Does the payment come out straight away or when the item actually is sent to customer?

[whole oak]

Straight away to avoid issues later.

[hoary trout]

i try order the split v2 but somehow instead of 267€ its 310€

[late bison]

shipping and duties?

[raw herald]

That's a tip for the team

[hoary trout]

i have module aluminum case wrist wrest and tikker

am i stupid rn

[late bison]

might be cause of the wrist wrest no?

[raw herald]

Show the bill?

[hoary trout]

267 no

Shipping is free

[grim glen]

sounds like the cart didnt refresh properly

try increasing the ammount of an item and decreasing it

[hoary trout]

i tried

[grim glen]

also be aware you still need keycaps

[hoary trout]

i got keycaps

[grim glen]

does it show the same price during checkout?

wonder if we broke the calc in our cart

looks like its adding up the non discounted prices

instead of discounted

[hoary trout]

we good chat

[timber nimbus]

Yeah the cart sometimes breaks with discounts but it reapplies it at end

[hoary trout]

f yeeee

how does the 60he v2 cost much less than the 80he even though it has more expensive switches and its just 20% less keys

[timber nimbus]

you mean the case?

the module prices are pretty similar with only a small difference

[stiff pumice]

also what the hell is a owlab case and why does it cost $400😭

[timber nimbus]

ramer i can't help but notice you've been on 'about to buy a wooting' for like 3 months now

[stiff pumice]

im buying one tomorrow

fr💀

but my friend kept telling me to buy a 80he and then he ruined everything

[lunar minnow]

limited production units from a premium chinese case manufacturer

[stiff pumice]

the 60he v2 released very inconveniently at the time i wanted to purchase the 80he so i just didnt do it, its actually wootings fault

[lunar minnow]

join 60he v2 split spacebar gang

[stiff pumice]

see now u are overwhelming me because i have to decide if i want split spacebar or not

[fervent umbra]

you dont

im the third party opinion you should listen to

[lunar minnow]

split is good

be the one that brings us to 22%

[stiff pumice]

i play games like terraria modded where i have to spam spacebar a lot so having split wouldnt hurt but it seems inconvenient for more casual games

[lunar minnow]

i mean it really just depends on where you rest/press space

my thumb never crossed v when gaming

[stiff pumice]

the reason why it takes me so long to decide between the keyboards is cause 50% of the fun from the games i play comes from the keyboard feeling and i dont want it to go away by buying the wrong option

so far the 60he v2 seems to be safer for this but 60% layout is more inconvenient for me than anything i have basically unlimited desk space

[lunar minnow]

i modded my wooting 60he+ so i cant speak much aboht stock wooting experience

and 60he v2 changed a bunch of stuff concerning sound

[stiff pumice]

i dont really care about sound cause i cant hear it through my headphones anyway

[lunar minnow]

switches contribute a lot to feeling

[spring stirrup]

Get 80HE then

[hardy wadi]

U can get 80 he with lekker tikken and miss nothing important from 60 he v2

[lunar minnow]

thats only during the founders/preorder campaign which happens every time wooting releases a new keyboard

type the depression away with tikkens

[topaz jolt]

Will there be an early access for v2 on the Wootility so we can start making profiles early?

[tropic relic]

You can transfer the profiles over, so technically you can already if you have a Woot board already.

[topaz jolt]

I do not

[tropic relic]

noob

[topaz jolt]

guh

[tropic relic]

I actually don’t know if you can make profiles if you have no board connected, maybe?

Did you try?

[topaz jolt]

There's the demo mode, trying to see if I can save stuff anywhere

[spring stirrup]

No, you can set it up later. No rush.

[tropic relic]

See if you can share the profile

I have no clue what happens when no board is connected tbh

[topaz jolt]

Doesn't seem like I can - ah well! Just really trying to do something other than browse keycaps and wait for April haha

Found the perfect keycaps but I need to check the sizes of the novelties and spacebars so I can use them for split spacebar... and then get a US friend to order them and ship them to me 😭

...wait i found a website that already has the v2 layout for custom keycaps...

Guess I know what I'm spending my time doing

[stuck sky]

can’t wait

[rare karma]

Keyboards are tools at the end of the day. Are you using the extra keys during your daily routine?
Don’t buy into the hype just because everyone else is complicit with the 60% layout.
If you don’t have anything els to compare to next to you. Whatever you’re getting is fine 😌.

I got the 80HE because I needed the extra keys for my daily work/ play. But I would like to have a smaller keyboard for traveling. So I jumped on the 60v2.

[stiff pumice]

Everyone said the lekker tikken are much better and I didn't wanna pay extra for the tikken in the 80he
But it's true i have nothing to compare it to except my basic gaming brand keyboard so it will feel perfect either way I just wanted the best experience possible considering I'm gonna use 1 wooting for at least the next 4 years

Atp im just wasting everyone's time by asking about a decision only I can make so it's time to flip a coin

[timber nimbus]

You could just get the 80he module and select tikkens in the selector. Then you don’t pay much more since it’s discounted

Only downside is you have to install the module, but that’s a fairly easy task and we have tutorial videos for that

[astral rock]

+1 installing yourself is really easy. Just need a nice little screwdriver.

[slender plank]

another coin beliver

[foggy rose]

you guys think getting the 60heV2 is worth it if you already own the 60he ?

[astral rock]

that's a pretty individual question

If money is no object, why not?

[oblique pendant]

is there something that you feel like missing on the 60he?

[foggy rose]

I mean besides the 8k polling rate it doesnt seem that much different compared to the old one

[oblique pendant]

If that's the case, you can keep the 60he. Maybe give it a new case, keycaps, and switches to make it feel new again

unless you really want the 8khz and the split space.

[foggy rose]

Yeah I really do need new keycaps tbh

mine are really worn out rn

[oblique pendant]

if you want some keycaps recc, feel free to visit #🔧│keyboard_modding for some idea.

[astral rock]

split spacebar is one compelling reason to change

I think that's a bigger reason to consider than anything polling rate related between 60HE, 60HE+, and 60HEV2.

[spring stirrup]

That's up to you if it's worth it.

Sound and feel will be much better on v2.

[autumn timber]

That has to be ragebait

[sage blade]

How much does the "Wooting 60 He V2" cost?

[slender plank]

tell them they wasted their money

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

should have gotten 2.3 million polling

[astral rock]

lol

[sage blade]

Which is better wooting 80he or 60?

[astral rock]

clearly, need to poll the keybaord at the CPU clock rate

[sage blade]

v2

[slender plank]

pref

just layout u like more mostly

[astral rock]

Do you want to have 4 arrow keys, an F1-F12 row, and page up page down, etc?

or not?

