[obtuse cosmos]

shit looks beautiful 🙏

[brave kiln]

These colors go hard.

[wide grotto]

What’s difference form it and the 60

Besides size

[earnest horizon]

8k polling rate

[primal dome]

I have developed an unhealthy ritual of going through #📦│batch_updates and order status at least twice a day

Those pics here look so sleek I can’t wait to get my hands on one

[spring oar]

that's normal, but I guess you try forgetting about it

takes a long time for water to boil when it's being looked at

[primal dome]

lol yes I should try to do that

[spark wharf]

My 80he lands Tuesday ordered owlab ti he switches 😎

[short turret]

Today it finally arrived - 80he module + frost case + Geon raw He ... I'm stunned how nice it looks as well as how nice it sounds. Assembly was nice as well. Thank you Wooting! 👍👍

[hearty stump]

Hey there, I recently made the switch to linux and I've been wondering if I can get the Media Controls to work on Spotify, as they don't seem to work out of the box. Has anyone tried this before?

[stuck schooner]

wierd question but is it intedet that my f keys and esc a on the left side a futher down than on the right side

[buoyant solstice]

No?

Make sure you pushed the keycaps in fully.

[stuck schooner]

It's 1mm across all F-keys, so it's not really bad, just wanted to mention it

[spark wharf]

Looks cool! Gratz bro!

[spring holly]

Thinking of swapping out my Zinc for Ghost.. Have the ghost still wrapped up in it's packaging.. never disassembled any Wooting so is it just unscrewing the assembly screws and changing out the case or do I need to take the key caps off, switches off, etc to swap out the case? sorry for the dumb question,

Thanks

TY

[orchid prairie]

Damn my keyboard says in transit since the 14th 👀

[wide grotto]

Does wooting have different switches to choose from for this keyboard or just the one

[wide grotto]

You live in Hawaii or somthing

[orchid prairie]

PR

[wide grotto]

Oh

Czechia

Egypt

Germany

[lime falcon]

There are many compatible switches https://wootingmods.com/switchguide/

Here are some popular recommendations

[wide grotto]

Do they offer it or do you have to replace them your self if you know

Nvm

I see there are different brands

[lime falcon]

You have to buy them separately and put them yourself.

Wooting only sells TTC KOM (RGB and POM), Geon Raw, Gateron Jade

[wide grotto]

Ah

Is it even worth the switch to other switches

[lime falcon]

Sure, other switches have different sound and feel.

[sterile mesa]

is in shopping cart for 80HE

see's a nice cable to go with it

oh nice i'll select the whi-$50 ah heck no

[wide grotto]

How does it work with like space bars do other brands sell like stabilizers or something with them or do you use the original stabilizer

[lime falcon]

Stock stabilizers are good, no need to swap them with third party stabilizers.

[wide grotto]

Alright thanks for the info

Just starting to learn the basics of keyboards in general

[sterile mesa]

first non mainstream keeb. what would you say the average bottom out force is of a mainstream keyboard? wondering if i want heavier than that

also, do induction stovetops effect the HE sensors in another room?

or microwaves, or truckers on their radio

[steel grove]

Gotta give Wooting props. Well done guys !! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ltodomiTRPQ

[quartz garden]

Ended up getting my replacement today :) Since the black one was peeling. Originally wanted the white base as well but they stopped selling it and were working on the v2.
had to keep some parts of the old base to remember lmao

[lusty lava]

I'm curiosu what people use to clean their 80he zinc cases, I was thinking isopropyl but I'm worried it might damage the coating given what I've seen about the zinc peeling for black

[buoyant solstice]

I use a ... kitchen cloth wrung in a bit of water and a drop of soap.

[lusty lava]

makes sense, I guess i'm just used to using isopropyl for my mouse and mousepad so I always keep a bottle on my desk where its convenient

[sterile mesa]

it's a nice touch, the black spacebar

[sterile mesa]

you could test the underside of it first, so if it gets ruined then at least you can't see it

also, ask the devs if iso is fine

i think i heard iso is really bad for silicone, which i don't think any of the keeb has?

[humble cargo]

its just rubbing alcohol so shouldn't have any severe effects on silicone

maybe it'll affect the surface finish somewhat but that would be it

[lusty lava]

yeah im more worried about the case itself

the nice thing is iso just doesnt really leave streaks or anything

but maybe i just need to buy some distilled water

[low token]

Just use water on silicone

[dawn needle]

Can i somehow help myself getting the top left clip off?

From the case

[low token]

There is tutorial on youtube

[sterile mesa]

do induction stovetops, trucker radios, or microwaves effect HE keebs in another room?

[low token]

Sounds american

[sterile mesa]

truckers don't use radios in whereever?

[low token]

Well they use it

[sterile mesa]

residential homes don't use microwave ovens?

[low token]

Though I don't think so there should be magnetic interference UNLESS. Keyboard touches it

@sterile mesa you got pc rig in truck?

[sterile mesa]

well i hear those things are so strong that they'll interfear with a heck of a lot

desktop speakers near the keyboard i wonder

[low token]

Well you can ask wooting support or ask in #1019755933959733258

[sterile mesa]

ah ty

[dawn needle]

i still had a screw in, thanks tho

[low token]

Well tutorial would tell u that

[forest zinc]

I just received the replacement wrist rest(dent issue), but I noticed that the silicone surface appears to have some coating peeled off.
Since this issue appeared even on the replacement product, I have to admit it’s starting to get a bit frustrating.

[frosty meteor]

can turning off rgb make the wooting 80he faster? when i already have 8k mode on

[spiral cloak]

I think 8k is fastest possible communication speed with current USB tech. Wootility won't let you have any settings on that would make it any less than that when the 8k mode is on

[sterile mesa]

i heard if you wax your modem, it might make it go faster

[final sundial]

Does the Wooting coiled cable add-on work reliably with the Wooting 80HE, or are there known compatibility or performance issues?

[buoyant solstice]

It works as it should - not sure what gave you the idea it wouldn't.

[final sundial]

Some people in another server mentioned that the coiled cable might not work properly with the 80HE’s 8K polling rate when I brought up my order.

[final sundial]

I appreciate your fast response and putting my mind at ease

[zenith plaza]

Hello! I'm new here lol. Just ordered an 80HE for myself.

[mint lance]

hi

btw how do i get the role cuz i got a wooting too

[zenith plaza]

idk. Just did the opening survey.

[buoyant solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hmRHWZSeXw

[mint lance]

thanks i have it now

[sterile mesa]

ok bought 80HE with lekkers60 and white on white

with the japa caps as well

might order the 80g springs too

should i lube those if i get them?

[crisp patrol]

If ur ordering springs that’s a question you can answer by yourself tbh

[buoyant solstice]

I would lube the springs personally, but I enjoy the process.

Just put on some binge TV at my desk, and then just do a handful of switches at a time, rinse repeat for 4-5 hours 😄

[lime falcon]

Bag lube them with GPL105

[timber flume]

hi

[astral inlet]

hey all, im pretty new to the whole keyboard modding and semi custom keyboard life, im just wondering if anyone has a guide or a video showing how to make the 80HE thcoky as all hell, ive gotten the KBDfans GT80 which i love, but really wanna make the whole sound deeper where i can.

any tips or recommendations of things i could get would also be greatly appricated

[lime falcon]

Not doable, even with third party switches.

Pretty much all HE switches are closed bottom and clacky. You can't make the HE keyboard "Thocky" because the magnet is hitting the bottom and it makes loud sound.

[humble cargo]

well if you want a deeper less sharp sound you should consider plastic case over metal

[lime falcon]

Still won't be the sound that they want.

