[lapis steeple]

🫢

[dusty sundial]

Dont forget the lube

More lube

[lapis steeple]

9000 cents right

[dusty sundial]

[vast dagger]

That's a big one if you can get stock lube to be good for the stabilizers

[lapis birch]

So with Alumaze it'll need a little grounding pad too for friction fit

[neat blaze]

Should fit the owlab case too right 😬

[short hare]

yes

[sullen solar]

how yall got the gradient in yoir name

[lapis birch]

You got too

[sullen solar]

i do?

maybe my names just too short to see

never knew discord could do that

more surprising than 60v2

[sick zinc]

Third I guess.

[whole oak]

How do you do, fellow gamers.

[sick zinc]

60HE v2 looks sick. An obvious improvement in all elements of design so far. Good job, Wooting!

They really edged us again with the reveal again, build up and then we get a JerryRig joke.

CAKE TIME!

[vale pulsar]

how much would it be?

[sick zinc]

We don't know quite yet.

[vale pulsar]

for sure 250

or 300

[fleet sentinel]

Dang no 7u space bar support

[sick zinc]

No price yet, but not much more then the 60HE+ atm.

So I would say $199? Which is me guessing.

Are the Lekker Tikken different in terms of performance than the Lekker v2s on the Wooting 80HE?

[fathom stratus]

i'm liking how it sounds so far

[sick zinc]

Lighting Silver True 8K pooling 60HE v2 with split space bar Lekker Tikken and way more dampening and two straps for maximum gamer sweating!

[proud flame]

looks very good not gonna lie

[austere edge]

not so PG calder

[tranquil moon]

likking calder became a reality

[proud flame]

i was about to buy geon raws with switch plate and upgrade my 60he+

excited for v2

[quaint schooner]

V2 coming ??? When ??

[whole oak]

Q4

[proud flame]

lets hope its 199$

[exotic meadow]

hi

[proud flame]

hahaha

[quaint schooner]

XDDD

[tropic relic]

👀👀

[sick zinc]

I like it especially since I do not feel bad as someone who has been waiting to receive his 80HE for 6 months but it is an obvious evolution of the 60HE+ and a great way to celebrate a 10 year anniversary in a livestream which just ended. Let's go for the next 10, Wooting!

[quaint schooner]

200-220 most likely

[sick zinc]

Yeah, I would call $199-220 as well. But you never know.

[quaint schooner]

since it won't have a high price difference to 60he+

175 (60he+)
30-55usd is a good price increase imo

[sick zinc]

Yeah, I feel like that is a reasonable estimate. Maybe if you want the Silver case it would add up to a bit more.

[quaint schooner]

$10 more

and no keycaps (?)

not sure

[sick zinc]

Also ISO layout might be another 10er... Who knows...

[night anchor]

👀

[drowsy peak]

does anyone know if they’ll also sell PCB individually?

[silk scroll]

The backwards compatibility with the new switches and the upcoming knobs is really awesome to see, gives a lot of confidence in Wooting products!

[quaint schooner]

ye, will be available in module version

[drowsy peak]

tyty

[thorn swallow]

hey, guys I own a he60+, whats new in v2?

[mint cape]

8k hz pulling and some other things

[quaint schooner]

#📣│announcements message

So it is still wired?

[short hare]

yes

[grizzled salmon]

I'll probably cop

[mint cape]

what is Friction fit mount

[whole oak]

Kept in place with elastic rubber bands.

[mint cape]

cool

thanks

[slender kelp]

Is it compatible with the Optimum Case?

[devout crater]

What is the resolution of the key travel adjustment?

[mint cape]

should be

[whole oak]

Yes.

[dark anchor]

Talk about bad timing, I just got a message that my 60he+ is ready for pickup at the post office 😵 would liked to have waited if I had this info a few days ago..

[peak prairie]

Return it

Easy

[past fiber]

Well, I’ll received my OG model tomorrow, guess I should have wait 😫

[restive lotus]

when is q4?

[mint cape]

the changes in performance arent that big for a casual so if you are casual you probly dont need a v2

[astral kelp]

recieved tomorrow hmmmm timetraveler

[restive lotus]

ima buy it the day it drops so i gotta know

[short hare]

end of the year

[distant mulch]

Just assume christmas/new years eve, then you’ll not be disappointed too much

[astral kelp]

if hes lucky

[restive lotus]

bet i got a custom 60he rn and i love it so im hype

[dark anchor]

@mint cape I like the alu case, friction fit and no strap option, so I think i will return it and wait

[fierce marsh]

holding out for an upgraded full size keyboard. it has to happen. it has to 🥲

[lucid trout]

Raclette are we gonna have preorder role?

[uncut wyvern]

Lemme just put this out there 8k polling on a keyboard is not very noticeable at least if you are a human I have the 60he+ and it’s deff cool a v2 is coming out but im prolly not gonna upgrade unless I break my he+

[final lodge]

Forsen

[short hare]

dont know the details on that yet. will let you guys know when it gets to that point

[graceful kayak]

Did they say the price of the v2?

[short cosmos]

No

[devout crater]

If v2 has 0.01mm travel adjustment?

[lucid trout]

Well if no role why preorder raclette

[pulsar patio]

Same ( totally not coping )

[ripe depot]

Two spacebars for what?

[graceful kayak]

If they keyboards like 200 i may sell my 60he its aging

[short cosmos]

Pointless

[short cosmos]

Typing and stuff ?

[empty holly]

X2

[sleek birch]

For anything you need a key for

[graceful kayak]

A lot of people perfer split keyboards so I think its trying to mimic that, and I know some typists like it, its an optional thing though

[ripe depot]

Right

[graceful kayak]

Honestly idk why split I feel like 3% of ppl like it

[devout crater]

why? i think it’s more noticeable than 8k polling rate

[short cosmos]

U cant use the keyboard at all bc everything would be “pressed” and activated all the time

[spring stirrup]

Yes, more noticeable misinputs. I think you dont understand how small is 0.01

[dense burrow]

havent used split spacebar but other than for maybe rhythm games i cant imagine it being comfortable moving thumb around for a button you use so much. but could be wrong, again, havent actually used it

[graceful kayak]

Why rhythm games? Is there like a mechanic in all of them

[devout crater]

ummm i can set for example 3.55mm actuation point

[dense burrow]

not really, just something that came to mind. certainly doesnt seem appealing to me in an fps or such

[narrow void]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[ripe depot]

I saw a video where someone complained about only hitting the left side of their spacebar while gaming and it eventually wore out. Maybe having 2 spacebars you can use one for gaming and one for actual typing

[dense burrow]

ya true there is probably people that can make it work. from my perspective the thumb just seems like the finger i want to move around the least

[devout crater]

i absolutely know what’s 0.01mm bro… i have a master degree of electrical engineering lol

[ripe depot]

Yeah

[quaint schooner]

bro is talking as if wooting is a custom board

that's kinda cringe imo

[graceful kayak]

I can see split for if you want optimal bindings for a game, like I’ve switched from WASD to UHJK. A split would be good for that

[spring stirrup]

Then you should know that 0.01mm rapid trigger is pointless and you wont be able to use it properly without increased deadzone. So whats the point? It will only increase your misinputs and make your consistency worse.