[burnt shale]

Tell them they fell for fake marketing talking points

[sage blade]

I don't care

[spring stirrup]

16k polling doesn't exist FYI

[burnt shale]

Nah it’s the best Fortnite settings dawg

[timber nimbus]

i don't think people can lie on the internet, so if they said it has 16k polling it must be true

[sage blade]

"And which is better: Wooting 80he or 60 V2?

[burnt shale]

Internals are the same, only thing that differs is if you want split space bar or if you want F row and other keys

[autumn timber]

Better in what sense? Performance-wise they are on par, I would just look at the layout differences to decide which fits you the best 🙂

[sage blade]

is mi

is mi

It doesn't matter

[distant mulch]

Well then toss a coin

Ok

Are the two keyboards equally good or is the other keyboard better?

A month away seems wild! My mind might explode! I did order the Tofu60 redux for a cleaner keeb look

[sage blade]

"Ah, ok, do they actually have a big "difference" from the technology, such as speed or something?"

[astral rock]

80HE and 60HEV2 are going to be effectively the same in terms of firmware/software/speed/polling rate/performance.

Maybe very subtle differences in MCU, but effectively identical.

The choice comes down to whether you want a split spacebar or not, or whether you hate or love having the extra keys on the 80% vs 60% form factor.

[rare karma]

Are you saying that I don’t get 20% better gaming performance with my 80he? I mean 80-60=20

[late bison]

imagine placing 80th in a contest vs 60th idk about you but id rather place 60th

80 is not it 🚫

[wraith mesa]

I use my keyboard on my home computer for 90% gaming so the 60% was a no brainer for me.

[slim mural]

Alright boys, I have a serious question

I ordered the Black Alu 60HE v2, should I order the Silver Alu 60HE v2 as well

[wraith mesa]

haha you could or just order an aftermarket case for it

[lunar minnow]

different

[slim mural]

I have Black Alu and Acrylic Tofu60s with 2x brass weights, and a Black Alu and Polycarbonate Holy60s

[lunar minnow]

v2 case is both wider and has more length in order to fit the friction fit pad

[gritty gull]

do we have to manually submit the order once its at warehouse?

[slim mural]

my black alu 60HE v2 is split, i aint ever going back to a regular spacebar 😭

both will be split

[gritty gull]

i wanted split but no uk alu

pretty sure you can order the parts separate

[gritty gull]

unless you get module and stuff

yeah

i wasnt bothered to have to do allat

[slim mural]

imo it's kinda daunting to build a mechanical board

but its super fun to build a hall effect board

[gritty gull]

ive never built a keyboard and i didnt wanna try first time on this ngl

[slim mural]

i built a mech board once w a friend

[gritty gull]

w

[tropic turret]

For the module and case, am i wrong or don’t you just plop it in since its friction fit?

[slim mural]

yeah some of the switches didnt work

[tropic turret]

There isnt much to be done

[raw herald]

You do you, but to Aerobrake's point, it just requires a screwdriver and maybe an hour of time. Pretty fun if you ask me, but I may have a particular brain damage.

[slim mural]

also the reason I swapped from mech to HE is because my Corsair K70 TKL I used had its switches soldered, but it was genuinely the most responsive input device before I switched to hall effect

unfortunately the up arrow metal contacts broke because I hit my keys like a gorilla when I play GD

no issues with my 60HE+ or 80HE

been recommending wooting to my friends ever since and they really love their stuff and the community

[thin snow]

I just buy the 60HE V2 in Bright Silver and I’m looking for some keycap recommendations that would go well with it. Any suggestions?

[astral rock]

did you do split bar or standard ?

[thin snow]

The split bar

[astral rock]

That's going to limit your options for a while. Wooting keycaps in white or in black are nice.

at least, limit your options on the space bar

[worldly imp]

Searching for keys on the split bar as well - also struggling w/ that space bar as far as options go

Can we get some info about dimensions so we can pursue 3d printing options?

[thin snow]

Yeah. I can keep the default keycaps for the split bar. But want something different for the rest of the keys

[astral rock]

what about optimum keycaps?

[astral rock]

2.75-1.25-2.25

[worldly imp]

this needs pinned

[astral rock]

they'll be doubleshot PBT with 1.5mm thick walls
they'll have an OEM profile
they'll use the MX cross stem style
and the horizontal sizes for the split bar are 2.75-1.25-2.25

[lunar minnow]

its in the faq for the 60he v2

[tropic turret]

Most premium keycap sets come with the smaller spacebars + shift keys of the same size

[lunar minnow]

or have keycap sets

[lunar minnow]

if you have a black keycap set you want, GMK Mictlan r2 spacebar kit has the right pieces

[tropic turret]

Usually its keycap sets that sell a base.
Ones that sell alphas and mods separately usually dont include them

only these do https://wooting.io/product/wooting-double-shot-pbt-backlit-keycap-set?Language=ANSI+United+States&Color=Just+Black

idk why discord embedded the wrong image

[karmic mural]

the meta tag for the embed is set to that image doesn't seem to change with a different selection

[wraith mesa]

A lot of keycap sets come with a blank shift and enter key. The hard part is finding a blank 1.25u

Also we all know now that wooting dropped the split spacebar for gaming there will be tons of knock offs and keycaps being made

[broken walrus]

I wanted to get a split one but it wasnt available with aluminum for some reason 🫤

[vast dagger]

ISO split isn't available in aluminum pre-assembled but it is available with the module

[buoyant rock]

I am sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but since the v2 is advertised as having a more powerful chip, is there any chance we will see more powerful macro support? I would be happy with some pretty basic productivity stuff, such as just pasting in my mail footer and other frequently used phrases.

[dusty sundial]

Not related to the chip. But we did a macro functionality survey 2 months ago because we're considering adding macro features to Wootility and want to make sure we build something that's useful for users.

[buoyant rock]

I was thinking it might be the chip holding macros back, but I can imagine there are many ways to implement this and every one wants something else.

[slim mural]

I'm guessing if there will ultimately be macro support, there will be a tournament mode for Wooting keyboards which disables the macro function, which can be toggled off at some point?

[rotund lotus]

That is something being considered

[peak pendant]

Hi,

I'm looking at my first Wooting keyboard and have a question about the 60HE v2: how loud is it in real life? Videos vary a lot. I've also heard the aluminium case can be louder than the plastic one.

The site mentions the 60HE+ is "silent" - does it use different switches?

I currently use a Cherry G80-3000N (silent reds), so I'm trying to gauge if the 60HE v2 would be too loud.

