🌟│wooting80he

[pine violet]

just FY if anyone ordering in India, i did not had to pay any custom for 80HE

[buoyant solstice]

You'll still have to pay taxes though.

[pine violet]

that was already included when i ordered

[buoyant solstice]

No it was not.

[pine violet]

i did not paid a single penny extra

apart from my ordered amount

[buoyant solstice]

Consider yourself a lucky rarity - not the norm 😛

[broken spruce]

It seems to be included in the payment here @buoyant solstice

[pine violet]

yes, i was expecting that i will need to pay custom charges

[buoyant solstice]

As our checkout clearly states this has nothing to do with us. Indian orders do not include taxes or import duties.

[pine violet]

it was showing same to me but did not get charged anything

and they delivered directly

[buoyant solstice]

Like I said - You got lucky. You should not expect that to happen in general.

[pine violet]

few people said same thing as well that they did not get charged and some said there will be charges so not sure how it works

[frail dome]

Getting mine tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉

[buoyant solstice]

If you want to give people false hope, don't let me stop you. But as actual Wooting CS staff who deals with issues like this on a daily basis - Indian customers (like any country) should expect to pay sales taxes on purchases at one point or other.

Your order slipped through - it is not the norm. It is a sign of overworked customs agents who skip some packages at random.

[fathom helm]

hoping my 80he gets shipped out tmrw 🙏 (it probably won't)

[north egret]

Correct. It’s 44-77% of CIF Value for us.

[thin summit]

same :(

[fathom helm]

it's been 8 months im going crazy

[thin summit]

6 months for me

[fathom helm]

[frail dome]

Where you live

[fathom helm]

clearly wooting doesn't care ab date orders

uk

[sweet prism]

its in batches it looks like

[frail dome]

Yh I live in Netherlands

[fathom helm]

ur probably 3rd batch

[fathom helm]

won't get it soon ig

[thin summit]

location doesnt matter

i live half an h our away from the warehouse

[fathom helm]

[frail dome]

Just making sure he didn’t live in flipping America

[violet basalt]

i do lol

[sweet prism]

i might have to cancel it until later anyways my boss said our pay is being cut the day after i did this xd

[frail dome]

W love America

[violet basalt]

WWWW

[fathom helm]

should've gone with the made68 ultra tbh

or the iquinix ez63

[sweet prism]

is that the alibaba one

[fathom helm]

wouldn't of taken so long

[thin summit]

im a patient person but this is kinda starting to piss me off

[fathom helm]

i think ur thinking of the mad68

[fathom helm]

frr, don't know why it takes so long

i was meant to get mine in august

[sweet prism]

yeah ur right lmao i didnt realize it was a letter off

[fathom helm]

😭

[sweet prism]

zamn 60 dollar HE rapid trigger surely this has some worth using

assuming it doesn't crumble into dust I think

[fathom helm]

its probably e waste with horrible software

[fathom helm]

its this one

or could've gotten this one

wouldn't of had to wait 8 months

[sweet prism]

iquinix looks really chunky to me but it does the same job

[fathom helm]

it's not too chucky once u see it in person

[mellow current]

When does the tracking link update

[low token]

Have you seen owlab collab?

[sweet prism]

nope

[brazen jasper]

@low token how long did it take to get the 80he?

[low token]

Why do you ask

[brazen jasper]

just wondering

mine just shipped

via dhl

[low token]

Like 4days max?

[brazen jasper]

okay thanks

[low token]

https://youtu.be/sqcwJ0pBOrg?si=5v64qq0tGdt9SFJF

[sweet prism]

chunky ass sides, but honestly not too bad, that front slab is kinda neat

[low token]

It is modified 60he case

[buoyant solstice]

They basically took the stock ABS shell and made it metal.

(And then went ham from there 😄 )

[worn compass]

How much layers of painters tape can I add to the 80he? Lmao

[winter nebula]

Depends on the thickness of your tape and how willing you are to go absolutely nuts.

[wise ridge]

Is the gateron jade switches better for gaming than the Lekker L45s?

[red heart]

huh different case colors come in different packaging and travel case

thats cool

[winter nebula]

IMO no. I use lekkers for gaming on my 60HE and Jade Pros on my 80HE (even though I could put them in both). But it is a matter of personal opinion.

[wise ridge]

Do the jade pros have any advantage over them? Like accuation force or overall quality?

[winter nebula]

What is "them", Jade OGs or Lekker?

[worn compass]

Alright

[wise ridge]

Lekker 45s

[winter nebula]

They're very different from Lekkers. Travel distance is 3.5mm instead of lekker 4mm, closed bottom housing, longer spring... very different.

[winter nebula]

You're about to go absolutely nuts, aren't you?

[wise ridge]

So is it worth to pay more for them?

[worn compass]

Perhaps

[winter nebula]

I prefer both Jade and Jade pros for typing/multipurpose, personally. For just gaming I like the Lekkers.

[wise ridge]

Alright

[winter nebula]

I also find the Geon RAWs to be more like the Lekkers in feel than the Jades

[worn compass]

I was thinking 10 layers if I have enough lmao
Gonna see how thick 5 is first

[winter nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/intergalactic-quality-intergalactic-intergalactic-back-to-the-future-back-to-the-future-great-scot-gif-26804322

Make sure you take a recording before and after!

[worn compass]

Sure

[worldly pebble]

wow that looks

[desert parcel]

Is the eu walvis fulfillment starting next week?

[pulsar grotto]

I personally prefer jade pro cus they need lower force to activate

[lime aspen]

Could always just spring swap

[winter nebula]

Aren't both L45 and Jade/Pro 30g initial?

[pulsar grotto]

Idk the jade always felt smoother for me

Prob personal preference thing

[winter nebula]

Definitely agree that the Jades feel smoother

[pulsar grotto]

Oh actually jade pro need more force?

[winter nebula]

Oh yeah look at that, 36g initial on on the pros

[pulsar grotto]

Dafaq

[candid basalt]

Finally got mine

Roday

[pulsar grotto]

No as in dafaq is that wire

[candid basalt]

Today

[winter nebula]

Life support system

Or headphones

[candid basalt]

Headphone

[winter nebula]

That poor cast aside 60HE 😿

[short geyser]

Same as me, I think so

[icy flame]

Anyone know of where to get a dust cover for the 80HE?

[pulsar grotto]

Didnt they free u one

[lime aspen]

The 60he had one included in the box

Does the 80 not?

[icy flame]

I got the zinc one so no

[winter nebula]

Zinc doesn't get it.

[lime aspen]

Ah

[icy flame]

Kinda silly

[short geyser]

I heard that only the us ansi ones get it

[winter nebula]

And the answer is they don't sell it, so there's no real official solution other than getting one custom sized from... somewhere

[buoyant solstice]

What's silly is expecting a plastic cover, when you get a nice travel case to keep it in.

[icy flame]

I’m not travelling with it in my house

🤣

[winter nebula]

Disagree. I don't particularly care myself, but the travel case isn't a replacment for a dust cover if someone would use the latter.

[short geyser]

Having both is better

[brisk ruin]

nah, the difference is only if you get yours in a travel case

[buoyant solstice]

Nor is the cover sold as a dust cover. It is there to protect the switches and keycaps during shipping. The fact that it doubles as a dust cover was always a happy accident.

[lime aspen]

Ah yes let's put my keyboard in a travel case on my desk so it doesn't get dusty

[winter nebula]

It would require you to unplug and move your keyboard between sessions instead of just laying the cover down over it.

[short geyser]

Oh, I ordered mine with travel case so would I get it, I ordered ghost pcr

[buoyant solstice]

You know you can just open the case and lay it on top of the keyboard right? A dust - cover 😄

[icy flame]

Yeah I’m not doing that either

[winter nebula]

Not to mention that the people that don't have it have zinc cases, so that's like asking them to lift a boulder.

[buoyant solstice]

[fathom lagoon]

does anybody know when we get infos on eu walvis fulfillments?

[winter nebula]

Well, yes, that is true.