[oblique pendant]

There's a certain kind of rhythm game that has you press 8k at once. While using pinky is fine, it's much better to use thumb because you have a lot more range of motion with it. However because most keyboard only have 1 spacebar, some player have to use the num 0 on big numpad or use the alt key. Since 60hev2 is going to have a split spacebar, it'll give two thumb their own big button to press as opposed to only 1.

[graceful kayak]

Wait your right ive played a 7k game if you can have 2 spacebar binds for both thumbs that would be great

[oblique pendant]

for 5k, 7k, and 9k it's fine. It's only problematic on 8k and 10k.

I play 4k all the way to 8k, so a split spacebar is really beneficial to me.

[graceful kayak]

Yeah no i can see using two thumbs being great. I barely play more than 5 keys because my brain cannot handle it

[devout crater]

it’s no about the dead zone. ill not set the rapids trigger at 0.01mm, but i want it to be 0.25mm, not 0.2 nor 0.3.

[narrow void]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[oblique pendant]

You know, you can still use both thumb when playing 5k and 7k, just share the spacebar between both thumb.

[lucid trout]

You know sound is subjective right

[sleek birch]

The only point i agree with you is the split right shift

[graceful kayak]

Spacebar would be fine but i feel like i cant spam it fast on faster maps

[formal vapor]

v2 got people geeking

[quaint schooner]

no tactile

[peak prairie]

Gleeking

[spring stirrup]

Also you are calling everything cringe, maybe you are cringe?

[formal vapor]

neo65 is peak

[spring stirrup]

[graceful kayak]

Wooting needs to invent adjustable tactiles

How 💀💀

I legit said grammar left the chat

?

[peak prairie]

Someone is mad

Holy

[lucid trout]

Well you actually did grammar mistake.

[quaint schooner]

1. You're asking a $200-300 gaming prioritized keyboard to have sound and feel as $200-300 mech keeb

2. full right shift is common for people who are new / not interested with custom community keyboards, and if u want to have those layouts just buy other pcb (rakka, venom)

3. pcb mount stabs r better rather than plate mount, don't u have a "expensive" custom mech keyboard that uses those as well? or u're bad at modding the stabs for your wooting? when modding please test it first, don't screw all together before u're satisfied with the build.

4. keyboard sound & feel is subjective

[pliant tinsel]

This is also poor grammar 😭

[quaint schooner]

sorry for the poor grammar,

One typo did not need to cause all of this 😭😭😭

[peak prairie]

It’s kinda funny

[quaint schooner]

fn?

i would love to see people's ideas for the 1u key on spacebar

[vast dagger]

Whatever you want it to be

[peak prairie]

Or even just like binds or macros

I assume

[quaint schooner]

maybe a knob?

like this

[graceful kayak]

What am i LOOKING AT

[quaint schooner]

HAHAHHAHAHA

[peak prairie]

That is cursed 😭😭

[lucid trout]

Change it to 6.25u because split keyboard is cringe

[quaint schooner]

is it possible tho(?)

[peak prairie]

Split keyboard looks dope

[paper kindle]

thanks I hate it

[sick valley]

no

[quaint schooner]

HAHAHHAHAHAH

[quaint schooner]

ill probably find a way to make it another keybind for modded minecraft coz damn that thing takes up the whole keyboard

sorry mate

but ngl,
i prefer 7u over 6.25

[peak prairie]

Yessir ez

[short cosmos]

Imagine buying a 2he and only put knobs on it

[quaint schooner]

and now i'm dealing with a stress which to buy

[graceful kayak]

Need a keyboard where every key is a knob

[quaint schooner]

benom 7u or wooting v2

honestly i like that this version has a more matte black color

[narrow void]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quaint schooner]

wooting should make it

[paper kindle]

HE switches could already effectively work similar to kknobs tho

like they're analog

[prime laurel]

guys i just ordered Optimum , i mean it's back ordered , would i get the new HEV2 ? or should i cancel xD

[graceful kayak]

Hall-effect knobs with 360 rapid trigger

[quaint schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-optimus-prime-gkn-gif-9855579477037581607

he'll be there soon

[peak prairie]

More than Meets the eye.

[lucid trout]

Maybe because you can switch between split and 6.25u without diffrent pcba?

[gritty tulip]

Is there going to be a new role with the V2?

[sick valley]

consider friction mount vs other mounts you like on benom

[peak prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/gojo-jjk-pink-role-gif-701518254404567742

[quaint schooner]

2.75u is a normal ansi layout,
if u want 1.75u(shift) and 1u(fn) that's a tsangan layout

[sick valley]

no

[quaint schooner]

ye that's what i'm considering rn

[peak prairie]

I didn’t meant it. I’m sorry

[gritty tulip]

[prime laurel]

fixed @quaint schooner

why dont I have a role

[lucid trout]

Well i do not like split spacebar, so atleast i have option to change it

[whole oak]

Optimum is a case and keycaps, not a keyboard.

If you ordered a 60HE+ module to go with it, then that's what you'll get.

[peak prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-reaction-low-tier-god-gif-3069402631519613407

[quaint schooner]

i haven't tried friction fit mount

[spring stirrup]

only the case?

[peak prairie]

Link discord in wooting hub. But white role is better

[graceful kayak]

Why can ppl send gifs this can get out of hand

[quaint schooner]

but benom can use friction fit right?
u have to cut some of it tho

it's kinda set that there is no special role for 60he v2

[paper kindle]

lit role color wtf

[graceful kayak]

Pink so underrated

[quaint schooner]

[prime laurel]

still it's back ordered i want to change the module to HEv2 instead of the + , if possible

[paper kindle]

that is so sick Raquel

[peak prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/magenta-role-gif-10810352399073469204

Wait can we get a split keyboard that is gojo themed?

Iykyk

[quaint schooner]

cancel the order

[short hare]

sure but thats up to you ;)

[paper kindle]

fr ong, i have a pink purse and it's so cute

I love pink

[vast dagger]

V2 isn't estimated to be coming out till Q4 this year

[peak prairie]

I mean at least it’ll be canon

[quaint schooner]

hey thats close to when i get to be home again

[spring stirrup]

I would cancel for sure, not only because of 60he+, but you also ordered jades. They are outdated and expensive.

60HE v2 with new Tikken switches will be massive upgrade over that.

[whole oak]

Cancel the order on the hub.