The rapid trigger and other features sound amazing - any clarification would be appreciated.

[sinful plover]

You can buy silent switches from other vendors that work with 60hev2

[neon forum]

But there is no other switches with close back that has 4 mm actuation

[void sluice]

Looking at the 60HE v2.

It says "2 meter USB-C to C nylon braided cable" is included.

What color is it though? 😅

[grim glen]

depends on the case color if preassembled

otherwise black

[void sluice]

I picked ANSI - Aluminiun (Black) - Pre-installed Double Shot Backlit PBT keycap.

So I assume it'll be black

[grim glen]

yes

the black yellow one i posted then. the silver preassembled gets the white yellow cable

[void sluice]

Oh okay.

I thought it would be this: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/1383/3071/files/stealth.jpg?v=1692709419

That's... more black 😄

I prefer that one over the black and yellow but it's not a big deal to be honest even if the black and yellow one arrives.

Wouldn't the black and yellow make more sense when paired with this in the configurator, though? https://wooting.io/product/wooting-take-control-5-sided-dye-sub-pbt-keycaps?Color=Take+Control&Language=ANSI+United+States

I didn't pick that one.

[grim glen]

the cables arent separate items

they come in the module box or the keyboard box if preassembled

there is no preassembled magnetic wave keyboards

id personally agree though a black/grey and white/grey cable would have been nicer

[void sluice]

Yeah I assumed the cable would be in the same box, probably would be a bit wasteful/more complicated to send it in a different box 😄

[grim glen]

yeah so sadly the pre-included cable cant be matched to colors nicely (except for 80he where this works a bit different due to using a daughterboard so module doesnt include a cable but the cases)

[void sluice]

Thanks for the help. 🙇‍♂️

I'll look into ordering one this weekend 😄

[spark wyvern]

Guys do yall plan on doing black friday deals on the wooting 80he or the 60he+??

[grim glen]

we have historically not done deals (during deal periods like black friday) as they pre-requisit either prices high enough so the margin works out with the deal OR us wanting to get rid of items we cant move (as they arent popular)

[void sluice]

This is the description I see when picking "ANSI" layout.

Same description as with "ANSI Split", except for the split one it starts with "Wooting 60HE v2 - ANSI Split"

That said, for the "ANSI" one it says "Split spacebar pre-installed.".

Description error or am I not looking into things correctly?

[spark wyvern]

So no?

They're clearly making a full sized keyboard

Objectively the best layout, so that's a requirement for it to be the "ultimative" Wooting keyboard

ooooh

full custom wooting with routed hall sensor to make a numpad/f row

[wraith mesa]

Full keyboard and best layout... that is funny

Full layout for gaming is crazy talk

[raw herald]

People with j*bs enjoy more keys

[astral rock]

A 60 with a standalone HE 10-key (with an abbreviated F1-F5 bar and a small analog knob) would be fantastic.

Or an 80 with a standalone 10+key

[wraith mesa]

That is what mechanical keys are for

[sudden rampart]

dumb question, and apologies if its been asked before already.
i own the wooting 60he, and am looking to upgrade to the 60heV2.

however was wondering if the 60he v2 module is compatible with the original 60he case?

[spring stirrup]

60HEv1 plastic case? not with the friction fit pad.

You'll need to replace it with the poron sandwich pad, it's included with the module.

[sudden rampart]

yeah the og 60HEv1 plastic case

thank you for the swift answer boss.
after some reading around i saw a nice image detailing everything lol

[spring stirrup]

Yeah, you can use plastic case, but without the friction fit pad it won't sound as nice.

[sudden rampart]

swag thanks pimp

[slim mural]

alright so, do I get the 60HE v2 ansi split silver ano even tho I got the black ano version

[astral rock]

Dunno, did you get split black?

[spring stirrup]

Optimum

[slim mural]

yes,

and i lowkey wanna get the other white/silver prebuilt

I mean, I can't judge, I got all white zinc 80HE and all black 60HEV2 split

Im trying to go Red Tofu60 Redux case and black keys with some accent white keys

[slim mural]

ok I got it both 60HE v2 ANSI Black and Silver anos

[candid solar]

during a campaign yeah

[scarlet bluff]

why does my order say back order

what does that mesn

[whole oak]

It means you have a pre-order. It won't ship until it's at the warehouse.

[scarlet bluff]

tank

[wild tangle]

Does 60HE/V2 case have more of an incline than the zinc alloy 80HE case? Seems to be. If so, what's the thought process behind that? I'm moving to a 60HE case and noticed all the cases have more of an incline than my alloy. Hopefully should be an ok transition.

and ya Ik it comes with angle pads, but I mean just in default position (lowest).

[whole oak]

Yes and no.

The 60HEv2 case is 6" angle. As is one of the three options for 80HE (It has swappable feet)

[wild tangle]

ah i see, yes. Just read product page and saw the angles. Now I need to find those feet.

😄

[hardy wadi]

bring back the 80he high heel feet

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-patrick-star-high-heels-walking-in-heels-stiletto-gif-638197950522996448

[raw herald]

For the masochists!

(but swappable feet are great)

[astral rock]

I use the mid height feet on the 80HE, so was pleased to know that the 60HEV2 was similar

[wild tangle]

switched to the 6 degree one just now. I was actually not using any feet earlier, lmao. I think I had a separate angler thing I bought from Amazon, but I removed that.

so the 60HEv2 will be 6 degrees, no swappable feet, right?

yeh, ok. interesting.

[cedar talon]

Is the cable that's coming with the keyboard 8k polling compatible?

[whole oak]

Yes of course.

We're not the kind of company that sells you an adaptor to unlock the performance the keyboard is capable of.

[grim glen]

its also basically impossible to have a 1khz cable but not 8khz

[wraith mesa]

[pearl rock]

Is there a way for me to increase the height of my 60he?

i make a lot more typing errors on my 60he than my hyperx alloy origins tkl

i just realized why and its because the hyperx keyboard is taller.

the taller base makes it a lot easier to type

[wraith mesa]

keyboard mat

or different case

[pearl rock]

got it

chatgpt says it has to do with the "tilt"

as well the switches

[lunar minnow]

chatgpt 🥀

[pearl rock]

🙂

[lunar minnow]

you can buy those plastic keyboard feet on amazon if you want to raise the angle even more on your 60he

[pearl rock]

basically i gotta raise the typing angle and get taller keycaps

@lunar minnow yep

i'll do just that

all this time i thought it was a skill issue

turns out it was the keyboard 😳

anyone here have the 80he and the 60he? Is it the same when it comes to height?

ok this is gonna sound odd

but can I lube the switches of the hyperx keyboard to make them quieter

mfka sounds like a typewriter

"clack" "clack" "clack"

[lunar minnow]

the 80he has adjustable feet you can replace

[pearl rock]

got it

[lunar minnow]

depends if that keyboard is hot-swappable (meaning you can replace switches without soldering)

[pearl rock]

nah its not

i could put foam in it

[lunar minnow]

techically you can still lube it but it wont be as good

[pearl rock]

oof

[lunar minnow]

you can use thin lube like 105g0 in a syringe and push some in when you press down on the stem

[pearl rock]

got it

For some reason i really like the actuation on the hyperx keyboard however i do type 10wpm faster on the wooting

i might have a heavier hand. The wooting requires more finesse.

