[wind granite]

The upper one is

It

[red heart]

ok it's getting stuck?

[wind granite]

I cant move IT Like the other one

[mental flare]

Only problem I had with mine is that it was over lubed and the keys were getting stuck/sticking

[wind granite]

Do i have to Open the Case now?

[red heart]

you'd have to open the case for this one yeah

[wind granite]

And what do i have to do then?

[red heart]

i'd say make a thread in #1019755933959733258 or join the guy that's having the same/similar issue to you

[pearl cedar]

wonder what the fix is?

[red heart]

could be a number of things since we dont know everything

[winter nebula]

One potential problem is the pads beneath the stabilizer housing, which become sticky when they come into contact w/ lube

[red heart]

i'm also not a complete expert but i hope some of this is useful enough into to make it a quick fix for someone else to come in and help

[warm heart]

idk if i get the wooting 80he or the iqunix ez 63 they both really good keyboardsssssss

its just the casing of the wooting 80he is plastic and im NOT spending 100 extra buckaroos for the zinc alloy one icl

bro its killing me idk what to get

[red heart]

I‘m gonna be honest with you here

If you ask people what to get in a channel all about the 80he, you will only get one answer

[median wave]

Just plugged my brand new wooting 80HE in and i cant figure out the wootility app. I am trying to test out the light indicator but it doesnt really work. Just stuck on blue and green

[warm heart]

true

[median wave]

When i drag the profile to the onboard profiles should the rgb switch automatically?

[pearl cedar]

Get the iquinex... you already said you want a metal case and you won't pay for the wooting one. Not sure I like the layout of the iquinex one, but if you do, then knock yourself out

[polar mulch]

Metal case is annoying to me, so heavy

[lime falcon]

wooting has better firmware/software than iqunix

thats the main thing

[warm heart]

tenz uses wooting 80he

[hazy tinsel]

Question, is there a guide for the 80he key swaps ? All I find is for the 60he

[warm heart]

you know what that means?

wooting 80he it is...

[buoyant solstice]

Key... swaps?

[hazy tinsel]

Switch sorry

[buoyant solstice]

Same approach?

[hazy tinsel]

In the video its recommended to remove with the screws but the screws are differnet on the 80he no ?

Or do you just hotswap without taking the whole thing appart on the 80he

[buoyant solstice]

The screws are the same. There's just more of them in different places.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNa5wuqiFVY

[warm heart]

whats the difference between the plastic and the zinc alloy

[buoyant solstice]

The material.

[warm heart]

💀

[hazy tinsel]

Ah I see so you take apart the outer hull first to get the pcb part out ok thank you

[warm heart]

bismallah what if i just get a alluminium case myself?

[buoyant solstice]

Then... you do that?

[hazy tinsel]

thats weird man

[warm heart]

what?

100 euros extra for aluminium case is just crazy to me if the standard keyboard just switched to aluminium i wouldve picked 80he instantly icl

[polar mulch]

You get travel case with the metal one or something

Not sure why mansen didn't mention that

[warm heart]

whats travel case?

[viral folio]

do the switched come pre lubed if its module

[buoyant solstice]

Not sure why I needed to.

[buoyant solstice]

-ALL- switches are prelubed 😄

[warm heart]

ohhh you part of the wooting team i didint realize mb

mein fehler

[lime falcon]

[polar mulch]

You are official representative

[lime falcon]

question wasnt what you get with zinc tho

[warm heart]

Another day, another victory for the ogs. Taking down the sweats

[rough coral]

Guys i received my 80he last week, you recomend to swap my switches to another ones?

[lime falcon]

if you dont like stock switches, you can try jade pros or geon raws

[urban swan]

Wait so the 80HE isnt actually being shipped yet in the US?

[buoyant solstice]

Whaddya mean "yet?"
We've been shipping 80HE since fall.

[digital parrot]

From what I understand is they are back ordered so they are shipping in batches rather than one at a time

And they aren’t at the warehouse yet which is why they are delayed

[urban swan]

It just mentioned mine was a “pre-order”

And I was struggling to find a timeline as to when I may receive my order

[buoyant solstice]

Pre-order is just a catch all term. Cause most people don't seem to understand the word backorder.

[buoyant solstice]

https://hub.wooting.io/my/account

[urban swan]

I do not remember making an account tbh, would it just show any orders tied to my email once I make an account?

[lime falcon]

Register with an email you used on checkout

[urban swan]

Sweet

[polar mulch]

I got mines cause I switched from prebuilt to the module, if I didn't would have had to wait till feburary 15 or something, I think the modules are out of stock now though

[lucid cape]

That's odd, the FN layer didn't work just ago when Tachyon mode was activated. I deactivated it, saved to keyboard, activated it again, saved to keyboard, and then the FN layer worked again.

[lost plover]

I have installed the Jada switches, but now when I'm putting the keyboard together, I'm having trouble with the silicone mat.Does anyone have any tips on how to put the silicone mat back in place so that I can attach the top shell?

[sullen ether]

hey so i got a 80he and i was wondering if usb c to usb a would prohibit any preformance?

are drop cables and keycaps good?

[short bane]

W animation right here

[buoyant solstice]

Should have removed the spaces for maximum switchy

[short bane]

theres spaces?

ohhhh

there

[lucid cape]

Any recommendations for a certain actuation point number for a typing profile on the 80HE?

[fresh sentinel]

#🌈│wootabase_profiles

[lucid cape]

I saw this, but i thought maybe someone can just tell me a actuation point that works well for him/her 🙂

[pastel edge]

Are there any other compatible cases for the 80he besides the ones on wooting website?

[short bane]

i might be wrong but i dont think so

[buoyant solstice]

A couple. GT80 being the most known.

[amber fjord]

Bone80 and GT80 are the only ones I'm aware of at the moment

[pastel edge]

damn

oh the bone80 is compatible?

[polar mulch]

0.1mm same accuracy when typing on Lekker 45s

[amber fjord]

I mean it has Wooting 80he so yes I would assume so.

[polar mulch]

0.1mm only bothers me when gaming, I might rest finger on movement key, but as time does on I do it less

[opal minnow]

any updates on the white zinc v2 cases?

[buoyant solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq5Yr0LWW8s

[opal minnow]

tysm just watched! also, when clicking "make a choice" on the wooting hub, it doesnt seem to update, is that normal?

[lime falcon]

yes

[left turtle]

after 2 months with my wooting 80he ... i'm going to say something some of you will be shocked ... but this keyboard doesn't feel right 🙂 can't say if it's ergonomics or other thing ... but i can't get used to it and i'm always thinking about using something else 😄
now you can burn me 😄

[red heart]

Sounds like you havent dialed it in exactly how you want

[lime falcon]

[left turtle]

can't say ... tried different switches ( different spring weights ) and so on and so on ... and it's weird ... i never feel good with the keeb ... strange feeling ...

[red heart]

If you only tried lekkers give geon raw he or jade pro a try

Otherwise maybe see if you‘d like a different typing angle more

Well, at the end of the day it‘s all about how you feel best, if you feel like something‘s off tho you should probably investigate and find what it is

[left turtle]

i have geon raw's, KoM's, Jade's ... that's not the issue 😄 it's not my first HE ... 60HE, Field75 ... 80HE ... even KBDFans 😄

[red heart]

If you find that it‘s something that is inherent to the technology then thats fine too

[left turtle]

maybe that's the thing

[red heart]

[left turtle]

can't say... way too sensitive maybe? 😄

[red heart]

Are you on the newest firmware

[lime falcon]

make it less sensitive then

[left turtle]

even setting up not to be 😄

[red heart]

Tbf i dont have mine on the most sensitive settings

[lime falcon]

[red heart]

I‘m also not like a super competitive gamer so my settings are all for chill usage

[left turtle]

what settings are you running Wiz4rd ?

