusk]

I’m looking for the same thing

[indigo stratus]

a huge list of keyboard vendors, pretty much all of them sell keycaps https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[glass tusk]

I just want clean white keycaps, but all I see is just weird patterns

[indigo stratus]

wooting sells white keycaps

[glass tusk]

Yeah, but are there any good?

[indigo stratus]

what is your standard of "good"

[summer basin]

can someone send me a wooting keybind profile for black ops 6 / new warzone

[glass tusk]

I just thought people said they were a little on the cheap side

[lean pagoda]

idk I've never had a problem with it, from my perspective your enter looks weird xD

[gilded junco]

It’s all muscle memory

[summer basin]

what do u bind rappy snappy too, etc

[last solar]

tbh iso is prob better for typing but for gaming and looks its not even it close, ANSI ftw

[indigo stratus]

atp its just preference for keycap quality

there arent THAT many places that sell plain white keycaps

[gilded junco]

The ultimate white keycaps

[indigo stratus]

what about shine through

[lean pagoda]

idk I prefer ISO for both since I've spent my entire life on them. I get one extra key for keybinds on the left which is pretty nice

[indigo stratus]

iso 👎

mostyl because ive always used ansi and the enter button is wierd af

[lean pagoda]

I mean yeah that's what it boils down to xd

ANSI looks weird to me because we don't use it here

I guess some laptops do

idk

[gilded junco]

Slamming my finger down on the enter key for iso does go hard though

[lean pagoda]

you know

I lowkey want a keyboard that has a smaller spacebar and just more keys around it

[vocal pecan]

i'm satisfied with the 80he so far, idk how to test it extensively but i've been playing a few FPS games and i noticed the difference

kinda huge compared to my old keyboard with was a Linear Switches Logitech G915

[vocal pecan]

that does not sound bad tbh

[lean pagoda]

I was on the steelseries apex pro and I noticed the 0.1mm actuation on this feeling more like 0.1mm than on the apex pro xD

other than that it obviously just feels completely different to use

I thought I'd be horrible typing with it for a long time since I could barely type on my friends keychron but I can still hit like the 115-135 range semi consistently

[upbeat pumice]

This is the Anodized Gray option i'm guessing?

[indigo stratus]

are there any after market springs that are long

[gilded junco]

The ones in the Jade Pro

[lean pagoda]

btw do I have to be careful about what USB C cables I plug into the wooting 80he? I was curious if I could just connect the wooting to my ipad with the usb c charging cable that comes with the ipad

[indigo stratus]

not biying jade pros just for their springs

i wish i was baller like that

i quite like the ttc magneto switches

22mm long

i have a small switch tester and the only thing i hate about it is how loud it acn be

the ttc

[gentle geyser]

do you guys think the GT-80 case will work with the wooting 80HE?

[indigo stratus]

it has been specifically designed only for the 80he

would be a pretty shitty product if it didnt work with the thing it was designed for

which is actually a pretty funny thought tbh

[gentle geyser]

i'm new to keyboard modifying so was just wondering cause i've ordered my wooting 80he so i'm just looking around for things i could buy in the future

[gilded junco]

Personally I’d get it; gorgeous looking case

[indigo stratus]

i wouldnt, i like the translucense of frost

to each their own

[gilded junco]

Yeah big preference thing; personally I find all the stock cases ugly. The GT was the thing that convinced me to get the 80HE

[indigo stratus]

gt...

[gentle geyser]

i kinda like the anodized pine green

[gilded junco]

https://tenor.com/view/breno-bruhzil-brener-monkey-brenooo-gif-22109223

[open lichen]

it doesnt its not like a mouse as you aren't saturating the polls of a keyboard (u aren't doing 8k key presses a second) like u are with a mouse sensor

[leaden forge]

ah ok thank you

yeah just was asking cause 8k polling mouse causes terrible stutters for me and didnt want that to happen to me again

[lean pagoda]

8K polling on my mouse just makes the battery die too fast

1-2k is enough for me

Another day of telling you to keep an eye on #📦│batch_updates

[proper goblet]

how does one get their hands on a 80he?

cause it says its coming jan

[spring oar]

Buy and wait

[tight cypress]

3rd batch is coming in Jan

[proper goblet]

oooohhhh so it comes in batches

i see i see

[tight cypress]

Comes in batches until there's enough so it can be kept in stock at all times
Then batches come to resupply stock

[proper goblet]

I've had a MacroPad for a while and its nice and all but I was thinking of getting the 80he so i can reprogram the extra side buttons + arrow keys for what i need

[pulsar grotto]

if im buying anything from wooting again im never using fedex again

monday it is i guess

[versed quiver]

lets go dude

why are the artisan mouepads considered the best

the ones from this website https://www.artisan-jp.com/

[midnight iron]

the worse the website the better the mousepad

that's why artisan is so good

[pulsar grotto]

their material are just better thats it

[buoyant solstice]

Japan doesn't understand website design. They are genuinely stuck in a 90s time bubble.