Them hall switches sensitive af

anyways

[pearl rock]

Thank you for the help. I appreicate it.

yeah nvm all that this keyboard feels this im typing on sand. The wooting feels so much smoother.

i gotta make my own keyboard 🥀

[stiff pumice]

will it be possible to put the pc plate into the 60he v2?

[grim glen]

i think the plate stems dont match the holes in the pcb if i remember right

[slim mural]

I have the 60HE+, 80HE, and the UwU in black rgb and wbite rgb

[slim mural]

have you tried any of the KBDFans 60% plates like the carbon fiber, FR4, polycarbonate, and polypropylene plates for the 60HE v2? are they compatible?

[shut umbra]

does the keyboard come with the cavle for 8khz polling

[spring stirrup]

Yes

[shut umbra]

Thank u

[junior sinew]

[grim glen]

maybe @timber nimbus knows

[slim mural]

is there a reason the plate stems had to be moved?

[grim glen]

like i said "i think" as im not 100% sure

[minor jungle]

how long do you guys think itd take for someone who only used a membrane keyboard before to get used to the inputs on the hall effect board

[timber nimbus]

they should be compatible if you mean just the normal non split plates. Won't work with split of course though @slim mural

i tested even putting the owlab case plate into our own friction fit pad and it fits too. They're normally just standard gh60 cut plates

[slim mural]

Ah ok, just checking, thanks

Also I wanted to ask this and just remembered, but is this secondary chrome-like buckle still coming with each case, or is it only coming with the 1 color matched buckle?

[grim glen]

you get the cover, matched loop and chrome loop

[steel creek]

Can someone please tell me, is Geon's Frog Mini Leggera compatible with the Wooting 60he V2 PCB?

[timber nimbus]

for tray mount yes (you'd want to buy the module to get the tray mount layering extra add part)

for friction fit we can't guarantee dimensions match exactly

[wild tangle]

the default angle of the 80HE is 0 degrees right (without any feet)? I feel like that's the most comfortable for me. Should I look for a 60HEv2 case with that kind of angle too?

[timber nimbus]

2.8 degrees without changing the feet

[wild tangle]

what if you use no feet? drops to 1 degree or lower?

damn, now I gotta find a 60HE case that has something like that.

1-3 degrees

[timber nimbus]

you don't use any feet?

i mean the stock feet that come with it default, the totally flat ones

even without feet you're not dropping to that low

there's no 60he compatible cases that are that angle to my knowledge. There was a couple cheapie not very nice ones on aliexpress that were 0 degree, and most others are in that 5-12 degree range

60hev2 stock is 4 degrees already, which is quite low

[wild tangle]

yeah I'm surprised. Doing some more research on it and apparently flat is better ergonomically so not having that low angle option is curious. Why even need the positive tilt at all? Even negative tilt is something some people use, lol. Should have options.

guess people don't care too much, but it can make a diff in long typing sessions.

[timber nimbus]

because it wasn't doable basically

it needed some room for internals

gasket mounting iirc was what took up the extra room and it made doing 0 degrees really hard

[wild tangle]

but isn't 80he also gasket mounted? zinc alloy case

[timber nimbus]

i'm talking about the 80he

[wild tangle]

oh ok, so then why can't 60hev2 do it

[timber nimbus]

60he is 4 degrees because that's a popular low angle already

4 degrees is already considered by most to be extremely low angle

[wild tangle]

but why have an angle at all? Is there like a fear of not having some magical angle?

[timber nimbus]

because there's 2 school of thoughts for typing angle comfort

one is the zero/flat

one is the higher angle + no wristrest to reach keys

[wild tangle]

start at 0 and give the feet though. 80HE did it correctly imo, I think 60HEv2 regressed.

[timber nimbus]

a lot of people prefer some angle vs. zero angle

satisfying an extremely small niche of people who want 0 degree angle just wasn't the play vs. the much bigger amount of people who want some amount of angle

plus zero angle takes away room inside the case, meaning front height rises

front height rising = you need a wrist rest now, which not everyone likes

[wild tangle]

oh i see. Thought most people used wrist rests, maybe it's a small %

ya 80HE needs a rest

[timber nimbus]

overwhelming large amount of people do not use wrist rests

and that's why they want low front height + angle

[wild tangle]

fascinating. Yeah, guess I've been in the scene for a while trying diff things that I just found what worked best.

but even steelseries pro apex now provides a wrist rest

[timber nimbus]

most people also tend to go to 5-7 degrees even if you give them a wrist rest

it's just not common for people to prefer 0 degree + wrist rest

people use what they like even if it's not the most optimal ergonomically

It has the "outer switch" design.

https://www.amazon.com/Anodizing-Aluminum-Mechanical-Keyboard-Compatible/dp/B06XKY52RQ?th=1#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor - another one with the switches on outside. Should work? lol

[ionic quartz]

just pre ordered my 60he v2 when will it process on the website for the role? thanks

[wraith mesa]

Did you link your discord on your wooting dashboard?

[vast dagger]

You probably need to refresh your rewards on the hub

[ionic quartz]

yeah it was but the website said it takes a little longer to process orders since 60he 2 launch, but i got it now 😎

[timber nimbus]

btw i was double checking some things, it's 6 degrees for the v2 case, not 4 degrees. 4 degrees is optimum case @wild tangle

[wild tangle]

ya i noticed that at website, thx. What do you think of those 2 linked cases? Would they work with v2 module?

those seemingly have 0 degrees

[timber nimbus]

they probably would assuming you swap out for the tray mount foam

[grim glen]

also might need to screw it in for grounding (on the alu case as wood doesnt conduct)

[timber nimbus]

we can't guarantee it'll fit of course though, but you can try. It's possible you can't friction fit and will have to tray mount

[wild tangle]

ic ok thanks. And you mentioned the tray mount is included right? Screwing it should be simple, any instructions? 😄 guess i'll YT it.