[peak prairie]

Jades

Bad take

[paper kindle]

the hub? 🤔

[spring stirrup]

wooting hub

[peak prairie]

👀

[candid solar]

How much is 60he v2 module

[graceful kayak]

I would wear pink more but theres not much pink stuff for boys i feel like

[prime laurel]

Ouch, i'm in need for a keyboard estimated arrivle will be mid June , if i cancel i will order other one with different key i guess, if V2 coming Q4 year it's too far for me i'm not Keyboard guru so what do you tihnk

[spring stirrup]

We dont know the price yet, close to 200$ probably

[peak prairie]

No confirmation. Around $219

[paper kindle]

I dont wear a lot of pink clothes, but I liek pink things

[sleek birch]

Dont talk about my jades like that

[candid solar]

Pain

[peak prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-joker-really-bad-gif-14493993

[graceful kayak]

Didnt mean wear but just also like accessories too

[spring stirrup]

Yeah, but it seems like a pretty nice upgrade over the previous 60he model

[bleak hamlet]

I dont think the module will be 45 bucks more expensive just cause of 8k

[paper kindle]

I'm on a quest to slowly replace everything I own to lavender and white colored variant

[spring stirrup]

Its not only just 8k

[edgy flint]

me when ive only had my wooting60he for a year but then i see the wooting v2

do i do it chat

[paper kindle]

I need either a good white deskpad, or lavender deskpad

[prime laurel]

I feel really disappointed when you mentioned the key switched are shit XD

[candid solar]

Yeah but I'm planning a trip this summer which is gonna cost me a bunch of money, hopefully I'll have another 300 for a new module when it's available

[paper kindle]

it will have been two years once v2 is out

[bleak hamlet]

Comparing both modules not much is different

[edgy flint]

mmm

thing is, wooting are a lot of money (and for good reason)

[spring stirrup]

oh if you want just the module, i doubt it will be 200 or over that

i meant the prebuilt

[bleak hamlet]

Prebuilt is a different story

[candid solar]

I just need module to throw it into my tofu

But I'm Canadian so prob still 260-300$

[spring stirrup]

very clear difference there

[candid solar]

Fr4 plate is cool

[bleak hamlet]

Those are the prebuilds

[spring stirrup]

module is the same but without switches and a case

[candid solar]

And when is this available? Late q4?

[spring stirrup]

Yes

Those new switches are very promising too, closed bottom 4mm 👀

[candid solar]

Probably just gonna keep my tee hees

[spring stirrup]

Yeah, they are probably similar, except the travel distance

[candid solar]

Yeah i kinda like the shorter travel

[spring stirrup]

If you want keyboard now then get it, but I would cancel jades and get something else, because there are cheaper and better alternatives

[candid solar]

Og jades kinda suck compared to ti he

More expensive for significantly worse wobble

[spring stirrup]

Yeah

[peak prairie]

Not kinda

A lot

[sinful plover]

i think i will be one of the rarest customers

ISO with split space

[short hare]

[peak prairie]

Peak

[vast dagger]

There will be at least 12 others

[sinful plover]

there are dozens of us!!!!!

[lilac fossil]

Now find an iso split space keycaps set

[short hare]

like lil eggies

[vast dagger]

Every GMK set has you covered

[sinful plover]

gonna have to dig through my gmk sets and see what ive got

[vast dagger]

Yeah for some reason they keep putting all these useless ISO enter keys in my GMK boxes

[candid solar]

Would've loved to see 7u support

[rigid rover]

Will we have first dibs as founders XD

[candid solar]

If they do a founder campaign I may have to be apart of it

Regardless of how much my wallet is begging me not too

[short hare]

no founder campaign

[lucid trout]

No role then

[quaint schooner]

no role?

[candid solar]

I assumed there wouldn't because it's just a refresh not an entirely new product

[quaint schooner]

that's sad

[short hare]

maybe we do something as a 'first batch role'

but

[storm prawn]

missed opportunity to go 65 on it /:

[candid solar]

Can you confirm whether or not the module is gonna come with the fr4 plate?

[whole oak]

Of course it will.

[candid solar]

Sweet

[sinful plover]

first batch role will exist anyway

[timber nimbus]

would assume it's same as current module in that the module is just the entire prebuilt pcb section

[sinful plover]

maybe not permanent

i still have my first 80he batch role

[short hare]

I think its up to tony or Mark to nuke those

[sinful plover]

i hope they dont

i like being a champion

[night anchor]

What I’m most interested in is whether there will be new prints on the PCB, I want Shafie under the letter “F,” like Fluxes.

[spring stirrup]

☠️ stop

[short hare]

needs validation from a role, cute

[rare karma]

Is the new v2 module compatible with the old case? Or do I need to buy everything a new?

[spring stirrup]

Yes

[short hare]

yes

[night anchor]

What about B better?

[whole oak]

The v2 is backwards compatible.

[paper kindle]

You wouldn't understand, your role is the cutest shit ever

[short hare]

[candid solar]

I can't wait to throw this in my tofu build

[late bison]

glad i waited and praying its in my budget 🙏

[sinful plover]

you have time to save up until then

[late bison]

smart

[teal basalt]

Does anyone here play Fortnite? If so what would you use the 2 extra spacebar keys for?

[teal basalt]

Lol

[prime laurel]

so basically the performance of the switches are worse? than the alternative ? how big a deal is this?

[spring stirrup]

They will feel worse because of more stem wobble

[rare karma]

Budgets are time dependent. The longer you wait, the more money you can save up to spend

[spring stirrup]

those switches are so old and still cost 70$ for no reason

[prime laurel]

i see what would be another alternative ?

i wouldn't cancel becasue i don't know how long they wil need for the refund

[spring stirrup]

Cancellations have high priority

[spring stirrup]

If you want everything from wooting, get raws

[prime laurel]

i would ask the support ot switch my switches out. in my order since it's not been shipped yet since optumim is pre-ordered until june

[outer lion]

There are wooting plushies????

I need one

[prime laurel]

what about TTC

[whole oak]

If you want something different than your order states, cancel the order from the hub.
Unless it's a unique order like the OWlabs case - then put the order on hold on the hub and reach out support.

[spring stirrup]

TTC are very expensive and their factory lube is so bad, they need to be hand lubed for better sound/feel

Just get raws

[short hare]

prototyping it

[glad falcon]

does the original wooting 60he get 8k polling?

[sleek birch]

If youve never used HE switches before just try the lekkers first

[whole oak]

No.

[drowsy gale]

get the jade pros on alixpress

they are like 40$

if u buy for like a 80%

for 60he its prob cheaper

[spring stirrup]

at that point get owlabs 😭

[bitter marlin]

So the dual space bar thing. Can i customize what i want on the same board i buy, or will i have to choose between large space bar or two buttons?

[soft sentinel]

Any option for shipping directly from China, if US tariffs still will be nonsense?

[spring stirrup]

You either order full spacebar or split

[teal basalt]

Can you remap the right spacebar to something else?

[whole oak]

To... where?

[spring stirrup]

You cant change it after that

[soft sentinel]

For my country it is an optimal option.

[soft sentinel]

Russia

[whole oak]

We don't ship to Russia cause you know... the war. Nothing to do with the US.

[soft sentinel]

Keyboard under sanctions to? Because no problems to order from China

[bitter marlin]

So if i order split space bar and i dont like it, there will be no way to switch back to single space bar setup?

[spring stirrup]

Correct

[whole oak]

Correct.

[soft sentinel]

Ok, if not. Shipping to China warehouse to forwarder?

