[upbeat berry]

the keycaps come in little plastic trays

they are presorted in the order they also are on the keyboard

[humble dome]

oh

for me it said its seperate on the order

[upbeat berry]

yes

[humble dome]

so its already applied or?

so i wont have to put the caps on alr

[upbeat berry]

no its not but you dont need to figure out which goes where

[humble dome]

oh alr

[weary leaf]

Unless you are on ISO like me, i get two trays and i had to mix and match from both to get the proper result :D

[upbeat berry]

well depends

if you want a us layout on iso it also is basically correct

[nova nexus]

ANSI > ISO confirmed

[upbeat berry]

no ansi sucks

[nova nexus]

[upbeat berry]

fullsize is god tier though

if only calder would agree and finally start working on a refresh

[nova nexus]

One day, we pray

[humble dome]

i got a iso pcr/plastic ghost

[weary leaf]

yeah but the language is what matters

[tribal furnace]

How long does it take for my support ticket to get seen?

i thinki i gotta buy a new wooting

[lime falcon]

Currently 1 to 2 weeks.
If you have an issue with the keyboard, wait for their response. Wooting will take care of it.

[humble cargo]

company mutiny until new fullsize approved

[upbeat berry]

@nova nexus lets do it

[nova nexus]

We have the power

We could hold the Discord hostage until our demands are met

Rename every channel to WE WANT FULLSIZE

[real gulch]

fullsize bad

[trail token]

[worn compass]

Would much rather have a separate num pad than full sized keeb

[polar kestrel]

Imagine a keyboard but the numpad is on the left side

[humble cargo]

don't have to imagine, it exists

[golden ember]

GGs!!!!

[thin sigil]

What is the default switches that come with a prebuilt 80he? Im contemplating whether I should do a custom build or prebuilt but if the switches are the same might aswell do prebuilt

[proven hearth]

lekker v2

[granite halo]

Does anyone have tikken yet

[proven hearth]

a bunch of people

[hollow dragon]

issue came back once again, this time on the Q key. might disable tachyon mode for the time being

[buoyant kite]

How are they?

[lime falcon]

They're nice

[proven hearth]

They’re good if you’re coming from lekkers

[buoyant kite]

Yeah i got the og switches in still, so its considered an actual upgrade or more of a its nice to have

[lime falcon]

It's a nice upgrade

[buoyant kite]

Hmm gonna consider it then, cheers

[fringe pike]

finallyyy

[weary leaf]

[brisk fern]

not certain if this is the right chat for this but im having massive issues with my 80he rapidly disconnecting itself, I have checked the cable and it seems its not secure in the keyboard, I've only had this keyboard for 3 months and I've taken great care of it? is there any fix for this?

[carmine ether]

I want to mod a 80he, does anyone have recommendations on how to make the sound thocky? I will be ordering the GT-80 case and I was thinking of ordering a foam+FR4 plate. Is this good and any thocky key switches recommendations?

[vocal wharf]

That’s it? 🥀

[proven hearth]

tikkens werent the sound profile i wanted

[vocal wharf]

Eh I care about feel more

Thinking about buying a wooting 80 tomorrow

[proven hearth]

they felt weird to me but normal for other people

they felt almost like they were tactiles to me

[cobalt merlin]

There's a big sound profile set of videos wooting has made that you can compare with.

I'm really enjoying my Wooting x TTC KOM POMs with the stronger spring and the stock 80HE plate.

That said, I did order a FR4 plate just to try out.

[proven hearth]

PC would work better than fr4 if you want a more muted sound

thocky does not exist for HE

[vocal wharf]

Rn Unionwell and orchid best for me

[proven hearth]

idk what those are

[cobalt merlin]

My coworkers described my keyboard as "popping bubble-wrap" today.

[cobalt merlin]

waifu switches?

😉

[proven hearth]

ws flux deep clacky are close enough

also pink

[cobalt merlin]

Those both look like they have a really nice stem design. Are those POM?

or at least the pink one is pom?

[proven hearth]

dunno if these work on a wooting

[cobalt merlin]

don't see why not

[proven hearth]

gateron low profiles arent compatible

[vocal wharf]

They should they work on other boards

[vocal wharf]

They not low profile

[cobalt merlin]

they look like any generic HE switch of the right kind for RGB

[proven hearth]

pink one?

[atomic brook]

its just a shit image

its squashed lol

[proven hearth]

oh

[cobalt merlin]

lulz

gateron jade work on wooting

can't imagine gateron orchid wouldn't

sure, the jade is a mini

[proven hearth]

magnet strength (or lackthereof) can also effect compatibility

[cobalt merlin]

ah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8SFYv5z3Hs

well there's a dude running wooting 80HE with GT80 case and gateron orchids

[proven hearth]

then that answers the question

[cobalt merlin]

Unless there's a case interference with HE80 that doesn't exist with GT80.

but it at least works on the board/plate

[proven hearth]

wooting boards are accepting to a very wide array of magnet strengths so it shouldnt be an issue unless it is super super weak

[cobalt merlin]

can't be sure about that pink unionwell thing

unsure what the model # is to even try to find a reference

[vocal wharf]

I mean they did a Unionwell sound test before

[cobalt merlin]

well there we go then

[vocal wharf]

It’s impossible to get pink ones unless you use Superbuy

https://kprepublic.com/products/unionwell-dark-jade-magnetic-switch-ink-jade-switch-rgb-linear-for-magnetic-mechanical-keyboard-pre-lubed-long-spring-pom?_pos=26&_sid=ad877a4e5&_ss=r

[cobalt merlin]

well that's pretty great that they're giving you the flux and travel specs

for the user wanting to know if they work, that may help.

[grizzled shoal]

i have the same issue here, i play alot of osu mania, and i have tried reconnecting the actual power connector like last time and it seems fully secured so idk

[austere adder]

Guyyss is the 80HE light brigther than the 60HE? I got the white 80HE and the light seems to be stronger, but not sure if it's the light or the keyboard color 🤣

[lime falcon]

Should be the same

Maybe 60HE RGB is a bit brighter

[austere adder]

Then it must be the keyboard color, I made everything a bit darker because it felt so bright hahaha

[nova nexus]

Brightness min

🖤

[austere adder]

and it should get brighter when I get the tikkens haha

[jagged rose]

where can i download the wooting software?

[nova nexus]

https://wootility.io
For web based software -^
For application download if you want to -v
https://wooting.io/wootility

[nova nexus]

Correct

[buoyant solstice]

The 80HE has the lightbar, so technically. Also no 8khz polling.

[magic saddle]

i got the 80HE but why do i not have this role?

[pastel edge]

founder role

[buoyant solstice]

It was given to anyone who ordered the 80HE during the founder's campaign.

A similar role will be given to 60HEv2 purchasers in the next month or so.

[magic saddle]

OOOHHHH

got it got it !!! thanks for informing

[buoyant solstice]

IHasWooting is a role everyone gets for owning any keyboard. The others are time limited. 🙂

[magic saddle]

too bad i just purchased my v80 on the 29th 😭

[magic saddle]

yayyyy noted

also gekonoliseerd

[buoyant solstice]

[balmy briar]

i just bought a wooting 80HE

[frozen anchor]

I just got the 80he (module). Every time i screw the top plate to the bottom, the keyboard stops working. Then I open it back up, replug the cable, it works again. Do it all over again and once i tighten the screws it stops working again 🫠

[buoyant solstice]

Sounds like the daughterboard JST cable isn't set in fully, and goes loose when you close it up.

[frozen anchor]

That's what i would have diagnosed aswell, but I already tried putting it in as much as possible with finger nails. Thanks, guess I'll try again

Still the same issue. Sometimes the lights go out, then on again, then out again

I managed to close it and the lights are on. But when slightly touching the usb cable it can turn off

[lime falcon]

Did you make sure that both ends of the JST cable are fully in?

[frozen anchor]

Yes, I did that on my last try. It seemed to be fully in before.

I think the JST is fine now, it's only that the usb c cable plugs out very very easily

[lime falcon]

Odd. Try another USB cable if available and plug it into a different port on the back of your PC.
If the issue persists reach out to Wooting https://support.wooting.io/

[frozen anchor]

Will do. Thank you!

[thorny imp]

Hi all, are the wooting keycaps on par with pbtfans?

[weary leaf]

What does the button do on the 80HE to the right of F12?

[nova nexus]

Swaps between current and first profile by default

I changed mine to cycle between all profiles instead

[buoyant solstice]

I changed mine to F13

[chilly sierra]

does anyone know how I can get the german keybinds I am kinda lost, I have the keycaps and at first I had the german letters like "ä, ö, and ü" (this is copied from my browser) and now they are gone and stuff like the hashtag is also not to be found

[buoyant solstice]

Change your keyboard language to German in your operating system.

Keyboards don't know what a language is. That's all your OS

https://help.wooting.io/article/166-how-to-change-windows-keyboard-layout

[chilly sierra]

it is set to german though

[buoyant solstice]

If it was, you'd be able to type those letters as normal.