[timber nimbus]

yeah it's included with module if you buy module

[spring stirrup]

You’ll need to unscrew the 8 screws on the back of the PCB, remove the plate, and swap the silicone friction fit pad with the poron sandwich pad. Then reassemble everything and screw it into the case.

[wild tangle]

nice ty.

[celest mica]

Question about the v2, i saw a video about friction fit and it needed something to be grounded ?
How does this work for v2 ? It will need screws or that metal sponge will be included with the case ?
If it's a dumb question i'm sorry, i don't really know how this works and it is the first time for me when i'm gonna build it myself, some guide/tips would be helpful 😁

[whole oak]

Screws or a sponge you bring yourself for aftermarket cases.

[celest mica]

It will be the case from you, not aftermarket. How does this work ? Will there be a guide of how to assemble it at least? I'm a bit lost of how it works.

[short hare]

you mean this :D https://youtu.be/NvMwijZU-L0?si=zLqA2Qd6gkfE6S3b&t=283

[whole oak]

On our case there are standoffs that help ground the module when friction fit, as well as a sponge preinstalled.

As for how to assemble a 60HEv2 it's quite simple. Assuming you have the module, you first push in all of the switches, then push it into the case, and then put on the keycaps.

And pesto!

[celest mica]

Nice, so i don't have to get anything else. I just saw that video from above about the first 60he and it came to my mind of how this works on the v2.
Thanks for the answer.

[neat kestrel]

are the switches prelubed?

[vast dagger]

They sure are it's pretty rare for a switch not to be lubed these days unless it specifically states that it's not lubed

[neat kestrel]

states?

[vast dagger]

For example

[neat kestrel]

you mean the usa?

[neat kestrel]

o sorry the discord formatting made me read it wrong

[ripe pond]

are there any sound tests of the v2 stabs?

[timber nimbus]

they're same as 80he and such. Sound tests for stabs aren't all that useful because it just comes down to how you lube them.

i have posted sound tests of the best aftermarket stabs and kept 1 stab stock but relubed and no one could pick out which one was stock stabs

[ripe pond]

stock stabs

[timber nimbus]

stock stabs vary as well

because lube can shift during shipping

sometimes they'll be perfect. sometimes they'll need a touch up of lube

there's no 'this is what stock stabs will sound like for sure' example

[ripe pond]

so no need to buy another 800ml of xht bdz

[timber nimbus]

800ml?

i hope you mean 8

i'd only worry about stabs after you get them and see the situation

don't waste your money ahead of time when you might be perfectly happy with the stock stab lube

for reference, i have 1 very tiny tub of xht-bdz that has lasted me for years upon years. You definitely never need to buy a large amount of that unless you build keyboards every single day

(especially since a lot of aftermarket stabs don't use thick lubes anymore)

[ripe pond]

ive spent over $300 on stabs across 3 different keyboards 😭

ive tried getting services and they dont even tune them well and it rattles after like 5 mins of use

[whole oak]

[ripe pond]

im the most unlucky person ever

when it comes to stabs

ive done holee mod, plumbers tape mod, wire balancing, etc

i dont mistreat my stabs either

i try to press my space bar as light as possible

[sinful plover]

ive never had that many issues with stabs

also most of those mods are not needed or relevant with modern stabs

[grim glen]

maybe its just in their head

like those video games where the story is just in the protagonists head

[ripe pond]

its not

ill send a sound test

[sinful plover]

are you certain your spacebar isnt warped

[ripe pond]

ive tried 7 different keycaps

gmk, pbtfans, epbt, gmk clones, pbtfans clones

etc

im jsut genuinely unlucky

[grim glen]

idk what to tell you man but given what you said you tried and trying so many keycaps it does sound unlikely they are actually ratteling

[sinful plover]

worst case you can always buy knight v4 or typeplus stabs and put them in and itll be fine

[rare karma]

Sounds more like you’re a perfectionist. Also you should share your story and journey in a YouTube video ( or across all the social media platforms).

Just like there’re golden ears 👂. In HiFi world. I believe there’s someone that’s sensitive to keyboard sounds.

Looking forward to follow your journey to the perfect stab sound and feel

[ripe pond]

thanks for the advice, i was actually planning on posting my enthusiast knowledge of all my niche hobbies like pc building, video encoding and how video works in the first place, keebs, software engineering and sub communities w/ different languages, apis, and frameworks, the linux space in general, and more niches

[rare karma]

Just do it 😌

[ripe pond]

im probably in 20 more niches i cant even remember rn

but im down to start with keyboards ig

i do freelance editing commissions so my editing is extremely good in terms of the keyboard niche

thats my main skill and i forgot it 😭

ill definitely do it though, within 2026 for sure

[rare karma]

So you’re basically saying- you should’ve started your own channel ages ago.

Don’t worry, it’s never too late

[void mauve]

Just out of curiosity would y’all be making an optimum 60hev2 compatible case with the split spacebar or case like the optimum keyboard?

Or something with that type of sleek design?

[slender plank]

its compatible no?

[void mauve]

Yeah, I just didn’t know with the split spacebar? Idk

[sinful plover]

Case is fully compatible with split space

Keycaps are not

Any case that works with 60he will work with v2, split or non split

[void mauve]

Sorry I meant the keycaps*

Or if there will be a v2 version of it in the future?

[sinful plover]

(With some caveats, certain cases require different plate that would need to be custom made)

No split version of optimum caps planned atm

You can buy other blanks etc elsewhere, those may have the split spacebars included

You could also buy 2 sets of the optimum caps and salvage some of the correct size keys

Itll look a little weird but it would work

[void mauve]

Ok

[timber nimbus]

Pbtfans lyla for example is full black kit with split keys

If you wanted a 3rd party set that fits

[void mauve]

Ok, thanks

Oh 1.25u in a spacebar kit is real nice

A lot of kits don’t do that

any pbtfans beige set

[timber nimbus]

Ah it’s pbtfans

I’m still sad pbtfans virtuoso white kit is sold out and I don’t know if the virtuoso coloring is slightly different white or not

depends what theme your setup is and when you want it

some configs are already mid-jan

I would send a photo but my desk is a mess lol. it's mainly black the only white thing I have on my desk is my ps5

so black probably

how long does it normally take for refunds to go through?

depends how fast your bank processes things

i would assume 1-5 days is fairly normal

[void mauve]

also when I go to order my new custom version, which switches sound the best? Or are most popular?

IKR!!

[oak sphinx]

is the wooting 60he v2 the best keyboard currently ?