[pulsar grotto]

well thank god they dont embed intrusive ads onto em

[buoyant solstice]

This is what Yahoo looks like today. They really stick with that classic newspaper look as hard as they can.

[north hamlet]

they dont sell any 90 x 40 cm mouespads

😭

[spring oar]

as expected, same day

[pulsar grotto]

dang it

[spring oar]

busy myself with Dynasty Warrior Origin demo, gameplay legit good

[pulsar grotto]

personally i just bought a good enough mousepad and use better skates and thats good enough for me since i dont play osu

[north hamlet]

my issue with the shipping aint even with wooting

my keyboard is passing through san francisco so now i have to pray to god that it even makes it here with the strike going on

almost all packages that pass through SF is basically gambling

my last package ( a literal lotion ) took 3 months

[pulsar grotto]

im just worried my 3rd party vendor holding my package for a long time

[north hamlet]

im not a pro player anyways.. im not sure why i would need that fr.

[pulsar grotto]

yea tbh mousepad are almost the same ngl unless u use glass

obv material quality may differ and bla bla bla

[north hamlet]

what are some good stores that sell nice keycap sets

higround is always out of sale...

[uneven nexus]

is there an estimated date on kbdfans for the gt 80 to be shipped out if you preorder it? i’m looking to buy it but i can’t find anything regarding it on their website

[pulsar grotto]

Nice looking or nice quality?

[north hamlet]

either or

[buoyant solstice]

Wouldn't expect April at the very earliest given what we know so far. But KBDfans hasn't given a date iirc?

[gilded junco]

They’ll announce the shipping date on November 30

It says at the bottom if I’m not wrong

[buoyant solstice]

[sacred crypt]

So because of those mini-batches its possible to get your keyboard earlier/later depending on the model you've ordered right?

[nova nexus]

Yes, more specific details will be made available over the next week or two

[sacred crypt]

okay thanks

[desert parcel]

When is the estimate for fulfillment of eu walvis

thank you though i appreciate it

[gilded junco]

yeee hopefully it’ll be good news on the 30th

[desert parcel]

Guys some people had their delivery dates changed for eu walvis why did mine not change

[nova nexus]

Did you... read the batch updates I just pointed you to?

[desert parcel]

Yes but i didn’t understand if u can just explain that point to me

[tight swallow]

Read it again? But dont skim over it

[desert parcel]

So the reallocation started and i have to wait through two weeks

Thanks

[pulsar grotto]

Does ur local mall have a hobbyist shop for those ? Usually i just search local

[teal wave]

yo guys i need some opinions

pudding or these non shine through sublimation keycaps

( i know it looks a bit bad with a few missing keys xD)

[marble lily]

Anyone here who has both the metal and PCR case? I ordered mine with PCR as I am a big polycarbonate fan but the 80he PCR case feels incredibly low quality. Does the zinc case show a decent amount of the RGB (considering I went with PCR frost the entire keyboard gets lit up) and was it worth the extra money?

[buoyant solstice]

Exactly the same amount of RGB.

[coral bloom]

none shine through

[coral bloom]

would rather recommend this https://kbdfans.com/collections/gt-80

looks way higher quality

[marble lily]

wait there's already third party cases being made? 😄

[coral bloom]

its preorder

[hybrid birch]

is there a reason why the next batch (4) will only be available in march?

[coral bloom]

like brass trough weight, cnc alu and ballcatch system

[coral bloom]

chinese new year

[hybrid birch]

oh right

[coral bloom]

i ordered the black one without the front badge

[marble lily]

I guess it would be cope to wait on a proper PC case... Like PC can be premium feeling as hell its just the 80HE
PCR that is low quality :/

[coral bloom]

yup i agree that case is trash quality

most cheap feeling case on any keyboard i had in a long while. might be cause im usually into customs

[marble lily]

yeah same, I knew that it wouldnt be similar to my mode envoy or my two norbauer PC cases... I expected more though

[coral bloom]

the zinc one honestly does not look that much better

its seems to scuff very easy

[coral bloom]

even my bauer lite feels way more premium

and its injection molded PC

[marble lily]

exactly that's the point and the bauer lite is low cost injection mold

[coral bloom]

still my fav board out of the ones i own

like what wooting does great is software the hardware is a bit less impressive

[marble lily]

I was pleasantly surprised by the default stabs though, but yeah I bought for software as well

[coral bloom]

nothing that u can't fix with new switches and caps + case

[coral bloom]

uhm yeah my stabs where horrible

changed them for staebies

guess u where lucky

[marble lily]

oh, hmm interesting. Yeah mine are decent, feels decent and doesn't really rattle. I've got a set of TX AP stabs here though. Just need to bandaid mod them first 😬

[coral bloom]

?

bandaid mod tx stabs? i really hope for my sanities sake that u don't mean hollee mod

[marble lily]

why would you not mod the tx stabs?