[chilly sierra]

os so for some reason this key types the german ä

I am so confused

[buoyant solstice]

You're using the browser version of Wootility?

[chilly sierra]

nope

[buoyant solstice]

Then it should display your keyboard correctly in Wootility.

[chilly sierra]

so I somehow managed to fix it even though in wootility it doesn't show the right keys they now work as the key on the keycap

thx for the help

[zealous ether]

anyone have an idea when the ram usage feature will be available for the lightbar on the 80he?

[stone turret]

Usually wootility shows the layout of the language you had selected when you opened it, if you change the layout afterwards it doesn’t update (at least not for me) I have to close it and open it again.

[burnt bluff]

Hey guys im planning in ordering the white zinc case, what screwdiver should I prepare already to replace my plastic case w zinc

[buoyant solstice]

PH1. Just like the video guides instruct.

[burnt bluff]

Oh thank you, sorry didnt Watch that one yet, probably should do it already to see if im even capable of doing that swap haha

[warm dawn]

ah...the package is finally here.

so excitedddd

[summer basin]

guys why does my wooting keyboard skip on the c button

[humble badger]

Just ordered my GT-80 Case 🙂
I'm looking forward to it 🙂

[worthy marlin]

Anyone here using jade rubys? Wondering if I want to switch out my tikkens for them

[hollow dragon]

had tachyon mode off and it happened again, this time on J key. something is definitely wrong with the pcb

[upper garden]

what colour

[humble badger]

Anodized Black
And the Accessories Anodized red

[upper garden]

what keycaps are you gonna use? The wooting ones?

[humble badger]

I ordered Custom ones

[upper garden]

got pics?

[humble badger]

Just a pic from the design.
Just waiting to get sended

[upper garden]

silent hill themed?

[humble badger]

Yes 🙂

A Mix of Silent Hill and like Horror 🙂
Bloody themed characters

[upper garden]

beri beri nice

[humble badger]

Thanks 🙂

[humble badger]

Unfortunately, it is difficult to find keycaps in the German ISO layout.
That's why Costum

[ornate marten]

Hello. Is there any information about the 80HE v2? Is it planned for 2026? I’m planning to switch up my setup next year. Of course, there are many companies with HE boards, but if Wooting will make the next version, then I think I’ll just wait for their keyboard.

[cobalt merlin]

80HE already has the updated MCU and polling rate of 60HEV2.

Unsure what 80HEV2 would even be.

[proven hearth]

80he came out last year, there wont be a v2

[cobalt merlin]

Yeah.

[proven hearth]

or not anytime soon anyways

[cobalt merlin]

One and Two came out and 60HE, then 60HE+, then 80HE, then 60HEV2

If anything, I'd expect a full size V2 before an 80V2

[proven hearth]

maybe a split spacebar option but even then itd probably just be called the 80he

[cobalt merlin]

That is something I'd pay for another board for.

[ornate marten]

Ok, thanks. Other companies release new keyboards every six months or so (RT 0.005 or 0.001). I wanted to know how things are with Wooting in that regard.

[proven hearth]

(RT 0.005 or 0.001)
is completely useless

those are just marketing numbers to make the keyboard seem like its better than it is

and it would massive increase the amount of unintended inputs with such low rates

[ornate marten]

I think I’ll just buy a new case for my 80HE next year. Good luck, everyone!🫡

[dense torrent]

what's the function key's dot for?

also how do I change the RGB colors for RT effects layer?

[upper garden]

click on the dot to change the rgb

[dense torrent]

Preciate it

[fossil tulip]

Hello everyone
What is the best sounding switch atm?

[cobalt merlin]

too subjective, listen to the videos and decide for your ear

[fossil tulip]

I have the ttc kom lubed but I was so out of the scene I just wanted to know what is up

[cobalt merlin]

I really like my Wooting x TTC KOM POM (which I lubed)

[proven hearth]

my #1 pick is ws flux deep clacky but they’re more on the expensive side even if you get them from aliexpress

[cobalt merlin]

I went for stability.

(and spring)

[fossil tulip]

Yeah me too

[cobalt merlin]

I might have lubed a bit too much on some, since they feel just slightly squishy

just some do though

[fossil tulip]

But is there like a stable and more pleasant sounding switches like the KOM

[proven hearth]

fluxes are really nice sounding and has pretty good stability

[fossil tulip]

I'll check them out thank you my man

[proven hearth]

theres a sale going on 11/11 for aliexpress and here are some links for them

[fossil tulip]

Thank a lot for your time bro

[proven hearth]

gotta save money where you can in this rabbit hole and getting more people on fluxes is always a good thing

[fossil tulip]

Last time I remember people praying on the TTC KOM xd

[cobalt merlin]

praying?

[fossil tulip]

Yeah like worshiping them

[proven hearth]

when the first ttc koms came out (purple and red) i hated how they sound

[fossil tulip]

They sound fantastic you have a fine taste my man

[proven hearth]

they sounded so… scratchy

[midnight iron]

all ttc stuff sounds quite chattery pre hand lube

[cobalt merlin]

Mine sound a bit muted.

hand lubing really made them nice

[midnight iron]

they really need to start lubing them from factory because with lube they sound 10x better

[fossil tulip]

Yeah I agree

Sno what is your switches?

[proven hearth]

gonna swap em to the 60he v2 when it arrives but for now https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1431748454698323998

[midnight iron]

i don't really have a main right now because i test so many switches they it changes every few days

once some cf plates for split spacebar come out then i'll configure my spare v2 module as my main board though, but i need to get some keyboard stands or something because it's too many keyboards sitting on the desk

[fossil tulip]

What are your top 2?
I wont tell wooting you betrayed them

[midnight iron]

i really like the sparks, but they need to be added to switch selector to function well

magnet is a tad weak in them

they're like an interesting mix of muted but very distinct bottom out

[fossil tulip]

Hope they add them then

[midnight iron]

well i gave our product guys with the switch selector testing machine spare gateron sparks so they will have the data to add them

[proven hearth]

kbdfans isnt making a split space cf plate for the gt60 case

https://tenor.com/view/h2di-cat-dead-cat-depressed-cat-laying-gif-11402833644907079653

[midnight iron]

meh kdbfans plates weren't great anyway, i like keyboard fun shop ones

i think i'll end up with optimum again for my personal build lol

[proven hearth]

are they from aliexpress?

[midnight iron]

yeah keyboardfunshop is ali store

[cobalt merlin]

I'm so happy that you have the switch rating profile and uniform sound tests available. That's really helpful and appreciated.

[midnight iron]

will be case tests coming soon too, i got the gt80 already sitting in a box

[cobalt merlin]

I don't care too much about sound, as long as it's not stupid annoying clacky.

But the stability ratings and descriptions and videos are nice.

[midnight iron]

i can't really do it for 60he because there's 1827439198 cases for 60%, but 80he is doable since it's only like 5 cases or whatever lol

[cobalt merlin]

I can't imagine how I could improve on the 80HE zinc cases. I'm super happy with it.

[weary leaf]

AliE sale starts in 1 hour 20 mins woot

[jagged ibex]

How do I get the role of owning a 80HE?

[buoyant solstice]

You don't. You get the pink one for owning a keyboard. Via our hub.

[jagged ibex]

Not sure I follow :/

[lime falcon]

https://youtu.be/6hmRHWZSeXw?si=9Fyyg4bYsV5TyH1W

[jagged ibex]

thank you

[blissful lodge]

i am considering getting my first Wooting. I prefer the 80HE form factor but want the latest and best tech. Does anyone know what is the difference between the 80HE and 60HE v2?

[winter nebula]

Mainly form factor and the option for split spacebar on the 60v2

[blissful lodge]

so if i get a 80HE with the new Lekker Tikken switches, it's basically the same as 60HE V2 expect form factor?

[winter nebula]

Yes

[blissful lodge]

thank you!

[blissful lodge]

Sorry 1 more quick question, is there an option for me to order the 80HE module without any case if I want to get say a KDBfans case?

Seems like it’s forcing me to select at least the plastic case.

[midnight iron]

you can remove the plastic case in the cart if you want, but i'd highly recommend you leave it because it includes the daughter board + usb cable

for $10 that's a really great deal plus having a spare case

otherwise you have to buy the daughterboard when you order the kdbfans case and a usb cable, which would add up to the $10 anyway

[lime falcon]

Yeah, it's better to buy a plastic case for $10, some people have issues with KBD daughterboard

[blissful lodge]

Thanks guys, super helpful🙏🏻

[torn birch]

Got my wooting finally 🥳

Honestly, all I can say is wow

This is better than I expected

[sour lark]

is the zinc wooting 80he with the white case in the respawn store just a completely normal wooting except it has paint issues? or why can it not be sold at full price anymore?