[short geyser]

I was thinking of saying the same, but it’s funny to even think

[icy flame]

A £300 keyboard should come with a dust cover

I shouldn’t need to use my travel case as a make shift one

[winter nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-yoda-tries-very-hard-reaching-star-wars-gif-17314555

[short geyser]

Either this week end or next week probs

[buoyant solstice]

It isn't sold with one, so it's odd to expect it to magically have one. That's all I'm saying.

[fathom lagoon]

cheers brother

[winter nebula]

It was a surprise to many.

[short geyser]

I am walvis too so waiting for their message

[icy flame]

Non zinc ones got something that accidentally works as one

And it’s £300

I’m paying for premium

[buoyant solstice]

Then I shall happily link them to the product page once more 😄

[fathom lagoon]

i hope it'll arrive b4 christmas since its a present

[winter nebula]

Not sure it's an accident, it literally has "dust cover" embossed in it.

[short geyser]

Just make sure to have no clutters

[buoyant solstice]

We did that as a funny reference because people were using the 60HE plastic cover as one for so long.

[winter nebula]

Ha, well, "oops"

[short geyser]

Let’s hope so

[worn compass]

Yeah im gonna hold off for a bit I cant find a small enough screwdriver, too lazy to look for one tbh 😅

[buoyant solstice]

But - At the end of the day if you want a dust cover for your 80HE, there are folks making custom fit ones (and I think a few folks here who are actively looking to order any)

[winter nebula]

All those plans thwarted 🙂

[worn compass]

Yes lmao

[winter nebula]

Yeah I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill here. You can also use a bandana as a dustcover or something.

[buoyant solstice]

Indeed. I have used kitchen towels on many occasions 😄

[short geyser]

Or kitchen roll

[icy flame]

Just gonna place a tea towel over it until I can get a 3rd party one 🤣

[worn compass]

Oh well, some other day

[floral badger]

Now y'all have me looking at keeb dust covers

[buoyant solstice]

You're welcome. Don't forget to lock your wallet away before talking on a keyboard discord. 😄

[winter nebula]

^ That is sage advice.

[stable ravine]

so close...

[desert parcel]

When did u order the keyboard

[stable ravine]

AHHH IT SAID EXPECTED BY END OF DAY AND JUST UPDATED TO TOMORROW ADSFASDAs

[winter nebula]

What a rollercoaster of emotions

[floral badger]

[short geyser]

26th Oct, if my memory serves right, but I ordered pcr ghost, keycaps and the travel case as I thought it would be nice to have something to carry the keyboard with, will probably get delayed just because of the case

[red heart]

Should have told me that a few months ago

[buoyant solstice]

Do as I say, not as I do.

[desert parcel]

I ordered on oct 31 and i ordered pcr ghost also and on website the estimate is dec 25- jan 9

[red heart]

I‘m back on my expensive hobby shit

[short geyser]

Same estimate for everyone in walvis, I think so

[red heart]

I blame this discord server

[desert parcel]

Some people ordered the 80he last week and received it

[short geyser]

I don’t think so

[short geyser]

Probably because they are from Netherlands?

[verbal solar]

Better lighting?

I wanted the keycaps to match his outfit/aesthetic

[short geyser]

Yeah, but never did I expect 100 to be so bright, can’t wait to get my hands on it

[verbal solar]

It's VERY bright

(I'm on tachyon mode when i took that)

[desert parcel]

Probably

[verbal solar]

👀

[short geyser]

I like the color you used, what’s that artisan though

[verbal solar]

Best RGB i've seen in a keyboard

[short geyser]

Ohh

[winter nebula]

Painful, from the look of it

[short geyser]

I am pretty sure they are not gonna go back on their first come first serve policy, I have a bit of trust from watching their videos and everything

[verbal solar]

Here's the artisan

They sell 4

[short geyser]

Figured, which website?

[main dock]

Would a 480hz OLED monitor be a good combo along with the Wooting 80HE SOCD rapid trigger?

[verbal solar]

No clue but the company is ArtLemi

[short geyser]

A bit

[verbal solar]

I got them from the Shop App

[short geyser]

That’s not a question you need to ask

[coarse crest]

480hz 1440p is nice, make sure you have a decently strong GPU to support it but should be a great monitor option

[short geyser]

Alright, I will look for one piece ones

[main dock]

I’m on RTX 4090 right now. Gonna upgrade to a 5090 next year

[short geyser]

Can we see your pc?

[coarse crest]

That’s lit, yeah get dat shit. Try to grab whatever is still on discount

I’m rocking a Strix 4090 on my PG32UCDM 🤩

[short geyser]

I don’t think he would think about a discount

[coarse crest]

OLED has had some crazy discounts for Black Friday

[verbal solar]

I'd upgrade my rig but my power supply wouldn't handle it

[short geyser]

Nice setup, like the secret labs table

[main dock]

I got 1000w titanium psu. Thinking about getting a 1200w psu in the future.

[sudden canyon]

Did we get any updates on the white zinc* v2?

[verbal solar]

I think i got a 650w

[main dock]

We got the same monitor 😄

[short geyser]

Not yet

[verbal solar]

Man. What do you do for a living?

[coarse crest]

It’s a real beauty. It’s almost too big, but it packs a punch fr

[verbal solar]

Sounds like you're living the life

[broken spruce]

Hey I found a cool keycaps layout but they dont have the letters and numbers on it, do you guys reckon this will be confusing?

[winter nebula]

Depends on whether you can touch type.

[main dock]

I work in a dairy 🐮

[broken spruce]

What's touch type?

[verbal solar]

Oh sweet. They must pay well.

[broken spruce]

As in not look at my keyboard while typing?

[winter nebula]

Type without having to look at the keyboard

[buoyant solstice]

One way to find out. For the next 24 hours make a conscious effort to not look down at your keyboard and, and see if you can type solely by memory and using the F and J keys as guides (the little bumps are there for a reason)

[main dock]

Yeah. My biggest issue is the 32” size 😅 . 27” is more like the sweet spot for a desktop imo

[broken spruce]

I never look at my keyboard so that is fine however I code/program and I feel like sometimes I might need to use weird charachters like ~ or ` which might be hard to locate

[winter nebula]

You'd be surprised what years of work and frugality can also accomplish. Not saying they don't earn a decent living.

[floral badger]

I have the pg32ucdp and I agree 32" way big

Been using 27" for years as well.

[white dock]

nothing serious, the wire from the spacebar isnt straight and it was super rattly, had a lil scratch on the case and some dirt specs on the inside of the led bar and they just told me they would just send a new one

[coarse crest]

I think 32” with the appropriate viewing distance is fine, but takes some time to get used to. 4k 240hz is wild to have this early tho

It does give you the option for a simulated 27” or 24.5” as well

[floral badger]

Yeah the simulated resolution on os are weird numbers tho

That and I use VRR so I don't have access to it unless I turn it off

[main dock]

I’m playing a lot of Overwatch right now. So I would want to swap between a fast 480hz pled 1440p and a 4K 240hz for slower paced games

[floral badger]

4k240 for my single player games and the 1080p480 for my sweaty games

[jade saddle]

Another day, another delay
: - Calder didn't say that

[tribal scroll]

Just plugged in my white zinc and it's amazing

[oblique yacht]

hello

[winter nebula]

240hz

slower paced

😆

[oblique yacht]

i just ordered

it says in warehouse on 19 december that means after 19 dec i should expect?

[ancient violet]

You can expect it in January then

[oblique yacht]

i am cooked

[tribal scroll]

both white zinc units had no paint issues, but both did have a few speckles of overspray. mine had a few little paint dents and wife's has no dents

[main dock]

I guess it's all depening on the user 😛 . But there are not many single player games you'll be able to experience a locked 240fps without DLSS and lowering graphics settings right now.

[fathom helm]

same

[winter nebula]

Sure, I guess I'm just old though. I also play a lot of OW and cap out my 165hz monitor, but I also don't think I could tell the difference between 120hz and 165hz. Never tried anything > 165hz.