[vast dagger]

Currently it has not been released

[fickle portal]

No matter how goated the keyboards are/will be I don't think this is the place you will find people challenging that theory 😆

[neat kestrel]

best keyboard is performance dependent within the games ir setting

[wraith mesa]

I think if the game and rig you have can handle 8k with zero issues it comes down to the form factor that makes you play your best. Other than that you are talking about fractions of a ms difference

It also comes down to software and wootility is leaps and bounds above the competition imho

[vast dagger]

8k on a keyboard isn't an issue doesn't affect performance like a mouse would

[stiff pumice]

why cant other companys just copy their software

its public technology so they should be able to recreate it

[vast dagger]

The code is not open source so they'd have to figure out how the backend works

[stiff pumice]

well yeah but its not some magic they should be able to do the same thing if they tried

[vast dagger]

Trying involves money and effort it's much easier to half ass and say you've done it

Not like reviews most of the time go further than reading off the spec sheet

[neat kestrel]

8K mouse polling rate is different than 8K polling rate on a keyboard, and how the CPU processes it. (Persecond changes of mouse position vs Per-Key-actuation changes)

[neat kestrel]

thiss

[haughty tartan]

And there’s this new thing of esport gamers going back to 1000hz. The 8k was and still is a placebo gimmick tbh. Ehe

[autumn timber]

For mouse, some pros switched back to 1khz for battery mostly

(I did too, tired of having to park the mouse for charging every day and half)

[haughty tartan]

Ahh but basically it’s not a huge change or competitive players would continue to have low battery life vs performance

Even fresh reviews went back to 1k

[wraith mesa]

Fresh review is a reviewer. You had a better argument with your pro comment

I use 2k hz on mouse and im comfortable with the battery life to performance tradeoff

[astral rock]

Could just play 8 kHz on a powerplay base.

infinite charge, wireless 8 kHz

(unless there's a cpu hit and a latency issue on your platform)

United Splitbar Front!

[short hare]

anye set that includes these for your split. The split spacebar is from left to right a 2.75u, 1.25u, and a 2.25u key. These are common keys on an ANSI layout. It's the same as Left Shift, Ctrl, and Right Shift key

You’re definitely not alone being impatient 🤣

[maiden steppe]

😭 I want it so bad

[void mauve]

yeah, I originally order the plastic case version of the 60hev2... I realized my mistake because 1, it wouldn't be at my house till april, 2 aluminum is way better, 3 I also bought a travel case with the plastic board which made it extremely close to the cost of the the aluminum board anyways so it makes the most sense to just get the aluminum board. Since when am I gonna travel with my keyboard and even if I was what's stopping me from ordering one in the future? So I canceled my order and am waiting for the funds to return to my account so I can order the correct one and or ill just get it tomorrow when I get payed lol.

Is the switches that are coming with the 60hev2 pre installed or are they just extra switches if I wanted to change them out for the heavy duty ones?

[slim mural]

they are preinstalled

the heavy tikkens from the HEist v2 event are not pre installed afaik

those would come in the package

[maiden steppe]

If I were to order something else on the website will they be able to bundle it with my 60he V2 as in ship with it

[slim mural]

if you upgrade your order you should be able to pay the difference through wooting hub if it's not too late (should still be fine)

[whole oak]

We do not split ship orders. It ships together in one box once everything is ready.

[craggy sky]

Hey guys -

Does anyone know how the founders edition switches work?

I really want a split space ISO layout - so I’m going to have to order the module.

Do I need to order switches on top, or do the “Heist Tikken” switches that you get for preordering automatically come & therefore you can save the ££ and effectively place your order “without switches”?

[short hare]

the heist tikken switches are like an add on bonus and are only 20 so not enough to fill the board. I do recommend picking up some 'normal' Lekker Tikken switches (:

[whole oak]

The Heist switches are also just recoloured Tikken, with a heavier, 100g spring inside. You can make your own with our spring back and tools.

[craggy sky]

got it - thanks both

[crude agate]

sooo if I ordered the v2 before the black friday i cant get the free stuff??

or this is only for the v1?

[rotund lotus]

im with you on this

[maiden steppe]

Awesome so if I order some accessories everything comes together 😍

[whole oak]

[rotund lotus]

If you place a separate order for accessories, that is a separate order which would ship separately

[whole oak]

Ah right. I may have misunderstood the initial phrasing. Yes - If you place a separate order, the two would ship separately. However if both orders are held, we might be able to merge them depending on some circumstances such as maximum package weight.

[stiff pumice]

i really hope the v2 isnt as loud and stiff as my current board, my family is getting annoyed by the sound even though we have crazy thick walls

[sinful plover]

you can always get silent switches if you are ok with giving up some performance

[stiff pumice]

even gently touching the keys and typing already produces crazy sound i never used my keyboard without a headset on

idk if its the switches or the keyboard just not dampening anything

[sinful plover]

whats your current board

I already cancelled the other keyboard, which is why I couldn't purchase the aluminum version because I was waiting for the funds to return back to my account so I could order the right keyboard.

[bleak trellis]

The reason I like the split is my thumb only hits a 3rd of the space bar anyway so that’s why I ordered the split instead of the regular one getting these caps just not going to use the space bar I ordered the white version

[frigid kestrel]

waow, very girly

[void mauve]

do the lekker switches come with the keyboard already install and the heavier switches are just added onto that? or do all the preordered keyboards already come with the heavier switchess preinstalled?

[bleak trellis]

I know it’s so cute!

[astral rock]

[frigid kestrel]

Share when you have that assembled, i'm sure people will appreciate the look.

[void mauve]

nevermind🤦

[bleak trellis]

I will I haven’t ordered the keys yet waiting till I have some spare money in December. Love the seller tho since my razor viper mini se doesn’t have spare ptfe skates I found the seller that sells the genuine razer ones and the glass version since razer themselves doesn’t sell spare when they wear out

[frigid kestrel]

I didn't see sorry, generally speaking if you buy the pre-assembled keyboards the switches will be always installed already. If you get a module, you have to install them yourself.

[void mauve]

I got the prebuilt I was just trying figure which switches are already preinstalled

the tikken lekker or the heist switches

[astral rock]

60HEV2 = Tikken

Heist come separate in a package.