[astral inlet]

yeah it was deeper with the plastic case it came with, but i like the feel and look of the GT80 case

[red heart]

Easiest thing to do here is learn to embrace clack

[lime falcon]

^

[humble cargo]

I wouldn't describe the sound of lekker v2s in any pcr 80he case as particularly sharp or clacky

but sure it ain't no bass monster either

[sleek spruce]

Nearly 1 year after release of the 80he ... still no background service. There's no point in talking about how good you are at creating software if you can't manage to release a small helper tool within 12 months.

Don't you work according to “agile” principals? Solve a small but important problem and then repeat the process (iterate)

I'm a little disappointed with Wooting... I have to admit.

[buoyant solstice]

We've been trying to hire another developer for months last I checked.

Timelines have forced us to prioritize certain things higher. The background service has not been abandoned by any means.

[digital ledge]

I'm curious if it would be possible to create the optimum case for 80he same with the keycaps down the line maybe

[buoyant solstice]

Only if Ali wants to make it. It's a collab. We're not the ones you need to convince.

[sleek spruce]

Software is what sets Wooting apart from 10-20 other keyboard manufacturers. But not much is happening in that area at the moment. (Okay... that's not quite right... I can see the Wootility updates)

If Wooting were to step up its game in this area, you would be years ahead of the competition. I find that a little surprising (from a strategic point of view).

[lime falcon]

Optimum doesn't want it. He's the 60% guy

Erik said yesterday that they asked him and he didn't want a case for 80HE

[buoyant solstice]

Ah well there you go.

[red heart]

Optimum 🤝 Calder

60% guys

[winged birch]

I agree, but it’s better placed in #1141096226884956181.

🙂

[sleek spruce]

You're absolutely right.. It just occurred to me again... because we are approaching the 80he anniversary.

[humble cargo]

progress on new features for the software is def a bit slower than I'd like but am guessing these types of devs aren't the most abundant out there

and at least the stuff we do get releases in a mostly polished and finished state

[winged birch]

You should make a post in feedback, or just copy paste your message from earlier. It’s a valid concern/observation I think

[winged birch]

every time they’re working on a new keyboard it is

[winged birch]

Wootility V5

[humble cargo]

that was admittedly a bit rough but it did overhaul a lot of things in one go from v4

[gusty tendon]

Hey guys; why i am not able to use wootily on my tablet?!

I am using an Samsung S10 Ultra

I use chrome…

[sleek spruce]

In an “agile” world, the most important thing is to create value. The software doesn't have to be the most beautiful in the world at first glance; it has to generate value for the customer.

Requirements change daily. If it takes a year or longer to release software, the requirements may have changed 10 times in the meantime, or the competition may have already released similar software.

[humble cargo]

well sure but the competition also has probably 10 times the developer staff at the very least

[winged birch]

I’m sure specific developers are difficult to find but it’s been quite some time. I think they could’ve if they wanted to.

Not sure how other companies are doing it if it was that difficult.

[winged birch]

tablet not supported probably. not all chrome is the same, iOS doesn’t work either.

[sleek spruce]

If you don't have 10 developers at your disposal, then you have to make do with 1-2 developers. But the competition doesn't take that into account or take a break.

In addition, most other manufacturers use OEM software that cannot be easily adapted to customer requirements (for a specific customer). And that's where Wooting can score points and stand out from the competition

[humble cargo]

I think they want to but the resources are probably still lacking a bit

[winged birch]

I’ve said this before but I don’t think the current rate is sustainable

[sleek spruce]

You have to play to your strengths in the market and not let time slip away.

[humble cargo]

like a year ago they had to put most of the effort into hiring customer support staff and maintain that fire from spreading further and there's still hardware issues like the zinc coating to iron out

[winged birch]

considering other options

[winged birch]

true

[humble cargo]

things like that can literally tank a smaller company altogether if not attended to, but it inevitably leads to other departments suffering

the cs thing seems to be mostly worked out by now though so am hoping the software side of things moves up in priority soon

[winged birch]

if they didn’t focus as much on cs, it would’ve been worse for sure

[humble cargo]

its what made them so popular in the first place after all and losing that edge is dangerous

[winged birch]

so that’s good and there’s still time to focus on wootilty

[atomic brook]

wootility dont work on phones or tablets

[winged birch]

yeah that’s what I think as well

especially now that others are so close

woot isn’t the only one in town anymore

[sleek spruce]

The fact is that the competition can produce more cheaply with low-cost labor. What others are not good at, or even really bad at, is software.

But since Wooting has fallen behind significantly in the area of software, the competition has an opportunity to catch up here.

[humble cargo]

their customer service and repairability are also very strong suits but its not as immediately apparent to a new buyer

[sleek spruce]

But many people don't see that. They only see the selling price.

unfortunately

Of course, it's easy for us to talk here... and the truth is obviously more complicated than we currently assume.

But that's the customer's view from the outside.

[gusty tendon]

Why not???? Is the same web based browser etc!! Supose to work!!

[winged birch]

The price to build quality OEMs can offer is pretty much unbeatable and it has been for quite some time. It seemed kinda odd that Woot focused on build quality with the 60HE v2 so much as it’ll increase the price even more, but it might work out well.

[gusty tendon]

This is one of the reason i chose an keyboard with web based software! What you mean is not working with phone and tablet!

[winged birch]

it’s not..

[gusty tendon]

Why?!

[winged birch]

Chrome on iOS is not a chromium browser

[atomic brook]

device matters

[winged birch]

probably the same for android

[gusty tendon]

Still is a web app

[atomic brook]

like andriod or apple or windows

[gusty tendon]

Supose to work on ent browser

But its the same… zero difference

[winged birch]

linux, windows and macOS works

[gusty tendon]

Why not android and ios?!

[winged birch]

cause the browsers are different if not more

[atomic brook]

its just not supported

[gusty tendon]

I know but is hilaroius …

[jade widget]

webhid is not a thing on android or ios that's why

[atomic brook]

because its not that vital

[gusty tendon]

Thats why suppose to be there tii

Because is not so vital

[winged birch]

odd that it’s not on android

[gusty tendon]

But supose to be supported

[atomic brook]

oh yea

[gusty tendon]

….. this is what i try to say here too

[winged birch]

you don’t have a PC?

[gusty tendon]

400 euro keyboard with none support

[winged birch]

[atomic brook]

[gusty tendon]

I have but i use the keyboard on my Samsunt Tablet S10 Ultra

[lime falcon]

🤨 Wooting can't do anything about it.

[winged birch]

does wootility say it needs chrome or a chromium browser?

[gusty tendon]

Look:

[winged birch]

if it says chrome, that’d be misleading

[winged birch]

“on your computer”

[gusty tendon]

I will return the keyboard and chose and similar one half price that suports android too

Is a joke….this thing…

[buoyant solstice]

We have zero control over whether or not IOS and Android will let a USB device communicate with a browser app.

[winged birch]

do keyboard exist that have an android app?

[atomic brook]

dawg u wont find one

[gusty tendon]

A lot

[buoyant solstice]

We sell gaming keyboards marketed for PCs, not handheld smartphones and tablets. That's just how it is.

[jade widget]

hate to tell you but there are no keyboards that will support that

[atomic brook]

its not a wooting issue

[winged birch]

any gaming ones?

[gusty tendon]

Yes

[winged birch]

if they have an app, surely an app can communicate over USB?

[gusty tendon]

Same like wooting…

[atomic brook]

if ur sure go for it honestly. just make sure its true

[gusty tendon]

Is web based app like wootility

[atomic brook]

it wont work dawg

[lime falcon]

I have bad news for you. You won't find a keyboard that supports android

[winged birch]

which board?

[gusty tendon]

One of my friend have one!

[jade widget]

web based is not going to work...

[atomic brook]

not the same thing

[buoyant solstice]

Can you name this supposed keyboard? I am intrigued.

[atomic brook]

web based is not the same as andriod support

[gusty tendon]

In web you set up the keyboard the settings stay on the board!

[jade widget]

because it doesn't work on Android at all it's not a thing that is supported on Android

[gusty tendon]

Thats the purpose of web app right??