[main dock]

Optimum Tech made a video about 480hz vs 240hz. The difference between the two are noticeable apperantly. Your gaming experience will simply feel much snappier (HAHAHAHA )

[coarse crest]

You won’t get a full 240 hz on 4k without a 5090, but the added smoothness is a big W even if it is still in its infancy. 80-100 fps >> a stuttery 50-60 fps

[tribal scroll]

I thought there's not much difference after 144hz until you hit the 400-500hz territory

[winter nebula]

For competitive games like OW2 I don't think that is true. They don't push systems too hard.

[sturdy bramble]

Yo i have a problem with my order mods can you dm me

[coarse crest]

Mostly diminishing returns past 144 hz

[jade saddle]

maybe no

the more you expect the later it'll come

[winter nebula]

Yeah I dunno, the difference between 240hz and 480hz is 2ms. My meat hardware isn't capable of making much leverage off that, I'm afraid.

[lime aspen]

Motion clarity is what really matters

[coarse crest]

Depends on the game, I can get it in R6 and valorant, but most other demanding games you’re going to be hard pressed to get the same frames

[lime aspen]

That's the only benefit from 144 to 240 I care about

And the difference is night and day

[tribal scroll]

might upgrade next year since there aren't any 38" ultrawide equivalents in the OLED space yet

[winter nebula]

I'm not saying there's no difference, and yeah maybe the motion clarity makes the majority of the difference, but the motion clarity on my OLED 165hz is pretty solid 🤷

[tribal scroll]

my 3080ti is starting to feel a little old too for some single player games but it's still kicking ass for apex

[lime aspen]

I'm hoping to go 240hz OLED in 2025

Although I won't be reaching 240@1440 in 90% of games I play

[valid comet]

WOOTMAS

[tribal scroll]

Quick shot of my new white zinc next to my SHIFT

[versed mirage]

I’d hold off on doing anything currently as all psu’s kinda spiked in price within the last few months. Some went up 122%

[tribal scroll]

btw which version of the webapp do I use?

[buoyant solstice]

V5 always V5

[tribal scroll]

there's the beta ones for the 8K polling issue, do I try those out or only if I experience the freezes?

[buoyant solstice]

That's FIRMWARE, not the version of Wootility.

[tribal scroll]

ah

[buoyant solstice]

[tribal scroll]

I'm EN, no reading comprehension it seems

[buoyant solstice]

beta 2 unless you're having issues. Then the 8K polling build might be beneficial.

[tribal scroll]

gotcha, thanks

got the firmware update to beta.2

[upbeat notch]

oled is better than living dude

[lime aspen]

So god damn expensive though

[winter nebula]

Living is expensive, yeah.

[upbeat notch]

true

[pallid perch]

worth it tho

[tribal scroll]

OLED is amazing but it's not life changing like how some people make it out to be

[naive depot]

Man fuck UPS, It said it was finna be here today but its still halfway accross the US

[lime aspen]

I disagree

[tribal scroll]

unless they are coming from some budget TN panel from 10 years ago

[coarse crest]

Just cop it next Black Friday, you’ll save like $300-400 off some models

[lime aspen]

OLED is insane

[upbeat notch]

and 1k to 8k mouse is under 1ms, but thats not it. it feels a lot better

[upbeat notch]

but: 800usd

[tribal scroll]

I've had OLED tvs since years ago

[pallid perch]

playing games on it is something different

almost vr like imo

[tribal scroll]

LG C1 so 4k 120hz but it's still the same tech as current gen 1/gen 2 OLEDS for monitors

[upbeat notch]

OLED is even faster than TN and looks way better than IPS

imagine OLED 4k 360hz

[upbeat notch]

i would cry

just too beautifull

[austere pike]

i thought ips was best for gaming no?

[upbeat notch]

hell nah

[tribal scroll]

it depends, but OLED is just insanely fast

[upbeat notch]

its the opposite, for competitive gaming tn is better

but looks like poop

[tribal scroll]

IPS can still hit higher brightness levels but you don't want to run that high anyway

[austere pike]

what’s the best cheapest 27inch flat 2k 240hz oled monitor ?? cause my 240hz 2k ips monitor was 450 aud

does oled still look good tho?

[upbeat notch]

if ips= 450usd, that oled could be 1k

[upbeat notch]

better than ips

[austere pike]

no no aud

[upbeat notch]

oled is literally perfect

no cons

but MY WALLET

[austere pike]

my monitor is worth 291$ usd

[tribal scroll]

If you have a Nano IPS panel, OLED doesn't look that much better unless you're into HDR gaming

[austere pike]

450 aussie dollars

[tribal scroll]

then the black blacks really come to life

[upbeat notch]

thats why i dont even think abt them, it hurts

[austere pike]

wtf is a nano ips ???

[orchid bear]

oled does have superior response time though.

[upbeat notch]

yes

[tribal scroll]

nano ips are the latest gen IPS panels from around 2020

[hybrid panther]

@austere pike $850

[tribal scroll]

usually if you have an IPS panel that runs 144-240hz from the last 4 years or so it should have nano IPS

[hybrid panther]

twas saving for this for my birthday next year. My 34wqc died on me today. Had to go for another monitor for now 😢

[jagged dagger]

i would recommend getting a different monitor i have the 360 hz version and it has a lot of latency issues if you cant run a stable 240-360 hz

[barren yew]

what type of screwdriver would work for the 80he screws?

idk what to tell the hardware store

[hybrid panther]

get a better pc type shit

[upbeat notch]

just imagine it, alienware, 32 inches, 4k, OLED 0.03ms, adaptative sync and 240hz

[hybrid panther]

if you’re spending that much on your monitor your pc should be running 240fps

[jagged dagger]

i have a good pc

[upbeat notch]

my brain cant process something that beautifull

[jagged dagger]

i was just letting you know

[tribal scroll]

needs a PH1 (phillips + type)

[upbeat notch]

with new 5090 runing the 240hz at 4k

i wanna cry

[main dock]

I love that black actually look like black 🖤 . Not grey xD. And you can actually enable HDR and enjoy it for games on PC.

[pallid perch]

subnautica was a horror to play with an oled, especialy when its night in game

[barren yew]

what size fits in the sockets for the keyboard tho

[jaunty sapphire]

I can't wrap my head arround buying a TN panel display in 2024. Most of the complaints about games not being saturated enough boils down to display type. Competitive advantage is overrated when you don't compete for money and games look like shit

[tribal scroll]

yeah HDR gaming on OLED is amazing

[jagged dagger]

i agree

[upbeat notch]

there are 4k 240hz oled and QD-OLEZ 1440p 360hz. not any qd-oled 4k 360hz yet

[tribal scroll]

I'm not sure, just has to be long and thin like the Ifixit screwdrivers

as long as it's a precision type of screw driver for PCs or tech it should work

i got it a few days ago however i’ll try find the link but i kinda want this oled one ahaha

any downsides to oled over ips?

[tight perch]

My 80he arrived 🙂🙂🙂

[tribal scroll]

nothing dramatic, OLED will have higher power consumption (80-100W vs 30-50W) and may have a lower lifespan due to eventual burn-in

[barren yew]

sounds like a best buy item

[austere pike]

oh so no need to upgrade from that monitor i got?

[winter nebula]

P1 is the bit size

[tribal scroll]

if you can afford the jump to OLED, I'd say it's better but it really depends on what you use your monitor for

[austere pike]

gaming and jus watching stuff, that monitor was a gift so really i’d be just paying the difference

[tribal scroll]

I'm not gaming all day, I use my 38" Ultrawides for work and play

[tribal scroll]

hmm for that 350 aussie dollar difference, I'd say it's worth it

[austere pike]

it’s 340$ extra than my current one i linked earlier

[barren yew]

that monitor is so good

[tribal scroll]

if you mostly play comp FPS games and some HDR games/media, it's worth

man these lekker v2s aren't too bad at all

I was expecting them to be a little more dull from what I've read here but they do sound and feel nice

[desert jetty]

I like the sounds under the bigger keys like the space shift and backspace no

[tribal scroll]

like the thocky sounds?