[frigid kestrel]

😄 yeah ali is very useful to find official replacements but cheaper, i always went to them for my Steelseries accessory needs.
Also don't worry, i mean't whenever you have it assembled, i know that the board itself will take a while for people to get anyway

[frigid kestrel]

The Tikkens, your Heist ones are an extra bonus that would come separately, especially since it's only a pack of 20

It would make no sense to mix/match install that on the side of Wooting

[void mauve]

ok thanks

There’s one ☝️. It’s just Wooting didn’t force it on everyone. Making the v2 cheaper to buy-in 😉

[neat kestrel]

even yet DURING it

[rare karma]

You can select one as an option,
I bought one ☝️

[neat kestrel]

what wheeere

it's noy free though 😭

[rotund lotus]

https://wooting.io/product/wooting-60he-v2-travel-case

[rare karma]

Nothing is free in this world 😆

[rotund lotus]

The reason that 80HE zinc prebuilts come with a travel case is because we were concerned that such a heavy product would get banged up during shipping

[neat kestrel]

technically totally free stuff in this world

[rotund lotus]

Since then though, our packaging magician has improved our product packaging such that we are no longer concerned about this

[rare karma]

Ignorance is a bliss 😌

[rotund lotus]

The cost of the travel case is certainly included in the 80HE zinc price

[neat kestrel]

truth is sweeter

[lunar minnow]

shoulda given 63 heist switchys

[rare karma]

Then add the travel case today 😉

[lunar minnow]

the 60% v2 travel case is already delayed till jan i think

[neat kestrel]

no 🙂‍↔️

Already bought

I'll just wrap it in aluminum foil for travel case

[rare karma]

Whatever fashion you fancy is fine with me 🤗

[astral rock]

I liked the 80HE travel case so much that I deliberately bought a 60HE(v2) Travel Case extra.

so if I did that, will my 60HEv2 it ship in that, or just ship in standard packaging and have travel case empty in the box also?

[timber nimbus]

travel case is separate package

[astral rock]

cool

I figured that would likely be the case.

... terrible pun not intended

[craggy sky]

If you order as a module + aluminium case, do you still get the silicon & epdm foam as options?

To do a UK split space, I think I can only order this way!

I guess what I’m really trying to work out is…is there any downside of ordering module & then addingeverything on top vs ordering prebuilt?

[frigid kestrel]

Nothing, you just have to do the easy assembly yourself

A screwdriver and careful examination is the only requirement

[astral rock]

JUnited Splitbar Front! 🙂

There's no downside except maybe a tiny price difference? It's really easy to put together.

for 60HEv2 I think is tool-less

[frigid kestrel]

Even better

[timber nimbus]

i don't think you even need a screwdriver now as shadow mentioned lol

[timber nimbus]

yes both options are included if you buy a case

[rotund lotus]

Ordering the module+case+switches+keycaps will be slightly more expensive than buying the exact same setup as a prebuilt, but other than that no downside

The added cost is because of the additional packaging and the extra pick+pack costs at the fulfillment center

[gritty gull]

Do we have to submit the order or will that be done automatically?

[whole oak]

Should happen automatically unless something needs your attention (in which case we'll reach out)

[gritty gull]

Cool, thank you

[void mauve]

does the standard wooting 60he come with foam pre installed?

60hev2*

[lunar minnow]

it coems with silicone preinstalled but you can swap it out when you get it

[void mauve]

I mean ill see how I like the sound when It arrives but I was just curious, thanks!

[turbid badge]

Is it more worth buying the wooting 60he v2 than the wooting 80he right now?

[void mauve]

thats up to you

[turbid badge]

I want to try the new lekker tikken switches but they dont sell them on the 80he

[void mauve]

then get the 60hev2

[lunar minnow]

you can just get the module and build it yourself

[lunar minnow]

depends on how many buttons/keys you want

or if you want to try split spacebar

[turbid badge]

Im used to a 75% layout but never tried a 60% one

[lunar minnow]

wooting gives you 30 days to return it if you dont like it

[turbid badge]

Oh.

Why can't i see an ISO split option for the alum case

[void mauve]

I don't currently own a 60% yet... however my brother has the 60he+ and I loved that keyboard which is why I decidedd to get the new and improved version of it. I'm really excited to try the split spacebar.

[void mauve]

its there

[turbid badge]

I don't see the option

[void mauve]

@turbid badge

[turbid badge]

im talking about the ISO layout lol

[void mauve]

oh... whoops😅

[turbid badge]

Dw

Should i just buy the module and assemble it myself?

[void mauve]

depends on if you want to customize it

like if you want a different case or color

[turbid badge]

I won't customize the board

Im gonna assemble the module with the wooting case and stuff, because there isnt an ISO split option for the alum case

Lol

[void mauve]

lol

[vast dagger]

yeah there is not

[turbid badge]

😭😭

So there isn't a dust cover included?

[lunar minnow]

its easy to build

[vast dagger]

you'll have to choose it with the module if you want split and iso

[turbid badge]

I wan't to try the split, OG looks a bit too v1 like

[maiden steppe]

I'm an OG gamer I rock OG space bar 🍻

[slim mural]

leaky peaky

[slim mural]

holy smokes im 6' on the dot

[wraith mesa]

Im an old school gamer and I think the split spacebar is genius! The spacebar being so large never made sense to me for gaming. Its such wasted space.

[frigid kestrel]

Same here, but i see it as a potential upgrade and improvement, rather than fearing change. It's just a matter of people slowly trying it out and seeing how it feels. Just the conservative mentality we all have about some things in life.

[stiff pumice]

i ordered normal but i am a bit curious about split because i would have a more isolated button that would be great for geometry dash, and a easier to click spacebar is cool for stuff like celeste or platformer games in general

[frigid kestrel]

Essentially it's two extra keys that can map to anything and no different sounding and wobbly large spacebar.

[raw herald]

Oh it'll sound different. Spacebars usually sound rough cause of their big ol' cavity.

Not that that's all that important, but I'm curious to hear how it is when I type for sure.

[wraith mesa]

I think games in general are adding more and more keybinds so the ability to have your thumb do more is great.

I even tried using a non conventional setup before with YGHJ instead of WASD

[frigid kestrel]

Yep, for an MMO i would definitely take the extras for example, especially on a 60%.
Especially because i rely on my keyboard instead of the obnoxious mice.

[raw herald]

I'm looking forward to trying it for gaming, but

I find the 60% form factor to be beautiful, but borderline unusable for anything but gaming. As a programmer I need to use the Fn key all the time, and I'm hoping having easier access to it in non-gaming situations will make the 60v2 more mainable for me

[wraith mesa]

The hardest thing for me so far is finding sweet keycaps for the split spacebar layout lol. I hope Wooting starts a trend and more caps arrive soon

[stiff pumice]

only concern is that my thumb is gonna rest uncomfortably on split

so i went og

[raw herald]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to use an extra shift for a spacebar, both cause it would look out of place w/ whatever legend it has, and cause it'd be concave

[raw herald]

Sure that's totally reasonable

We're all pretty much hoping that it works for us, definitely a gamba there

[stiff pumice]

i tried to measure where the split is between the keys to see if my thumb is gonna have issues but im unsure so whatever

hard to say without testing yourself as always

[frigid kestrel]

I find it completely pointless personally, missing things that i'm quite used to. This is why 80HE was the perfect product, i don't think i'll ever bother with 60%.
The space i saved already doesn't have to be any higher, but i need every key that i already have present.
If anything, i hope a 80HE Split module will eventually be reality.