[red heart]

I‘d tell you but i‘m in bed trying to sleep

[left turtle]

ah ok, have a great night sleep then 😄

[red heart]

And i havent looked at my config in a bit

But its probably something like 0.7 mm

With rapid trigger only on wasd and qwer

Like, still pretty fast but nowhere near adhd valorant kid fast

[regal raven]

Y'all ready

[thick lichen]

I'm in the works with a new update video. Which should be online probably Monday.

[red heart]

Sander its 2 am go to sleep

[lime falcon]

v2 white zinc before 2032

[low token]

Update video? Not new product vid?

[opal minnow]

Sounds awesome can’t wait !

I saw the new optimum keyboard and realized I had completely forgot I ordered an 80HE as it had been so long 😭

[thick lichen]

I wish I could 😛

[thick lichen]

its 10AM here 😉

[spring oar]

he's in Japan naow

[low token]

Well I already know about few. I'am looking for late march video

[ruby schooner]

Let’s go!

That’s what I want to hear!

Hopefully release date announcement 🤞

[light jasper]

woah so the guys who actually make the wooting products actually speak. 🙌

thats honestly rare to see when it comes to any product ive ever owned

[low token]

They are hiring sander jr

[regal raven]

When plugging the JST cable into the PCB, I feel like it's still loose

Is this normal. I'm pushing it in pretty hard

Or should I push harder

[mystic rampart]

The dot on the cable connector should be facing away from the pcb. Squeeze both connectors together, don't just push one in

[regal raven]

shoulda deleted, it's up and running now, thanks CivsteR

I just pushed it in far as I could

thanks for the dot tip

I just looked inside the connector and matches the fitting

[livid coyote]

wooting overpriced af fr

[lime falcon]

fr fr fr fr fr

[spring oar]

fr, for $200 they gotta give me a good night kiss every night.

[trail flax]

do coiled cables on drop affect anything with the 80he?

[polar mulch]

plugging into the JST was like super hard for me

the wire was so short

[regal raven]

glad I wasn't the only one, especially routing it while trying to lay it flat lol

what are these trying to tell me. Just wanna know before I change it

[atomic brook]

u have cancer

[regal raven]

oh no

[atomic brook]

essentially pic 2 means profile 1

and pic 1 is profile 2

[regal raven]

oh LOL

thanks man

[broken helm]

only took a couple of days to come in! Sound is so much better than the reviews i’ve seen and the stabs are nearly perfect. Space bar just has a very slight rattle

[regal raven]

same

when choosing a base layer, if I want to keep the RGB I set on the keyboard, it seems like I have to stay with static

cycle, spiral, etc. forces me to pick a "look"

I want it to just cycle or wave on the few colours I pick, is that possible

[atomic brook]

not rn

[regal raven]

thanks boss

[hidden terrace]

IhasWooting

[vast heron]

Ordered Jan 8th, Estimated Jan 27th, Delivered Jan 24th.
Thanks Wooting for the opportunity to try out the 80he ❤️

[dusky moth]

Probably the only person to not only get their keyboard on time, but early

[pearl cedar]

Mine was estimated april and is being delivered today! Hope they sent the correct model!

[lucid cape]

Isn't the keycap puller supposed to be inside the box of a wooting 80HE?

[bright jewel]

yes its this looking thingie

[lucid cape]

But this is a switch puller right, not a keycap puller

[lime falcon]

both

[bright jewel]

nope, one side is the keycap puller, the other the switch puller

it even says it aoround the circle area

[lucid cape]

ahhh i was putting it on the keycap from top to bottom

instead of left to right

I was thinking i'd damage the keycap haha

[shell nexus]

Just ordered and exprected for early may

So I plan on putting together the Wooting 80HE Module, Wooting 80% Zinc Alloy Case, and GEON Raw HE switches, with basic GPBT Arctic White Dye Sublimated Keycaps. What do you think?

Its my first build, so i am faily new to this

[atomic brook]

u could reconsider the kleycaps

they are quite overpriced

[shell nexus]

Hmm okay, which ones are you thinking about? I need ISO DE

[shell nexus]

and thanks for the tip

[atomic brook]

any non gaming brands would be great

[dreamy oxide]

sory for trash but i gave heart atack i have 2 wootings but i orger one

help me pls

[atomic brook]

u could also just get from wooting to save on shipping

[buoyant solstice]

Hi there. Could I have your order number please? USxxx / EUxxx

[dreamy oxide]

help pls i get 2 wooting but i order one can anyone help me

[dreamy oxide]

in dm

[buoyant solstice]

Here is fine. Just the order number.

[dreamy oxide]

EU277484H

[shell nexus]

There are still honest people out there !

[buoyant solstice]

Found the order. You did indeed only order one. Were they in the same box, or did you receive two separate packages? 🙂

[dreamy oxide]

2 i have

i get it 5 min ago

[buoyant solstice]

But were both keyboards in the same package? Or did you receive them as two different ones?

One box? Two box? 😄

[dreamy oxide]

diffrent

i send phoyo

2 diffrents

sory im shaking

i get 2 at diffrent packages on same adress

[buoyant solstice]

No need to worry. We'll find out what went wrong and fix it for you. It's not your fault 🙂

[dreamy oxide]

but i must send it i have no money for send box its my birthday present

i can send it today ok

[buoyant solstice]

We'll pay the return shipping. No need to panic. Just keep the boxes you received, and keep one of the keyboards unopened. 🙂

If you could please take some photos of the labels on the packaging that the keyboards came in, and send it to [e-mail] we'll figure out who didn't get their order, and why you were sent two instead of one. And then provide you with a return label so you can send it back for free. 😄

[arctic quarry]

Hello Guys, I just ordered, a Wooting 80 HE, estimated delivery in March 2025, and I couldnt any specification on what cable there is delivered with the Keyboard. Can someone in here Help me Maybe? Because I pnly have USB A ports on my PC

[buoyant solstice]

A USB C to C cable is included, as well as a C to A dongle you can use for your USB-A ports 🙂

[arctic quarry]

okay thank you so much !

[dreamy oxide]

ok

[distant monolith]

Most people would have kept the extra keyboard… this dude reported it to get it fixed.

You @dreamy oxide are the real goat. Take the 👑 king.

[shell nexus]

From a sound perspective, does it matter which ones i order? I though maybe those? YMDK Cherry Profile pbt keycap

[atomic brook]

pbt(a material) tends to sound "deeper"

[shell nexus]

okay, so more of a thock?

[dreamy oxide]

i send it like 50 min beacuse im fully shaking

[distant monolith]

Bro you have nothing to worry about

But someone down the chain will

[candid rain]

anyone has a clue why windows key is not working ?

[warped quail]

yaya

[candid rain]

i guess i keylocked it in the function menu

disabled that so should not happen anymore

[ocean monolith]

rate my wooting 80he guys

[warped quail]

tell me your downbad without saying your downbad i rate 10/10

[spring oar]

lewd

[ocean monolith]

😭 aye thanks

[warped quail]

my keyboard just arrived

[ocean monolith]

u built already?

or it barely js arrived

[warped quail]

its on my desk in the box

[ocean monolith]

did u get the module or u bought it already built

[warped quail]

i bought the already built verson

[shell nexus]

Congrats dude, I have to wait until early may 😄

[winged agate]

why after using shortcut
fn + del video stops but won't start?

[bright jewel]

do you atleast have the outfit that goes with it?

[shell nexus]

Hi, I ordered the Zink Case (RAW) this will be delivered in May. Is it possible that I get the Module and order the Wooting 80HE PCR ABS frost case together with the module? So i can start using it earlier and then switch to Zink.

[lunar solstice]

my 80he is arrived

[vagrant swallow]

does tachyon mode change anything

[bright jewel]

might be faster to place a new order?