[opaque sapphire]

damnn I like my new 80HE

[desert jetty]

yeah, i have the base model but they sound thock matelicy or smth

[coral bramble]

Ordered just over 2 weeks ago 🎉

[coarse crest]

Yo this zinc case feels like a metal marshmallow

This is pristine

[tribal scroll]

we have the zincs, but my wife described it as "cotton candy"

[tribal scroll]

that's mad fast

[desert jetty]

Ahha i can imagine, for me its a HUGE upgrade, i came from an 14 year old trust GTX keyboard, like those 30 euro mouse+keyboard+headset combos 🙃

[tribal scroll]

damn that's a huge jump, I'm happy for you

[desert jetty]

Yeahh bro thanks! i should have done this a long time ago. just didnt realize that i had such a shitty keyboard until my gf told me that some keys came loose 🙈

[valid comet]

sure OLED has better response times but it for me it doesnt beat ULMB 2 motion clarity on my PG27AQN, for me

[tribal scroll]

I'm coming from Zilent V2 switches, which are similar to Holy Pandas and the Lekker V2s are nicer

[desert jetty]

You've been using mech keyboards for a long time

[tribal scroll]

I got my first mech keyboard in 2012

when there were only MX switches to choose from lol

[valid comet]

damn

[desert jetty]

Ahhh i see. is the wooting your first HE keyboard?

[tribal scroll]

Yeah, it's my first HE

I'm glad I finally tried it out

[desert jetty]

My gf has one of those logitech mech keyboards that one is also really nice with a i think brown switch

but this one is by far better, it just feeels :chefskiss:

[austere pike]

https://www.centrecom.com.au/lg-ultragear-27gs93qe-b-27-oled-qhd-240hz-003ms-gaming-monitor?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADrCcHr_158YEyNmy_j7oKA0k-kIC&gclid=CjwKCAiA0rW6BhAcEiwAQH28IiHwIM10bMIZt2kKhu2YFF1L9Wso2gEYesXOMCwfbCuHvLHuf8zgqxoCGKgQAvD_BwE so this is worth the extra 340 aud?

vs an ips 2k 240?

[tribal scroll]

not sure if you missed my earlier reply: "if you mostly play comp FPS games and some HDR games/media, it's worth"

[patent copper]

does anyone know if theres any custom 80he cases yet or a way to make your own?

[buoyant solstice]

KBDfans is making one.

GT80

[patent copper]

thanks!

[fathom helm]

anyone got a geon raw lubed sound test on a zinc case?

wondering if i should purchase some

nvm

[valid comet]

prelubed from the factory

[fathom helm]

yeah i js clocked that and theres a sound test on wootings yt anyway 😭

[glacial wedge]

I bought that panel. I returned it because the letters were funky

[tribal scroll]

gen 1 and 2 OLED panels don't have the traditional RGB layout that's why

[main dock]

Next gen OLED panels might fix that issue.

[valid comet]

even the newer ones found on the PG27AQDP isnt the same, but i hear its better

[tribal scroll]

Gen 3 will have RGWB so it should mostly fix the font fringing issues

[fathom helm]

how many switches are needed for an 80he?

[tribal scroll]

90

[fathom helm]

thansjk

[glacial wedge]

That's cool to know, I hope they fix it soon. I loved the performance of that monitor

[tribal scroll]

well it depends on if you're ANSI or ISO but you'll need 84+

better to get a few extras in case some of them are faulty

[hardy forge]

There’s an asus rog strix display

That’s cheaper and offers same things

asus rog strix XG27AQDMG 26.5" 2560 x 1440 240 Hz Monitor

2k and WOLED

[austere pike]

wdym funky?!

[austere pike]

do u have the link sir

[main dock]

That moitor is using a glossy coating as well. Looks MUCH better than matte anti-galre coating IMO

[hardy forge]

Just search this up

[austere pike]

why th is it 26.5 inch 🤣

[hardy forge]

Idk 🗿

[austere pike]

why not 27 😂

[hardy forge]

It just wants to miss that .5 inch

[main dock]

It's due to it being OLED. It's because when they cut out the OLED glass during production.

[tribal scroll]

you can look at the photos from here: https://pcmonitors.info/articles/qd-oled-and-woled-fringing-issues/

[austere pike]

bro when i search it it comes up with 1300 dollar monitors ahhaa

[tribal scroll]

it's the sub-pixel layout causing it to distort

[hardy forge]

Here

[tribal scroll]

bro is from Aussie, not US

[austere pike]

yeh ahahha

that’s same priced monitor would be 1-1.2 k here smh

what’s everyone’s thoughts on the 80he tho? i’m guessing you guys all have it?

[hardy forge]

Oh shit

[austere pike]

what’s your reason behind the 80he/wooting over other keyboards/ competitors?

[austere pike]

yeh 🦘💀

[tribal scroll]

Mainly for their software and warranty

good luck trying to get any warranty with keychron or other chinese companies

[austere pike]

assuming 80 percent because ur not a fan of 60 percent?

[tribal scroll]

I play games that use F keys and I hate having to do FN + combos, same reason for work

this is my first HE keyboard though, so I never tried the 60HE

[austere pike]

cause look. i currently have a dog shit full size which has literally died on me, the switches are acting up , half the leds in the switches can’t change colour ( they are literally stuck on one color all random too) ,sticky typing it’s yuck.

i love the size however it’s also too big and ugly for my setup. i love the 60 with the tag , and the aftermarket support seems to be really big, however my issue is i’m familiar with big keyboards ie 80, full size blablabla , however it seems the support is heavily wooting and not super aftermarket as of rn

[austere pike]

are they both 80s?

[tribal scroll]

this is a full size 1800 compact layout on top

compared to the 80HE

[austere pike]

what keyboard is that top one

[tribal scroll]

Drop SHIFT

[austere pike]

lowkey sezy

[tribal scroll]

it's a compact 1800 layout

[austere pike]

would u recommend?

or wooting all day !?

[tribal scroll]

I like it a lot, but the SHIFT is good for both work/game setups. It's only my first few hours with the 80HE and I do enjoy the 80HE better so far

[queen flame]

i have it the only thing to complain about is the brightness but i don’t think it’s a issue

[queen flame]

wdym

[tribal scroll]

#🌟│wooting80he message

I mean if you don't see the fringing, then all the better for you

[austere pike]

i think my current monitors 300nits or smth

would that one i linked oled that u have be less bright significantly ?

[tribal scroll]

OLED's weakness is the lower brightness levels, about ~200 nits for full screen

but you shouldn't be going past that anyway

don't wanna burn/fatigue your eyes

[winter nebula]

https://mechboards.co.uk/products/hyper-7-v4

[austere pike]

wth is this

[winter nebula]

The best keyboard. Go get it.

[queen flame]

200 nits

[tribal scroll]

that's HUGE lol

[austere pike]

legit

[winter nebula]

Or at least, the most keyboard.

[queen flame]

this has to be a sham or something

i mean if you took a photo and 5x zoomed into it you can see it kind of

but you can’t see it at all

[tribal scroll]

here's the SHIFT, there's a newer V2 now but it's a mech keyboard and not HE so might not be what you're looking for: https://drop.com/buy/drop-shift-v2-mechanical-keyboard

[fiery nexus]

I'm a keeb nerd. I have x-bows ergos as my daily drivers. I got the 80he because I didn't have an HE board and Wooting is the big dog. That said, I love it. I changed the activation to 2.0mm and it's rock solid for me as a portable. I'm using the gateron mag jades in it, and some rando shine thu pbt caps I had handy. It sounds nice, too, even w the plastic case.

[winter nebula]

I could immediately notice the fringing on mine, but it wasn't a dealbreaker for me and I kept it 🤷

[tribal scroll]

some people are sensitive to it and get bothered by it, if it doesn't bother you, then it's a non-issue

[queen flame]

you would have to be 1 inch from your monitor to notice even then you still can’t notice

[winter nebula]

Not true and false?

Just because you don't experience something my friend doesn't mean nobody does.

[tribal scroll]

That's just how the internet acts like, not everyone has the same experience

[queen flame]

if you replace your ips and got oled you wouldn’t notice it

[upbeat notch]

hi

[winter nebula]

I did, and I do.

How hard you gonna run this one?