[whole oak]

If you're using a parcel forwarder, that has nothing to do with us.

[soft sentinel]

I order and pay. But need an option order to address in China. Forgot, is it possible via site or not.

[whole oak]

You can place an order to China with a Chinese address and ... whatever social security number they use.

[soft sentinel]

Hm, social security number. It will be a little bit harder

Will hope US tariffs become in a normal state.

[grim glen]

citizen number or some such name they have

[lucid trout]

I understand now why wooting didnt put preorders

All because of Americans and their tarrifs

[lilac fossil]

Will the split spacebar version get 2 stabs for the 2 parts of the spacebar ?

[small flame]

will this sork with the OW case

[spring stirrup]

yes

[soft sentinel]

So, one PBC for both versions?

[whole oak]

Four SKUs.

ISO, ANSI
Split of each, Non-Split of each

[lavish hornet]

why would you need SSN or something like it to forward a shipment xd

[whole oak]

You need a Chinese SSN to order anything TO China. Doesn't matter if it's going to a forwarder and onward.

[lavish hornet]

ah

[late quail]

quick question, can we use the OW60 for the hev2?

[short hare]

yes

[lavish hornet]

wooting doesn't ship to my country (Iraq), but I just forwarded the shipment from the UK and everything went smoothly 🙏

[late quail]

ah sweet, just received email stating i got the sweepstake thingy

[short hare]

The 60HE v2 is fully customizable and compatible with most after-market cases and parts. And of course our own Wooting products, including the Optimum- and Owlab case

[fallen breach]

I bought a 60HE+ yesterday and just seen this new release...

[soft sentinel]

Finally. Thx.

[lavish hornet]

I bought the 60HE+ like 2 months ago 😭

I'll still get the 60hev2 tho

[late quail]

i bought the 80 few months back

[short hare]

just a great way to work on your keyboard collection

[earnest marsh]

is this thumbnail refreshed yet

[late quail]

please no hahahaha

[lavish hornet]

🔥

[earnest marsh]

https://wooting.io/wooting-60he-v2

yes

[short hare]

[fallen breach]

We don't know the price yet. Maybe its much more expensive

[earnest marsh]

do you want to pin that one instead raqqy-chan

[lavish hornet]

I never intended on having a keyboard collection but I have like 5 keyboards already 😭

[soft sentinel]

Modular PCB's will be later?

[hoary trout]

he said small jump in price compared to 60he+

So i think its gonna be maybe 50€ difference max but i could be wrong

[fallen breach]

mh.. Im just a bit mad about the new case.. I have to buy one for 160 bucks while the new ones comes with an aluminum case

[languid mulch]

Is the wooting 60 he v2 better than 80 he ?

[whole oak]

Such is the passage of time. New products, new standards.

[hoary trout]

both are 8k

[quaint schooner]

#🌟│wooting80he message

[spring stirrup]

Just layout difference

[quaint schooner]

read there

[teal basalt]

main differences are the split spacebar and 60% layout

[fallen breach]

True

[languid mulch]

Ah okay thx

[hoary trout]

Do anyone know someone who is using Split Spacebar already?

Im not sure if its worth tho

[lavish hornet]

It's somewhat similar to the 80HE so I wouldn't expect that much of a jump

the 60HE+ is 175$, and the 80HE is 200$

[quaint schooner]

rakka users

[hoary trout]

Yeah but now comes with Alu Case tho

[lavish hornet]

ah true

forgot that point

😭

[quaint schooner]

max 229 is my guessing

or maybe 239

[fallen breach]

Maybe the price of the alu cases will drop a bit for "old" version?

[teal basalt]

why would it be more expensive than the 80he

[quaint schooner]

alu case

[teal basalt]

oh

[lavish hornet]

ya that makes sense now

[quaint schooner]

the stock wooting 60he v2 use alu case

that's the reason why it's gonna be a bit more expensive than the 80he

and it seems like the 60he v2 looks like oring mounted with friction fit

[hoary trout]

i kinda think its gonna be around 220-240€ max

[quaint schooner]

yep

i think i'm not the market for that keeb

[hoary trout]

But rn i dont see any cons for having a split spacebar, if you get used to it it might be goated

[quaint schooner]

the reason is i'm looking for 7u

[bitter marlin]

Typing might really suck on it. Cant say for.sure as i never tried

[soft sentinel]

If at launch will be a modular version, will order both.

[hoary trout]

prob just need time to get used to it

[bitter marlin]

And the middle button will be for what? Another Fn button?

[soft sentinel]

Whatever you want

[earnest marsh]

whatever you want 😘

[bitter wasp]

whats the diffrence between 60he and 60hev2? To me it seems the same as razer re releasing the same product

but putting V1..2...3..pro etc

no hate

[sinful plover]

Higher polling rate, new pcb design, option for split spacebar, better stock experience

Comes stock with alu case and new switches

[timber nimbus]

the page covers it. Alu case, new better switches, 8k poll/scan, friction fit setup stock

i'm not sure how it's anything like razer

[bitter wasp]

so like if i buy new switches and alu case for 60he I can just make it the same as 60hev2?

[mint cape]

no

[bitter wasp]

or did they made new switches incompatable with the old model

[timber nimbus]

minus the 8k poll/scan and slightly different foam sandwich layout sure

[bitter wasp]

ok great

[whole oak]

You need the new PCB for 8khz

[copper sphinx]

oh nice the OG case turned aluminum with some tweaks, and new standard travel switches. That is a tough combo! the OG case deserved some metal, such an underrated design IMO

[sinful plover]

honestly i would like it a lot more if it didnt have that giant lip at the front

[late quail]

for the wooting60he+ in store now, is it better to just grab the full pre-built with another additional $50 or just grab the pcb only at a lesser price

[sinful plover]

you would have to get your own case and keycaps and switches

[small lark]

It has release date?

Im going to USA

Idk if

It will be able to buy

[sinful plover]

q4

[small lark]

What is that

[sinful plover]

4th quarter of the year

[small lark]

Im from brazil

I have to serch

[spring goblet]

Q4, or the fourth quarter, is the last quarter of the financial year for companies. The Q4 dates for most companies follow the calendar year, starting on Oct. 1 and ending on Dec. 31

[sinful plover]

buying in USA might not be cheaper for you due to tarriffs

[small lark]

It is

The keyboard it’s 3k here

[sinful plover]

or if it is, not much cheaper and you still run into problems if they check your bags when coming back

[small lark]

The woothing he

[spring goblet]

prices in brazil are a lot higher then in the USA, even with the tarriffs

[small lark]

Yeah

[sinful plover]

you should buy from canada or eu anyway to avoid US tarriffs

[small lark]

Im going day 22

So I’m not able to buy it

Im have to get to he+

[late quail]

yeah i'll probably use the ow60, i have my own switches and caps
just thinking if i should get the whole set for the extra stuff

[copper sphinx]

looks fine to me and even bevels all around has been done to death

[distant mulch]

it's just pretty samesy with the old design, which also was not liked by everybody

[whole oak]

Good thing it'll be available as a module for aftermarket cases then. Make it your own

[sand estuary]

Anyone know what the price will be on it ?