[spring oar]

scanrate set to 8k, all rgb set to static, and unless unlocked, rgb brightness has a limit of 70%

[vagrant swallow]

oh so nothing much lost

i have my rgb on all white

[shell nexus]

Yes, I would place a new order with the PCR ABS frost case, would it be possible to geth the Module with this order? The one that I already payed?

[bright jewel]

that might be a bit more tricky, but you can reach out to our cs team, they can help you the best :) https://wooting.io/support?category=4

[viral folio]

we should all collectively come together to ban this guy

[lunar solstice]

what are the best settings for my 80he?

[bright jewel]

depends on what u wanna do with it + game + personal preference

[lunar solstice]

vore games like valo

[bright jewel]

theres a link to our valorant video in #🌈│wootabase_profiles in the pins

[lunar solstice]

okay thx

[bright jewel]

[lucid cape]

Do u guys also just put rapid trigger on on all keys? Or is it better to just WASD only + a couple of personal pref keys

[bright jewel]

personally only wasd + keys I might wanna trigger faster depending on the game

run or crouch keys

[coarse crest]

You could, for FPS I just put it on all keys I interact with frequently and leave off the standard typing keys

[winged grove]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AnyG_a1kosg

[toxic kayak]

I may have missed it, but any idea when the Zinc White is back on the web store (currently only available in Black)?

[buoyant solstice]

Sander mentioned it briefly on today's livestream.

TLDR; More news on the other side of CNY

[toxic kayak]

Cool, thank you

[lost plover]

Someone know how to make this shit to sit correctly

[low token]

Flip it

[lucid cape]

Which actuation point do most people prefer here for just a typing profile? (I've been looking in #🌈│wootabase_profiles but can't seem to find some typing profiles for the 80HE)

[low token]

Those rectanglar pieces should fit in holes

[low token]

Do you see holes in case

[low token]

Also wooting has assembly video

[lost plover]

But in the assembly video it doesn’t come off 💀💀

[low token]

Because it is under plate

In fucking module

You unscrewed

You are supossed to literally open case, connect module while placing it in, put too case, screw case, put switches in, put keycaps on

[lost plover]

Bro I know but the silicon is off

And it doesn’t fit exactly

[low token]

It will

Did you flip silicone like i said

[low token]

Because thats wrong orientation

[shadow acorn]

Whenever i put my actuation on 0.1 and click w its delayed and then i cant control anything, i thought i was just not used to it but its unplayable

anyone know how to fix?

or maybe im tweaking and im putting 2 keys so i dont walk and then let go

because i tend to hover my fingers over the keys 💀

[grim hawk]

what's the main difference between 40g and 50g geon raws? i've heard people say the 50g ones are much better, but in all of your opinions, which ones do you prefer from experience?

i ordered the 40gs

[shadow acorn]

what come pre installed?

[lucid cape]

Anyone knows how u get EUR sign on the 80HE? On a normal keyboard it's CTRL+ALT+5

[buoyant solstice]

Change your OS keyboard language to what your keycaps reflect.

[lucid cape]

€€€€€

[bright jewel]

for me its alt + 5

usa layout

€€€€

[lucid cape]

I've got a ANSI 80HE and had keyboard layout on ENG

Which worked for me on my old keyboard CTRL+ALT+5

Now i have to set it to dutch for it to work

[bright jewel]

im ansi too, alt + 5 works for me?

right alt

[lucid cape]

Doesn't work for me

[bright jewel]

are you on UK english?

on your pc keyboard layout?

[lucid cape]

ENG US

[bright jewel]

try the NL one

im on that one too

[lucid cape]

Yeah the NL one works

[bright jewel]

[lucid cape]

€

€€€

[bright jewel]

europapa

[lucid cape]

🙂

Haha

[nova nexus]

Heel eng

[shell nexus]

I heard the 60g are the best, who knows

[shell nexus]

It should be alt + E

[lucid cape]

On NL everythinf works!

[shell nexus]

Okay i see

[warped quail]

its funny when you get the metal version then someone wants to move it and got dam why is it so heavy

their just weak XD

[bright jewel]

[fallow estuary]

its just your wrist is strong from all that training

[warped quail]

how can you tell XD

[fallow estuary]

my 80HE fucks up profiles, has problem with reconnecting in web wootility, i wonders whats going on, new firmware is wonky or what

didnt have that problem before

[warped quail]

nothing like that for mean only the left shift was I by default

[fallow estuary]

ill try factory resetting it or something

[warped quail]

okie

[polar mulch]

Interesting to see all the 80he issues. Only issue I had was when I clicked on the gamepad toggle and then I had to readd the keyboard to wootility, there was a pop up but I didn't read it

Mines has been flawless on USB C to USC B tachyon mode

[north cosmos]

what are the most common issues? only issue mine has is the spacebar LEDs are brighter than the others and the spacebar sits crooked when resting

[ocean monolith]

nope

[ocean monolith]

ok

[ruby lantern]

hey i have a question, whnever i access the app version of wootility it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting my keyboard, making it hard to make changes as they keep reseting. Also, my rgb control software (Signal RGB) sometimes disconnects from the keyboard, there are no issues with the cable, anyone have an idea as to what could be causing this?

[lime falcon]

wootility hates signalrgb

[ruby lantern]

i mean i did just shut down signalrgb and its still disconnecting my keyboard

[lime falcon]

but they said theyre releasing an update for that in future, disable signalrgb before that

[ruby lantern]

I see, thats good. by they are u talking about signalrgb or wooting?

[lime falcon]

which keyboard? also it disconnects from software or keyboard completely disconnects

[lime falcon]

wooting

[ruby lantern]

80HE

[ruby lantern]

no it keeps working, its just

even tho my keyboard is on rn and working

[lime falcon]

maybe signalrgb service is still running when you turn it off, can you check task manager

[ruby lantern]

yeah i shut down the service fully in task manager

might just be an issue bc it was on before

so it is well known to cause issues with signalrgb right?

[lime falcon]

• Artemis RGB
• Project Aurora
• Razer software
• L-Connect
• Signal RGB
• Corsair iCUE
• OpenRGB

These are softwares that can cause issues

also check this https://help.wooting.io/article/173-how-to-flush-all-dead-registry-entries

[ruby lantern]

i see

[ruby lantern]

appreciate it

[pearl cedar]

what is the deal with the digital profile? Struggling to find info on it. I have created several analolgue profiles but not quite sure what the digital one is

[lime aspen]

Its just a profile that doesn't allow controller inputs mapped to it

Its the "default" profile the board loads into on boot

I use it as my typing profile

[polar mulch]

I keep seeing [others note] lots of connecting/disconnecting issues and randomly dying, etc

[buoyant solstice]

It is literally the same thing, except you don't get analog controller options.

No "push down key more, more power gaspedal" if you will.

[waxen bloom]

Wooting almost built

[pearl cedar]

Spent an hour or two with this keyboard... it's sooooo nice!

[lost plover]

my esc dosent work and ive tryed to reemap but dosent work any tips?

[agile pagoda]

Have you tried a different profile? Also, make sure board and wootility are both up to date.

[lost plover]

yes tried diffrent profile and mu keyhbord is up to date

[glass tusk]

Updates on the white zinc alloy?

[polar mulch]

When I was popping my switches in some would go in easy, others I would have to 💪

Is there anatomy of the switches? Looks like full plastic how does PCB know it's there

Just magnets magic?

[drifting crag]

stats after wooting

[night imp]

definitly impossible on regular leyboard :v

[lost plover]

any ide to get esc to start working

remaped is done

[drifting crag]

yep(its a joke)

[wind granite]

Guys do you know why IT doesnt fit anymore on the Front

[buoyant solstice]

You need to pull and push it down for the hooks to go in.

[buoyant solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNa5wuqiFVY

[wind granite]

Yeah i found the Problem i forgot to Put the screws Back thats why IT was in the Front Like this 😂

[lime falcon]

you need to push from inside

[wind granite]

Yeah i do it

[lime falcon]

mb, i thought you were disassembling it

[wind granite]

Or no It ist still the Same Problem IT thought the screws where the Problem

Oh shit

[buoyant solstice]

I already gave you the solution.