[stiff pumice]

honestly i have been thinking about refunding my 60he v2 order and going for the 80he plastic+tikken its basically the same price

but plastic is gonna be too light for me

[frigid kestrel]

I know what you mean

[stiff pumice]

there is a pro player for geo dash who uses the 80he plastic and its sounds so good i could fall asleep to that

but the 60he v2 is peak too

gonna be my first time having a thocky keyboard

[tropic turret]

UFO + 80HE is the most thocky possible in HE

[stiff pumice]

well it does sound more like marbles than thock but its fine, you can dream

i think it still sounds good

[wraith mesa]

I think mag switches have come a very long way and the benefits of the HE out weighs the sound profile of a mech switch imho, but to each their own

[astral rock]

I'm all about performance.
HE brings so much more to the table than a latch/unlatch mechanical
As long as the sound isn't horrific or annoying, I don't particulary care about the sound. I do care about the "feel" though.

[stiff pumice]

i heard the v1 sound and feel horrible or have stem wobble

[astral rock]

So I'll admit that I like the FR4 plate better than the PC plate in the 80HE and am happy that the 60HEV2 is FR4 plate.

[stiff pumice]

my friend has a 60he and never complained

[stiff pumice]

did you try both?

or well the pc plate

[astral rock]

The 80HE comes with a PC plate and I bought a FR4 plate after 2 weeks of ownership and use. I prefer the FR4 plate feel.

[stiff pumice]

i always hoped i dont miss out on anything by never experiencing the pc plate

[astral rock]

which is why I'm pleased with 60HEV2 being FR4

[stiff pumice]

i actually dont know what my gaming brand board has

i should check

[slim mural]

bigmac has one

[tropic turret]

Split is below 20%

[timber nimbus]

I’d not be surprised by a surge in split later if reviewers showcase game usage

A lot of people just don’t get it yet, but they will once their favourite YouTuber explains it

[slim mural]

apparently the 60HE v2's FR4 is different than most other FR4 plates according to what calder said at ZFX

[astral rock]

In what way? Shape? Cuts?

FR4, as a material, is
standardized

[timber nimbus]

Just the way it was made iirc

[minor jungle]

keyboard tilt can help you access the split spacebar easier

well thats just my opinion

[lunar minnow]

60he v2 founders role is not separated from people with ihaswooting role (like how 80he founders role)

https://tenor.com/view/sospechoso-suspizcaz-chicken-judging-you-gif-17495234

[astral rock]

Yup

[maiden steppe]

What does that mean

[lunar minnow]

look at the right side member list

[maiden steppe]

Wow

[wraith mesa]

Tilt will definitely help get the thumb to lay naturallt where you want it on the spacebar.

[wild tangle]

https://www.printables.com/model/76645-low-profile-60-keyboard-case - Do you guys think this 3d printed case would work on V2? lol

[void mauve]

If I were to move before my keyboard arrives I’m able to change the delivery address right?

[distant mulch]

That question can depend on if the move changes the taxes you've paid. Moving in the US from state to state makes the address change impossible for example, you'd have to cancel and reorder then

[void mauve]

I’m not moving to another state

[whole oak]

In the US even a different city is a no go.

[void mauve]

I’m just moving to another in my state

What if I changed it before it shipped?

[whole oak]

You wouldn't be able to.

[void mauve]

Even if we were to put offer on a house we wouldn’t move in for another 45days or so? My keyboard is supposed to arrive till January 9-13ish?

[whole oak]

It doesn't matter if it's a week or two months later. The taxes are set on checkout - And for the US those can be city wide in many cases.

What we might be able to do if you place an order and need to change it is - hold the order and contact us. Then we might be able to cancel that order and reserve the items you had for a new order with new address.

[void mauve]

My parents don’t even think we’ll sell our house that quickly so I guess it probably wouldn’t matter anyways?

[maiden steppe]

January what did you order 😅

[void mauve]

The aluminum case?

[gleaming bronze]

Wait what, mine is set to arrive early december

oh wait ur in the us, right?

[lunar minnow]

if he ordered later or chose some specific options it could have a later delivery date

[void mauve]

I could have ordered the aluminum prebuilt case and had it arrive before Christmas, but I foolishly went with the plastic version instead. At the time, the plastic one wasn’t supposed to ship until early April. A few days later I realized my mistake, canceled the plastic order, and waited about four days to get my money back so I could reorder the aluminum case. By then, the shipping date had already slipped to January.

[gleaming bronze]

I mean, i ordered today so its probably because hes in the us

[void mauve]

Yeah, I’m east coast USA

[void mauve]

Wait you ordered today and it’s still gonna arrive before Christmas????

[gleaming bronze]

yuh

[lunar minnow]

non split black prebuilt v2 is still early dec

[void mauve]

Bruh

[lunar minnow]

US

[void mauve]

I wanted the split spacebar tho

[lunar minnow]

yeah then its gonna be later

you couldve done module and case and get it in decemeber

[void mauve]

That’s unfortunate maybe it be here sooner? But I know that’s probably doubtful

[void mauve]

I know and I thought about it. But I ultimately decided on just getting the prebuilt. Even though it probably wouldn’t be that hard to build

Idk

[lunar minnow]

also just $10 more to build it yourself with the same parts but you get it quicker (now) than prebuilt

it just up to you

[void mauve]

Yeah at this point even if I wanted to cancel my order again chances are it would’ve arrived literally the same time as my current order so it’s too late now?

[lunar minnow]

if youre waiting for the refund to come in before you order again its probably not gonna be worth it

[gleaming bronze]

Yep, you would probably have to refund and instantly order again

[quartz galleon]

I have a question about the module. You can only buy the module with split spacebar ISO layout, if I order switches keycaps and case, do I have everything to build the keyboard and I just need a screwdriver? And do I still get the founders perks? I dont know much about keyboards and modding/building them.

[timber nimbus]

correct, long as you add in those switches + keycaps + case you're good. You don't even need a screwdriver to install the module if you're not changing anything

friction fit makes it insanely easy, literally unwrap the module, drop in the foam or silicone bottom into the case, push in module, then you're basically done and it's just lego to push in switches and keycaps

[quartz galleon]

Ok thanks for the response