[atomic brook]

it wont work on android

the browser doesnt matter

[winged birch]

you can still use your PC to change the setting and then use it with your tablet (if it provides enough power).

[atomic brook]

it should yea ^

i do this a lot

[winged birch]

it’s not like the keyboard doesn’t work at all

you just can’t change the settings

[gusty tendon]

Yes i can; but i want to change on the go not swapping the cable

[gusty tendon]

I have more then 1 month using this one

And i save the profiles on the board is working

[humble cargo]

why one would even consider a wired keyboard to use with a tablet

[winged birch]

maybe your friend uses linux on his tablet?

[gusty tendon]

Only Wootility is not working on browser on the tablet

[humble cargo]

a 200+ gaming kb at that

[gusty tendon]

Same table s10 ultra

[jade widget]

the keyboard works, your web browser won't be able to send or read any data from your keyboard

[gusty tendon]

Only the keyboard is another brand

[wind tiger]

yea uhh, webHID does not work on android

[buoyant solstice]

Again - What keyboard is this?

[winged birch]

you know which keyboard your friend has?

[wind tiger]

that is not a wooting thing

[still pond]

gaming on android should be a bannable offense upvote if you agree

[humble cargo]

anyways you should be able to set up a profile for it in wootility on your pc and then stick to using that when hooked up to the tablet

[gusty tendon]

I will ask him and let you know; 120euro he paid for it

[atomic brook]

go for it honestly, if ur sure it works and it is a dealbreaker, i dont see any problem

[winged birch]

clash of clans is good, fuck u pal

[humble cargo]

how often do you really need to get under the hood of your kb settings anyways

[atomic brook]

mobile legends

[still pond]

"hihihaa"

[humble cargo]

its been months since I last touched wootility

[gusty tendon]

Around 400euro no android support… joke…

[winged birch]

https://tenor.com/view/clash-royale-clashroyale-angry-gif-5302587

[atomic brook]

look its 90% less pain than league

and 60% of the fun

[humble cargo]

I dunno seems like a silly thing to nitpick on imo

[buoyant solstice]

Again - Android has no Wooting support. We can't force Google or Apple to add support.

[lime falcon]

Read

[gusty tendon]

Ok!

Thank you!

[winged birch]

actually

woot should add proper keyboard setting on the board itself

maybe that’s what his friend uses

changing actuation points, rapid trigger, etc

would be good

rather than just RGB FX 😭

[gusty tendon]

https://jsaux.com/products/rgb-docking-station-for-steam-deck

I have the keyboard connected on this dicking

[winged birch]

😭😭

[gusty tendon]

I dont see any reason why wootility is not working to change actuation point rapin trigger colors etc…

Basics of the web app make sense?!

[buoyant solstice]

Because it's a genuine nightmare to try and do that with no screen to see settings on 😄

[winged birch]

because android..

[gusty tendon]

Hmmmm ….

[winged birch]

the keyboard is a screen pal.

[buoyant solstice]

Anyone who's owned a Ducky keyboard knows the pain of changing settings with weird button combinations and prayer.

[jade widget]

the reason is your device and everyone else's android/iOS device doesn't support it

[gusty tendon]

Maybe guys from wooting can have a look on this one

I guess we are in 2025… right?!

[jade widget]

there is nothing they can do Google would have to add support for it to work

[atomic brook]

i still dont believe a keyboard ur friend has can do that

but if ur sure of it, i would like to see what it is

[gusty tendon]

Is a chinse model i am not sure the name

[atomic brook]

no worries

[gusty tendon]

But i will ask him and add here all details

[atomic brook]

just curious

[buoyant solstice]

Only way I can see this working is a custom app, not a website - And there's just no market for us there. Why would you use a tablet to configure your PC keyboard? 😄

[gusty tendon]

But yes i am sure he can change all the settings like i do on windows

But he can do it on his s10 ultra

[gusty tendon]

Why not?!

Because i paid for the keyboard to use it where and how i want!

And i supose to have support for that!

Is not an alibaba one right?!

[buoyant solstice]

We never marketed the keyboard for tablets or phones. You assumed a use we never said it would do.

Similarly we don't market our keyboards specifically for consoles, as Sony and friends don't want to provide the same connectivity to the keyboard via a website.

[jade widget]

I think you might be the only person who has ever complained about it - so I gueess lack of demand would be why

[still pond]

400 euro keyboard and it can't even microwave my hotpockets!!!!!!

I paid precisely for that

[gusty tendon]

Ha ha funny you Arc!

🤭

[atomic brook]

welp ur talking about a company that evades taxes

soo dont expect much

[jade widget]

that is definitely not going to translate well

Nvm! Is ok; i will return this one and go with something else… the only diference will be the prince… less then half of this one

https://tenor.com/view/sad-smh-stop-ew-nope-gif-5408215

[humble cargo]

what you should have done in the first place is to buy a bt keyboard

[jade widget]

sounds like a plan if you want support for changing settings on your tablet maybe buy something with the ability to change settings on the keyboard or has a dedicated app

[humble cargo]

the things that basically exist for this purpose

[winged birch]

I don’t think ChromeOS support it either so I could see a market for it

a whole 5 people but still.

[humble cargo]

I bought racing slicks for my shitbox and now I can't steer in the rain, garbage ass tires smh

[midnight iron]

maybe we're missing out on the gigantic phone setup crowd though

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c207v3q9w08o

i picture someone with a phone connected to keyboard, mouse and external monitor

[jade widget]

samsung dex really taking off

[buoyant solstice]

Do they not have libraries?

[midnight iron]

korea has a big coffee culture where you just hang out in coffee shops when you meet friends

[winged birch]

weren’t there mnay osu players playing on tablets?

[midnight iron]

and the students decided they wanted to combine that with study so now they all study in coffee shops, but some clearly take it a bit far lol

[still pond]

I think these were for inputs?

oh

[lime falcon]

Most osu players use them

but there are mouse players too

[midnight iron]

it is pretty impressive starbucks basically changed an entire generation here into coffee hang out people

[humble cargo]

buying a wooting for your tablet is like some going out of your way to make things as complicated and expensive as possible for you trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, at some point you gotta take a step back and see it for what it is, a stupid fucking idea

[still pond]

"I bought this $500 controller and can't even use it on osu???"

[winged birch]

Compatibility doesn’t seem to be explicitly stated anywhere.

Even on the 60HE+, this is what’s stated. Which isn’t true.

[gusty tendon]

All operating systeams means something else.

[still pond]

the OSes in question are for PCs

[winged birch]

ye, they should state that

don’t think ChromeOS is support either

[humble cargo]

it is but its a fair point tbh

[winged birch]

Sue them bro, you’ll win

[humble cargo]

I don't think they support ibm os/2 or kobol either even if they're technically pc OSes as well

or various other legacy systems

[gusty tendon]

I try to help… my point is good… just some box people maka maka here without understanding my point of view…

[humble cargo]

its just that your particular usecase for a gaming kb like this is an extremely niche one, and would be kinda hard to argue for implementing support when it affects so few

[gusty tendon]

Not need to be few…

Need to be more support for user need.

Needs.

[humble cargo]

idk I could be wrong but for the wooting android userbase to even be in double digits would be a pretty generous estimation to most I think

[atomic brook]

those that need wootility on it

yea

[humble cargo]

and googles lack of api's makes it unnecessarily difficult to implement even if there was a larger demand

its not that big of a deal having to do your kb profile setups on a pc and be confined to that on a different platform, imo

like again how often do you really need to keep changing your kbs functionality on a whim

[gusty tendon]

Was nice to be able anytime you need it

[humble cargo]

yeah but after a certain point you kinda have your preferences figured out and won't find much reason to reinvent your wheel, at least I don't anyways

I did spend quite a bit of time tweaking my various profiles for the first couple months using it but its been like a year since I made any real changes

[winged birch]

Do you have a PC or cheap laptop? You could use that to tweak your settings to see if you actually like the board or not.