[wind granite]

It is not solid do you know why?

I looked at the Video but doesnt help

[buoyant solstice]

https://youtu.be/LNa5wuqiFVY&t=157

Timestamped

[lime falcon]

maybe he broke clips

[wind granite]

Can i buy The Screws

I accidentally turned mine over

[buoyant solstice]

Whaddya mean... turned them over? 😄

[wind granite]

I can't take it out anymore because the screws are twisted so broken so to speak with the p1

[buoyant solstice]

Ah so you STRIPPED the screws. That's no good.

[lost plover]

Yo my esc dosent work, when im checking visual feedback it dosent work at all

everyting works on the keybord without esc any tips what to do ?

[wind granite]

Do you think I can send it back and get a new one?

Because you have a guarantee on it

[buoyant solstice]

I'll leave that to the warranty team - Stripping the screws like that is not really covered under warranty.

https://wooting.io/support

[wind granite]

And If i buy the Case again do i get the screws to?

[dusk imp]

can someone tell me the best settings on wooting for fortnite

[light jasper]

its whatever feels good to you 🤷🏽‍♂️

[coarse crest]

For FPS I just put everything to 0.1, 0.15 RT + SOCD on WASD and call it a day tbh

[kindred coral]

Everything on 0.1 is kinda wild

I just do wasd on 0.1 and the rest on 0.7/1.0

[coarse crest]

Nonessential background keys are on like 0.5 but the 0.1 just applies to keys that are used frequently

[polar mulch]

Same everything on .1, maximum gaming settings work just fine for typing too

I don't see why typing profiles exist

[spring sonnet]

Just got my wooting 80he and the keycaps aren't fitting?

How much force do I need to apply when installing keycaps

They are not even fitting and come off very easily

[lime falcon]

should be easy, can you record video

[mighty nova]

should i get the black or ghost 80he

[warped quail]

where is the at symble on the wooting 80he uk layout

[valid comet]

I like the ghost more if you go dark PCR ABS

that's just me tho

[lime falcon]

frost

[buoyant solstice]

Uh... shift and 2 I think?

[flint folio]

Has anyone tried returning a product after already assembling the keyboard (setting in keycaps) and then dissasembling it? Did you get a 100% refund? Just received my 60HE+, opened the boxes and set in my keycaps but I'm regretting not getting the 80HE and migh return and trade in. Thanks.

[upbeat berry]

https://wooting.io/policies/warranty-return-policy

we have a 30day no questions asked return period. full refund

you may need to pay for shipping

[versed knoll]

Anyone know if theres a way to map keys to Left mouse button in wootility, but where the left mouse button does lmb down + up, instead of holding it down until released? I tried doing this in wootomation but this was very buggy (key only sometimes activated the macro)

[upbeat berry]

use dks

[flint folio]

Yeah, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure that I would still get a 100% refund on the keyboard price even though I had assembled it. Thanks.

[upbeat berry]

youd need to return the keycaps in their packaging and the keyboard in its packaging

[flint folio]

Yes. I will.

[upbeat berry]

other than that as long as nothing is broken by yourself assembling/disassembling it youll get what you paid

[flint folio]

Awesome. Thanks for the help.

[finite rover]

Anybody have issues with Wootility 5, not saving your actuation points and then not allowing you to use your enter or backspace key?

[versed knoll]

thanks ill try that

[finite rover]

Web based version*

[upbeat berry]

screenshot of the entire wootility window please

[finite rover]

AFK currently, I will when I return

[hidden terrace]

Can i just take my keycaps off and take the switch out in my wooting 80he or do i need to do more stuff to take my switches off

[lime falcon]

you need a switch puller

[hidden terrace]

But i dont need to like open the case or anything else

[lime falcon]

not needed

but it will be easier to pull out lekkers when you disassemble the keyboard

[regal raven]

I think I'm blind, where's tachyon mode in wootility

[spring oar]

on quick setting, bottom right

[regal raven]

thanks boss

[brave wasp]

whats the backorder date for the optimum case and caps

[buoyant solstice]

Checkout will tell you. Also wrong channel 😄

[dusky moth]

Can a mod/helper give me the na-whale-2 role pls 🙏

[buoyant solstice]

Only you can give yourself roles via the hub.

[dusky moth]

oh found it

[finite rover]

I figured it out. I had to do a hard reset on the keyboard and that worked

[polar mulch]

GHOST

TRANSPARENT PLASTIC SUPREMACY

I can buy frost OP1 and shell swap to have 3 black transparent plastic things in my setup

this frost on the monitor was a big keeping point for me, feel in love with it

[pine delta]

Nice

[lime falcon]

or get frost case for 80he

and have frost mouse/keyb

🥶

[snow canyon]

shafie you getting the GT80?

[midnight iron]

no, he purposely missed out on the gt80 because his inner mind knew the gt80 premium would be coming

a wise man with long term thinking

[snow canyon]

oh right theres a premium

[midnight iron]

yes, it definitely wasn't him accidentally leaving the order too late and batch 1 selling out before he got around to it

[lime falcon]

wtf

[spring oar]

lmao

[lime falcon]

idk actually, I thought middle port was fine but after looking at picture it kinda looks mid

will see maybe ill get it, or white zinc v2

[winter nebula]

The middle port looks mid 🤔 🧮

[lime falcon]

indeed

[polar mulch]

ye it's frost

[lime falcon]

your 80he is ghost

[polar mulch]

🤔

frost = transparent plastic

[lime falcon]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-80he-pcr-abs-case?Color=Frost

[polar mulch]

oh frost means white?

🤨

[pliant kestrel]

“Ghost” I get the association with the color white, but in my head I picture Ghost as a black transparent color

[lime falcon]

not mine btw

[polar mulch]

op1 says dark frost vs white frost

[pliant kestrel]

That’s more semantics I think. Like same idea but very simple and easy , no ambiguity .

[quartz saddle]

Is there a way to get like pre-alpha drivers lol

I want that 0.1mm release and that 0.1mm actuation rapid trigger, we stuck on 0.15mm rn

[lime falcon]

there wasnt 0.1mm

it said 0.1mm but it wasnt actually 0.1

They are adding 0.1mm rapid trigger soon

[quartz saddle]

I talked to a developer of the firmware a while ago, they said they were doing that

Yeah you get it. Was there a bug recently or something

I didn't see it if so lol. I just know that its coming and I want it

[lime falcon]

I dont know, they changed it to 0.15 two years ago iirc, because it wasnt accurate

[quartz saddle]

Also quick question. Does on board profiles make a noticeable latency difference over non-onboard profiles

[lime falcon]

there is no difference in latency

[quartz saddle]

Kewl thanks

[polar mulch]

saw this one reddit

idk these are kinda dope

I do 0 RGB but this looks pretty awesome

[lime falcon]

#1324260627383975956 message

without rgb

[valid comet]

Opaque black
translucent black = ghost
translucent white = frost

[minor relic]

Hey, thats my keyboard 😂

What are the odds of me checking the discord right now

[polar mulch]

that's frost or ghost?

[minor relic]

I would say frost for sure

Glorious Polychroma V2 RGB Keycaps

I pick these because I thought they would go well with the case, but I would say they are more frosted then the case is

It all still goes nicely together

[verbal solar]

what port do i use or it doesn't matter?

that typo, god

[mystic rampart]

The blue one should work unless you're certain the black one is usb hi-speed or 2.0

[verbal solar]

i'm not really certain but would just use blue one i suppose

[cold spruce]

can i turn of rgb on single buttons? I want only selected buttons to lightup

[lucid cape]

Hi guys, i still have a aftermarket random detachable USB-C Coiled/Straight cable here, is it safe to use with my 80HE or do you specifically need to use the one from wooting yourself?