[copper sphinx]

I'd take that design over some door wedge or side curves that's been repeated a million times

[sand estuary]

I love their boards, but the metal case tax goes hard, and they'll be looking a little out of touch if they mark it up in like the 350+ range and stop selling the original

[short hare]

Price isnt confirmed yet. Calder said on stream that it will be a slight increase of the current 60he, but he doesn't want it to be a massive jump in price. Any number thats mentioned by someone in the Discord is their own speculation

[whole oak]

Hopefully the trade war reaches a better place by the time we reach manufacturing and import.

[peak prairie]

$219

Calling it now

[short hare]

is that pre or after all your extra taxes and tariff

[sullen solar]

chinese users on bilibili are begging for them to officially be sold in china

[peak prairie]

I’m moving to Netherlands to buy it then moving back

Ez

[short hare]

[peak prairie]

[slender plank]

218 Euros

[past fiber]

My OG 60he just arrived, should I return it ?

[peak prairie]

1 upping me

[short hare]

you gotta wait a long time until the v2 tho

but in the end its up to you

[gleaming isle]

Yo will be wooting 60he v2 be wireless or still with cable?

[short hare]

still not wireless

[gleaming isle]

Thanks god

[heavy tiger]

Hello people. I have a few questions about this 60HE V2

1. Will the Alumaze 60 fit it?
2. Will a white or concrete style 60HE V2 release? Or is it black only?
3. Can I order more of those new Lekker Switches to replace my old Two Lekker's Switches?

[hoary trout]

Im kinda disappointed its not Spacebar & Split Spacebar on one PCB. For someone who doesnt have a Wooting yet its def good even to buy the 1 Spacebar cause Wooting finaly improved Stock Quality but for someone who has a full Modded Wooting i feel like Wooting wouldve been in the Position to make a step like this

[short hare]

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes Lekker Tikken will also be available alone

[spring goblet]

I wish we could have the og 60HE or even the 60HE+ wireless, I just like the wooting quality and versatility

[short hare]

[spring stirrup]

why?

it kills the point of hall effect

[heavy tiger]

Nice nice. Is the new case an overall upgrade over the already good Alumaze 60?

[slender plank]

268 Euros * I forgot its Alu

[spring goblet]

right now I have my computer far away from my desk, so a big usb cable across the room is not very good

[cursive shale]

Can I only purchase the module when the V2 came out? I just won the sweepstakes for OW60

[slender plank]

got a pic?

[spring stirrup]

Even if it was wireless, you would need to charge it so often, because hall effect sensors need a lot more power than regular MX keyboards

[slender plank]

i am picturing it in my head and it aint making sense

[olive herald]

you could check out building a custom board with via support if you wanted better quality and better software but its more effort to build your own

[spring stirrup]

• more latency, of course.

[spring goblet]

I use my computer on a rack on one side of the room and the desk on the other side, unless I reconfigure the whole space, I have a big usb cable for peripherals

[spring goblet]

for that I have a charger on the desk, no issues at all

[sinful plover]

calling it now, price will be somewhere between 0 dollars and 1.2 trillion dollars

probably closer to the 0

[heavy tiger]

Also anothr question for @short hare
4. Will we get a new carry case? Or is it the same one we got for the 60 HE?

[spring goblet]

I'm looking into building a custom keeb for this but I think it can be a real challenge to match the 60HE+

[cursive shale]

Like replacing the wooting HE+ module?

[short hare]

I actually dont know haha

[spring goblet]

I don't expect a wooting wireless to be as responsive as the wired keyboard, it would just be nice to have 🙂

[cursive shale]

@short hare will there available as module to purchase?

[olive herald]

yea, unfortunately HE tech is really power hungry. maybe look into inductive switches, worse performance but good wireless capability

[spring goblet]

oh I see, I haven't though about how much power the keyboard would need, I'll take a look into those, thank u!

[spring stirrup]

at that point get good mx keyboard (wireless)

inductive switch keyboards are not it

they have terrible software and performance

[civic ocean]

wat the difference between 60 he v2 vs 60 he +

worth the upgrade to get the 60 he v2 or nah

[hoary trout]

8K Polling Rate

[spring stirrup]

way better stock experience

[civic ocean]

wats the polling rate for the ver 1, and how good is the difference

[spring stirrup]

There is no noticeable difference

What you will notice is way better sound/feel compared to previous 60he model

[oblique pendant]

that sound test on the stream is nice

[civic ocean]

whats the price gonna be tho

[solid anchor]

1k

[spring stirrup]

Yeah, for the rough soundtest like that it sounded nice. friction fit, silicone block, pet film and all those stuff do the job nicely

[spring goblet]

thanks for the info!

[spring stirrup]

we dont know yet

but price will be slightly higher than 60he+

[spring goblet]

information about the price is on the pinned messages for this channel

[oblique pendant]

Even if it's not what we wanted, it's at least an upgraded 60he with an option for split spacebar specific PCB/SKU for those who wants it.

[spring stirrup]

Yeah, seems like a nice upgraded version of 60he. I dont mind that its not 7u tsangan at all

I dont care

[oblique pendant]

I care a bit, but soo much that I'll scream about it.

[spring stirrup]

Stock experience will be nice, people wont say that stock wooting sucks lol

[wooden bluff]

suggestion about split spacebar version:

1. Ideally it would be this way: 2.50 - 1.25 - 2.50 (symmetrical halves of spacebar, and more aligned with homerow). (2.75 - 2.25 now)
2. but can also swap the sizes of left and right sides so it would be: 2.25 - 1.25 - 2.75 and more aligned with G | H, homerow typing (and less misclicks on the middle button with right thumb).
3. sure it looks more centered with the whole kb now - but functionality is more important, and normies won't buy this either (not for normies).

[olive herald]

yea im ngl if the split spacebar has a 1u key in the middle I think the enthusiasts will lose their shit

[olive herald]

looks good I like it 👍

this is probably my favourite wooting release after the original wooting boards

waiting on what alu it uses though

[wooden bluff]

but the split spacebar 2.25, 2.75 keycap market is already tiny etc - Wooting would just set this standard with 2.50 keycaps instead.
(normal concave 2.25 and 2.75 caps can't be used for spacebar's convex caps)

[olive herald]

I do agree with this

wooting already has the appeal of the gaming community, they can release whatever and it will have top tier specs and people will enjoy it because a lot of people still think wooting or razer are the only companies with rapid trigger and he

if you're looking to appeal to keyboard enthusiasts, then look at what enthusiasts want

[heavy tiger]

Will a new wrist rest be released for the 60 HE V2?

[lucid trout]

Mansen why not release same plate for split and normal when you could definetly run 6.25u on split stabs

[whole oak]

Can't

Switch is offset

[lucid trout]

Is it on purpose?

[whole oak]

By necessity

[lucid trout]

Definetly..