You can return it too but if you’re not from The Netherlands, it’ll probably be pretty pricey.

[toxic wren]

hi there. i just got my 80HE today and wanted to ask if there is any chance to get macros to work like pressiing a "macro key" and the key just following the before saved key pattern till you again press the "macro key"

[winged birch]

No, but you can fill out this survey and it they might add macro support in the future: #📣│announcements message

You can use something like AutoHotkey in the mean time though.

[humble cargo]

dks is about as close to macro functionality as you'll get in current wootility but still can't loop or latch keys with it

[toxic wren]

thanks ❤️

Hi guys, I preordered my 80he and I remember receiving a trial for Refrag for CS2 as kind of like a cute bonus reward. I never really played the game but recently my partner got into it and wanted me to learn as well but I can't find the code. Was there an expiry date on it?

[brisk ruin]

I think that code was valid for about a month

[verbal solar]

oh damn, i missed it by a long shot then :(

[last stream]

Every time I set my Wooting 80HE to 8K polling rate, the keyboard reconnects every few seconds, intermittently. Sometimes it happens very frequently and other times only occasionally, but it always occurs once I configure it to 8K. I have also tried updating the keyboard firmware, but the problem persists.

I’m using the original cable since this keyboard is less than a week old. It’s connected to the USB 3.2 port on my Gigabyte AMD A520M S2H motherboard.

[lime falcon]

Use included cable and try other USB port.

Make sure the keyboard is plugged directly into the motherboard.

[last stream]

I’m using the original cable since this keyboard is less than a week old. It’s connected to the USB 3.2 port on my Gigabyte AMD A520M S2H motherboard.

[lime falcon]

Have you tried different cable?

Try decreasing RGB brightness

[midnight iron]

Try another port, it could be the current port you’re using isn’t getting enough power (can be a lot of reasons - such as too many devices plugged in, that usb port just being a bit dodgy with stable power etc etc)

[last stream]

Including the keyboard, there are four devices connected, and the RGB is indeed at 100%, but I didn’t think this could have an effect.

[lime falcon]

Try different port and if you still have issues, decrease the brightness to 70%

[last stream]

I already tried changing the port and setting the RGB to 65%. This is an issue I’ve noticed since I first received and connected the keyboard. Something worth mentioning is that the reconnections happen more frequently when it’s plugged into a USB 2.0 port, but they occur less often when it’s connected to a USB 3.2 port.

[lime falcon]

Odd. Do you have another USB cable to try?

[last stream]

No, but one point to highlight is that I have the original cable rolled up with the clip it comes with.

[lime falcon]

Keep the cable straight

[quartz garden]

idk i tried using wootility on the international space station and it wasn't working

[hexed eagle]

Is a split spacebar wooting 80he planned for the future?

[buoyant solstice]

Not currently, no.

[gloomy plover]

is it normal if my 80he is like hot

[upbeat berry]

hot or just warm

also if you got a zinc housing its even more expected to not stay cool/cold

[lime falcon]

If it's warm, that's normal. Keyboard can get a bit warm because of the LEDs

[gloomy plover]

the bottom is like hot hot

[lime falcon]

🤨

[gloomy plover]

and its metal case

[lime falcon]

Turn down RGB brightness

[gloomy plover]

ig ill go from 10 to 5

[gloomy plover]

thx man ill let u know if its still hot if u care

[azure geyser]

can someone give me good set up for my keyboard that is fast i play a lot of fps game i mainly use my space bar, wasd, c, v, shift, ctrl, 12345

[tiny ruin]

so if I buy it like this, the case will still come with the foam, daughterboard, and JST cable?

[lime falcon]

Yes.

And a USB-C cable

[tiny ruin]

great thank you!

[silent parcel]

i have ordered this, is this the whole keyboard?

[lime falcon]

Yes

[gloomy plover]

stillpretty hot but less hot by like 2 %

[silent parcel]

bruh why am i being told that there may be additional vat/gst charges after i have made a purchase

[jade widget]

Tells you before you add it to cart and before you purchase

[buoyant solstice]

What country?

[paper pasture]

[frank flicker]

Hi guys - new to custom keyboards, I have a few key cap sets from KBDFans, which are cool, but they don't have RGB shine through, my office area is quite dimly lit and I now realise how much I prefer shinethrough. The PBT black set I got with my keyboard from Wooting will still do the job. I do prefer having icons though. Anyway in general are ABS keycap shinethrough worse or better than PBT? It seems to be quite difficult to find keycaps with a cool legend design and shine through.

[white vine]

Regarding the black zinc case blistering issue: how long can you make a claim with Wooting if this happens? I’m concerned that if I buy a case now, before the fix is released in 6 months, it might develop damage let's sayt a year or two after purchase, and then they could say it’s too late for support. How does Wooting handle cases for people who buy the case before the fix is available?

[buoyant solstice]

Within the warranty period, provided you reach out when you observe the issue.

[white vine]

On the wooting website is says: "Every Wooting keyboard has a minimum 2-year up to 4-year manufacturer’s warranty from the date of shipment.". How many years of warranty is it for the coating exactly?

[low token]

Look on website of product how much warranty does it have

[vivid yew]

My 2 months old wooting 80he zinc allow paint has already started to coming off and this is really sad considering how expensive it is

[atomic brook]

contact support

theres also a yt vid on it

oh you reposted this in other channels

[vivid yew]

Just one

I really got so frustrated looking at this

[sharp moon]

yo guys, how to make this buttoms work?

just dowload profile to anouther version xd

[violet garnet]

There are a list of buttons you can assign

[sharp moon]

I don't quite understand, I mean that I downloaded a profile for a game that was made for a different version, the question is how to activate f1 f2 on this keyboard in xd software

[buoyant solstice]

You imported a 60HE profile into a 80HE. So you gotta add the missing keys

[sharp moon]

yeah yeah how to do it in soft

thats the quastion

[sharp moon]

ty!

[toxic wren]

DE layout yes but does everyone have the problem the stock enter key not letting out enough of the rgb?

[buoyant solstice]

That's normal on ISO.

[toxic wren]

okay thank u ❤️

[nova nexus]

ANSI > ISO confirmed

[buoyant solstice]

The symbol is offset due to how the stabilizer has to be oriented for this L shaped key.

It's something we've adjusted for future keycap set manufacturing, though I believe it's a rolling change. So no way to tell if a set or board ordered has the old or new alignment.

[wide grotto]

What does does wooting do about the blistering issue send a new one or make you send it to them to fix

[midnight iron]

Theres a variety of options, depending on what you pick. One of the options are you keep the case and full refund on cost of case. Another is plastic case shipped to you and partial refund.

There’s a couple more options I can’t recall off the top of my head.

[wide grotto]

They won’t just ship you a new version of the same case but plastic?

[midnight iron]

We don’t ship the same case because if you experienced the issue once then it will trigger again due to the same factors. We are working on a new coating solution for black but until that’s done we won’t be shipping another black case to replace a blistered one

There’s a recent video on our YouTube that goes over the issue in more detail that might be worth of watch if you want more in depth breakdown on it

[wide grotto]

Alright

Oh so it’s just the black one

I’ll probably wait till they fix the issue to get the 80 either way

[midnight iron]

That could be 3-6 months away. I’d recommend a white zinc case if you are worried about the issue

it’s also something that only happens to 1% or less of users who have a particular combination of factors involving things such as resting hands on case constantly and specific sweat acidity

[wide grotto]

Oh

Alright

[winged birch]

bad keycap design but you can look for transparent switches, those will help.

[potent apex]

Alr, which is the thockiest and best sounding. GEON raw, GEON Raptor v2, OWL labs ti

[midnight iron]

Of those 3 the raw he, although none of them are really thocky

raptor is a tad higher than raw and ti he is definitely a louder clack sound

I don’t really love the raptor v2 sound wise, but they are very stable

[lime falcon]

None of them. Wait for Lekker Tikkens, they'll sound deeper than all three options that you mentioned.