[lime falcon]

Yes, choose black color and paint it in rgb settings

[buoyant solstice]

Set them to 0,0,0

[buoyant solstice]

It either works or it doesn't. It won't damage the keyboard.

[lucid cape]

right

[cold spruce]

Oh I'm stupid, makes sense lol

[pearl cedar]

Yeah, the cable that it comes with is a little short for my setup, so I also need to find an aftermarket one. Is it just 8k that is the issue? Would switching to 1k make aftermarket cables more likely to work or are there other issues?

[lime falcon]

Your keyboard can still have issues even without 8k, if the cable is longer than 2 meters

[pearl cedar]

Thanks. Considering some people need longer than 2m (people with standing desks, people who route cables for super clean setups etc), it’d be good to collate a list of longer cables people have used successfully.

2m reaches just about for me, but only just, and it feels super stretched

[lime falcon]

With long cable keyboard wont get enough power

you can try getting good quality 2.5m cable and see if that works for you

[pearl cedar]

Yeah, that’s what I have in mind… I have a few I think

If I find one I can start the list 🙂

I’m going to try plugging a longer cables into my usb 3 port, as that has a higher rating (900mA) than normal usb (500mA). If that doesnt work, will try straight into the motherboard usbc port

[verbal solar]

out of box pics, it's so good

[polar mulch]

Depends, theoretically it's better to connect mouse and keyboard directly to the CPU and also isolate the high polling mouse and high polling keyboard on different USB controllers, also avoiding internal hubs too

It's probably all bs though and I don't know how to measure impact but my keyboard is on its own cpu USB controllers and my mouse is also on its own, I just plug into USB C for 80he

[verbal solar]

oh good to know, i'll see if i run into any issues. idek where my mouse is connected to but thanks for the info

i didn't know there were different controllers

actually i'll just double check

[polar mulch]

It's very motherboard specific and you need to use certain tools to verify

[verbal solar]

o

[polar mulch]

What is your motherboard

[verbal solar]

MSI B560M PRO WIFI

it's pretty old

[polar mulch]

Hmm I think Intel stuff is different than AMD

[verbal solar]

i do have intel cpu

[upbeat berry]

internal hubs shouldnt matter even for 8khz stuff

the worst thing is to connect 2 high polling and large amount of data devices together on 1 controller

so 2 2khz+ mice for example

[polar mulch]

I have 3 8k mouses (I only use one ofc) I need to do a test one day

Check what happens if they are all on same controller and mouses

[upbeat berry]

depending on the controller it could cause massive lag

[polar mulch]

What I read on blurbusters they are all chipset connections

[exotic cove]

Hello all, just sharing my latest build here also, cheers!

https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1332419975889289316

[upbeat berry]

why do you check blurbusters for this

[polar mulch]

People have ran into issues with having high polling mouse and keyboard on same usb

[verbal solar]

i have an 8k wireless mouse, audio interface with 48v and 80he connected to the back

[polar mulch]

https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?t=7618

[upbeat berry]

interesting. msi just didnt bother to print a block diagram into the manual

[polar mulch]

I don't know if any of this matters, I had a bit of fun learning about this a bit

I would have to learn how to test for latency and stability in order to be sure it makes a difference

[upbeat berry]

there we go

dw about the red boxes

but yeah looks like the typical intel stuff where basically everything is on the chipset

[polar mulch]

Only real video I saw on difference was someone testing controllers (console) for rocket League or something

He got insane latency differences with certain USB ports

[upbeat berry]

that sounds odd

[polar mulch]

https://youtu.be/82K3Pb0178g

Oops put share tracker id in url

[upbeat berry]

the only difference i could imagine is cpu connected usb controller vs chipset

[polar mulch]

Yeah and it's not clear, depends on product/company it seems, really just need a way to test

[exotic vault]

yo guys my enter button has a lot of resistance compared to my other keys. What do i do ?

[mighty nova]

If i buy the black pcr 80he i can still switch to the ghost case?

[vale drift]

how long did it took before ur 80he was shipped ? i ordered without checking how long it normally takes to be shipped

[buoyant solstice]

Depends entirely on whether or not what you ordered was in stock or not.
See your order details here: https://hub.wooting.io/my/account

[potent spindle]

What could be causing this noise on the '1' key? (blue line, the red is the print screen key)

Cable is the Wooting80 USB C to USB C
Image for connected port (B650E-i)

[lime falcon]

did u replug

[potent spindle]

8KHz with tachyon
The problem seems to always be present immediately after a start, unplugging seems to solve it

[potent spindle]

Yep, replug fix the sporadic behavior

[lime falcon]

try other port

[potent spindle]

Done, I'll see if anything changes. If it happens again I don't know what else to do except changing the switch (which has already been done)

[naive creek]

hi is that normal my wooting 80HE spam F1 himself ?

like somtime he disconnect idk why and now he do that

can someone help me

[void falcon]

Just got wooting 80HE, I play a lot of valorant competetive and just wanna know what in theory should be the best settings for the advancded keysa (like rappy snappy or sna;ppy tap) - if there is any

[fallen epoch]

#🌈│wootabase_profiles check pins here

[void falcon]

Thank you

[supple remnant]

can i make modtap spam a certain key

[spring sonnet]

is the zinc alloy case being hot normal

[buoyant solstice]

Metal is better at soaking in heat. It's normal.

[spring sonnet]

alright thanks

[warped quail]

also stops people from trying to move it

hi guys, its possible to add wootility at pc startup ?

[lime falcon]

Why tho

[civic fable]

because i want it ?

[lime falcon]

Open run, type shell:startup , and drop wootility.exe in that folder

should work

[hasty meadow]

couple more days and the wooting arrive

fuck yeah

[hidden sable]

Hi, I'm considering buying the Wooting 80HE, but I'm unsure which switches to choose. The options are:

• Lekker switch - Linear45 (L45) v2
• Lekker switch - Linear60 (L60) v2

I currently use a keyboard with Cherry MX Speed switches. While I occasionally misclick, it's very rare. I play a lot of competitive games and also program professionally and passionately. I'm generally on my PC a lot. What would you recommend?

[indigo stratus]

if you want to keep the same feel, the l45 should be good since the cherry speed silvers are also ~45g

[hidden sable]

Okay ty

[real cedar]

Am I able to like just get the keyboard and then wait for the other accessory stuff? Lol

[marble bolt]

I'm actually loving the 80he, it sounds so good and performs amazing!

[indigo stratus]

do leds burn out

[buoyant solstice]

Eventually, yes.

[lapis galleon]

yes

[indigo stratus]

how long though

[buoyant solstice]

Like any lightbulb like object

[lapis galleon]

depends a lot of factors

[winter nebula]

It will take long enough that I really would not worry about it.

[indigo stratus]

max brightness 24/7 oon the ones 80he

[lapis galleon]

most likely years

[indigo stratus]

just curious :)

[winter nebula]

To burn out? Decades, most likely.

[indigo stratus]

ok epic ill probably have a new one by then

[lapis galleon]

they will likely dim before then however

I wouldn’t really worry about it though

[winter nebula]

Yes, they do dim over time, but even that takes years.

And you probably won't notice it much since it happens so slowly.

[indigo stratus]

god the frost case is so sexy 🤤

[mystic rampart]

Led manufacturers consider eol when they’re half brightness. How long should be in the datasheet

[lucid cape]

I guess Windows-key not working on my 80HE when Tachyon mode is activated is also due to the 8k hz polling rate issue right?

[buoyant solstice]

Nope

[junior canopy]

Hey guys. Is it usual for items to switch around when it comes to availability. I mean my estimated delivery changed once from 10-15 january to 20-25, then it was 10-25 february up to today, waiting on the frost abs case from the EU-Beloega batch. But now the delivery date switched again. The case status is on its way to the warehouse but now i am on batch EU-Nijlpaard with estimated delivery 24 feb - 12 march waiting on the lekker 60. So if at any point a single item in my order is missing then the others aren't guaranteed to be waiting for the order to be fulfiled? Can the keycaps go out of stock while I am waiting on the switches and then my delivery date changed again? How does the gathering system work?