[tribal scroll]

I use both IPS and OLED and I notice it, but I'm not complaining about it

[queen flame]

wow you must have some good eyes

[winter nebula]

I do, thanks! 20/20

[final wraith]

u absolutely would lol

[tribal scroll]

like I said, it's good you don't notice it so you can stay happy with your experience

[winter nebula]

If you're just looking for someone to fluff up OLED for you, they're still great. Just some subpixel arrangements have issues w/ text clarity. Not the worst thing in the world.

[fiery nexus]

I have one in the GB. 2q2025, they say!

[winter nebula]

Goddamn dude, I am jelly.

[fiery nexus]

I mean, it's only slightly more than the cost of two keyboards, two really nice keyboards, and it contains about that many components. So... I mean, the GB is still open.

[winter nebula]

Sure, it's not so much the price, but I just couldn't think of a use I'd have for such a beast. If I did video editing or something maybe, but doing software stuff I mostly just type w/ maybe some baby shortcuts.

[fiery nexus]

Yeah, I couldn't not get it but I'm not sure that I'm going to make the best use of it.

[winter nebula]

It's almost justifiable just as a beautiful monstrosity

[fiery nexus]

The way I look at it it's the cost of a nice, not even really nice bow. Exactly, beautiful monstrosity is just it.

[winter nebula]

Bow as in for a string instrument?

Or weapon? Both can be up there 😄

[fiery nexus]

It's my understanding that reasonable bows for stringed instruments are ridiculously expensive. I meant a bow for traditional archery. A longbow or a recurve.

[winter nebula]

Ah, I know of the former but not the latter, and yeah instruments can go about as high as you're willing to spend 😕

[tribal scroll]

I've never seen someone compare the price of keebs to a bow before

[winter nebula]

Hey I am pumped for you, I'd be excited to get hands on such a thing.

[tribal scroll]

It's still relatively cheap compared to modding a car

[fiery nexus]

I work with the hobbies I have. Flashlights are way less expensive, and I'm not really a knife collector.

[winter nebula]

Good cause that one also seems insanely expensive

:gaben:

[tribal scroll]

Knives are expensive

[winter nebula]

If gaben does it, y'know...

[tribal scroll]

I have one spyderco knife and that's all the knife I need to collect

[umbral timber]

i just got in an hr ago and this is more insane than i thought

[barren yew]

Why are the 2 dots blue?

[candid orbit]

anything on the 8k polling rate bug

[lime falcon]

you can change it

if you want red go in my profiles, click on three dots > edit profile and set background color to red or whatever color you want

then add Profile Indicator in light bar settings

[midnight iron]

There’s a test firmware update for it if you haven’t tried that yet. Fixed it for a lot of folks

[tribal scroll]

Is there a function for turning RGB On/Off? I only saw RGB brightness up/down

[midnight iron]

The ‘black’ color is rgb off

It’s weird I know lol

[tribal scroll]

I mean as a keyboard toggle?

I guess it would just be a new profile huh?

[midnight iron]

Yeah it would just be new profile I think

[wispy trellis]

becouse wooting thought on the most stupid way to show profiles ever.. and made it into the bar.. you can remove it like almost all ppl will do

[barren yew]

it seems like im having trouble doing that

can i make the light red

[gilded junco]

You only make them as expensive as you need them to be honestly

[tribal scroll]

go to the light indicator section and you can change it or delete that function here

[midnight iron]

What I did was change the led bar color for each profile and have it fill the whole bar

[tribal scroll]

The same could be said for any product/hobby tbh

[midnight iron]

So profile 1 is white, profile 2 is light blue etc

[barren yew]

smart actually

[gilded junco]

The thing is a knife is a tool

[midnight iron]

I like that more than the dot on the bar which is a bit ugly imo

[gilded junco]

Most people get one thinking they’ll use it in some form of self defense when that should be the last thing on your mind

[tribal scroll]

Ok? Same could be said for monitors or keyboards or mice, even cars

Doesn't prevent people from spending more than what is necessary

[gilded junco]

So I’m gonna use my monitor as a tool?

[tribal scroll]

Don't you use it to "see" what you're doing on a PC

[barren yew]

shouldnt this make it red too

[gilded junco]

We don’t have to have this discussion, I can tell we think very very differently on the subject agree to disagree

[barren yew]

what am i missing

[tribal scroll]

I have no idea what you're doing but you can just do this:

[barren yew]

its not changing 💀

[tribal scroll]

No I get what you're saying, but it's really easy to spend more than you need to when it comes to even things like kitchen tools (utensils, pots/pans), garage tools (chinese crap vs "brand names"). Anyway no need to discuss further like you said

[open badge]

anyone eu-brug waiting or gotten their wooting?

[tribal scroll]

Change to "Effects Studio" at the middle top area, select Constant and Solid as the effect type

[barren yew]

🙃

[tribal scroll]

Did you delete the default effect?

[umbral timber]

got it today

[open badge]

waiting for mine, shipping shows it hasn’t moved in 3 days 🥲

[barren yew]

i do not think so

[umbral timber]

give it this week to ship. pre busy this time of year

[tribal scroll]

Try disconnecting your keyboard and then refreshing browser in case it's not going through

It's been a few hours but I haven't had any issues with 8k + tachyon ON, even with 100% rgb brightness

stock cable with USB A adapter plugged into a red USB 3.2 port at the back of my mobo

[barren yew]

i have discovered the problem ty

[dusk summit]

this keyboard is actually insane except for the fact that you need time to get used to it because of how sensitive it is lmao its like getting used to a new pair of very nice running shoes

[robust pollen]

swapping out my lekker v2s for the first time... why are they so hard to pull out? never experienced this on traditional swtiches

[midnight iron]

The tolerances and design were a tad bit too tight for the plate

So they are extra tight in the plate and a bit hard to remove

Calder said they’re working on making some minor changes to the mold to try make it not as tight

[robust pollen]

ok swapping to geon raws hopefully they arent as a tight this is a pain to remove lol

[vivid monolith]

What upgrades have you guys made to your wooting HE? I like a nice click i rn just got Jade switches with my board about to put it together would you guys suggest a tape mod? and any stablizer that you guys suggest? aswell had any other nice switches and i need some aweosme keycaps but idk where to get good ones!

[midnight iron]

Nah geon raw aren’t as insanely tight as them. Still tight but not death grip tight like the lekkers in 80he

[midnight iron]

If your current stabs are fine then don’t change them

[vivid monolith]

ty i didnt know how great they were out of box

[vivid monolith]

i was considerinh geon raw they sound great in the video i watched! im really considering ordering them lol i just hate spenging so much without knowing haha

[midnight iron]

Geon raw or jade pro are both good options

[robust pollen]

its a workout to pull these out waiting for my switch puller to break

[midnight iron]

yeah a lot of folks broke their plastic puller doing it

gotta master the wiggle and even then it’s still pretty tight

I do love my new ttc magneto pom, but the sound is 100% not for everyone

[vivid monolith]

so you wount use the Jade Stablizer like replace the orginal ones that come with the jade switches? i just saw they have a set of the grey them that wount really change muh of anything would it?

[midnight iron]

Keep your current stabs if nothing wrong with them

[surreal wasp]

The keys on my rapid profile that are blank and i dont know how and they dont work pls help?

i posted with an image on community support

[lime falcon]

Go in remap and click Default

you imported 60he profile and thats why

[surreal wasp]

bro ur the goat, how did i do that

[vivid monolith]

@midnight iron how well do you think the Geon raw HE switch will let light thru i want the light to be pretty bright it looks like they might dim them alot?

[frosty pond]

is the price of the wooting 80 he gunna go up after pre order

[vivid monolith]

the jades are clear more or less the gein look foggy

[midnight iron]

It’s fine. Jade pros are worse due to the tinted green top housing

Go raw he if you’re concerned about rgb

[vivid monolith]

lol it should i think this is an awesome keyboard for the price

but thats great for competion so more come in

[lime falcon]

jade pros are fine unless you use white/yellow rgb

then it will be green

[vivid monolith]

okay so my jade switches are not tinted green like i swear its like clear i ordered them off wootings website lol is it cause it not the pro or what am i missin lol

[midnight iron]

We’re talking about Jade pros

[lime aspen]

Those are the og jades

[vivid monolith]

and ik its all prefence but you think 60g or 40g would be way to go i dont think ill care lol but is 40g seem light to anyone i dont think ive used switches lower then 60gf

[vivid monolith]

damn lol should i not have went wtih those or whats your opion on those cs geon raw

vs

[lime aspen]

Raws are better

Less stem wobble, cleaner sound profile

[lime falcon]

better than what

[lime aspen]

I'm also on og jades, was gonna pickup raws eventually

[lime aspen]

Og jades/dashes

[vivid monolith]

bet gonna order them ongiht lol

cause i was gonna and just hadnt lol

[robust pollen]

oddly my spacebar gets stuck with the geon raw he no clue why...