[olive herald]

I mean not really most split keyboard generally support one plate because its designed to be flexible

its only a necessity if wooting sticks to an inflexible design, I think thats what he means @lucid trout

I mean some boards support split spacebar and normal for 6.25u and 7u all on one plate

so idk how its a necessity

[glacial socket]

I’m so hyped for it

[lucid trout]

Prebuilt man

[olive herald]

I mean if they used some designs elements like the pi60 pcb it supports 6u 6.25u 7u and 10u and split spacebar with ansi tsangan hhkb wkl iso and arrow key layouts all on one plate and pcb

idk why its a necessity for wooting to not have a plate that fits split and normal

[lucid trout]

But how it can work in gh60

[olive herald]

The main reason why it's not GH60 compatible is just because of the centered USB-C port and the standard mounting holes. It is actually compatible for a lot of cases which use a gasket, o ring, top mount, etc. and are meant for daughter boards.

otherwise it would fit in a lot of GH60 cases just make sure its not tray mount

should be easy though because tray mount is often considered the worst feeling and sounding mount

[lucid trout]

Well it uses friction fit as default

[whole oak]

We already had this conversation earlier. Can't have the switch in both positions.

[olive herald]

you literally can 😭

I can straight up swap my venom right now from 7u to 6.25u even though the switches overlap

[whole oak]

clipping switches noises

[lucid trout]

Um wtf is clipping switches

[whole oak]

You can't convert split to 6.25 or vice versa. So there's no point in trying to make a cross compatible plate that reduces the mounting hold, when you need to buy another module anyhow.

[oblique pendant]

Venom 80he or venom 60he?

[olive herald]

80

[oblique pendant]

oh

yeh, that's nice

standard tkl now a little bit too big for me tho

[olive herald]

venom 65 soon 👀

[lucid trout]

How much units is wooting split spacebar including key in middle?

[olive herald]

I'm making a 4.5mm brass plate sandwich mount keyboard compatible with the venom 65 I genuinely cant wait

[tropic relic]

The PCBA has to support it, which is where the issue lies. Yes, it is possible to do and yes, a single plate can support numerous layouts but Woot didn’t go with that option.

[whole oak]

No idea off the top of my head. You can see renders on the 60HEv2 product page and measure.

[tropic relic]

1.25

total 6.25

[whole oak]

If I had to guess, 225, 125 and 175?

[olive herald]

I understand if they dont go with it but calling it a necessity is a bit misleading no?

[lucid trout]

So technicly we can use it

[tropic relic]

2.75 - 1.25 - 2.25

[whole oak]

Fat fingers

[tropic relic]

Where did they say a necessity?

[tropic relic]

It fits but the PCBA does not support it, so no.

[olive herald]

here

@tropic relic

[tropic relic]

Well, it’s what they went with. It is very possible and already done though.

[lucid trout]

And not having daughterboard addon huge l

[olive herald]

no daughterboard supp 💔

[tropic relic]

Wouldn’t be compatible with OW60 if they did add a JST connector.

[inner tartan]

There is a good alternative for build your own with db support already.

[olive herald]

I mean the venom is and it has a jst connector

[inner tartan]

99% of consumers arent going to feel comfortable breaking apart their PCB and not having a warranty

[tropic relic]

That is true.

[olive herald]

you dont need to add a daughterboard directly in the pcb, you can just have a jst connector and let enthusiasts buy a separate daughterboard

[tropic relic]

Just the connector. DB could and should come separately, ofc.

[olive herald]

also 99% of consumers wouldnt even touch it and will just use it in the regular case

[inner tartan]

No Im saying for those who buy a 3rd party center USB case and have to break off the port

[olive herald]

basically anyone who wants a daughterboard compat board and would benefit from it would be 100% fine with breaking it

[tropic relic]

I’m guessing the Venom in OW60 is resting on the JST connector then. Don’t think it’s
a problem but doubt it’s good for the connector and for sound.

[tropic relic]

Oh I see.

[olive herald]

its not, check rivions' build

theres enough space for it to flex and be soft without the jst hitting the bottom

[inner tartan]

Im just sad that the best part of the V2 hasnt been talked about yet today

[olive herald]

the best part would be 6063 t6 '

[lucid trout]

Which one

[inner tartan]

How much lift the keyboard can get when you attach 2 straps

[oblique pendant]

Aura farming

[tropic relic]

really?! I’ma check that when I get it.

thought it was almost flat

[oblique pendant]

Looks standard, but contain power beyond imagination.

[inner tartan]

If you attach a long strap from end to end it becomes a fashion accessory

[lucid trout]

No vertical strap no buy

[inner tartan]

He is correct. Works fine with that pcb and jst

[olive herald]

now I can crucify my wooting thank you

[tropic relic]

Sweet

[lucid trout]

@inner tartan can you lift your self by holding on 60hev2?

[hoary trout]

Can the 60HE V2 with 2 Straps hold the weight of 2 Monstertrucks driving full speed in opposite directions?

[whole oak]

Even better. Give it a shoulder strap.

[inner tartan]

It's only been tested with 2 yugo's and not any trucks

[hoary trout]

Why no Truck

I expect it to not break

[inner tartan]

Only had 3 cylinder yugo's at my disposal

[hoary trout]

Just buy 2 Monster Trucks

[hollow sentinel]

does anybody know how much will the wooting 60he v2 cost? cause if more then 200$ then i can't buy it cause in my country it's too much

[inner tartan]

Due to my age I now realize most people in here will be googling what a yugo is

[hoary trout]

i actualy did😭

[hoary trout]

prob around 220-240

[hollow sentinel]

oh...

[hoary trout]

we dont know any pricing yet, small amount more than the current wooting

[distant mulch]

look at the newest pinned comment

[spring stirrup]

no that is too much

calder said that it will be slightly more expensive than 60he+

[hollow sentinel]

oh okay

[spring stirrup]

220-240 is not slight difference

[olive herald]

as a wooting 60HE V2 I can personally confirm that I cost $300.

[distant mulch]

you don't know what slightly is for calder

[hoary trout]

Bro no way it costs only 200€

[lucid trout]

My bet is 200€ for eu and everyone else for usa 350€

[spring stirrup]

try to not mention USA for 24 hours

I gave you a tough challenge, I know

You can do it!

[raw herald]

The world is obsessed with us, @spring stirrup 😊

[inner tartan]

Jakub is mad almost all of his predictions were wrong. Give him some time to recover

[teal basalt]

I'm hoping there will be split spacebar pudding keycaps

[quartz hazel]

Performance and specs wise the 60he v2 performs the same as the 80he right or is it technically better?

[spring stirrup]

On paper they are the same

Might be tiny difference in latency, because of less keys on 60hev2

By tiny I mean 0.05ms or something like that

[lucid trout]

I was right about new 60he

And new switch

[hoary trout]

Im proud of you Jakubix

[inner tartan]

Fine you get partial credit along with the other people who guessed those 2 things

[lucid trout]

I was talking about new 60he and new switch for months

[timber nimbus]

Made a little something

oh wait i need to add the screw in stabs as stock

[inner tartan]

One of those may be incorrect

[timber nimbus]

which one?