[midnight iron]

It’s the v1 coating batch and we have a v2 coating that’s improved now

[nova nexus]

Purchasing the v1 version at a steep discount acknowledges that this version has a less durable coating and is not valid for warranty claims related to specifically the coating.
Non-coating related warranty claims are still valid for the full duration of the warranty period

[sour lark]

oh so considering i dont really value cosmetic imperfections as much i should probably just get the case from the outlet store

[nova nexus]

Indeed

[sour lark]

maybe im not realising something but when i pick the 80he+zinc case option i cant see what keycaps and switches it comes with

or do i have to buy them individually considering there are no options to choose from

[nova nexus]

Module doesn't come with keycaps or switches, prebuilt does

[sour lark]

i saw the case flexes a lot cause of the gasket mount isnt this really bad for games that need precision or if u are just someone who clicks strong

[buoyant solstice]

The whole switch plate moves as one. So... no?

[sour lark]

well i was thinking u would want the distance that your finger needs to press a button to always be the same instead of the plate moving down to make clicks softer?

i play games like geometry dash where i have to repress a button very consistently, i remember when my aluminium keyboard started to slightly flex it completely threw off my clicks

[dusty notch]

The Wooting sounds so good stock

Truly an upgrade from my huntsman LOL

[winter nebula]

The 80he gasket is very stiff to the point that I can’t detect flexing at all in regular use. If I press a key with unreasonable force it gives just a little.

[neat pagoda]

whats the best switches for wooting 80he?

[dusty notch]

pretty sure its just preference

go listen to tests, i like the geon raw they sound good 😩

[neat pagoda]

ill see them

i wanna buy the 80he this christmass

[dusty notch]

good for you man

[neat pagoda]

i dont know if its really worth it, because of the price tag. But i wanna get it

[neat pagoda]

Do u have one?

[dusty notch]

i got mine TODAY, its so peak

[neat pagoda]

oh nicee

[dusty notch]

i feel like its worth it so far, no regrets LOL

[proven hearth]

if you wanna ever drop more money WS Flux Deep Clacky are the best

[neat pagoda]

I will get it then i guess, im saving for a iphone 17 aswell, so i will get an iphone 17 and for xmas gift the 80he

[neat pagoda]

how much are them

[proven hearth]

on aliexpress its $77/70pcs

[neat pagoda]

holy expensive

[proven hearth]

at least for the US

[dusty notch]

are they made out of solid gold

[proven hearth]

its $2 per switch from their official website

[warm rune]

Planning on buying the 80he soon, would like to know if these keycaps would work with them

[proven hearth]

it should

[warm rune]

Alright, thank you :3

[proven hearth]

they sound better than geon raws

[dusty notch]

3x the price tho no?

[proven hearth]

ive used geon raws, mmd c1s, lekker tikkens and those fluxes

[proven hearth]

well yes

its also roughly the same price as gateron jade maxes

[proven hearth]

[neat pagoda]

do yall recommend upgrading the keycaps? im gonna get the spanish layout (as im spanish)

[proven hearth]

this whole keyboard thing is expensive

[neat pagoda]

i guess

[dusty notch]

what a tiny keyboard

[dusty notch]

i feel like theyre pretty high quality, but i wanna get a zero two one cause she bad

[proven hearth]

60HE
buying the v2 on the 6th

[dusty notch]

its so samll

[neat pagoda]

wdym zero two one

[proven hearth]

if you want, keycaps are a lot about just the design you want

[dusty notch]

like custom zero two keycaps

[proven hearth]

keycaps can also change how the keyboard sound but i feel like that isnt as important as everything else

[neat pagoda]

i js want some black ones that the rgb is good in those, like you get what i mean

[dusty notch]

they r kinda important tho, i dont want some really plastic hollow feeling ones

[dusty notch]

let me show you the stock ones ?

[proven hearth]

nice thick quality keycaps get expensive quick

[neat pagoda]

are they nice as that?

[dusty notch]

theyre really ncie\

[proven hearth]

i havent really used the stock wooting keycaps at all

[dusty notch]

miku on the right ^_^

[weary leaf]

Is there a hardware difference between the 60v2 and 80? I’m planning on buying and enjoy both formats but just curious if one has more features than the other?

[tall fjord]

just got my wooting lfg is there antyhing i should do rn settings wise?

[midnight iron]

Mostly just some sound layering differences, but actual hardware wise both are very similar and both are 8k keyboards

[dusty notch]

Set it up how u want , I looked up yt tut for the fps games i play and i have one as a neutral for when i type or play games like the last of us

[tall fjord]

i see ill play around 👍

[dusty notch]

Yw man

[soft jungle]

Purchased an 80he, comes on Tuesday. I’m coming from a membrane keyboard that’s older then me hahah I can’t describe how excited i am

[indigo breach]

Got mine 2 days ago. I feel you.

[cobalt merlin]

Absolutely love my 80 HE. Everything about it is great.

If there's ever a split space bar PCB version, I'd buy it, before that would make it perfect.

[soft jungle]

Im just refreshing the tracking number and watching youtube unboxing, feels like a little kid waiting for christmas haha

[indigo breach]

Yeah it‘s comparable. Which switches did you choose?

[pure verge]

Mine arrived last week and I was really excited beforehand. I then switched to the Lekker Tikken switches.

[indigo breach]

You ordered new switches during first week?

[pure verge]

Yes

[soft jungle]

I believe whatever ones came standard, Lekker? I believe. Got that alloy case though!

[pure verge]

Lekker v2

ist standard

[jaunty jewel]

I've used the 80HE for just over a year now, and I have 1 thing to really complain about

the JST cable is so short, I jist wish it was an inch longer

[jade widget]

Pretty sure it's slightly longer with newer revisions

[jaunty jewel]

maybe because I have the oldest version of the 80HE

It's really annoying to take apart

[jade widget]

The cable guide was also removed on the newer versions also

[jaunty jewel]

i wonder what revision we are on

[cobalt merlin]

I just got an 80HE the other day and can say that the JST cable was a bit challenging for me. I got it right the first time, but I did have to hold the assembly just so to get it right.

[jade widget]

Yeah it was pretty tight fit when I built mine initially, although definitely not as sketchy as ripping parts off the PCB like when I built my venom

[cobalt merlin]

I can understand not wanting it to be too long though, because not tucking it in right could stress the PCB and crack RoHS solder joints on SMDs.

[humble badger]

In about 3 or 4 Days my GT-80 Case with Accessories arrives 🙂

[weary leaf]

Did you get the carry case aswell or nah?

[humble badger]

Sadly it isnt in Stock
But someone told me, that the wooting 80he carry Case will fit too

[weary leaf]

Indeed i have been waiting for it for like two weeks now, was just curious if you ordered before it went OOS or perhaps messaged them and still got it or what.
Good stuff either way.

[humble badger]

Thanks

[proven hearth]

gt60 comes with one

[silver dock]

Dont we all wish we had an extra inch

[fossil aurora]

has anyone from the states ordered an 80he module recently? the batch for mine says "NA-Caterpillar 0" but this doesn't seem to exist in their website

[cobalt merlin]

I am in the US and recently ordered an 80HE module (and remainder of kit needed to build a Zinc board)

let me check the batch

[cobalt merlin]

Where would I find it?

[fossil aurora]

if you put your order number into here: https://wooting.io/order-status

it should list it

[cobalt merlin]

I don't see "batch" anywhere.

I've received it.

[fossil aurora]

ah i see, when did you order it and when did you receive? mine looks like a 3 month wait and i wanted to see if this was typical

[cobalt merlin]

I ordered it on ummm
10/19/2025 and it had a fraud hold placed by my bank, which I cleared immediately, but that caused an admin hold at wooting payment processing.

Because wooting was on Wootstock out of office annual gathering, they resolved that for me on 10/27/2025

And then from there, I received it on 10/29/2025

it was in stock at the time, so had it not been for the weird admin hold issue, it would have been automated and received on 10/22 probably

[fossil aurora]

whaaat no way lol i ordered mine oct 18 and it says expected jan 11-15

[atomic brook]

rip

unless theres an error, it means its just out of stock and back ordered

[fossil aurora]

that's so strange tho bc i ordered mine a day before it is what it is ig then

[atomic brook]

u could ask support if theres an error

[fossil aurora]

yeah i prob will just to check in. thx!

[short geyser]

Probably a stupid question but how to keep two or one color of rgb in the keeb

[atomic brook]

shift click iirc

im assuming ur asking how to choose entire colours batches to remove?

[short geyser]

I wanna keep one single colour and do a wave form

[atomic brook]

oh u cant

that effects only have preset colours

[short geyser]

Damn

So I can have a solid colour without any effects?

[atomic brook]

ye right now cycle and wave only have presets to choose from

[unique crag]

I thought the zinc case came with a travel case, is that not the case anymore?

[storm nymph]

the case is the box itself xD

[indigo breach]

Box contains the travel case with the zinc case inside

[fair plume]

hey guys my wooting 80HE is a jis but i have been wanting to make it work with a bigger spacebar so that i can get a better custom keycap selection

[buoyant solstice]

You'll need one of our JIS spacebar keycaps.