[coral bloom]

cause tx just needs lube?

u don't even need to balance the wire and holee mod is the worst that u can do to ur stabs it just make a mushy mess.

especially on TX Stabs

the tolerances are so tight that u don't need to do anything other then lube. Oh and only use 205g0 dielectric grease makes them tick

[marble lily]

hmm, I don't know. I feel like holee mod may just be preference I have two sets though so I could always mod one and leave the other stock to test.

[carmine pulsar]

only hopefully 4 more days until shipment starts

[winter nebula]

PCR as I am a big polycarbonate fan
The PC in PCR does not stand for polycarbonate. Post Consumer Recycled.

[marble lily]

I discovered that it stands for Pretty Crappy, Right?

[winter nebula]

Ooh savage boy

🔪 🩸

[marble lily]

I'm huffing copium already trying to find actual decent PC case preorder

[winter nebula]

The only 3rd party case for the 80HE that I'm aware of that's even been announced is aluminium.

[marble lily]

Yeah it may be too early. PC isn't he most popular choice for sure

[coral bloom]

ah nice cnc PC case really would be nice

[tight swallow]

would probably go quicker if they finally released the design files

[coral bloom]

i thought wooting was doing that

[tight swallow]

yes, but it is taking them quite a while 😄

probably low priority, which is reasonable

[wet peak]

my lekker switches on my 80he doesent wanna come off when i use the switch puller

if i use too much force will it then break?

[coral bloom]

thats cause they use way more plastic hooks then normal mx switches. i also had issue getting them out

just wiggle and be carefull

and i would highly recommend that u use the included puller

[wet peak]

i do

but im scared to use to much force and will break them

[coral bloom]

i needed to pull fairly hard

gets easier with time

[verbal solar]

did you unscrew the pcb

[wet peak]

no just puller

[verbal solar]

when i replaced my switches on the 80he i took everything apart including taking the pcb off since wooting recommend it, and it was super easy

[verbal solar]

https://youtu.be/-KtpE1mv23s?si=NQRcBt7NuyONo75g

[wet peak]

i did that

but they wont come off

[lime falcon]

you need to wiggle the switch and pull it out

[verbal solar]

make sure you’ve depressed the clasp on both sides then wiggle back and forth whilst pulling up

[naive wasp]

Any other Third Party Cases? This looks sweet so far

[lime falcon]

not yet

[coral bloom]

this is the only one ik off

but i bet there are gonna be a bunch soonish

[lime falcon]

yep

but gt80 is so nice

[coral bloom]

yeah

has kinda everything i wanted

[lime falcon]

I plan to get white version

[coral bloom]

including ballcatch system and a brass through weight

i orderered the black one. its gonna be paired with gmk 80082 and geon raws HE

[safe mica]

woke up this morning and my rpgs set for my profile just stopped working

[naive wasp]

I dislike the Lines tho, and the LED Bar to the edge 'cuz it cuts off

But overall looks nice still

[lime falcon]

black is so nice too, with golden strap buckle

did you order with or without metal badge

[coral bloom]

without

looks very tacky to me

i dont even want the light bar

or any rgb for that matter

[lime falcon]

lightbar will look nice on white case

[coral bloom]

what keycaps are u planning for urs?

[lime falcon]

Ill just get wooting white keycaps

[soft cave]

Guys is there anything important that isnt talked abt much on the wooting80he just ordered it

[lime falcon]

No, its a great keyboard youll enjoy it

[winter nebula]

I haven't heard anybody talking about it smelling like Hot Cocoa on a cold winter's day

[spring oar]

mmm, 18 hours left

minus sleep, it'll be 10

[lean pagoda]

yeah, the software is way better than expected

[fallow geyser]

this date keeps moving up

im in wooting purgatory

[hearty elbow]

Hello everyone... i need valorant settings for 80he. dont know how to configure

[plain aurora]

it's more durable than a non hall effect kb because the switches have no contacts that wear out

idk i dont see enough ppl bringing up basic non gaming related benefits of contactless switches

[gritty perch]

any news on when the white zinc case is available?