[potent apex]

Yeah there’s no thocky switches from what I’ve seen

Any date on the Lekker Tikkens? Or is it still Q1 2026 with the he60v2

[lime falcon]

Q4 2025

No exact date yet.

[potent apex]

Mm yeah I’ll probably just get some geon raws in the meantime bout to get my wooting 80he soon

[north cosmos]

highly recommend the geon raws

[last stream]

Is there automatic profile switching?

[buoyant solstice]

Officially? No, not yet.

But here's a fan project: https://github.com/ShayBox/Wooting-Profile-Switcher

[winged birch]

no. in a future update there will be.

a future update between now and 2030

[rare stream]

Oh noooooooo

My paint fell off :(((

[lime falcon]

Reach out to Wooting https://wooting.io/support

[rare stream]

Hope they'll be able to just send only the cover so I can transplant the keyboard into it easily

Have they changed the paint they use during the last year?

[humble cargo]

afaik they're doing tests with sweat-like chemicals and stuff to find a coating that resists wear better

[rare stream]

Heh, i just started rubbing it because it looked like oil had piled up there. But it was wrinkly paint

[misty tree]

Do I need to do any recalibration if I mix switches ( in my example leeker60 v2 and ttc magneto rgb) besides removing and readding the cable?

[lime falcon]

No, keyboard auto-calibrates.

[misty tree]

should the bottom out mm switch in app or it would stay at 4mm or is that because its mixed switch layout?

Thanks btw. ❤️

[lime falcon]

No, it's not because you mixed switches. 0-4mm in wootility is actually 0-100% for now.

Wooting is working on a switch selector, you'll be able to choose your switch (For example TTC RGB) for faster and more precise calibration.

[misty tree]

Thanks for the info you are amazing.

[potent apex]

so does the raw zync have the same like chipping issues as the black zync case

[buoyant solstice]

Zinc* but no and yes. It has had some similar issues where the coating breaks down and the case starts rusting.

[potent apex]

damn guess its GT-80 then'

shame

really liked the raw aestetic

[north cosmos]

thats what they do 😄

[potent apex]

is it that big of an issue to the point where I shoulnd't be ordering the case?

[woven spindle]

The raw cases seems to be more like a way to send out to an annodizer to customize to whatever color u want

[buoyant solstice]

Not really.

[potent apex]

$100 for a case that can rust seems crazy is all

[buoyant solstice]

Welcome to metal.

[potent apex]

somehow my dyma raze has made it without any rust over 5 years lol

[woven spindle]

lol facts metal is pricey

[buoyant solstice]

It has a coating just like the black and white zinc cases. If it didn't, it would just white rust over time. You'd still have to sand that off before adding anything else.

[potent apex]

so i'd expect similiarly priced products to function the same if not better lol

[woven spindle]

Ooooooo

It’s not a hard annodized part I assume or do people really just want that raw look

[potent apex]

I mean, not every metal keyboard will scuff -> rust.. just saying

but from your pov doesnt see mlike that big of an issue since its raw anyway

and not painted or anything

[buoyant solstice]

Different metals react differently, and need different coatings.

[north cosmos]

razer uses aluminium. alumium doesnt visually "rust" the same way because there is a thin even oxide layer on it that prevents it from getting worse. completely different than zinc

[buoyant solstice]

And again - The Raw Zinc is not RAW. It has a protective coating. If it didn't, it'd rust.

[potent apex]

Oh I don't buy razor products. Just comparing to a similar full metal alloy keyboard that I've had currently

[north cosmos]

apples to oranges, both are fruits. just very different types of

[potent apex]

I mean not really lol. But not the place to argue. Seems llike the paint issue isint a big deal anyway so thanks for the info

prob still gonna get a szinc case

[north cosmos]

according to wooting its like 1% of the consumers had black zinc issues

mine had issues (to sweaty when gaming ig). so i got a replacement white zinc + wristrest for free

[potent apex]

good to know wooting stands behind their product. I appreciate that from a consumer perspective

biggest reason why i dont want to get a nuphy or some cheaper alternative with worse software

[north cosmos]

i mainly choose wooting because i like the semi small dutch company that does their own R&D. instead of copying it lazily

[woven spindle]

Honestly why I picked Wooting and they seem to be pretty receptive to feedback and want to really have the best experience for all

[potent apex]

just need to find keycaps that will look good on the raw zinc

but be professional enough it can sit in my office and not be offensive to clients

[north cosmos]

take a look in #1070668460905988106 for some inspiration

[azure geyser]

can someone link me to the best set up for 80he competitive settings

[viscid gale]

Has anyone at Wooting said anything about fixing the current toggle system? If I make a toggle in my FN layer, I need to press FN to toggle it on, but not to toggle it off. So if I were to want to make my E key a toggle in the FN layer, it would immediately toggle off when I press E while typing. This seems like a massive oversight that makes toggles significantly less useful. Also, there's no way to modify the color that the key is when toggled on for some reason, like you can with the caps lock key. I wouldn't think fixing these things would be too hard.

[jade widget]

Sounds like something to post in #1141096226884956181 if you wanted it to be seen by the right people

But yeah it has been brought up before I believe

[viscid gale]

I posted about a week ago in the feedback channel but I don't think anyone saw it. Granted the post was more about making toggles visible in the light indicator, but I mentioned improving the way toggles work with FN layers. Should I make a new post just about that?

[jade widget]

Yeah new post for different feedback

Could also look at #🤖│community_dev if you're trying to make your own stuff

[viscid gale]

Alright, I just posted it. Thanks!

[spring holly]

Can't just buy a case?

[jade widget]

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

[spring holly]

Awesome, thank you

[foggy dome]

would It make sense to put a tape mod I saw on videos it kinda has one already

[lime falcon]

Probably not worth it, 80HE comes with preinstalled PET film which acts as a tape mod.

[foggy dome]

alr thanks

[cold tulip]

I'am looking for somoene who can make me pickup macros on my wooting 80he like a tutorial DM me for fortnite

[worn compass]

Macros are bannable dude

Atleast in Competitive play

And is just generally frowned upon in the community

[winged birch]

Cheater!!!

The 80HE doesn’t support macros natively.

You could use DKS but that won’t be as effective as a scroll wheel would, so just use your scroll wheel man.

Like everyone else.

[rare stream]

Nicely handled by Wooting, could choose a range of options, and I opted to get a partial refund and the ghost case 🙂

I could also wait for the V2 of the painted one, or fully refunded.

[north cosmos]

yeah they give good options. and yeah full refund and going for a third party case is also a option

i went for a white one

[rare stream]

white 3th party one?

[north cosmos]

nah the white zinc v2

supposedly its stronger than the current black one

[rare stream]

Lets hope for u

Im going to slap the ghost ontop of the zinc bottom

[sterile apex]

My stuff just arrived

[buoyant solstice]

[sterile apex]

should I lube the switches first :D?

[buoyant solstice]

Subjective. No one can answer that for you. It's going to take some hours though.

[nova nexus]

I've lubed one switch in my life and that was more than enough

[north cosmos]

this was my exact idea, please let me know if it works 😄

[sterile apex]

I think I´m going to do it, otherwise i will never 😄

[orchid prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/today-stuart-little-run-gif-11168162

My wooting 80HE is arriving today

[marble flume]

I spendet on this 8 hour

GL

[sterile apex]

fml it takes ages

I read that geons need to be lubed because they arent well lubed from factory

[old perch]

dunno my guy, just got the keyboard smooth af

oh nvm, i got with the default keys.

[lime falcon]

Factory lube is decent, but hand lube is always going to be better.