[halcyon bane]

I accidently dropped some alcohol on my wooting80he, its not much but how should i clean it

Can i pull with my hand the keys cause i dont think i got puller

With 80he

[winter nebula]

80HE should have come with a combination switch/cap puller

[halcyon bane]

Gotta find the package then

[junior canopy]

yeah pulling keycaps with your hands is ok but it might have gotten under the switches as well in which case you would need a switch puller. Alcohol isn't conductive so you should be good if it was something strong but its still suggested to do a thorough clean with isopropyl alcohol before plugging back in

[halcyon bane]

It doesnt

[lucid cape]

Is that a answer to me or to someone else? 😄

[halcyon bane]

Its drnking alcohol tho not pure

Theres no switch puller

It was just a little and moment i spilled which is like max equilavent to 1 tequila shot i pulled it other side and pulled

I cleaned now but yeah

[winter nebula]

Did you get a zinc prebuilt? It should be in a baggie in the case

[junior canopy]

yes but depending on the percentage the conductivity can be minimal. Whiskey can't cause a short i think

[halcyon bane]

It was a whiskey

[buoyant solstice]

You.

[halcyon bane]

Yes its prebuilt

[buoyant solstice]

Yes it does.

[winter nebula]

Anyway, first step is unplug it. If it were me I'd completely disassemble it and clean everything w/ distilled water/rubbing alcohol.

[halcyon bane]

Its not zinc

[winter nebula]

Yeah I dunno, you'd be the first person I've heard from on here that just didn't get one.

[halcyon bane]

Theres none, i left everything in package except keyboard and i cant find it

[buoyant solstice]

Doesn't matter if its zinc or not, or if it's prebuilt or not. You're supposed to get a puller.

[lucid cape]

Well, once i disable tachyon (8khz) the key start working again. But it doesn't always do this behaviour.

[halcyon bane]

Wait i found it i think

[winter nebula]

The caps you could pull off w/out a special tool, but pulling switches would be tricky w/out it.

[halcyon bane]

Ok i found it

[buoyant solstice]

[halcyon bane]

So should i pull the switches and keycaps ?

With this

Or just keycaps ?

[winter nebula]

You want to clean off whatever got hit with booze

[buoyant solstice]

One end of it for each.

Don't pull switches unless you need to.

[winter nebula]

Oh I see, yeah it does both

[halcyon bane]

Switches can stay ?

[winter nebula]

Depends on whether booze got on/in them

[junior canopy]

my bad. keep forgetting these work with magnets

[halcyon bane]

Can i clean them just with like towel ?

[junior canopy]

so no pins to clean i suppose the pins are plastic

so you can just clean around and be ok I believe

[halcyon bane]

Ok lemme watch this video to see how i can pull it correctly and come back

Ok im pulling them

[winter nebula]

Make sure you check the PCB as well

[junior canopy]

To shorten the question does the system hold on to individual products in a preorder until they all become available or is it random when all the individual items will be in stock for the order to be able to ship out?

[halcyon bane]

PCB ?

[winter nebula]

The circuit board

[halcyon bane]

Am i supposed to pull all keycaps then ?

Ill send photo in a bit wait

[winter nebula]

You can get access to the PCB w/out pulling all the switches. The switch plate can be peeled away from it w/ the switches in one go.

[rough tapir]

Wooting u r amazing

My order will normally arrive in late april but it'll arrive in mid march ❤️

[halcyon bane]

@winter nebula

This is the case

Im gon a clean the hair

I dont smell whiskey but around alt and spacebar i smell a little

Around WASD i dont

[winter nebula]

I'd follow the instructions on opening up the case, you'll need to in order to check the PCB

Pull the rest of the keycaps, open up the case, check out what got hit

The caps you can clean by soaking them in some warm soapy water then just wiping, rinsing, and drying

[halcyon bane]

Okay i will see thanks

[halcyon bane]

When i get to PCB what shluld i look for ?

To see if its damaged

And how can i clean around switches

[winter nebula]

I'd just look/smell for any booze/dried booze spots

[halcyon bane]

And if i do smell ?

[winter nebula]

Clean it

If it's the PCB, use distilled water or rubbing alcohol and a towel (ideally not paper towel which will leave fibers all over)

[junior canopy]

@buoyant solstice last time you checked about order EU275743H you said something was definitely set wrong somewhere in my case about the times. Can it still be messed up in some way? I know it's a preorder but I went from ready to ship to half a month to 2 months and now 3 months. It just keeps extending...

[halcyon bane]

We have 99 procent alcohol gel but not both of them

[winter nebula]

Sounds like you're talking about hand sanitizer. Don't use that.

[deft token]

any 60he+ owners who bought the 80he here? Is the polling rate difference noticeable?

[winter nebula]

It is not.

[halcyon bane]

Atm idk how but screwdriver is lost. Im gonna wait till tomorrow and buy both of them

I really dont think it went till the pcb cause the amount i spill was very little

[halcyon bane]

And also if i wanna clean the switches, is it also with alcohol

[winter nebula]

Water should be fine for them

But don't soak them, just wipe the outside

[halcyon bane]

Im gonna buy tomorrow anyways but

Rubbing alcohol

[winter nebula]

If you notice any are sticky you may have to open them up and more thorougly clean those ones

[halcyon bane]

But i can just clean them with just fiber cloth and water ?

[winter nebula]

The outside you can wipe w/ a cloth and water

Inside is lubed so it would be a bit more intensive. I'd only cross that bridge if any of them are sticky as I mentioned.

[halcyon bane]

To be honest when i opened i saw a little spots on the white case and doesnt really seem like it went through

I have this which is like max

So im thinking to pull switches that has that around it and clean them as you said

But if you think i really should open and unscrew ill do it tomorrow

[winter nebula]

It's up to you. I would open it up and make sure.

[halcyon bane]

Then ill wait till tomorrow and clean the keycaps

[north cosmos]

i feel like an idiot for asking, but can i change where the FN key is on the 80HE

[halcyon bane]

Might as well clean them all

[winter nebula]

In the time we've been chatting you could have opened it up and checked 🙂

[halcyon bane]

I cant no screwdriver lol

[north cosmos]

im trying to set up the racing profile, but you have to hold FN down for the special keys to work im pretty sure

[winter nebula]

Yes, in wootility

[halcyon bane]

I told u

[winter nebula]

Fair, I'm just saying it doens't take much time.

[halcyon bane]

Yeah but its night and no place i can buy

[north cosmos]

do you know if i can set it to toggle fn? instead of hold

[winter nebula]

Yes, Fn Lock

https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/comments/103vear/toggle_key_for_fn1/

[north cosmos]

sick ty

have had the keyboard for a solid while now but still learning all the things from the app, its so customizable

didnt even know about the racing analog imput stuff, its so cool

always missed that on keyboard and mouse

[winter nebula]

Yup! I'd also check out (if you haven't already) customizing your actuation point and rapid trigger (depending on the games you play)

[halcyon bane]

I pulled some of the switches where i suspected and i saw some leakage. However would it be late till tomorrow to wait cause all i can do is just clean it with microfiber cloth ? @winter nebula

[winter nebula]

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking

[halcyon bane]

Would it be damaged if i wait till tomorrow ?

[winter nebula]

Not really, it'll just dry up.

You can only really damage it right now by plugging it in

[halcyon bane]

I did pulled one swotch and saw like a drop so it did leaked ig

[river vault]

Does someone know how to fix ctrl and shift in games? they feel very wierd like its toggle

[halcyon bane]

Aight ill wait till tomorrow and then open the case

[winter nebula]

Maybe your actuation point is too low?