[hoary trout]

Wooting MOUSE????

[timber nimbus]

the mouse confirmed?

[hoary trout]

WOOTING MOUSE JUST GOT LEAKED

OMG

[raw herald]

Believe

[inner tartan]

Did you mention relocatable/removeable strap?

[hoary trout]

Man Wooting Mouse 40+- Grams

I would buy it

[timber nimbus]

oh i can add that, i wasn't sure how relevant that was but no harm adding it

[raw herald]

When they say no, they mean

No(t yet)

[hoary trout]

Yes i agree

[inner tartan]

There is an entire gang of let-handed gamers who will appreciate it

They are very aggressive too

[hoary trout]

Thats the only thing that was on that Screenshot shoudl be incorrect

[timber nimbus]

mouse dreams crushed

[spring stirrup]

maybe add this too? optional silicone block/epdm foam for different sound profile

[timber nimbus]

yeah i put that as improved layering options for the foam/silicone

[inner tartan]

The silver case looked so good i thought

[wary bluff]

Mmmmmm split spacebar.

Finally I can use my thumb for more than just jump in games.

[teal basalt]

When will it be available for preorder?

[wary bluff]

Although curse you Wooting. I already pimped out my og 60he,then the arm version... Now I have to do it all again.

[hoary trout]

the stock v2 will be rly good tho maybe new switches and keycaps only

[spring stirrup]

True 60HE enjoyer

[timber nimbus]

Updated faq:

[spring stirrup]

[inner tartan]

Stock v2 is the best sounding pre-built stock board Ive seen

[hoary trout]

Mouse is fake News…

[spring stirrup]

👀

[wary bluff]

For real. My bank account doesn't love it though.

I'm assuming the module is the same size? I kind of want to do an all white build with the alumaze white, but only if it fits...

[spring stirrup]

Yes

[inner tartan]

Had to add pre-built in there or people will try and call BS lol

[spring stirrup]

Everything is backwards compatible

[wary bluff]

Nice.

Friction fit mount sounds interesting, need to watch the vid for more info. Assuming no white stick version.

Oh, I wonder if they'll sell the module to save me splashing on a stock aluminum case I maybe don't need... Though it does look nice.

[hardy wadi]

green wooting strap for 60v2?

[spring stirrup]

They will sell module, yes.

silver version does look nice tho

Love it.

[cursive shale]

does the v2 module fits the ow60 case?

[hardy wadi]

yes

[wary bluff]

I guess I'll be getting that white alumaze etc. ready. What am I going to do with 2 spare 60he though. I guess I could take one to work...

[spring stirrup]

Sell?

[heavy tiger]

Wait a second, how can the Alumaze 60 work with this new V2 module? isnt it friction mounted?

[inner tartan]

The standoff holes are still there

[teal basalt]

Q4 is when you can pre-order or order it?

[heavy tiger]

Is the Alumaze 60 a higher grade case than what the stock HE V2 is using?

[cursive shale]

Nice caused i just got the email for winning the sweepstakes XD

[spring stirrup]

They are probably same quality, new alu case is just different

[hardy wadi]

i didnt sign up for that because i forgor

[late quail]

actually how many unit were there for the sweepstake?

[earnest marsh]

different amounts for each layout, 200 in total

[sinful plover]

199 iso 1 ansi

[earnest marsh]

my dream

i meant layou/color also but wuteva

[stiff jackal]

I just ordered my 60he. Building my first keyboard. Now I was doubting between the 60 (love the 60 percent) and the 80 (because of the better hardware/polling). Is it worth sending my 60he back and wait a half year? Or doesn't it matter that much?

[sinful plover]

60he v2 will be a little bit more expensive as well just be aware

the hardware improvement is nice but its not so good to make the old one unusable

[spring stirrup]

stock 60he v2 will have way better stock experience (sound/feel), but youll have to wait half a year for it to arrive.

[sinful plover]

so if you are completely ok with waiting all that time, go ahead

otherwise just enjoy the board and upgrade later down the line/sell to someone and buy the v2 when it comes to it

[hollow lagoon]

60HE V2 price?¡

[wild agate]

There will be a module for sale separately right?

[spring stirrup]

Yes

[wild agate]

W

[soft sentinel]

I still think, what uni PCB was possible for v2. Just a little move switches to center.

stab switch, switch, switch stab. For 3 keys remove stabs. For big spacebar install

Keycaps does not have centered stem, but not a big deal

[lyric coral]

Are the new switches inspired by Jades?

[pure anvil]

wow

[naive rock]

wouldve been nice to have the non split space option of the 60heV2 to support other layouts like 7u, split shift and split backspace

[soft sentinel]

If I want split space. I don't have additional caps for Optimus set. So need to have two PCB's. Also one uni PCB must be more cost effective for manufacture, I suppose.

[ember geode]

would have been nice to have a lot more

[naive rock]

Yeah im just pointing out a few of the doable ones that geon has already done in their pcbs

I hope wooting could take that idea up too later

[ember geode]

i mean simple jst support

o ring compatibility

not expensive

[floral gull]

is this the silver version or is there a silver,white, and black version?

[ember geode]

idk why making a whole 2nd pcb for split spacebar was a good idea

over something a lot of people would actually buy like 7u, idk

[spring stirrup]

This is silver version, no info about white

[floral gull]

they mentioned a white version though, correct?

[timber nimbus]

7u is a lot less popular outside of custom keyboard niches than you think. They picked split spacebar because it has gaming purposes for the extra key more so than for enthusiast niche reasons

[spring stirrup]

I think calder said that they might not even do white version, instead they will release bright silver

[floral gull]

oh

i want a white 60he v2 😭

i could just get a tofu tho tbh with it

[dense condor]

anyone knows if a tofu60 redux will fit the v2?

[spring stirrup]

that silver is white ish, need more pictures tho

[floral gull]

idk what i'm going to do with my 60HE+ rn tho once i get the v2

[floral gull]

They said on stream it most likely will, the v2 can tray mount also since it has the screws Calder said.

[spring stirrup]

Yes

any compatible 60he+ case is compatible with 60he v2

[ember geode]

Im aware of the reasons they chose to move forward with it, but unless they have some performance reasons to market all the juice out of it to people, i dont think a lot of people will buy it

thats just an assumption though

[floral gull]

what are we all planning to do with our 60HE's when we upgrade to the v2?