[fair plume]

i am using it but the size on the jis is it 6.25 or lower perhaps?

[lime falcon]

4.5u

[fair plume]

oh

ty

[buoyant solstice]

But in a not so common standard. It's slightly offset from most keycap sets you can buy.

[fair plume]

okay thanks

[cobalt merlin]

80HE Split Spacebar Board Wen?

[nova nexus]

Let's see how the 60HEv2 split performs first

[cobalt merlin]

Fair point.

I just got an 80HE but I'm going to get a 60HEV2 Split as well.

[proven hearth]

you should buy a few to boost the numbers

[cobalt merlin]

I can't help myself.

I think two metal case keyboards in a 4 week period is enough.

[north cosmos]

not sure you guys can help me with this but i cant figure it out myself, anyone know how to stop openrgb from taking over my 80he? i already disabled wooting in the settings.
But every boot it takes over my 80he and because i have it turned off in the settings the lights turn off. If i replug the 80he the normal rgb from my profiles turns back on. idk how to prefent openrgb from taking it over in the first place.

[north cosmos]

i pray for the day i can get a split spacebar on my 80he

id pay so much for a pcb with one

[cobalt merlin]

My work keyboard is so darned annoying that I have ended up carrying my 80HE to the office on the days that I'm in the office.

Why offices think that little flat chiclet keyboards are a good idea is beyond me.

[north cosmos]

gotta make it as loud as possible to bother your coworkers

[cobalt merlin]

It's an 80HE so it's not that loud at all

[north cosmos]

the spacebar gets pretty loud IMO, i put some foam in it to silence it

[cobalt merlin]

I did some lubricant tuning on mine.

[north cosmos]

that to, swapped the stabs and did some more lube, foam in it and its very nice

[main burrow]

I am bout to order the 80he, I own the 60he and I love it but I would like to know from the people that already own the 80he what are your likes and dislikes.(Sorry if this is not allowed)

[wide crystal]

hello, i have a question, i have just finished modding my wooting 80he, i used the toronto keyboardman kit (left out the ixpe foam and all the plastic stuff), then changed switches with the geon raptors v2, and also changed keycaps with a dye sub pbt kat set. now my question is: is it normal that there is a very noticeable light bleed? i don't really like it, but i don't even know if i can fix it. if i had to guess, it probably comes from the housing of the geon raptors (which is red, and most rgb settings now have a red tinge) and the white plate. do you guys have any tips on how to reduce the light bleed?

[cobalt merlin]

You can reduce the light intensity and the bleed will also reduce some. Assuming you're tried that, it's going to come down to your keycaps and switches.

[wide crystal]

i did already reduce the brightness, and it did help a bit. the keycaps are opaque so i don't think they are part of the problem

[cobalt merlin]

Are switch tops all clear or opaque with windows?

[wide crystal]

here is an image of the switches, the top part is clear, but it's red-ish

[burnt bluff]

is it also just easy replace from my Ghost case to https://www.aliexpress.com/p/tesla-landing/index.html?scenario=c_ppc_item_bridge&productId=1005009734973120&_immersiveMode=true&withMainCard=true&src=google-language&aff_platform=true&isdl=y&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=272-267-0231&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005009734973120&ds_e_product_merchant_id=5556985277&ds_e_product_country=ZZ&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=23099391483&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23104999604&gclid=CjwKCAiAwqHIBhAEEiwAx9cTeXKHrmL5PiTdN51llrhF68q8J3kt3Qu7Ah6XFaEp3XX_0cACOqtLRhoC6kcQAvD_BwE like zinc ones or is the build process different?

[proven hearth]

reduce the red(r) value on the rgb but this doesnt really have a fix

other using completely different switches that have a more neutral color or completely clear

[wide crystal]

i will try it, thanks

[cobalt merlin]

Alternatively, a black sharpie to the red.

Or an acrylic paint pen.

[proven hearth]

doing that for every switch

[wide crystal]

ok now i think the problem actually were the keycaps, i momentarily switched to my old ones and there was no light bleed

guess i'll stay at 40% brightness then ahaha, i really like those keycaps

[elder frost]

I can’t post it in pets with all my other posts so you’ll have to enjoy the tikkens and the kon momo keycaps.

[cobalt merlin]

Figured that might be the case.

[soft jungle]

My 80he came in, typing on it now. My lord that sound

[cobalt merlin]

They're lovely.

[magic spindle]

Hi guy i got a "problem" , basicly my 80he with alloy case and those 10°angle keep moving foward. i mean by that i feel like the those angles doosnt keep the keyboard like "fixied" on my desk and when im playing my keyboard kind run away from my hand.... is there any other grip or modif i can do for it doesnt move by playing xD

[verbal solar]

Hello, if I get the ISO Spain layout for the Wooting 80HE can I add or remap the Shift+Key characters? For example, add the letter "Ç" to the keyboard or when I press "~" and the same "~" Key + Shift it gives me "^"? - from Portugal btw, with PT keys but no PT layout on the website to buy

[cobalt merlin]

you could try cleaning the feet with isopropanol and then cleaning the surface with a cleaner that's safe for the surface, and see if that helps.

Failing that, you could get a desk pad with an aggressive grippy bottom to put the keyboard on.

Is this a plastic case or metal case?

[magic spindle]

hi! welp i alrdy cleaned both surface but still keep sliding too easly. about the case i got the metal one

but it feels like when the keyboard is parallel from my screen it doesnt sliding that easly... but stil slide. When i play my keyboard is almost perpendicular from the screen i saw that the KB slide more easly. btw i never heard of a desk pad but if it will resolve this i surely take one

[cobalt merlin]

I also have a HE80 Zinc and I have no issues with sliding at all.

I'm on the 6 degree feet though.

and my desk surface is mildly textured

[cobalt merlin]

Take a look at "Non-adhesive CatTongue grips"

just under the keyboard though, not everywhere

can cut to fit

[magic spindle]

Il go look tjs for help

[cobalt merlin]

Hope it helps.

[hoary island]

hi , i have a little question

i want buy holy80 case but doubt about the sound vs my plastic case,
is it louder than plastic?

plastic, holy80, zinc.. rank please? i',m looking the quite typing sound since in here is hard to find silent switch

[tall kelp]

Hello. I ordered a keyboard of your guys website and it’s not arriving to my house because of UPS and I’ve already been waiting 1 week and half for it and called them 4 times.
is there anything that you guys can do so I can receive my wooting80he, mechanical switch tools, wooting detachable usb-c cable set

[random bobcat]

Hello all, I have a question about the Wooting 80HE's USB module. Mine says "80HE USB v0.1.3". Long story short, my module is fried and I need a replacement. Do we know if another keyboard's USB module might work with the Wooting? Any ideas on sourcing a replacement module? Thanks

[cobalt merlin]

I'd reach out to wooting directly with a ticket.

[jade widget]

Yeah reach out to support https://wooting.io/support

[buoyant solstice]

That's not how keyboards work. Anything that happens when you hold shift or other modifier keys is something in the operating system, acting according to your chosen keyboard language.

Your keyboard just sends "key45" which the OS decides what means.

[icy dagger]

Anyone got some keycaps low profile they suggest that aren’t slippery.

[grim stirrup]

i don't think low profile keycaps are compatible with normal switches

and using them on standard switches kinda defeats the purpose of low profile

[atomic brook]

if the reason why u want low profile is cos the comfort of flatter keys there are flatter profiles of normal keycaps id reccomend

[icy dagger]

Exactly ! Wording on my part was bad

[atomic brook]

pbs is a profile id reccomend

[icy dagger]

Im using the black and white wavy ones right rn that wooting have and i tend to sweat a bit and they slide all over

[atomic brook]

dsa is also pretty flat

[icy dagger]

Where would you suggest I look for those? Any website in particular

[atomic brook]

^ pbs

[atomic brook]

keyreative is the maker of pbs profiles, but they have vendors in other regions for shipping costs

[icy dagger]

Thats my cup of tea right there !

[atomic brook]

honestly just search the big retailers in ur region and sort by profile

[icy dagger]

PBS/DSA?

[atomic brook]

theres a lot more

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

heres a list of vendors by region

[icy dagger]

okay. I’m definitely interested, also does the preorder for the new wooting start Wednesday then?

[ornate pike]

In my opinion, the holy series has shit sound

[hoary island]

Better zinc?

[red heart]

take a look in #1070668460905988106 for holy80 builds

[sullen ether]

with my keyboard leds set up like this one of leds thats off comes up as pink, any reason why?

Here's with the LEDs test profile.

[buoyant solstice]

Give the LED a colour, save, remove it, save?

[sullen ether]

Already tried, updated firmware, reset it completely, is changing the color to black the same as turning it off?