[buoyant solstice]

Nothing beyond the recent post in #📦│batch_updates

[gritty perch]

should I wait for it or just go ahead to receive my black one?

[distant monolith]

How could anyone possibly know what you want?

[winter nebula]

I think people just want to be told what to do.
You should wait for it.

[north sierra]

hey

[winter nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-gif-5545306308765291118

[azure garnet]

Literally time flies! can't wait for it to arrive 😄

[winter nebula]

Literally figuratively. Nice!

[snow canyon]

Maybe this week they will get shipped out

[azure garnet]

hopefully bro!

[carmine pulsar]

me neither

White zinc gang

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-dog-monkey-sip-monkey-drink-kombatmelon-gif-5023764078297731928

[molten lance]

my switches, stabs, keycaps have all been sitting here for like 2 months now, white zinc is worth the wait tho surely

[snow canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-monkey-dddd-gif-16453062350115083247

[gritty perch]

howwww?

[mystic zenith]

1 of my 80he profiles keeps glitching out after like 10 mins of using it, it just randomly starts moving in one direction and then the rest of the keys just don't work anymore. Any ways to fix this?

[jagged dune]

Is Wooting sitting o0n a ton of white zinc v1 cases right now?

[azure garnet]

wym how

[snow canyon]

Just enough for those who ordered and some replacements if anything were to happen I bet

[distant monolith]

They said that the amount of money they will give away if people chose to keep the V1 was on the 6 figures

so yeah...

[ruby schooner]

Yessir!

Still hoping for a before Xmas release date 🙏

[ruby schooner]

All preference really

[coarse crest]

I have a feeling it’ll be Dec 7-10 for our magical day

Just in time for POE 2 early access

[gritty perch]

anyone passing their 80he white? :((

[winter nebula]

Yes.

[low token]

How much money do you have

[distant monolith]

What kind of question is that xD

[chrome forge]

Is SOCD/Rappy snappy a real must in valorant ?

[polar stirrup]

Nothing is a must

[midnight iron]

Not a must but it’s a nice freebie for cleaning up your input a little

[chrome forge]

i see

[midnight iron]

It’s not a major difference in valorant as much as CS, but it’s still a small improvement

[winter nebula]

I got $10 on my desk right now. Feeling flush.

[lean pagoda]

rapid trigger you instantly notice, if you've got good mechanics idk about SOCD, it just kinda makes it moreflawless (impression after 1-2 days of using it)

[chrome forge]

thx i'll test that in the game

[mossy ocean]

I think the update vid on white v2 would drop in the following upcoming week then, as it didnt happen last one

[unique river]

Just Bought my first wooting (80he Raw Zinc) the other day. It's my first try at building a keyboard and am looking to get Geon Raw HE switches - does anyone know where I can get them without the crazy shipping fee? Geons website is $30 buit KBDFans has some for Black friday and shipping is only $20 for U.S so may just go with that? Also any additional modding tips and tricks would be amazing!

[buoyant solstice]

#🔧│keyboard_modding and #🪛│modding_faq to the rescue

[lime falcon]

divinekey

[ruby schooner]

Bro I really hope so!

[unique river]

Thank you very much!

[ruby schooner]

I’m sorry but what is that abbreviated for?

[ruby schooner]

Nope, sticking with V2 white zinc

[verbal solar]

There's profiles you can find inside of the #🌈│wootabase_profiles

They have optimized settings for various games (including valorant) :)

[tribal scroll]

Path of Exile 2

[ruby schooner]

Ohh looks like a diablo look alike

[red heart]

[tribal scroll]

btw did the white zinc units land in the US fulfillment center?

Last update said it was estimated for the 23rd

[red heart]

thats what the diablo 4 game director said on twitter when he saw how good the reveal was and was salty that other companies do it better than them

[tribal scroll]

Blizzard went down the drain a decade ago

[red heart]

"However, I expect this date to slip into the following week - we're deep into peak season and Black Friday is right around the corner: every step of the logistics process is at or above capacity. "

from the last batch update

[tribal scroll]

delays from everything

[coarse crest]

Path of Exile 2 - ARPG game

[tribal scroll]

I preordered a Pwnage Stormbreaker Max carbon fiber and it's been delayed several times too

[coarse crest]

Which one did you get

[tribal scroll]

the Whzy version

[coarse crest]

I got the nacho purple one so we’re prob gonna be waiting til 12/5 🥲

[tribal scroll]

yeah I just saw the update from Lemonade

oh well, that's just how things always are

The Nacho one looks pretty nice too

[coarse crest]