[dense condor]

use it as a work keyboard ofcourse

[floral gull]

60% for work

[spring stirrup]

I already sold my 60he and will replace 80he with v2 60he 😆

[dense condor]

i have 3, 60he's lying about

2 at work

1 at home

hahha

[timber nimbus]

generally i think using custom niche demo wishes as the barameter for what will sell the best is a poor indicator. I do think tsangan layout would be cool, but I also don't think it'd be all that popular either vs. split spacebar

[floral gull]

where is your role

[dense condor]

thanks for the response lads

Im private owo

[ember geode]

im talking about the split spacebar

and i think the jst support is also an important talking point, considering how much the user base has grown to buy after market cases

[timber nimbus]

I don't think they're doing it because they think it'll be a particularly huge seller moreso as seeing something that might be cool for gaming and testing the waters

[ember geode]

sometimes solely hitting the gamers selling points isnt the only thing that should be considered

[timber nimbus]

true, but i think a lot of the folks coming in from the custom niche have a warped sense of what's popular due to the bubbles they exist in

for example venom 7u is heavily outsold by 6.25 even in korea

[ember geode]

like i mean i understand the companies target market is the gamers but like theyve also grown a sub-base of people who literally get a wooting to replace everything on it

[ember geode]

im not exclusively talking about 7u

also a lot of asian countries prefer smaller space bars lol

including korea and japan so that doesnt come as a surprise

[timber nimbus]

yeah i'm not saying they shouldn't eventually try other niches and such, but i think there's a lot of a particular demographic coming in right now not fully understanding the reasonings behind the choices from what I gather

[ember geode]

im very open minded about wootings choices

i just mean theres so much that can be done without spending crazy amounts

[timber nimbus]

it's basically a juggling act for them of reducing number of sku and prebuilts with the options you want is the tl;dr - it's not that they don't think tsangan and such might be cool, but rather that fitting them into initial runs like this is very tricky

[ember geode]

anyone who has put any thought into buying a wooting has looked slightly further into the keyboard hobby, theres just a lot of potential to play around with

thats all im saying

[timber nimbus]

i think the custom crowd should look at it honestly as wooting is open to it but has to figure out what can work and fit into their sku without them running into production issues trying to balance a pcb that fits prebuilt and all the sku people request

a lot of their difficulty isn't because they don't want to try those layouts but because there's constraints with running 50 different sku and prebuilt options

[ember geode]

well experimentation leads to further innovation

thats how we got wooting as it stands

[timber nimbus]

that's basically what they're doing now, experimenting

the problem currently is i don't think anyone requesting all the other layout abilities has given a way for them to do it easily while also offering their prebuilt options

it's easier to do if you say 'okay just don't offer prebuilds and have only pcb that has tons of options but has to be manually configured by the customer in specific ways' - but obviously that would never work for wootings customer base

[inner tartan]

That's the part a lot of people miss when they start saying things like "well venom this or rakka that". They aren't pre-builts. They don't have to worry about supporting the plug-n-play user, which is 99% of the market

[teal basalt]

where can you buy keycaps that include the split spacebar?

Im looking for pudding versions

[inner tartan]

Pudding arent typically the best quality so places like Amazon and AliExpress are a good place to start

[floral gull]

i'm pretty sure they are they same size as your standard right and left shift.

[teal basalt]

yeah but are there keycaps with spacebar legends that are that size?

[floral gull]

not sure

google it

[stark berry]

maybe it's a dumb question.. but like the 60he, is there plans to just do just the module again? idk if there was info and i just completely missed it or something

[raw herald]

Sometimes sets will have extensions for more spacebar compatibility, e.g. https://novelkeys.com/products/gmk-cyl-metropolis-r2-keycaps?variant=39541987541159

Can always peruse sets from retailers in https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

[teal basalt]

what are the measurements for the 3 keys

isnt it "(number)u"

[raw herald]

2.75u - 1.25u - 2.25u

[teal basalt]

thanks

[raw herald]

They said they will be selling 60HEv2 as a module as well

[stark berry]

thank you!

[floral gull]

on the split PCB, is there going to be an option to change it to a regular spacebar or are there no stabilizers?

[timber nimbus]

nope, check pins

[floral gull]

oh

[timber nimbus]

hrm i should add in the keycap sizing for the split spacebar to the faq

[teal basalt]

it also has to be convex to feel like a spacebar. lol theres no way i can find pudding version of that

I might just stick with the stock ones

[stoic glade]

I cannot wait to upgrade my 60HE hooollllyyyy

what's the size of a split spacebar normally?

[gusty nacelle]

It’s not worth

[visual raptor]

mewwwww, my 60HE module v1 arrived today 🙈 🥳

I must say, those gateron jade HE switches feel very smoooooooooth right out of the box

[stoic glade]

it's not out yet but why not? I'd just be buying the module and I don't mind spending around like 150 or whatever, I would have the spare money

[visual raptor]

(am still going to lube them though, for consistency)

[gusty nacelle]

It’s a waste of money 😂if you already have the v1

[thin meadow]

i have a question, what happens to the 60he v1, is it going to be a separate product or is wooting planning on not selling it anymore

i know there will be firmware for it but what happens to the physical product

[stoic glade]

oh okay, thanks for the heads up but I'll just be doing it to support wooting indirectly. fucking love my wooting module :)

[timber nimbus]

would assume it gets retired like lekker v1 vs lekker v2 when the v2 comes out

[raw herald]

And 60HE non-plus, yeah.

[stark berry]

i missed using the split space so bad, i knew i'd buy one if they'd release one.. my dreams have come true 🙏🙏

[gusty nacelle]

Why did they release a 60he+ last year I swear this company is all about marketing and buzz words it’s working 😂

[thin meadow]

there was improvement with he+

with the screw in stab support

[floral gull]

screw in stab support...

[gusty nacelle]

They didn’t need to add the + part in there just make a new batch with the screw in stabs maybe could’ve added 8k polling in the 60he+ version

[thin meadow]

also would it cost the same as v1

[timber nimbus]

they couldn't - 8k didn't fit on the existing pcb even if they wanted

[timber nimbus]

calder said it would be small price bump but they want to avoid a big price raise, so folks are guessing something in $200 to low 200, but those are pure guesses

[thin meadow]

fair

[gusty nacelle]

Its gonna be $300

[thin meadow]

i am on the fence with either waiting for v2 or get venom

[timber nimbus]

that would not be a small price bump

[thin meadow]

but split space bar is very enticing

[floral gull]

I think it is going to be $235 at most.

[timber nimbus]

they'll showcase it more at computex so you'll get more video of it then if you need more info to decide

[spring stirrup]

With case and switches maybe, just the module will be ~200 most likely

[floral gull]

It will probably be priced closer to the 80HE now that it has 8k polling.

[thin meadow]

nah

two different products

[timber nimbus]

honestly i'm curious to see how split spacebar sales go. I feel it could be something that starts off less popular but grows over time because people will be careful about committing to split spacebar at first

[thin meadow]

even with the same features

[floral gull]

it will get closer in price to the 80HE tho 100%, the price of the 60HE v2 isn't going down.

[thin meadow]

yes base 80he most likely with case and switches for the v2

but most people have a case and switches so just a pcb swap at most for lots of people

[lyric coral]

What difference does it make? Also we need a way to easily identify them apart.

[lucid trout]

Well chinnese oems will have to make new pcba

[gusty nacelle]

Nah the case gonna cast 100 at most and the module prob around 150 plus keycaps and tax’s and tariffs

[timber nimbus]

realistically extra button on spacebar is very handy for some games. I know some wow gamers who would love that

[thin meadow]

productivity vise it soo nice to have split space