[burnt bluff]

What keycaps r those

[vocal wharf]

Rgb

[sullen ether]

These are cerakey matte white v3

[warm nest]

cop or drop?

[nova nexus]

cop 🚨

[spring oar]

cop. Worth it even if misfit

[warm nest]

thought so it has like 2 scratches

[simple solar]

I paid like 8 bucks less for the frosted plastic version, without keycaps, so definitely cop.

could probably touch up the scratches

[cobalt merlin]

cop, ven the 50% misfit is probably a solid cop.

[warm nest]

is there only one, so its first come first serve?

[red heart]

No clue how many there are but kinda

Unspecified amount of them out there

[sour lark]

is that only module and case?

[warm nest]

I do not know. I hope not

[cobalt merlin]

the $231.99 is a complete unit

The $54.99 is case only no module.

[sour lark]

so prebuilt with the switches and caps?

[warm nest]

yes

[cobalt merlin]

This is a fully functional complete unit with cosmetic defects.

it's assembled

[sour lark]

oh ok

[cobalt merlin]

The issue with it is the v1 white paint which has the above information RedRooster posted.

[warm nest]

are you going to buy it before me

[cobalt merlin]

There may be more than 1.

[midnight iron]

i'm buying one later for christmas gift (if there's some left later)

[cobalt merlin]

From what I can tell, they're trying to sell off the remainder of the v1 white paint units with a discount and a full disclosure of the coating limitations.

[midnight iron]

the v1 zincs are great value honestly

[cobalt merlin]

They are.

[sour lark]

i was confused cause i thought im gonna have to buy switches

[cobalt merlin]

I'd have bought one myself, but I was in a hurry and didn't know when the misfits would launch.

[spring oar]

You got a nice keeb/pcb, nice case, and a nice travel case.

What's not to love (except for the blemish which can honestly be fixed)

[cobalt merlin]

The travel case was so underrated by me. I use it far more than I ever expected, taking KB to work. It's awesome.

[sour lark]

we can swap every month

[warm nest]

lol

hopefully we don't live far from each other

[cobalt merlin]

When I bought the unit and saw it online, I thought "Eh, I don't need that." When it arrived in person, I was impressed with it, so impressed with it that I use it whenever I take my KB into the office.

It's a lovely case.

[sour lark]

only around 10hours of flight

travel case is included from what i read so it shouldnt be much of an issue

[warm nest]

lol true

https://tenor.com/view/silly-funny-reaction-meme-stan-twt-horse-gif-5445268815333743861

[cobalt merlin]

I really can't speak highly enough about the Zinc case, 80HE board, PBT keycaps, and travel case that wooting made. They're really good.

[warm nest]

are you talking about this one?

[cobalt merlin]

yeah I actually might buy one of those to either strip and re-coat or to use to build a mold out of.

[warm nest]

oh cool

[cobalt merlin]

I want to make one of those in solid 90% silver from melted down bullion coins. I'll probably do a casting and then machine.

and so having a spare case to strip and remove coating on would be helpful for that process.

[upper garden]

https://tenor.com/view/samuel-l-jackson-serious-aim-gun-gif-13799789

[warm nest]

yo chill was about to check out

might wait till my next paycheck tho idk yet

[sour lark]

how often do you have to lube the 80he switches especially if u use them a lot everyday?

[nova nexus]

I've lubed precisely one switch in my life, and that was more than enough for me

[buoyant solstice]

Maybe once every five years to keep them nice and smooth. If at all.

[cobalt merlin]

... I lubed all on my 80HE because KOM POM...

I learned a lot but it was a little tedious.

[lime falcon]

Makes sense, POMs are dry like a sahara desert

[cobalt merlin]

yup, I got some great advice here to be aware of that, and was prepared. I also wasted a fair bit of lube over-lubing until I learned exactly what I needed.

[sour lark]

are the pictures just random or do you not get keycaps if u buy ISO prebuilt?

[nova nexus]

Keycaps are not included with ISO prebuilts, so that we can support many languages without exponentially increasing SKUs

[north cosmos]

asking this again since the last time no dice. Not sure you guys can help me with this but i cant figure it out myself, anyone know how to stop openrgb from taking over my 80he? i already disabled wooting in the settings.
But every boot it takes over my 80he and because i have it turned off in the settings the lights turn off. If i replug the 80he the normal rgb from my profiles turns back on. idk how to prefent openrgb from taking it over in the first place.

[buoyant solstice]

Yeah. It's because the 80HE doesn't appear as a Wooting product in OpenRGB (Go complain to them)

Detect devices - I believe it appears as a ... Logitech TKL or something?

[nova nexus]

Damn calling us Logitech... Savage

[cobalt merlin]

at least it wasn't razer?

[upbeat berry]

i thought they fixed that long ago

[buoyant solstice]

Wasn't fixed when I got my Nollie and new fans.

[hushed sinew]

I contributed to open RGB a while ago and from what I remember this doesn't make any sense to me.

I'll see if I can still reproduce this

[upbeat berry]

its indeed not in the list as 80he

heck even the 60he+ and uwu arent in

[buoyant solstice]

Uhh... Yeah they are

[upbeat berry]

just downloaded the build and its not there for me

[upbeat berry]

i mean that looks wrong

[buoyant solstice]

Yes it does. But that's OpenRGB in a nutshell 😄

[upbeat berry]

running some git build

i just downloaded the latest build from the website

[buoyant solstice]

Running what I was told I needed to, to configure it four months ago.

Back then the website build didn't work.

[upbeat berry]

@hushed sinew pls fix

[buoyant solstice]

At any rate - Back then my 80HE presented as a ... corsair or logitech. And I disabled it.

[upbeat berry]

what are these names wtf

also so weird the controllers are one/two split not v1/v2

[hushed sinew]

ill look into

their Qt dev env was really annoying last I tried it

honestly this is a really good excuse to update this to use the new protocol we will be releasing, and most of the code can be straight from rgb sdk

[upbeat berry]

pls make the code sane diogo sama

[hushed sinew]

they are on 1.0-rc2 which is nice

maybe i can get this in for the first v1.0 release

[upbeat berry]

gogo diogo san

i believe in you

[hushed sinew]

what is a wooting two 60he

[upbeat berry]

everything is wooting two since the HE/LE in openrgb

[frank barn]

Did you mod your spacebars? Mine sounds very bad after a year. 🙁
Maybe needs regrease once a year?

[verbal solar]

So if I buy the Wooting 80HE with Spain ISO layout, as long as in my Windows I have the PT layout selected and I buy the PT keycaps, even tho the keyboard was Spanish I can just use it as PT layout?

[buoyant solstice]

Sure.

[ripe wyvern]

So I’m doing my first keyboard build and ordered the 80HE ISO Module aswell as Gateron Jade Pros, Gateron Ink V2 Pro Screw, Wooting Double Shots White + the Frost Case. Anything else I should get?

I also got the Lube etc aswell as a switch opener

Would you guys recommend lubing the gatorate switches and stabilizers?

Also is there really a difference between the regular keycaps and the high end ones?

[sullen ether]

i would lean more towards other switches that are already factory lubed as it just is easier and factory lubed switches are not expensive or bad

[ripe wyvern]

From my understanding the Jade Pros already come prelubed

But I’m not sure if the factory lube is good or not

It’s those here https://www.gateron.com/products/gateron-magnetic-jade-pro-switch-set?VariantsId=11136

[jade widget]

Factory lube is fine on those switches no need for manual lubing

[sullen ether]

another thing i wanna add is the stem wobble on those is alot more than some of the newer switches coming out

[sullen ether]

i second this.

my hand lubed geon raws sound literally the same as the factory lubed jades i have

[ripe wyvern]

Oh I heard it’s from the og Jades

The Jade Pros seem to be the better of the bunch if I’m not mistaken. The maxes seem to get stuck keycaps

[sullen ether]

oh idk anything about og jades ive only used jade pros

[ripe wyvern]

Oh if you had the same experience with the Jade Pros then that’s kinda disappointing

[sullen ether]

well not that thier bad, but thier just not as good as some of the newer switches that have been released.

[ripe wyvern]

So what are the best ones you can currently get?

[lime falcon]

You can also check out switch database for sound tests, wobble ratings and other specifications if you're interested: https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[ripe wyvern]

I could still send them back and get something else

[sullen ether]

there are no best switches

[sullen ether]

this is an amazing source though

[lime falcon]

There are switches with improved tolerances and cleaner sound than Jade Pros

[sullen ether]

any of the top 3 should be similar if not better than jad pros.

[lime falcon]

Around the same price or even less.

Also I'd recommend trying out stock stabilizers first, there's nothing wrong with them.