D4 is so cooked

[coarse crest]

It matches my purple cable now

[tribal scroll]

I wish they had a pure white one but it's probably hard to deal with the matte coating

[coarse crest]

Twilight purple is 🔥

[tribal scroll]

it's gonna turn yellow like FM

[coarse crest]

Closest is the frost fire

[tribal scroll]

Yep and they cancelled/delayed that colorway

Hoping white zinc enjoyers can be happy before xmas break

[little moon]

what a glorious day

[coarse crest]

Hopefully the carbon fiber feels similar/better than the Viper V3

[glacial wedge]

I don't know man, the white zinc enjoyers are gonna get it and then after 1 day

they'll be like "huh... al this wait for this nice"

[little moon]

ordered in july 😂

[glacial wedge]

that's how I feel with my keyboard. It's awesome but it's like.... it's a keyboard

I love it tho and how good it sounds

[tidal sleet]

Ordered in may😂

[little moon]

urs still not come?

has it started shipping yet? 😦

[tidal sleet]

Started, but I don't live in Europe so it takes a good month for shipping

Especially economy shipping

[little moon]

ya im australia hoping it's not too long

[tribal scroll]

seems to have a good reception from the people who got the black ones this past week

[little moon]

got my tracking today hoping to have it by 10th of dec

hopeful 3 weeks

[tidal sleet]

What even is ur batch

[little moon]

idk eu brug

[tidal sleet]

That's far as hell

[tribal scroll]

lol maybe. I've just been waiting forever to try an HE board, I've only done custom mech in the past

[little moon]

i think these zinc alloy cases are the last to be shipped

[tidal sleet]

Me too bro

Like mines 12 of december

[little moon]

r u in aus too

[tidal sleet]

Nah

[little moon]

i see

ya i dont have official date on my tracking yet

needs another day to get the estimate i guess

[verbal solar]

new keycaps for my new wooting 80he

[little moon]

i have no idea what that audio is

[carmine pulsar]

i have the same on my old keyboad xd

[verbal solar]

movie

[tribal scroll]

love the lotus design, but the font looks a little hard to read

[tidal sleet]

I have the tracker but it gives me no estimate, I checked the global parcel thing and it said 12 of december, mine actually got shipped to me on the 13 of november

[tribal scroll]

I'm gonna try out the stock white key caps for a few weeks but I'm probably gonna reuse my MT3 caps in the long term

[civic cradle]

keyboard came defective

[little moon]

damn thats wild

[low token]

Unlucky

[slate rose]

I have a theory, batch 2 is secretly batch 847282

[noble plinth]

forgive me asking whats probs a repeat question, but do the other colour options be restocked with the new batches? Noticed only black and grey PCR available for preorder now, not kept track to see if its just per batch

[lapis galleon]

white zinc had issues with its coating so a fixed second batch is on its way

[jade widget]

Frost only comes with the module version

[raven delta]

At least you got a tracking number, where is my tracking number? lol

[lapis galleon]

hence why it’s missing from the ordering menu

raw and frost are only available with the module

[viscid cedar]

where is the option for on key press effect? iowant the wafe rgb base but when i click a key io want a certain color

[tidal sleet]

Ig, but it is what it is

[atomic brook]

trail

[dawn pagoda]

got to say, the folks at wooting thought of everything. I am using this for both gaming and regular keyboard. I transitioned from apple's magic kb and love how out of the box it maps function keys to common controls such as volume down (fn + prt sc) and up (fn + pause). I thought I was going to need secondary utility or additional config, but discovered in wootility app that its already mapped 🙂

kind of want to get custom key caps that provide the visual mapping tho

[tribal scroll]

I'm always impressed when Apple users finally try something outside of Apple products and discover how customizable things are. Glad you're trying different things

[coral patrol]

What's wrong with it

[civic cradle]

after a few hours, it suddenly shut off and i could not figure out how to fix it. I changed wires and used different PCs but it wont turn on

[coral patrol]

Oh wow, damn make sure you contact support about it, unlucky.

[civic cradle]

I emailed them 4 days ago. looks like theyre busy right now

[coral bloom]

open it up and replug the jst cable

[civic cradle]

ill need to buy a screwdriver that fits, but ill try it when i can

[austere python]

yooo these are fire

[worldly pebble]

some ones i ordered nice :V

lemme get a video with that blue inverted ripple?

[wicked dagger]

U

[fathom helm]

[sharp jay]

Just received my Tracking and Shipping info for a EU/Brug Black Zinc Ansi

[dense ridge]

[red heart]