[vivid monolith]

but now ik i didt even get the jade pros ima make sure and get the raw

[lime aspen]

Stab issue?

[robust pollen]

i added extra lube to my stabs when i first got my kb. no issue on lekkers but stuck on geon raws..

[vivid monolith]

one other question lol anyone here used the Raptor HE Gaming Switch

[lime aspen]

Haven't used them but they were geons older HE switches

[vivid monolith]

these sounded very good to me in the video i watched but ik rgb would be worse

[lime aspen]

Once he made the raws they became completely irrelevant

[vivid monolith]

ty for the insight

[lime aspen]

• you need to stem swap them to work well with wooting as the magnets are too strong

[vivid monolith]

this is my first custom keyboard i guess i did have the gmmk but it was much more basic lol

i didnt wanna mod it much

[stark jolt]

I just plugged mine in and I can't seem to get the rgb effects to change using the v5 website. I'm trying to pick some presets and im keyboard is staying on the default rgb

not sure if I'm just not pressing the right buttons

[lime falcon]

screenshot wootility

[stark jolt]

keyboard is staying on the same slow scrolling rainbow rgb

[lime falcon]

clear browser cache

or try other browser

[stark jolt]

tried, neither worked

[lime falcon]

replug?

[stark jolt]

nope

I'm gonna try making a new profile and see if that works

oh yeah that did it lol

I appreciate the help anyways

[vivid monolith]

wow i only have switches on and keycaps to test and oml i love this thing

100x times better then a gmmk

[finite sierra]

Whos from PH here and ordered wooting 80he? Can i ask about customs and taxes.

[vivid monolith]

also i just did a comparion myself of the normal jades and the lekker v2 the sound is just slightly better on the jades i feel personaly but they did so good on the Lekker v2

[river spindle]

Where is my RAW alloy case for 80HE !

I ordered Aug-2024 and now it's keep delayed

not sure can I get it next year? or 2 years later

[halcyon flint]

My zinc white is here, no visual defects

[vivid monolith]

lol ive always used 60G switches does anyone here use 40 or 50G ones i feel like i might enjoy them but idk if they be to light or not

[graceful mica]

With lower actuation distances the lekker 60's actually actuate with around 40g anyway

which is really light, less than any cherry switch i've used

[small bluff]

w kb'

[bleak parcel]

@finite sierra I see no message

Nvm discord mobile just lagging

[vivid monolith]

is there anywhere to order GEON Raw HE Switch in USA so i dont gotta pay so much shipping lol

[upbeat notch]

[lime falcon]

divinekey

[real wing]

[low token]

No that i know

to anyone out there thats gonna order lol

[lime falcon]

or get jade pros

[vivid monolith]

id rather have the raws casue the jade pros might cause some lights to look off idk

[lime falcon]

My eyes might be cooked but i barely see any difference between them, unless I set white/yellow rgb

[vivid monolith]

see i like using white lol

[small bluff]

?

[vivid monolith]

i apperciate you fr tho! ill probaly stick with normal jades till i can get the raw HE but lower shippping

[tight perch]

Is there still a double movement option ?

[upbeat notch]

i think u get it

[small bluff]

I dont 😭

[vivid monolith]

just so you guys do know the GEON Raw HE Magnetic Switches 10 pcs pre pack are avaliable on ali express!

thanks to who suggested that

[fickle yew]

My 80he arrived today, gotta say I'm impressed. Feels so good to use.

[vivid monolith]

thats what im saying im sad i got normal jades with it lol ii thiguht it be the pros for some reason but keyboard is amazing i just ordered Geon Raw HE Linear Switches

[upbeat notch]

ur dog

is cute af

[violet garnet]

Turn the effect to static

[small bluff]

oh

lols

[vivid monolith]

can anyone reccomend where to buy keycaps from maybe? I got the white ones and like it but kinda want somthing unquie or cool

[stark jolt]

I fixed it by making a new profile

[floral badger]

just got my 80he

now to figure out these wootilty settings

[wide cloak]

My 80he was supposed to arrive between Dec 24-Jan 6 in EU-Walvis and now it says late January EU-beloega, has this happened to anyone else?

[coarse crest]

this keyboard is it

[hushed sphinx]

It's here boys

[coarse crest]

white zinc is magical

[hushed sphinx]

It is tho

The online sound test didn't do it justice at all.

The video

[vivid monolith]

what switches is everyone using rn?

[coarse crest]

Jade pros when they arrive, using a frankenswitch atm

[spring oar]

There's also Geon Raw HE

[hushed sphinx]

Jades here

[vivid monolith]

haha i accidely ordered the normal jades off wooting and idk if i should order the geon raw HE or the jade pros lol

[coarse crest]

both RAW and pros are good, I think I prefer how the pros sound over RAW, but both are great picks

If you dont care about the small differences in sound, Id just pick it out of a hat

[vivid monolith]

thank you i might just have to waste the money and buy both lol

i do like the sound of the normal jades alot so idk lol

[spring oar]

It's fine, got extra switches if you wanna build a second HE keyboard

[coarse crest]

id go pros then if you liked OGs

[vivid monolith]

raw HE will look better with lighting tho no green tint

[coarse crest]

apparently from what others have said its not really green unless you use white/yellow alot

[vivid monolith]

i like white lol thats why i am hasitent on the pros lol one thing thats throwing me in the Raw switches its just so annyoing having so many options haha but also great

[vivid monolith]

you think HE switches will be like the new standard type of switch for most upciming keyboards just because how easy they are and how well they perform?

[spring oar]

I don't know, but due to wooting's popularity, there's a lot of them coming.

[tribal scroll]

I'm gonna stick with the Lekker V2s for now

[vivid monolith]

i tested them i like them like the normal jades but jades have little more click which i like

[coarse crest]

Yeah we're probably still early on in that process

[vivid monolith]

i honstly think the lekker have less wobble then normal jades too

[tribal scroll]

It seems like new HE switches come out every 6-8 months and everyone buys into the hype

[vivid monolith]

has anyone used the jades max? i havet seen anything to postive for them

[vivid monolith]

lol thats why i dont wanna waste money but i wanna see the differnce lol

[coarse crest]

dont

[vivid monolith]

micro center needs to get a bunch in stock to test wise lol

kinda how they did with gmmk

[tribal scroll]

Maxes have sticking/friction issues

[coarse crest]

I chose maxes over jade pros and that might've been the biggest L of this year

[spring oar]

do they stock regular mx switches?

like 90 of em in a jar

[hushed sphinx]

Love it so far

[midnight iron]

the new lekkers might

[tribal scroll]

Due to using the same material with the stem and top layer

[vivid monolith]

thx for reasurring me i was far from them but now ik fs

[midnight iron]

v1.5 and v2 are pretty stable. Not magneto stable, but pretty stable

[hushed sphinx]

Though I think I didn't get the led bar blocker thingy with mine

[coarse crest]

if we completely sidestep the friction issue, their smoothness didnt come close to RAW and I imagine same for pros too

[midnight iron]

but then again i don't think anyone should buy og jades anymore anyway

not when jade pros are starting to drop in price too

[vivid monolith]

at mine they had a bunch of gareron mx switches when i pciked up a gmmk pro a year and half aho

i dont remember how many was in a pack tbh tho probaly was 90

[spring oar]

hmm, maybe only for gmmk or big brand stuff. because I doubt custom like HE keyboard is coming to micro center.