[north cosmos]

in what way do they feel weird, can you elaborate

[halcyon bane]

Last question. How do i check the switch if it went in ? Just look for sticky spots if there is ?

[river vault]

Like this, and I don't hold thouse shift and ctrl keys

[halcyon bane]

@manic sierra i saw ur old message. I wanna also clean the pcb but did u just went in and cleaned whole pcb ? Is there spots where ur not supposed to clean ?

Cleaning with q tips better than microfiber cloth ?

[north cosmos]

i feel so fucking stupid but i legit cant find it

i found it nvm

[halcyon bane]

@winter nebula When i open the keyboard tomorrow, do i only clean the top side of pcb or both sides ?

From video i saw seems like circuit is at the back

[winter nebula]

Any part that got booze on it

Sorry but I’m tapped out on answering questions about this

[halcyon bane]

Aight

[north cosmos]

so im trying to set this up, for driving in cyberpunk 2077. but the game just does work with it. if i plug my duelsense in it works just fine, WASD works just fine but these dont work

[halcyon bane]

Anyone know what i can do with the switches that got booze on it ? Is it better to clean outside of it or buy new ones ?

[buoyant solstice]

You CAN clean and relube them with the right tools. Or chuck em and buy a new pack.

[north cosmos]

you could dissasemble each one and relube them

but, alot of effort

[halcyon bane]

Relube seems a lot of work

[north cosmos]

ive done it, id rather just buy a pack of lekker v2s

[halcyon bane]

Yeah but can i still use them if i clean it ?

Outside of it atleast

[north cosmos]

yeah, but they wont feel nice without lube

no gotta clean em inside

[halcyon bane]

Does it affect the actuation thing ?

Ill buy new ones ig

And ill clean pcb tomorrow with rubbing alcohol

Sadge

[north cosmos]

so realistically how fucked up will it be if import a 60he profile to 80he. someone set up exactly what i need for cyberpunk

[winter nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/chaos-disaster-gif-23526744

[north cosmos]

is it fixable

[hidden sable]

Do you guys prefer the Lekker 40 or 60?

[winter nebula]

IIRC it will just set the keys it can, the rest will be blank and you'll need to set them yourself.

[north cosmos]

40 for me, 60 is to heavy

[hidden sable]

Aight

[north cosmos]

im fine with that, faster than doing what they did

[buoyant solstice]

No you're not

[violet crow]

Guys will tachyon still work if I use kailh sakura pink magnetic switches? It said there compatibile but it says (see notes) and I don’t know where to find the notes

[indigo stratus]

there are no notes

they are s poles so they shouldnt be compatible BUT the keyboard does work with them in either way so

tachyon should be fine

[indigo stratus]

yea i dont know where to find the notes they are referring to

also where did you buy the kailh sakura pinks

thought they only ever came in pre built boards

[violet crow]

I bought this board and it came with them https://a.co/d/5LJD7zP

[indigo stratus]

ah ok

[violet crow]

So I don’t know if I should buy the prebuilt or module

Because if I buy the module I save some money but I risk some features not working since there not lekker or gateron but if I buy prebuilt I would have to return my other keyboard

Which I don’t mind returning

I think ima do the prebuilt but I wanted to do module cuz of the l45’s

I bought the l45 on my Akko and I loved them but I don’t mind trying the l60’s

And I can always buy the lighter option if needed

[upbeat notch]

imagine that u dont have an 80he

[signal moon]

Why am I having so much trouble taking out the switches? Some come out easy, while others don't. To the point I'm bending plastic.

[bold crypt]

yeah it sucks. U need a better switch puller

[signal moon]

Damn, I bought the toolkit with the brushes and the puller. I even had a hard time with those. Is there one you would recommend?

[bold crypt]

People here recommend this https://divinikey.com/collections/keyboard-tools/products/tx-switch-puller or the gateron switch puller.

gateron switch puller works well but it's $25, the tx switch puller has some great reviews as well but it is cheaper at $8-$13. Pick one. you can get both at any website you are comfortable with. I just linked it from divine keys.

[signal moon]

Okay awesome thanks very much

[lime falcon]

get jade pros so you dont torture yourself

[signal moon]

Is that a type of switch?

[lime falcon]

Yes without shit design

[signal moon]

Lol

[lime falcon]

they are pretty easy to remove

[signal moon]

Okay thanks for the info

[exotic cove]

Check out Geon Raws too

[lime falcon]

what

[exotic cove]

Sorry did I miss something, being devils advocate lol

[lime falcon]

they have tough time pulling switches

[exotic cove]

Ahhh okay

Well my Raws are almost glued to my CF plate

[lime falcon]

[exotic cove]

Very tight tolerances, afraid to try to remove them lol

But super happy with it

[lime falcon]

yea youre guaranteed to break clips too

[bold crypt]

I think at that point they are one piece xD

[faint flame]

Is that today or tmr

[north cosmos]

i had the exact same issue, turns out its way way way waaay easier if you dissasemble the keyboard

[bold leaf]

what are the best switches to acquire thock with the zinc alloy case
i want to get gateron jade maxes but i want someone elses opinion

[lime falcon]

its difficult and maybe not even doable to achieve THOCK with HE keyboard. and also I wouldnt recommend getting jade maxes because it has friction issues, theyre not smooth when you press

[bold leaf]

mmmm

[lime falcon]

take a look at jade pros instead

[bold leaf]

aight

[valid comet]

Between jade pros and geon raw HEs the jade pros should have a slightly deeper sound?

[outer timber]

Jade pro or jade max?

[valid comet]

not much tho

[valid comet]

not max

[lime falcon]

yes

slightly

[valid comet]

cant go wrong with either really

both are amazing

[lime falcon]

Yea, but I prefer jade pros because of fully closed bottom and also I hate separate diffuser of raws, the fact that its stuck in the plate and clips are easilly breakable

[exotic cove]

PSA: Do not get Jade Maxs

Long story short had 160 of them and all bunk

[faint flame]

If my order says Departure from inward office of exchange

What do that mean

[junior canopy]

Didn't get a reply since yesterday so I'll try one last time. Expected shipping went from early Jan to 10-25 Jan to 15-25 Feb to 24 Feb- 12 Mar. The one item that used unaivailable was the pcr frost case. Now the website says I can order the lekkers and have them by 6 february but the wooting hub says that is the reason I bounced batches yet again and now waiting on the lekkers?

The wooting gets away with being overpriced due to software and customer support, but getting no reply to support emails for weeks and running after wooting team in discord is not the support I imagined based on the reviews. A quick browse through reddit and many other people have been deterred from buying a wooting for the same reasons...

[junior canopy]

I think this means it is leaving customs in your home country and making its way to you local shipping center, so it should be arriving in a few days

[midnight iron]

sometimes there's some shuffling and things they do with the batches/inventory

honestly if you're specifically waiting for just lekkers on your order i'd just cancel the lekkers part and grab one of the many 3rd party options

there's so many compatible switches now that are on par and you wouldn't have to wait

[junior canopy]

I ll upgrade to jades eventually it was just the cheap price that made me get them with the module

But still im scared that once I cancel the lekkers something else will magically become unavailable

Because before I placed my order all the items said they were in stock and ready to ship and after placing and paying it changed to pre order status

and even then if I tried to make the same cart the items were all in stock

[junior canopy]

You wouldn't happen to know about this right?