[sullen ether]

i will say, thier alot harder to tune, i bought type-plus stabilizers and they needed little tuning.

i could not get the stock wooting spacebar to a point where i enjoyed it.

but that could be a skill issue

[cobalt merlin]

skill or art

[leaden oriole]

I’m getting a zinc white 80he with cerakey matte white v2 keycaps, what do you think about yours? I’m really exited

[cobalt merlin]

spacebar stabilizer tuning is like artistry

[sullen ether]

the v2 can often be off centered

they will hapily replace them though

but mine all fit perfectly, sound amazing

but ive got a zinc black, and man is it heavy

i go to move my keyboard and its like a boulder

[ripe wyvern]

Thank you for the share!

It’s very overwhelming and a lot of information for sure

[sullen ether]

totally

[ripe wyvern]

Is there a reason why the Geon Raws or Jade Pros are not showing there?

[leaden oriole]

That’s great for me because my current steelseries kb is way too light haha

[leaden oriole]

That’s good to know

[sullen ether]

thier just mediocre, not bad but not as good

[lime falcon]

They're not as good as those options

Tolerances are worse

[ripe wyvern]

Im surprised that some of those are so cheap

[sullen ether]

lekker tikken would probably be my recommendation if you want jade pros

[lime falcon]

Yeah, there are many cheap and good options such as Owlab Ti, UR Ice Ultra, Lekker Tikken

[sullen ether]

i got tecsee he and im super happy with them, although i upgraded them with 60gram domes, and they were like 110$ for all 90

they are nothing like geon raws or jades tho XD

[ripe wyvern]

Are walled stems compatible with the Wooting keycaps?

[sullen ether]

defintely should be

[lime falcon]

Yes

Wuque Flux "Deep Clacky" are very nice if you can order from AliExpress. Very good sound and almost no stem wobble

[sullen ether]

shafie any chance you have any way to help me with my led issue?

[sullen ether]

this one

[ripe wyvern]

So according to the list the Tecsee Tec Magnetic is the best overall but a silent switch, the Raptor V2 seems to be the best overall with sound and soundwise the Herz are the best?

[lime falcon]

Saw your post, but can't help sorry

[lime falcon]

There's no best, it's all preference.

[sullen ether]

all good not your fault

[ripe wyvern]

Mhmh

[sullen ether]

just becuase they have the s tier stem wobble doesnt mean a tier isnt bad

i would give geon raws a b and jade pros a b+

[cobalt merlin]

yeah I LOVE this about the Zinc case. It just plants itself and refuses to move, even for aggressive cats.

[sullen ether]

lmaooo

[cobalt merlin]

My cats knock everything off of the desk, but not this keyboard.

[cobalt merlin]

Nor the really nice silicon wrist rest; it's too much friction for them to overcome.

[lime falcon]

If you're searching for the best all-rounder, then it's Flux "Deep Clacky" in my opinion. As I said above they have a nice sound profile, smooth feel and almost no stem wobble. Price is the same as Jade Pros if you order from AliExpress.

[sullen ether]

Jade blue on the left, which are about the same as jade pros, slightly worse, tecsee he on the right

[ripe wyvern]

Thank you guys I appreciate it

I found an offer on the Flux for a 106

But it takes super long to arrive 🤔

Is it also viable to order keycaps from Ali?

[sullen ether]

youll get used to that

yeah comes from the same place anyways

[ripe wyvern]

My current keyboard is broken hence why I decided to invest some money in something proper this time

So that’s why it’s kinda a bummer that it takes so long

That’s great to hear haha

[lime falcon]

$106? That's pretty expensive.

[ripe wyvern]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ew3EJRE

It’s those here

[lime falcon]

Check if these listings are available for you: #🔧│keyboard_modding message

They should be cheaper.

[ripe wyvern]

They’re not unfortunately

[lime falcon]

The quality of AliExpress keycaps are mediocre most of the time, so it's better to order them from somewhere else.

Here's the vendor list: https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[lime falcon]

Unfortunate, then get something else, because $100+ is very expensive :D

[sullen ether]

yeah sorry when i was saying i spent 110 on mine i meant it in a way like i overpayed

[ripe wyvern]

Wanna choose for me?

You guys seem knowledgeable

[sullen ether]

i would say just to make it easy order lekker tikken with the module

[cobalt merlin]

Keycaps?
I like the PBT double shots Wooting has.

Nice and clean.

[ripe wyvern]

I got the module and white ones on the way already

Im currently just on a worktrip and trying to see what I can improve till I’m back home

[sullen ether]

ohh i see.

[ripe wyvern]

Just writing from the hotel room currently

[lime falcon]

GMK, PBTfans and KKB have some nice keycaps.
Wooting doubleshot PBT keycaps are also good, if you want shinethrough.

[ripe wyvern]

Oh okay those are the ones I looked at

I saw the X-rays from PBT? I think, they looked cool and were on sale

Like 100 bucks for the combo with the international pack

Switches I think I got the Jade Pros delivered today but I could still return them.

The Phylina Thunder Flash White also look cool

They’re under 40 for 110

And the list said they’re also good for rgb

[sullen ether]

when did you order? you may be able to catch them before they ship it and have them add them to your order

[ripe wyvern]

So it might be a consideration, have you guys tried them yet??

[sullen ether]

ohh if you got them they should be fine

its not like its such a difference you should go through the hassle

[ripe wyvern]

I ordered on the 1st

I mean I honestly just want a great setup I don’t have to worry about. It sounds annoying if my 400+ keyboard is wobbling

(Including switches, stabs etc)

[sullen ether]

see how available thunderflash are then

especially since u mentioned rgb

[lime falcon]

They're good

Stable and good sound

Also cheap

[proven hearth]

@ripe wyvern are you able to order from here? https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wuque-stuido-ws-flux-he-magnetic-switch?

(theres an option for the deep clack)

[lime falcon]

Out of stock

[proven hearth]

thanks smarty pants

[pure verge]

How much for 65 clacky

[sullen ether]

about 65

that might sound like a joke but most nicer switches are about 1$ per after shipping

[proven hearth]

spacebar has a lot more wobble compared to other keys in general, even on the same switches if you wiggle them like that

[sullen ether]

interesting lemme try another switch then

[proven hearth]

you should try with keys more in the middle, any of the alphas is good

[proven hearth]

yeah that works too

[fading ferry]

heyo I installed signalrgb and now I cant change my rgb on wootility

what can I do

I uninstalled signalrgb but the issue persists

[tall fjord]

Replug ur keyboard

[fading ferry]

ok you're a genius

I love you

thanks

[tall fjord]

👍

[steady fable]

I have a sudden issue of my wooting 80he getting stuck on the A key OR the A key stops working completely and I have to unplug the cable to make it work again. Earlier today I unplugged all my PC wires to do some cable management and now I suddenly have this issue. Anyone know of any fixes?

[golden acorn]

Thoughts on keebmat?

[cobalt merlin]

Haven't used. Unsure of sliding resistance.

lol some funny marketing though, "thock.film" and "thockrings"

But I assume you mean the felt 80HE mat.

[jade widget]

Unplug plug back in don't touch any keys for ~10 seconds and see if that fixes it

[woven basin]

wootang

[cobalt merlin]

Do your legs hit the table legs being so far off to the side of the desk?

[simple solar]

I'm so excited! Ordered the 80HE module with the frost abs case and Geon Raw switches, today. Think I'm going to throw MDA profile caps on it. Love my current keyboard, and my TTC KOM Magnetos, but not a fan of the 68 layout, the higher pitched TTC sound(love the lack of wobble tho, and sounds very crisp, but just generically high pitched to me), and Wooting isn't messing around with that 4yr PCB warranty/2yr LED warranty, or their software. Can't stand MelGeek's Hive software(How they handle RGB selection and analogue input settings). One look at Wootility(and the warranty) and I was immediately sold lol. Should get here in time for my birthday.

[cobalt merlin]

wooting's hardware is superb and their software is absolutely unrivaled. Love my 80HE

[spring oar]

Enjoy your wooting!

[simple solar]

Thank you! I plan on keeping the Frost case for a while before upgrading it, and just trying a bunch of switches in the meantime. Question, I like the sound of the Geons, but do longer travel switches lend themselves better to analogue key press setups since they physically have more range of motion? Not an answer I can find easily. I'm newer to this stuff.

[simple solar]

whoops, forgot to use the reply feature, my bad

[upper garden]

swap the geons for tikkens

thank me later

https://tenor.com/view/goku-dragon-ball-z-dragon-ball-thumbs-up-approval-gif-5130883159510254210

[fading ferry]

nope

[tribal trench]

is it normal for the small led bar to go pink? i got my 80he last year when it launched and i noticed that white part of my light bar started going pink over time

[buoyant solstice]

Hard to say without more testing. I recommend making a thread in #1019755933959733258 and testing the LEDs specifically. Removing any effects you have on the light bar tab, and testing all LEDs with pure Red, Green and Blue to see if there might be a defect.

[tribal trench]

does wooting has any kind of warrant for this?

[red heart]

led has 2 years warranty

[simple perch]

Guys, but an order like this always comes with a 4-year warranty, right?