[tribal scroll]

It's not mainstream enough probably

[vivid monolith]

yeah i wish i would of relized wooting was selling the normal ones i didnt read enough lol

[vivid monolith]

i assune so the worker i talked to said that was the first custom keyboard they had ever carried

[indigo stratus]

I'm buying the komrgb

[floral badger]

how do you recalibrate 80he after switching switches

[hushed sphinx]

Yup. It helps.

Not just a pretty face.

That's a solid 3% better than my old best, first try

[candid spoke]

U guys think i can change my order while its in mass production

[spring oar]

Noice, another rhythm gamer

[vivid monolith]

email them on it and possibly

[vivid monolith]

go to your order and click on the contact them and should be able to ask to change on the order

[sudden canyon]

what are known as the best screw-in stabilizers in the market?

[midnight iron]

No such thing, but most popular ones are swagkey knight v2 and typeplus x yikb stabs

[floral badger]

question, these geon raw he says its 3.4mm full travel but in wootility its showing 4.0mm when full depressed. am i doing something wrong

[vivid monolith]

is it worth the 15$ to upgrade the stabs?

ima boutta grab these switches a keycap and swiych puller lol i see the typeplus x yikb stabs

[hushed sphinx]

Ayyyy

I'm also drunk and didn't take my adderall today. And I still did that well.

[midnight iron]

that's normal

[vivid monolith]

Somehow convince me not to order both switches lol

[floral badger]

hmm okay

[vivid monolith]

and are the stab really worth or nah

should i try them if ive never tried them before ?

[midnight iron]

tldr is treat 0-4mm as 0-100% of the length of whatever switch you have in

they numbers don't update because they're still working on the switch selector, but for now you can just pretend 4 = 3.4mm

[midnight iron]

stabs are just for people who want to upgrade for fun more than because they need to

you'll need to lube them yourself either way, same for if you want to tune your stock stabs

[floral badger]

ohhhhhh okay thank you

[midnight iron]

why does your cart have 90 jade pros and 90 raw he though lol

are you buying for 2 boards?

or just buying for fun to test out switches

[lofty epoch]

I broke my keyboard. Can you repair it?

[vivid monolith]

for fun lol i like white in my rgb lol so idk if the jade pros will mess with it

[sudden canyon]

those are preference or any diff at all?

[midnight iron]

are these cheaper for you btw https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008092430511.html

for 90 jade pros

[vivid monolith]

lol for some reason that wont load for me

45 ist bad anyway but ty

[midnight iron]

just preference. I prefer knight v2 myself, but either is good. knight v2 comes in long pole too

[valid comet]

this is normal

[hushed sphinx]

Changing them is a pain

You gotta take off the caps, then the switches, then put the new ones in

Then put caps back on

[valid comet]

I think when wootility v5 maybe it will allow users to change the reading to say 3.4mm max based on the switch you choose, not certain please take what I said with a grain of salt

i personally would like this on a per key basis

[midnight iron]

personally i wouldn't order both jade pro and raw he, it's a bit of a waste to have both with such similar sound profiles. Better to just pick raw he if you want white rgb or jade pro if not and you prefer the slightly different pitch over raw he

[spring oar]

set to 10+mm, there, 0.05mm RT

[midnight iron]

if you wanted to try multiple types would be more interesting to buy say 90 raw he and 90 magneto or jade gaming for example to mix it up a bit

[valid comet]

wait what i dont understand

another thing I really love about Raw HE switches is they remind me of using a speed silver switch which i really love because its total travel I think was 3.4mm and had a slightly lighter spring, where I use the 50g variants

i thoroughly enjoyed my k70 when it worked lol

[spring oar]

I mean like, artifically increase the perceives mm by the software and have a pseudo low mm rt setting.

[valid comet]

true

[onyx plank]

raws vs jades

[valid comet]

I mean sometimes in software at least in beta it still jumps from 3.25mm to 4mm even if i used lekkers, jades or raws

not all the time but sometimes

in practice it didnt affect me but maybe the software was just confused

[spring oar]

Maybe it's just that, never had any catastrophic failure when playing game, just yet

[buoyant solstice]

[fickle yew]

Is the detachable cable worth it?

[quartz saddle]

how do I stop my spacebar from getting stuck at the bottom for a very short time if I press the spacebar down hard. does it have really bad stabilizers or something?

[fickle yew]

It's like the only thing I didn't end up getting as an addon

[buoyant solstice]

Do you like a cooled cable?

[fickle yew]

Never really used one tbh

[buoyant solstice]

Coiled even*

Dang phone.

[final wraith]

spacebar is overlubed

i dont remember the fix but i think theres pads on the stabs or something that u need to take off and replace with something else

[quartz saddle]

ok. well that kinda sucks but ill look around for solutions because it makes the keyboard feel 3x worse to use while gaming lol

[wanton pebble]

No. But it is just cool

[fickle yew]

Hmmm icic

[fathom pawn]

Chat I’m looking to buy a keyboard

I’m on the apex pro tkl 2020 rn

Are the switches on the 60he similar?

I had a akko he but that didn’t work and I always had to be at .3ms rapid trigger or it would stop input

[ruby schooner]

V2 white 80he Christmas Day 🙏🙏

[mellow current]

The tracking link hasnt updated for a week soon, is that normal?

[final wraith]

purely cosmetic

[buoyant solstice]

Bit overdue. Can't hurt to reach out to support.

[mellow current]

Wooting or Fedex?

[fickle yew]

I'd say support

[mellow current]

Ah yes, the support

[fickle yew]

As in wooting support

[mellow current]

Okay so they actually have a link for this issue nice

[austere pike]

how so

[umbral timber]

prob the most responsive keyboard ive ever used, granted this is my first ever he kb

[hybrid inlet]

Do I Need to keep the packaging in case of warranty?

[buoyant solstice]

That would make it a LOT easier, yes. Because otherwise you'll have to go looking for a similar box and padding down the road.

[pulsar grotto]

who doesnt collect them boxes

[spring oar]

wooting box looks nice

[bright jewel]

for the valueeeeeeeee

[quartz saddle]

Is it possible to just not replace them

you know. is it possible to get lekker 60 v2 switches that aren't pre-lubed

it is like I am using my keyboard with a smoothing filter. as dumb as it sounds

it feels nice. but it feels impractical

[shadow sky]

Has the new white case been announced yet

[bright jewel]

no, we're still cooking

[buoyant solstice]

No.

[quartz saddle]

that sucks. o well

I've always very much preferred non lubed switches because they feel more tactically responsive to how I am pressing the keys

in a real world it doesn't make much difference but. with a keyboard thats all about minmaxxing I could see it make a minor difference to videogaming performance

in the end it doesnt matter that much and it sounds good its just a very me-specific thing I dont like that much. but I guess its time to get used to it B)

[onyx plank]

maybe a different switch

[quartz saddle]

are the lekker v2 switches not the most accurate switches and quickest response times for the 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

I am imagining the sheer terror of using an unlubricated switch. Scratchy, noisy, grindy.

[lucid plover]

Hi guys, I just received my 80HE and is getting some troubles. So, when I use Wootility v5, my keyboard constantly disconnects and I basically cannot make any changes to my keyboard. I have tried using the stock cable but didn't work either. Does anyone knows the solution here? Thanx!

[quartz saddle]

surely a different switch would have other negative consequences that outweigh me just simply not liking how lube feels on keyboard switches. or the small instances it might make a gaming impact

[onyx plank]

maybe you just like non-linear switches better

is all personal preference

[quartz saddle]

my main games are counterstrike and osu where mashing and being really accurate with keypresses actually matters

so I was just wondering. also I do like linear switches

[onyx plank]

wooting does have an article that talks about it https://wooting.io/post/the-best-keyboard-switches-for-gaming

[bright jewel]

#1019755933959733258 make a post here and then we can take it from there

[quartz saddle]

I used to own gateron optical reds, obviously a somewhat bad switch, but I quite liked how they felt pre-lubed. I lubed them myself using krytox 205g0 or whatever its been a while and I don't memorize names that much but, they felt way more responsive pre-lube

and I was upset and got new switches lmao

thats why I came and asked. thats all

also question. if the keys can activate at 0.1mm, why can't rapid trigger be set to 0.1mm?