[midnight iron]

it holds as far as i know

randomly waiting on individual items to all be in stock at same time wouldn't make any sense

[junior canopy]

Because it's the only logical explanation for the batch councing other than wooting straight up lying about availability to get more orders in. Some guy was complaining about that a few months ago and I was trying so hard not to believe it but its not looking so good. If it were a bug in the shop it should have been fixed by now

[junior canopy]

yup😮‍💨

[midnight iron]

there's batch shuffling and random bugs that do pop up from time to time with some of the stuff

we've seen it happen many times before with not having enough cases etc and some folks having to wait for beluga batch for the case to match their order

[junior canopy]

Yeah I was one of them

Beloega batch and expecting mid to late Feb up to yesterday

So now that the cases arrived in the Netherlands I should be ready to ship

[midnight iron]

oh no i mean previously too. As in last year there were some shuffling and things going on with beloega that they had to fix

[junior canopy]

oh there was a second beloega i thought they were unique batch names

[midnight iron]

it is, but i mean the shuffling and stock stuff happened before with not enough cases quite awhile ago

but iirc it was eventually fixed so people got their keyboards earlier and weren't all bumped to beloega

[junior canopy]

I mean being transparent like keycaps weren't up to standart they will be delayed and zinc case paint does have issues you can wait for the v2 is nice and all but here I am waiting for switches that are in stock after waiting for a case to be manufactured even though it was available when I was paying

[junior canopy]

I hope this happens in my case too but if it doesn't clear out by the end of January I'm cancelling and building something with a knob

I've spent too much time on a microsoft membrane kb after my g pro died

[midnight iron]

i think sometimes their stock system gets a bit confused, there's been cases of it doing some weird things in the past that had to be fixed

or they shuffled and moved up something but it caused something else weird to happen. You'd have to talk to support to see exactly what's going on with your batch there

[junior canopy]

I've talked to support its a matter of when support talks to me now🥹

[midnight iron]

sometimes the reporting system can be a tad behind what's happening too. Like my optimum case shipped last year before the system even updated to say the batch had arrived and was in stock

[junior canopy]

I see. Maybe a member of the wooting team will enlighten me today

[faint flame]

It said that yesterday do you think it will come td

[junior canopy]

I live in Greece and for me it takes a day to go from customs to the local delivery center and then another 1-2 business days to arrive. For Frankfurt I thing DHL might ship it out afternoon if it arrives at the local office in the morning so it's not impossible to get it today. If not then tomorrow. Good luck!

[faint flame]

Thanks I live in uk so hopfully it does

[junior canopy]

mixed it up it was sent from Frankfurt mb. But yeah UK has good shipping too so if you're lucky you ll be getting it today lucky you

[faint flame]

That’s what it says

[junior canopy]

if you re getting tracking info from dhl now did you also get a tracking number? maybe you can use that on dhl uk site for more precise tracking

[faint flame]

Only says barcode

[pearl cedar]

Mine was with dpd. Arrived into uk on the Thursday and was delivered on the friday

[junior canopy]

@pearl cedar knows better since he lives in the UK too but if it was in the office at 8am and they do 2 rotation per day no reason you shouldn't get it in the afternoon

[faint flame]

Says in transit but it’s in the town next to me

Long day

[junior canopy]

Oh yeah it's Sunday today

Well what's one day wait compared to months

[faint flame]

It’s only for keys

For my keyboard I have to wait late feb it’s says

[pearl cedar]

Not saying our situations are related but when I ordered it said late march/early April, but I got it last friday

[faint flame]

Hopfully

[pearl cedar]

I think I managed to get switched to an earlier batch though, maybe due to cancellations or something, who knows?

[faint flame]

Well mine said late march now late feb

So hopfully mid feb or before

[junior canopy]

Might be the only one that keeps getting bumped later instead of earlier🥲

[pearl cedar]

They should definitely prioritise the people in the Discord… because… we’re in the Discord! 😂

[faint flame]

I should be getting keyboard late next week

I mean next month

[faint flame]

Fr it takes them too long to make keyboard

[pearl cedar]

Yeah… I bet they are missing out on loads of orders because of the lead times. I was in two minds whether to order or not because of the late delivery estimate

[faint flame]

Same but I wasn’t bothered about waiting but 2 months is too much

[pearl cedar]

It is. Hopefully they can speed up production

[faint flame]

🙏

[junior canopy]

The q1 he doesn't look so bad as months go by

[winter nebula]

Switch compatibility on the q1 he is poor, do not recommend. It’s fine if you like it as it is stock.

[junior canopy]

any barebone recommendations?

[pearl cedar]

The biggest thing for the wooting is the ISO options. If you just want ANSI then tbh there are other options that are in stock

[junior canopy]

I ordered the ansi anyways had a bad experience with iso keycap options

I've looked for barebone 75% he modules but only find prebuilts

[lime falcon]

other options are not as good

there is venom tkl pcb you can get

but it comes with 1 year warranty

[junior canopy]

yeah but with no definitive answer from wooting about the delivery issues other options don't seem too bad

[lime falcon]

there are many he keyboards but most of them have buggy software/firmware, bad warranty and product support

[junior canopy]

will be getting a standard layout for one and not this proprietary format with no aftermarket cases yet

bad firmware is the only thing that I'm scared of

will look into the venom board though

[lime falcon]

yea youre basically safe with wooting and geonworks venom

they are top picks rn

https://deltakeyco.com/products/geon-venom-tkl-he-pcb

this is only pcb btw

[polar mulch]

Starting to really like rapid trigger, even in marvel rivals you just get so much precision in your movement

It's kinda op being able to do insane micro adjustments with movements effortlessly

[lime falcon]

btw did you get 80he

[junior canopy]

i ll get some jades, then case and caps from kbd fans and i think it will still be cheaper than 250 eur

[junior canopy]

yeah my initial order was frost case 80he module pbt keycaps and lekker 60 v2

[lime falcon]

then dont worry about venom 😆

[junior canopy]

when i had the items in cart the all said in stock and then i got hit with the 1 month wait that became 2 that now is 3 and a half

[lime falcon]

one of the options was instock, probably black zinc 80he

[jade widget]

Where are you getting 1 year from for Venom.

[lime falcon]

doesnt geon give you 1 year?

[junior canopy]

now if I try to make the same order it says the pcr case is not in stock

when I made the first order it was all 4 in stock and after I paid it became a preorder

[jade widget]

You basically get if it works on arrival without being assembled then that's it

[lime falcon]

what💀 💀 💀

[junior canopy]

and it wasn't a timing thing because after I talked with someone on discord I made the same cart and it was still ready to ship

and they said they would have to fix it

[junior canopy]

wow

[sage helm]

i feel ya pain

waiting since november for white zinc

[lime falcon]

I didnt know that, well thats cringe

[junior canopy]

how am I supposed to test an he board without switches?? I can't even short pins there arent any

[junior canopy]

you were unlucky with the paint issues man. But at least you have a reason to wait. They made an announcement and explained the issue. I am waiting for switches that are in stock at this point

[sage helm]

yeah reasonable

its still annoying though cause im afraid that my current keyboard wont make it til arrivement

maybe uve thought about getting other switches?

[junior canopy]

so you know exactly my pain. My g pro x I had started doing double inputs and I had to manually open the switches that did it and bend their metal back to place every time. turns out it was more of a pcb issue because it died last month. now i am on a membrane waiting for the wooting

[sage helm]

deep shit

[junior canopy]

still even for that I have to get a message back from support first

to cancel part of my order

but the switches are in stock on the site

so I think it's something else entirely

[sage helm]

oh well, i believe u can just return it when it arrives (as long as ur willing to pay shipment)

[spring oar]

yeah... you just gotta hope their QC is better than wooting's

[junior canopy]

the switches were 25 eur because of the combo i think shipping back will be more lol

[lime falcon]

yea , no thanks

i thought it had at least 1 year warranty but i guess not

b..bbb...but 0.05ms difference and different layouts

also 0.05 is still questionable

80he was tested with alpha firmware

[junior canopy]

if jst was already connected i would take a risk but with cutting the usb connection and manually soldering it adn the daughterboard many things could go south

[lime falcon]

im confused, do you mean 80he jst cable

[junior canopy]

when the venom board arrives you have to cut the usb port from the rest of the board, remove the daughterboard from the back and then solder those yourself, if I understood correctly from the product info

[lime falcon]

ah