[rich scarab]

how do i fix spacebar rattle? i cant find a yt tutorial with a wooting keyboard

[red heart]

as long as you dont shoot it with a cannon yeah

you will need keycaps tho if you dont already have some

[simple perch]

In other words, does the unassembled version, as shown in the image, have a 4-year warranty like the assembled one?

[simple perch]

Already ordered

[buoyant solstice]

4 year warranty on functionality, 2 on the LEDs.

[lime falcon]

https://youtu.be/vxHb6CJc9V8

[buoyant solstice]

This covers manufacturing defects, not user accidents - If you spill on the keyboard, that's not covered.

[simple perch]

Ah ok so it's the same

[simple perch]

Obv

[rich scarab]

so i have to dissasemble the whole keyboard?

[lime falcon]

Correct

[rich scarab]

ok

[simple perch]

For assembly, is that video on YouTube enough to avoid mistakes? Or do you have any other advice?

[lime falcon]

You have to remove stabilizers, balance the wires and lube them.

[buoyant solstice]

Sander's videos are great. I don't think I have anything to add there. We already went through it step by step internally.

But as Shafie mentions, modding isn't really covered in detail. I suggest doing the disassembly as shown in video and then asking in #🔧│keyboard_modding for additional steps for the lubing.

[simple perch]

I was told that Lekker Tikken Medium are already lubricated

[lime falcon]

I was answering the other person.

And yes, Lekker Tikkens are indeed pre-lubed.

[simple perch]

Ah ok ok sorry

[simple perch]

Ok I'll take a good look at the video. If you have any questions about editing, ask here on Discord to be sure

[ripe wyvern]

I went and ordered the Owlab Ti HE Linear now. I found a store in Germany who sells them for like 50 cents each. The amount of variety is insane. Haven’t found a keycap set where I would say wow yet. They’re either very pricey 150-200€ not what I’m looking for or sold out/international kit is missing.

I might even order some more switches lol.
I also found a store that sells the Raptor V2 but after searching over Reddit I decided to rather go with the Owlabs. I also saw a post where people said the Herz switches are the next gen Owlabs, how do people know that? @sullen ether @lime falcon

[lime falcon]

Herz is basically a recolor of Owlabs with a lighter spring.

Hope you enjoy Owlabs, they're nice

[red heart]

Finding a nice set with international kit is a nightmare

If you dont want to spend an arm and a leg or settle for something worse, get blanks instead

[ripe wyvern]

For now I got the regular pbt sets

But I love what you guys are doing with your keyboards, they look awesome

[red heart]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-mictlan-rebirth

This is a great looking set with international options

(I have v1 of it and just bought some extra stuff from here that is new/i was missing)

[ripe wyvern]

Ooh that’s a cool looking one, reminds me so much of a code editor

Is it normal to have to wait for so long?

It says it ships in May 2026

[red heart]

It‘s a group buy so it‘s not produced yet

[nova nexus]

Oh not our stuff

Was gunna say

March is the lastest here 😅

[ripe wyvern]

So most people do these group buys online to get some keycaps? Sorry I’m new to this hobby

Is it just to get something new and individual or is there an actual difference between let’s say 30€ keycaps and 150€?

[nova nexus]

The vast majority of consumers won't participate in a group buy, this is a very niche part of the niche

But for those who want exactly precisely a thing, then group buys may be the only way to get it

[ripe wyvern]

Ive read that there’s ceramics too and they seem to have a special sound too but what’s the difference if the material is the same?

[ripe wyvern]

Ah okay yes that makes sense

[nova nexus]

Ceramic keycaps are very different sound profile because of their material

[ripe wyvern]

Is there a difference between let’s say one of those GMK sets and the regular Wooting keycaps apart from design?

[nova nexus]

I've never had GMK keycaps so I don't really know

[red heart]

GMK keycaps are known and loved for their vibrant colors, crisp lettering and good sound profile

Lots of cheaper aliexpress sets for example have bad lettering or inconsistent colors

[buoyant solstice]

GMK typically uses ABS. The actual colours might differ from the promised renders. Defects have to be checked on arrival, cause you can't typically get replacements later - One time production.

[hollow crag]

A $500 keyboard needs maintenance? oof

[brisk ruin]

That clearly says modding, not maintenance

[buoyant solstice]

Why isn't my Lambo running? You're telling me I have to do MAINTENANCE on it? JEEEZ

Houseowners completely ruined at this news.

[spring oar]

Yesh, everything needs maintenance

[hollow crag]

Person buys lambo. Lambo needs maintenance 3 months in. Yeah that's a problem

[nova nexus]

Could be worse, could be a Ferrari

[buoyant solstice]

No one said your keyboard needed maintenance within three months though.

Or a year. Or two.

[hollow crag]

Holup, are you 3 actually employed by wooting?

Please tell me wooting team tags aren't actually wooting employees

[quiet junco]

In love with wooting🥶

[buoyant solstice]

Buddy... #❗│important

[hollow crag]

easy order cancel. Cheers

[tulip trail]

What is the difference between the 60HE V2. and the 80HE? other than the size?

[midnight iron]

60he v2 has some sound layering improvements and maybe some minor parts upgrades, but besides that it's mainly the layout difference

[tulip trail]

So same switches?

[midnight iron]

switches can be bought in whatever you want really, since we offer module option with both. If you buy pre-built then 60he v2 comes with tikkens which most would say are the nicer, newer switches, but you can always buy an 80he module and pick tikkens in the selector

[tulip trail]

Do you know if there are any plans of updating the 80HE to a V2 in the near future?

[midnight iron]

80he already includes a lot of the upgrades 60he v2 is bringing besides the new sound layering

[tulip trail]

Is there still problems with the plastic pcr case for the 80HE?

[midnight iron]

there was never any problems with the plastic pcr case. Some people just didn't like the design which make it more flexible in areas, but the plastic used was always high quality

[tulip trail]

ah, was ot then with the zinc?

[midnight iron]

if you're worried about zinc coating issues, go with white zinc as that has the updated and best coating we offer right now

black v2 is still in the works

[tulip trail]

Ok. The same as on the 60HE V2?

[midnight iron]

60he v2 is an entire different thing, but the coating is very durable also

[tulip trail]

ok, im just very unsure if I should get the 80HE or the 60HE V2.

[midnight iron]

pick based on format you prefer honestly

[tulip trail]

yeah...

[midnight iron]

i like the v2 because it offers split spacebar, but that's a layout preference

[tulip trail]

yeah, i know

[pure verge]

I love the 80HE. I need the F-keys under Linux relatively often.

But if there were ever a Wooting Three...

[stable forge]

what is the issue with jade max switches

[rancid fjord]

Guys I have a stock Wooting 80HE and wanted to finally branch out on one of the first things: The switches.

I am torn between the Owlab Ti HE and the new Lekker Klikken switches.
Which one should I buy and what are the differences between the two?

And also, what other mods are recommended to install/do?

[hushed sinew]

They stick when you press them even slightly off center, it's horrible

Especially noticeable if you're doing analog movement with them

[midnight iron]

have a listen to both at https://link.wooting.io/soundtests and decide which you prefer sound wise. Also owlab ti he are shorter travel 3.5mm vs tikken is 4mm (preference of which you prefer)

[rancid fjord]

Does that mean I can only press it 3.5mm deep? Not the full 4.0 mm

And what about other mods that are recommended next to the switches

[midnight iron]

yes, but our software will adjust to 3.5 or 4mm depending on the switch anyway so it's just preference

[rancid fjord]

Mine react on 0.6 mm rn anyways so I dont think I need the full 4mm

[midnight iron]

well it's not about need but what you prefer

some people like the feel of longer travel, some want shorter travel. Just depends - it's not usually a performance thing (for most games anyway, I know some osu players love 4mm)

[sour lark]

For a game where u only have to press 1 button do you think the 60 v2 or 80he would be better

[rancid fjord]

Thank you for your quick answer(s), what about other prefered mods that can make the difference in sound & feel etc?

I know switches are supposed to be at the top making one of the biggest differences from what I was reading

[lime falcon]

Keycaps and plate

[rancid fjord]

Wait where is my 80HE founders role 🙁

I never noticed it LOL

[spring oar]

that's hard to say, since you can bind all 3 spacebar button on the split as 1 space bar

[rancid fjord]

Any recommendations?

[spring oar]

and each thumb has 1 key to press which can make alternating easier.

[rancid fjord]

Or do we have a chart like this https://library.wooting.io/225eb39179848072869fdddc3b9ae808?v=225eb39179848012bc64000c9fe9d9c8 for keycaps & platings?

[lime falcon]

I like my FR4 plate, it sounds and feels nice. People also like other stiffer plates such as Aluminum or Carbon Fiber.

If you're looking for keycaps, then check out GMK, Keykobo, PBTfans, they have some nice and high quality keycap sets.

[lime falcon]

Nope, not yet

You can order 80HE plates from AliExpress. If you're not sure which one to get, then I'd recommend getting an FR4, because it's a balanced plate.