[sterile apex]

fml i started already going to finish it now

[midnight iron]

they’re pretty decently well lubed honestly lol

I think the springs could use a lube but the switch itself was fairly decently lubed already

[sterile apex]

what do you mean with the sprigns could use a lube :D?

I thought I have to lube the stem only 😄

[sleek veldt]

Lube everything

Even lube your fingers

[sterile apex]

my fingers are now property of the USA

[clear patrol]

For sec i thought you ordered 3 whole keyboards but its just the parts to build it

[lime falcon]

Lubing springs was enough. It eliminates the spring ping and sound becomes cleaner.

[vapid wave]

is it just me the 80HE wrist support isn't staying in place well

[buoyant solstice]

It's a slab of silicone at the end of the day. Depending on the surface it is on, it will be harder or easier to push around with force.

[sterile apex]

does it matter what lube I use ? I just bought the stuff wooting offered

and use it on the geons :S

nearly lubed everything already

[deft thunder]

I’m new to keyboard modding and was wondering if anyone knows if this particular switch is any good/would work with a wooting keyboard and it’s software: Mount Tai GT HE Magnetic Switches

[lime falcon]

They will work, but they're not worth it anymore. Sound and feel won't be as good as other switches.

[sterile apex]

Is it normal that one LED is a little bit off?

[potent apex]

Dang yall what do I purchase white or raw zinc

I can’t make a decision😭

More keycaps seem to go with white

[sterile apex]

Why are those led so different compared to the others :S?

[native comet]

i have white and it looks really clean, i didn't like how raw looked tbh

depends on what keycaps you'll use and also your setup tho

[native comet]

check wootility, maybe it's some kind of effect

[sterile apex]

damn wtf ...

I didnt expect that keyboard to be so good man

[sterile apex]

you were ríght

[native comet]

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-cat-rigby-cat-meme-silly-cat-gif-4266327784702766845

[sterile apex]

Set to white now but it’s not fully even, I’ve saw a comment that this is normal

Is that true?

[native comet]

yeah it's just that you can see every led separately

mine looks something like that too

[sterile apex]

ok thank you 🙂

does a usb c switch affect performance, I dont think so right?

man typing is actually fun now 😄

[lime falcon]

No

[native comet]

na you're good

both are fine

[sterile apex]

ok thanks 😄

[native comet]

ikr, enjoy it

[sterile apex]

now I need to find a nice compact usb c switch

there are so many settings, no idea where to start 😄

[native comet]

personally i did actuation points first, then rapid trigger (if needed) and then checked the key mapping

i don't use rgb

then repeat for each profile you wanna create

[sterile apex]

thank you 🙂

two more questions though

8k polling rate worth it?

and does visual feedback work with geon switches?

[native comet]

i mean, you have the 8k option, there's no point in not using it, unless you want the more flashy rgb effects and extra brightness

but even using 8khz leds are pretty bright

idk what you mean by visual feedback

[sterile apex]

that thingy

but it works, I just restarted the browser

[lime falcon]

Yes, it should work with Geon Raw switches

[native comet]

oh yeah ofc

it works with any switch, it just shows you how far you're pressing down

[sterile apex]

I want 8k polling and flashy rgb 😄
never had a rgb keybord before 😄

[native comet]

it's calibrated automatically so it will always be accurate no matter the switch

[native comet]

you could use flashy rgb in your typing profile, which doesn't need the 8k polling rate

[sterile apex]

nothing rgb at all.. my pc is completely dark 😄

[native comet]

and use 8k for games

[sterile apex]

good idea, thank you ❤️

MAN I'M SO HAPPY :D:D:D:D

[native comet]

hell yeahhh !!!

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-freaky-cat-cat-meme-tongue-out-gif-1492882876567450372

My setup is black and white and white pc case

[native comet]

yeah white will be a very nice fit then

go for it !!

[potent apex]

I’m too indecisive

Need to find some keycaps first

[native comet]

if you can, choosing custom keycaps on top of that would make it even better

i have a set from pbtfans and they're really nice

very good quality

[atomic brook]

where do u live?

in context of where u should look for keycaps

[potent apex]

NA

[orchid prairie]

I can’t describe how much I love this thing, I got it today finally

[spark wharf]

lol, just found out how redicilous the Erupean taxes are... I heard somewhere that Wooting had free shipping for EU and thought it will be very cheap to buy the keeb there... But I was astonished when realized the price of the cart in EU is even more, than the same cart for me in Vietnam. I bought a set of a 80HE + rest wrist + travel case, and with an expensive shipping to VN it all costed ~$316. Whereas the same set costs ~$320 in EU 💀💀💀

[buoyant solstice]

Welfare and services aren't free.

Most countries have around 20% VAT

[spark wharf]

fair enough

[humble cargo]

yeah afaik we've never had free shipping

[barren dawn]

Just recieved my 80HE and gotta say it sounds amazing and plays even better 😄

First game 94 aim rating based off Leetify, counter starfing felt like cheating tbh

Aww thanks! They’re the SA Macrodata Refinement set that Signature Plastics did for the show “Severance”, so I thought they were appropriate for work 👩‍💻

[woven spindle]

I watched like a good bit but then my Appel TV trial expired 😭😭😭

And I’m too cheap to get an actual subscription

[weary leaf]

Are those purchasable?

Yes! https://spkeyboards.com/collections/sa-keycaps/products/sa-macrodata-refinement

I'm just waiting for the dust cover, then setting up the stock 80he, buying mods next week

[potent apex]

Oh damn you didnt buy the drop variant dashers, you actually bought the legit ones from the TV show

What a build

[buoyant solstice]

Actually usable unlike the abomination showed in the series.

[potent apex]

lol you can buy the abomination for $499

$599 actually

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atomickb/mdr-dasher-keyboard-for-work-thats-mysterious-and-important/pledge/new?clicked_reward=false

[buoyant solstice]

I saw - Keyboard enthusiasts border on the insane at times.

[potent apex]

I definitely think $200 for keycaps is too much, severance be damned

But $499 for that is also insane

That’s why I was upset I missed the DROP MT3 Dasher keycap set because it was like maybe $100 and looked almost the same

[potent apex]

What number pad is that?

Might honestly copy this setup haha

[placid torrent]

Keychron Q0 Max
It’s heavy AF just like the kb

And I don’t disagree about the price of the keycaps… I winced a bit (ok a lot) but blue is my favorite color so I figured I’d be happy with the look and I am

[woven spindle]

New wooting80he gang 😎arrived just before I had to head back to work so took it in with me

[potent apex]

Very based

[sterile apex]

that case is so nice 😄

but I´ll buy a GT-80 case I think#

not sure yet

did someone buy that housing?

[weary leaf]

Same, next week 👀

[teal adder]

is there a site for finding cool custom cases?

[sterile apex]

I dont think there are many options besides KDBfans

[buoyant solstice]

You've got... three? options. Holy80, Bone80 and the GT80

[low token]

Or make your own with github files..

[jagged monolith]

holy 80 looks really good

[sterile apex]

true

whats that type of keyscaps named? https://kbdfans.com/products/mtnu-800-r2

[low token]

You have name in link

[sterile apex]

nono sorry I mean the form "style" of those keycaps

you see how its rounded kind of?

[jade widget]

That's the MTNU profile

[sterile apex]

do other companys call it mtnu as well?

[jade widget]

Na it's exclusive to GMK that specific profile

[sterile apex]

do you maybe know a universal word instead :D?

[jade widget]

If you want something rounded that's more universal you could try look into xda profile keycaps

DSA or MSA as well

[sterile apex]

Prefect, thank you 🙂 !

[kind crag]

i just got the 80he, is there a more indepth tutorial on the rgb section of the keyboard and more ways to customize it?

as in like, can i make a custom wave color?