I understand the accuracy is probably a limiting factor for that. just wondering if thats actually why though

[buoyant solstice]

Why would you need rapid trigger at that point though? 😄

[quartz saddle]

osu

its a key mashing game

in all reality

[buoyant solstice]

I don't think you understand how Rapid Trigger functions. I am referring to the values you're trying to use.

[quartz saddle]

new meta for getting higher ranks is just tapping really fast. so the less you need to move your fingers the better

oh I see. I meant deactivation and reactivation set to 0.1mm

when I play osu I don't take my finger off the keys when I do speed streams

so having 0.1mm deactivation and on activation I feel like would be good for osu. but maybe im insane

if it matters to sway your idea on how much I know what im talking about, I got 1.5k hours and im top 4k

genuinely not a flex its just that if you dont know much about osu and why it would be good for osu I feel like I'd be qualified to explain atleast a little bit

rapid trigger on really sensitive values makes a pretty moderate difference

[lyric heron]

Cant have too low actuation point because osu is about control aswell, finger control and holding the bpm

[quartz saddle]

I don't see why having sensitive rapid trigger would change that

that's all based on you, not the keyboard. "too low" actuation point is fine as long as you take your time to learn to control it

[desert parcel]

Guys i ordered the wooting 80he ghost pcr is it worth it for me to order the zinc case?

[shrewd cargo]

yes, but the wait is substantial

[upbeat notch]

for me, nah

but for these rich ppl, ye

[desert parcel]

What about the gt80 case

[buoyant solstice]

No shipping dates yet afaik

[quartz saddle]

I just dont really understand why it was capped at 0.15mm if actuation point can be 0.1mm

[shrewd cargo]

maybe the 0.01mm rt boards are more to your requirements

[quartz saddle]

because you can deactivate and reactivate the key within 0.3mm right now(0.15 + 0.15). but if it was lowered to 0.1mm(0.1 + 0.1) you could do it within 0.2mm

[quartz saddle]

yeah I mean, I do just play osu the most mashing demanding game that would benefit from this value being as low as possible

so I am unsure as to why it is even capped at 0.15mm

[spring oar]

It's a rhythm game, key mashing is just one of the mean to get higher rank, not necessarily the core of the game.

[quartz saddle]

yea but this is an keyboard that has its advertising for customizability to your needs and I can't do it to the degree of which I want it to

for some weird benign reason aside from "idk why do you want it lol"

[shrewd cargo]

plenty of boards out there that can

[quartz saddle]

yeah but why not this one. I don't really get it still

[shrewd cargo]

could be a technical choice, who knows

[quartz saddle]

what boards can do it?

sayodevice?

[shrewd cargo]

melgeek, mchose ace series, nuphy are the ones that come to mind

[quartz saddle]

damn. so wooting was a silly decision for me?

[shrewd cargo]

did you place an order already?

[quartz saddle]

I have my 80he already lmao

[shrewd cargo]

oof

[quartz saddle]

thats why im asking about it and wondering why it's even a thing

[buoyant solstice]

We're working on correcting that in a future build.

[quartz saddle]

like a new keyboard or a firmware update

[buoyant solstice]

Firmware update.

[quartz saddle]

oh alright sick

you thinking 0.01mm rt will be possible? or nah

[buoyant solstice]

Give them an inch, and they want a continent.

[quartz saddle]

what do this mean

[buoyant solstice]

0.01mm is a buzzword

[tight cypress]

People are complaining that 0.15mm is way too sensitive, and you want 0.01

[quartz saddle]

yes because I play osu

I would set deactivation to 0.1mm and reactivation to 0.01mm

[buoyant solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/well-that's-too-damn-bad-holes-too-bad-oh-well-suck-it-up-gif-14703423262202948839

[quartz saddle]

hmm ok

[tight cypress]

Coolio, but no human can move their fingers with 0.01mm precision anyway
Especially during gameplay

[spring oar]

Nah, he mashing

[quartz saddle]

the point is that its actually supposed to reduce human error

ngl

[buoyant solstice]

And the sensors are too unstable as well. All of the boards claiming 0.01mm have had very inconsistent signaling, which is why they keep recommending you don't actually use the feature 😄

[quartz saddle]

because if a reactivation is 0.01mm, that means that you don't have that 0.15mm area to accidentally not lift high enough on, then never reactivate the switch and inevitably miss

[quartz saddle]

ah, so its something like monitors claiming to be 1ms response time but the overshoot is hilarious that it doesnt even matter if it exists

[tight cypress]

But 0.15mm is tiny, really tiny

[quartz saddle]

yeah but even one time of missing it is a missed note

[valid flax]

i just placed an order for the 80, is this batch 3?

[quartz saddle]

you not understanding where im coming from? I feel like you do but just don't think its possible for anyone to not go above the 0.15mm activation, but when you're mashing you totally can miss it because youre moving the keys such small amounts

[buoyant solstice]

remains severely doubtful

[quartz saddle]

yes, it is severely doubtful. I just think it is weird that I cannot make it lower and suffer the consequences on my own and figure out how sensitive I can actually make it

[spring oar]

Kinda for me? Mashing in a rhythm based game is extremely bad practice. Unless it's humanly impossible to do so (which i severely doubt ranked chart have one).

[tight cypress]

I'm talking about 0.15mm RT
And yes, even with mashing it's impossible to keep in that 0.15mm
Take a ruler and check how tiny distance it is

[quartz saddle]

I know how tiny it is

[tribal sedge]

Will there be a discount on wooting for Christmas?

[buoyant solstice]

We don't do holiday discounts.

[tribal sedge]

why

[buoyant solstice]

Because with some products being backordered till April, we clearly aren't having issues selling products as is 😛

No incentive to lower prices and make that issue even worse.

[valid flax]

is batch eu walvis the same as batch 3?

[tribal sedge]

I see

[buoyant solstice]

Why does it matter? You have an estimate on checkout, as well as the hub.

[quartz saddle]

the whole point is min/max. I don't see much of a point in not having the option. Just as long as its got a big warning slapped on it, it should be fine, no?

anyway I understand your reasoning for finding me insane. it is a very small value yea for sure

but the tiniest messup when you're playing a rhythm game is make or break. Just how it is

[tribal sedge]

is it in March the stock for the iso french for the 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

Checkout will tell you. But yes.

[spring oar]

That's why you improve finger control rather than mashing

[tribal sedge]

Ok ty

[tight cypress]

No, because people will ignore the warning and then come complaining why their keyboard starts typing by itself
And even in rhythm games that amount of precision is an overkill

[quartz saddle]

I wasn't really being serious on mashing. I was mostly talking about speed maps lol I just say they're mashing but they definitely arent

[spring oar]

😭

[quartz saddle]

also if rapid trigger is lower for reactivation, that means it will respond faster & be more sensitive. it's got a double positive to it for a game like osu

if it went from 0.15 -> 0.1 it will barely be anything and will probably barely change a thing, but for that 1/10000 note it made the difference B). It might also increase overall accuracy because your presses will be more responsive to what you do. in the end the lower for reactivation the better. because more sensitive is better for a game like osu, and it physically lowers the response time of the key so you get lower latency

its kind of just a double positive for rhythm games. thats why I came here to shill it

that's about it really though

[tribal sedge]

When there's a stock that comes back that's about how many keyboards?

[gaunt grotto]

[mellow current]

Where u from?

[quartz saddle]

is it 0.15 to 0.1 by the way? Just curious

neato

Well im looking forward to it even though I probably wont be able to tell aside from when im holding movement keys in a videogame and I accidentally let go B)

Im interested then, is there any future firmware updates you're allowed to update the community on aside from that?

[tight cypress]

No, no it won't
Timing in switch/RT actuation/re-actuation is an order of magnitude smaller than timing in rhythm games, maybe even two
In osu!, smallest possible window (HRHT 10* 300) is ±13ms, so 26ms overall, so we are talking 2 orders of magnitude bigger than switch re-actuation, maybe even more
If you can't hit that, then it's not problem with 0.15 vs 0.1 RT, on that level of timing it's just skill issue