[sour lark]

So does the zinc have less flex than the plastic 80he
I heard that even though I know that a gasket mount also causes flex

[ripe wyvern]

What are the plates used for? And do you have a link to the FR4 one from Ali by any chance?

[red heart]

ISO plates are not commonly sold

if you want iso you will have to have it custom cut probably

[lime falcon]

[tired wharf]

Yo

[golden ember]

My switches are gonna arrive today!!! I’m so hyped

[marsh dune]

I like the concept of split spacebar, but I am 90% sure my left thumb would be exactly where the left spacebar end and that "..." key begins. Good thing it canm be replaced with conventional space bar key, but then it becomes more or less a 60HE V1. I would've preferred a longer left space bar, like instead of | SPACE | ... | SPACE |, I'd rather have | S P A C E | SPACE |.

[golden ember]

HERE WE GO

[upper garden]

now eat them

[golden ember]

Bro I’m not sander to do that XD

"Frosted Lekkers"

[opaque bronze]

What wooting 80he variant do yall like the most black or ghost?

[tulip trail]

If I was going to buy one, black 100%

[opaque bronze]

For a clean black setup id also say black

[pure verge]

black

[ripe wyvern]

Ah man I can never access these

Can you send me a pic of the plate by any chance so I can maybe look for something similar?

Oh I think I found one https://torontokeyboardman.ca/products/wooting-80he-modding-kit?variant=44513538539715

[golden ember]

They sound peak

[upper garden]

for pcr case frost

[lime falcon]

Yeah, that's it

[golden acorn]

thoughts on these with the 80he?

nvm they are abs keycaps

does anyone here know any keycaps with these type of colours for the 80he with the iso enter cap

[proven hearth]

nothing wrong with abs

unless youre going for the sound that pbt provides

[golden acorn]

i do like the sound of they keyboard aswell

i regularly clean and lube my keyboard so the sound means quite alot to me

i have open back headphones aswell so i hear the keyboard more

[red heart]

Open backs here with abs and i love it but your mileage may vary

[golden acorn]

anyone know if candykeys are a reliable brand

or, website

[weary leaf]

yes

[golden acorn]

ok ty

[storm tree]

What is yalls opinion on cheap aliexpress keycaps? Whats the reason behind the huge price difference to "nromal" brands

[buoyant solstice]

Ultimately? A gamble. USually a cheap one.

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gambling-gambler-gif-572068894331490223

[fringe lily]

havent been back in awhile, whats the consensus overall best switch now? still on geon raw 50gs

[lime falcon]

https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

[fringe lily]

oh have geons been dethroned

[lime falcon]

They're alright, just not as good as newer options.

[fringe lily]

heard, ty

[modest roost]

streets saying owlab ti's are better than geon raw

[fringe lily]

might cop flux's tbh

[lime falcon]

Deep Clacky Fluxes are very good, can recommend.

[fringe lily]

price is wild, looking rn for best option lol

[lime falcon]

They're way cheaper on AliExpress

[modest roost]

double the price for what? geon raw best fr

[sullen ether]

yeah youll be super happy with the owlabs

check out drop for some keycaps they usually have high quality ones that are on sale for fairly cheap, i just got a set for 10$ if you can believe it and thier great.

[fringe lily]

yeah just got 90pc for 88$, ty for the recommend

[coarse crest]

If you like the sound of Jades/Jade pros, the deep clack flux is a deeper version of those switches but with better stability.

[fringe pike]

🔥

[lament helm]

Is it possible to change color of my keycaps and case 2 hours after order?

[fringe lily]

i do so thats reassuring

[proven hearth]

youd have to put it on hold and contact support

or cancel and reorder

[steady fable]

Anyone know of a fix for the Wooting 80 activating keys on it’s own? If I move my keyboard slightly, like I push it forward for example the space bar will activate or the A key gets stuck and spam non stop.

[coarse crest]

Yeah I was a former jade pro enjoyer and wanted better stability, these fit that bill pretty well. Former jade pro enjoyers also have been converted and love them, so they’re a fun time

[red heart]

Check if the internal cable is fully inserted

[cobalt merlin]

yup, check JST cable between keyboard pcb and daughterboard pcb

Failing that, there's some weird behavior with very small activation thresholds and tachyon mode. A user found a weird possible solution here: https://discord.com/channels/167181566978555904/1435165042843582565

[upper garden]

where you buy this?

[steady fable]

The cable (Usb C) that goes into the keyboard feels very wobbly. Is that the one you mean?

[buoyant solstice]

No. Inside the keyboard

[lime falcon]

Internal cable

[fringe pike]

My ex got me it like 6 years ago 😂😂

[steady fable]

Does appear to be fully inserted

[fringe pike]

Btw that power cable got me a headache, it took me like 15 minutes to install it

It kept popping off

[upper garden]

ima dm their ass i need that plushie

[nova nexus]

Later batches have a slightly longer cable and no cable guide, making it a little easier

[upper garden]

then i call them slurs after i extract the info @fringe pike

[cobalt merlin]

my 80HE that I just got was pretty snug on the first insertion, and required just a little bit of creative holding of the board and case (zinc). But it wasn't bad. Got it right the first time.

[fringe pike]

I think it was from like american amazon i believe

But it was a headache to get it from DHL

[mortal mantle]

anyone know what type of screw head i need for the 80he?

[fringe pike]

Philiphead i think

Not too big

[mortal mantle]

ok ty

[fringe pike]

Cant remember how they called tbh

[lime falcon]

You need PH1 screwdriver

[mortal mantle]

all good, i just keep having problems with the cable inside the case dont remember whats it called and the keyboard keeps disconnecting so i have to reconnect it better ig

[mortal mantle]

ty bigman

[fringe pike]

Yeah i had problems connecting it, i needed to bend the wire but it kept popping off xd

[mortal mantle]

thats 1 problem i had too but the big headache is it being like 0.1 cm off after a couple weeks/months of use and then dcing every couple minutes its insanely annoying

i might just tape that shit down or something

[fringe pike]

Frfr

[golden acorn]

i wanna get these keycaps. do you know any keycap set that has the iso enter?

[sullen ether]

is there possibly a video on how to dissassemble the zinc case

i cannot get the front off, at least not with easy

[floral fractal]

ok but the original 80he white zinc being a "misfit" and the same price of the new 60hev2 in the store is a god send. I just ordered my second 80he zinc for work. I have the original white zinc alloy currently at home and never had issues with it so this is like a steal to me.

[cobalt merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNa5wuqiFVY&t=1s

There's a timestamp for if you are plastic or metal case.

0:45 PCR ABS Assembly
4:14 Zinc Alloy Assembly

[lime falcon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnyG_a1kosg&t=4s

[cobalt merlin]

oh sorry, I gave you assembly, which would be in reverse LOL

and you asked about disassembly, which shafie found

[sullen ether]

I got it, the zinc case seems a little finiky took a lot of wiggling for the top to come off.

But now I'm having a weird issue where the right keys aren't being hit based off the key I'm pressing

[cobalt merlin]

which keys are off?

[sullen ether]

idk it seems fine now

[cobalt merlin]

if you have issues with random keypresses, the first thing to check is the connection between the keyboard PCB and the daughterboard PCB.

[sullen ether]

it was really weird, like ide try typign and it starting doing things like searching in discord then pulling up emojis, i went to opera and it opened history started deleting tabs

yeah i reseeted the pcb cable that didnt work

i pressed hard on each key to make sure each switch was all the way in and i think that fixed it

[cobalt merlin]

... did you have the "Fn" key pressed down accidentally by chance?

[sullen ether]

noo i have the fn layer rgb on so it would have turned on

i think mabye ctrl or windows buttons were constantly on

but its fine now :)

[cobalt merlin]

yay

I've had my case apart more times than I should, but I like tinkering

[warped perch]

the JST cable feels impossible...the cable in the youtube tutorial looks longer than the one in my case and trying to both have it actually plug in and also route through the routing channels seems a lot more difficult than it should be. prob skill issue, ill keep at it but feels off

edit: think i got it, we'll find out later 8)
edit2: nop cable is being very difficult, too stiff which makes it a pain to route through its channel so the pcb can lay flat like its supposed to

[golden acorn]

Forgot about yuzu keycaps can just make my own custom keycaps

this is all i need for the 80he right.. i didnt miss anything?

[lime falcon]

Yup

[sullen ether]

same i was tuning my spacebar stab again

my cerakey works fine upside down, but rightside up it is slow

still cant figure it out, no contact anywhere

[cobalt merlin]

I put a FR4 plate in and changed the sound insulation materials.

You might need stronger springs?

[sullen ether]

youd think if it was slow either way

but its only slow rightside up

[cobalt merlin]

is it binding on other keys, or is it misaligned to the spacebar?

Have you tried other spacebars also?

[sullen ether]

other keys work fine any which way

just the cerakey, so i think its just the way the weight of it is distributed mabye plays a part