[ornate pike]

GT80 is pretty nice, but compared to frost dk if its a me thing, collects dust noticeably

[exotic sable]

Is this normal nothing is working

[lime falcon]

Unplug and replug the keyboard

[exotic sable]

That’s worked thanks

[spring holly]

What's 'Alternative Press Behavior' ? in the Advanced section when you choose SOCD ?

[wide grotto]

He didn’t try that first lol

Is it hard to setup an 80he? (Im asking cuz its coming tommorw)

[drifting iris]

support guy stopped responding to my email 😔

[lime falcon]

Nope, Wootility software is very easy to use.

Also check out this video https://youtu.be/his10sTphG4?si=kkbNZzzlwuluO9Ij

[lime falcon]

They'll get back to you as soon as possible. If it’s been over a week with no response, send a follow-up email.

[dull urchin]

I've already posted it on community support, but does anyone know what happens if the zinc alloy coating comes off here?

[flint cipher]

Do I have to remove or keep the black foam pad in my new wooting 80HE case?

[buoyant solstice]

Up to you. The foam's there to dampen the noise from the keys

[flint cipher]

@buoyant solstice , Do you know if it can be a problem because of eletric static/conductivity?

[buoyant solstice]

I don't see how?

[flint cipher]

I mean, the backside of the board is touching it

[buoyant solstice]

No?

And even if it was, it is ESD safe.

[digital ledge]

My 80he is finally coming tomorrow, the shipping took so long

[distant spoke]

Built this for my wife

[potent apex]

Crisppppp

[native palm]

Same here after one respond, he/she is dumping me

[native palm]

❤️🌹

Fishy

[dense oyster]

Man this is so sick

Could we get the name of the keycaps?

The case is am assuming white zinc?

[upbeat light]

having troubles to reconnec my keyboard after resetting my pc

what should i do

[drifting iris]

very insightful man

[native palm]

Yeah my order is on hold

[drifting iris]

i think i got dumped too :( its fine tho

LOLOLOLOL

[lime falcon]

What's the issue exactly? Your keyboard doesn't work at all ?

[upbeat light]

keybord works but is not being recognized as a device to connect it to wootility

[lime falcon]

Are you using Chrome?

[dense oyster]

did u allow ur browser to scan the devices

this happened to me aswell

am sorry I don't remember how I solved this

[lime falcon]

If you are using Chrome go in Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Additional permissions > HID devices > Default behavior and choose "Sites can ask to connect to HID devices"

Alternatively, you can use the desktop Wootility app instead of the browser version.

[distant spoke]

it is white zinc with
Taihao keycap
https://shop.tai-hao.com/products/t22rb602

And wooting x TTC RGB switches

[dense oyster]

Thank you

[sour lark]

im not sure if this is the right channel
But is there any reason to buy Zinc over plastic on the 80HE if i dont care about the sound and just how pressing they keys feels?

[buoyant solstice]

Then you won't feel any difference.

A metal case is mostly about heft (aka. not pushing it around as easily on the table) and the sound keys make when resonating against the case.

[sour lark]

i have my keyboard on a big mousepad so pushing it around mostly isnt an issue? i guess

[buoyant solstice]

Worst case you can always buy a metal case down the road. It's a pretty easy process to swap it around.

[sour lark]

a friend told me it feels like higher quality
but i dont want to spend an extra $100 just for something i wont notice

thank you for your help tho!
I came a step closer to making my decision

[chilly leaf]

came in today

[woven spindle]

If you buy a complete the case is 45 retail and it’s pretty nice if ur gonna be moving it here and there

[agile pagoda]

I mean plastic cases inherently have a little bit of flex to them. Zinc doesn’t. Also, if you hold the plastic case next to the zinc one it’s a night and day difference. One feels like a typical keyboard. The other feels like a brick.

[woven spindle]

^ can confirm thing is hefty chonky boy

[sour lark]

so i assume the casing being a brick is better

[woven spindle]

To some people prefer the slight tone changes it provides while others like a brighter tone that plastic might help bring out but if you don’t care about the weight then go plastic IMO espically if you don’t need a travel case

[agile pagoda]

Also if you buy the zinc one it comes with a travel case so you’d want to factor that in with the $

[agile pagoda]

I think the plastic has a deeper tone than zinc

[woven spindle]

My main reason for the zinc tbh thing could also double as a home defense

[sour lark]

also should i buy the keycaps in my language or get the standard ones?
Does it even matter

[agile pagoda]

Fair. You could def give someone a concussion with it

[agile pagoda]

Whatever you desire, everything is programmable in wootility

[sour lark]

i dont really look at my keyboard at all and i can just change the Y to Z
so i dont really think its worth the extra $30 right

oh nvm i have to buy them anyway
there is no standard keycaps🤦‍♂️

[hazy galleon]

I hope that in the future Wooting will make a mouse of the same quality

[sour lark]

a Zinc mouse!

[woven spindle]

Zinc g502 weighs 3Lbs

[dense oyster]

One of the best things I've ever done was switching to a lightweight mouse

[weary leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

[cloud nebula]

Same

[weary leaf]

still don't know which i'm getting in a few days

[dense oyster]

Get wooting

[rapid pasture]

i have the wrong role btw i have the 60he

[dense oyster]

[rapid pasture]

it says wooting80he

[dense oyster]

Where?

it says ihaswooting

What rank are u in valo?

[rapid pasture]

i mean wrong channel

my bad

huh?

[upbeat berry]

we only have channels for recently released or upcoming products. once a device has been out long enough the channel gets axed usually in favor of people just talking in other channels with appropriate topics regarding what you wanna talk/ask about.

[solid sand]

i have JUST ordered my wooting 80he! cannot wait man

hype me up 🔥

[spiral stump]

WOOOOOOting

[solid sand]

:))

thank you

[potent apex]

Ugh I still can’t decide on keycaps for a raw zinc case

[solid sand]

do you have to get a specific kind of keycaps for the 80he? not sure if that's a dumb question i'm kinda new to this

[potent apex]

Nah, you can use any style as long as they aren’t something weird like low profile

MX, GMK, SA, MY3 etc

[solid sand]

oh ok

also will the new closed bottom switches work with the 80he?

coming to the 60he v2

[midnight iron]

Yes

[solid sand]

well that's awesome

[spiral stump]

all HE switches that work on the 60HE work on the 2HE/80HE too p sure

[solid sand]

yeah I do get that

I was wondering since they are built a little differently right

good to know :)

[tired crescent]

Finally got this for my birthday today 😭

[solid sand]

ayyy congrats

it looks awesome

what game are u playing first?

[tired crescent]

cs2 for sure 🥹

[solid sand]

bet, have fun :)

[autumn mango]

hi, has anyone had issues with their usb c port disconnecting when the keyboard is moved? seems like my port is abit loose, looking for advice if anyone has had this issue before

[agile pagoda]

80HE?

[autumn mango]

yea 80he!

[agile pagoda]

https://youtu.be/AnyG_a1kosg?si=X5p6OgLFywSSNnl9

Your JST connector is likely loose. Pop it open and check the connection.

[autumn mango]

oh man, will do that then, if it is will i hve to do soldering etc? or is there an easy fix for it?

anyway appreciatethe link, ill check it ouy first

[agile pagoda]

No. It’s the cable connection that can pop loose between the daughterboard for usb connection and the main pcb.

It’s a little plug

[autumn mango]

OHH that little plug, ok ill try to replug it and see if theres a difference

[spark wharf]

Oooh my god she's soo beautiful!! I didn't expect it to sound and look so FABULOUS 🤩🤩🤩

I like that soft fade after pressing the key by default, I will not even change the basic RGB effect

btw Wooting has very good shipping partners, it arrived in 9 days to Vietnam... I ordered a couple of times some stuff from EU and it took about 3 weeks to come

[solid sand]

looks beautiful

I do think the basic rgb effect will get old after some time haha

but congratulations 🎊

[spark wharf]

I had been using the very same effect (RGB from the left to the right) for 2 years on the previous keeb.... But we'll check

[spark wharf]

Thank you!

[solid sand]

oh dang

I guess it's just not for me lol

[spark wharf]

I am not sure, but can't you save money, if order the keyboard with only 1 set of keycaps?..

like if choose 60he module + case + only one keycaps set

fair enough

[autumn mango]

thanks for your help btw! its definitely better now, but still getting a disconnect here and there when i move my kb position, definitely not as flaky before though

[open brook]

the JIS layout is so good, wish it was more popular! only downside is small backspace, better enter, spacebar and extra key.
Plus bonus kana

[digital ledge]

Got my 80he today feels like a brick compared to my 60he and its only plastic can't imagine the zinc case

[proper pine]

Hey guys how many of you write a lot with the 80he? For gaming I have no issues. Now that I write a little more, I find myself lifiting up and floating my wrists while typing which gets difficult quite quickly and makes the wrists hurt.

Any one has the same experience here? Does a wrist wrest fix that?

[spring oar]

It'll feel like steel

And that's pretty metal

[median beacon]

Hey got a Quick question bc I am still on Version 5.0.2 in Wootility v5 for my 80he is the New 5.1.0 Beta 6 stable? Or should I stay I only see betas Last Versions I was Away for a time

[pastel edge]

Doesnt happen to me, but I assume that a wrist wrest would help quite a bit with that.

[bright lion]

Does anyone have any picture of a keyboard with a half pudding and half normal pbt keys combination

[sour lark]

i never really owned a keyboard with plastic casing
is the 80HE plastic light enough to a point where it keeps sliping away when clicking frequently on it?

or is this just on really smooth tables

[spring oar]

nah, it wont slip because the rubber feet on it is goated

[delicate sonnet]

hi guys

just coped a 80he

[buoyant solstice]

[marble vale]

You’ll love it

[sullen junco]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I saw a reseller in Australia today. Is this just someone who has imported a few units in bulk or is wooting reselling with someone here?

[buoyant solstice]

We don't have any official/partnered resellers.

But we do sell to companies that resell them on their end. I don't recall any in Australia though.

[sullen junco]

Cool, thanks. I thought it would likely be just a company who imported a few directly to resell themselves.

[midnight iron]

Check here: https://wooting.io/authorised-resellers

It’s a newish page we have

[buoyant solstice]

Ah right. We have that now 😄

https://tenor.com/view/what-a-time-to-be-alive-simpsons-gif-14708682

[sly nest]

This might be a silly question, but are there any plans for a new version of the 80HE or an even better model from Wooting? I’d like to buy one, but I’d rather not if something new is already in the works. 😉

[quasi thunder]

just got my 80he with the ghost pcr case and i was curious what other cases are there available aside from the ones from wooting and that kbdfan's gt-80 keyboard case what other cases are there available for the 80he?

[lime falcon]

No, there's no reason to make 80HE v2 or anything like that.

[buoyant solstice]

We haven't announced any plans, no.

[lime falcon]

KBDfans Holy80
AIM Bone80

[quasi thunder]

ah thank you so much 🙂

[sly nest]

Is there an aftermarket cover for the 80HE that I can use to protect it from dust when it’s not in use?

[buoyant solstice]

See: #🌟│wooting80he message

[sly nest]

Thank You so much!

But I no longer see an option for the 338 × 129 × 18 mm dimensions.

[midnight iron]

that one is a custom request you have to message, although i believe some aliexpress sellers just sell 80he specific covers these days

Dust covers for Wooting 60HE/80HE

Just found this 😉

[agile pagoda]

Keyboard shouldn’t be disconnecting at all. How to you have it connected to your computer

[bold rose]

@buoyant solsticePlease agree to my friend request. I want to ask you something.

[buoyant solstice]

No thanks. You can ask general questions here.

For customer support please use the website: https://wooting.io/support

[bold rose]

What are the requirements for me to become an authorized dealer of Wooting?

[buoyant solstice]

Please use the contact form linked above.

[bold rose]

I contacted them before and they said Wooting is not considering having an authorized dealer for the time being. I consulted them around July.

[buoyant solstice]

Then I suppose you'll have to contact them again.

[bold rose]

okk

thankyou

[potent apex]

Authorized dealer of wooting?

Isint the whole point that wooting runs their own store / not on Amazon or other websites lol?

[winged birch]

They have a few already

[buoyant solstice]

It is easier for customers to shop locally in some regions and countries that we can't easily sell in - like China and India.

[bright lion]

Hello there! Does using the holy80 change a lot the sound profile?

[winged birch]

Yes.

[rare stream]

@north cosmos most important part is it's still a heavy keyboard

And f- me, my keyboard is filthy

[north cosmos]

not bad

[rare stream]

Yea, I like it more than the Zinc actually

[sly nest]

Are there any coupon codes for the Wooting 80HE? 🙂 The 23% VAT in the EU is making the price a bit painful.

[lime falcon]

No discount codes

[bright lion]

YOU’RE EVERYWHERE

Does it make it less deep and creamy?

[winged birch]

https://tenor.com/view/ascending-favorite-song-levitating-higher-being-feeling-gif-3087134657902166887

[winged birch]

Eh, not really either afaik

With the Holy60, the sound profile stays the same but it just changes the way it sounds lmao

[bright lion]

Wait what? I’m confused XD

[winged birch]

Yeah not sure how to explain it.

When you have music in a room playing with the door closed, it’s a bit muffled

with the door open, it’s louder and clearer

[agile pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/james-franco-same-different-smile-still-same-gif-12526313

[winged birch]

for the Holy60 (and 80 as well) it’s kinda the same but not really clearer, if your switches have any chatter it’ll be more pronounced.

[winged birch]

Precisely

[bright lion]

Gp80 a safer choice I guess then?

[agile pagoda]

To be more specific, since its got holes, it doesn’t have an enclosure for the sound to resonate as much, but also doesn’t muffle any noise. So both good and bad.

Or neither good or bad

Just…different…but same

[winged birch]

Since you’re going with a deeper switch (with not much chatter) anyway, it‘s not that big of a deal.

[bright lion]

Look I think we both know you’re pretty much my keyboard sensei now along with jed

[winged birch]

lol

[bright lion]

So which one should I go for?

[winged birch]

Which one do you like more?

The aesthetic.

[bright lion]

My heart is troubled sensei. I love the holy80 but I’m a sober middle aged man and not sure it matches anything else in my office

May I showcase my battle shed so you might more accurately judge?

[winged birch]

Of course

[winged birch]

Hmmmmmmm

The Holy80 does look interesting here but I think the GT-80 would look cleaner.

The groves in the top case of the Holy80 catch a lot of dust as well and are kinda a pain to clean.

[bright lion]

That’s what I think too, sensei, the holy 80 might be too bold and risky

[winged birch]

Are you using/planning to use a wrist rest with your 80HE as well?

[bright lion]

Yes

I got the Wooting one which might have been stupid given our current discussion

[winged birch]

Yeah, I don’t remember/know if the 80HE’s wrist rest matched up with the GT-80 or Holy80.

It kinda works. The stock case is 346mm wide and the GT-80 is 344.7mm wide.

but then the Holy80 is 359.5mm wide 💀

[potent apex]

The thing the gripes me about the GT80 is the two tone ugly brass

And the fact that it’s $30 extra for shipping

[river owl]

Just got my wooting

[high forge]

hey guys, I'm not sure what I'm looking for but I need keypress to be "lighter", not sure how to explain that

I feel like either keycap should have lower height or switch should require less force to be fully pressed, is it something I can mod in 80he?

[buoyant solstice]

Spring swapping.

[high forge]

can I just replace whole switch?

and how do I check what springs I have in my 80he?>

[buoyant solstice]

If you find a switch that comes with a lighter spring? Sure.
Your 80HE has Lekker60V2 switches preinstalled.

[high forge]

Is the key going to "bounce" back faster?
