It's an experience for sure. I am kind of glad Astrologian has been simplified a lot.

Can't really touch WoW as much after what they did to my MoP warlock and rogue :/

[whole oak]

Played through TBC and Wrath as a healer druid for raids.

Then didn't come back seriously till...Legion I think and then stopped again in the expansion after. The one with Kul Tiras

[worldly imp]

Same. That's when I stopped too.

Funny how that one killed it for so many veterans

[timber nimbus]

btw i was just double checking and there is a hole for you to ground through the friction fit pad

You want to use this hole

@worldly imp use this hole

[worldly imp]

I read this out loud while in comms with a group for FFXIV. Dude.

Thank you though! I will try it out either later tonight or tomorrow when I'm not using the keyboard :p

[cedar talon]

Is there a difference between the Lekker switches that come stock with the v2 and the switches from the founders' campaign?

[whole oak]

Yes. The founder ones are limited, 100g ones.

You can make more yourself using our spring packs and tools.

Or a different weight entirely.

[cedar talon]

I'm not that deep into that topic. I might switch a few around to get a feel 😅

[wary bluff]

Are you all hand lubing the v2? I always do but these are very nice out of the box. Going to take apart again to fix a little noise on one of the space bar stabs and wondering if I lube the switches at the same time or just run them as they are. Anyone done so and feel it was noticeablely better?

[quasi mica]

My coworker must have this issue too - he did order both the pre built full board and the blue alumaze case
I was out sick yesterday when they were delivered, but he sent me a pic of it in the Alumaze. It’s his first build so I doubt he realizes there’s an issue at all, but I’ll check when I get in.
Since mine’s friction mounted in the optimum case, i can just give him the sandwich mount pieces that came with my module if he’d rather screw it in, yeah?

[spring stirrup]

Just tell them to install the screw on the top right, no need to swap the sandwich pad.

[quasi mica]

Maybe I’m not understanding the issue at all then (I don’t have an Alumaze) but I’ll make sure he’s got it put together in a reasonable way - thanks

[whole oak]

Module doesn't make metal contact with the case for grounding when friction fit.

So you screw it in to achieve that. Prevent getting zapped.

[jagged yacht]

my bros keyboard said it was gonna arrive 3 days ago and its still not here

[quasi mica]

I understand the point of grounding; I was referring to that conversation earlier between Vee and Jed about 8 hours ago about swapping pre-built 60HE v2 into the Alumaze

I’m sure it’s my misunderstanding somewhere though bc bought a different configuration

[celest mica]

Hey, do anyone know why is this happening ? The stab from backspace is sticky, remaining stuck sometimes and i need to wiggle it.
I just received it, put the module in,switches,keycaps and plug it in.
How do i solve this issue ?

[autumn timber]

Friction fit pad

Look above your backspace key, it's not inserted correctly

Reseat your module into the case and make sure the friction fit is aligned nicely

no bueno

[celest mica]

Thanks, i will try it

[whole oak]

The prebuilt 60HEv2 doesn't come with an alternative sandwich piece to make it non friction fit, the module does.

So the conversation was about what to do

[quasi mica]

Right, so if he wants to use those pieces, I can just give him the ones I’m not using that came with my module?
Since mine’s using the friction fit in the optimum?

[whole oak]

Conclusion was that the silicone pad that the friction fit piece has, has a hole for screwing through to ground it.

But yeah. Your solution also works.

[quasi mica]

Idk which he prefers but I figured it’s easier than asking for more parts if he wants them

Thanks a bunch for helping me understand

[celest mica]

@autumn timber one more question.. i did remove the screws and wiggle it a bit, now seems everything is fine (thank you veruly much for that) , do i need to remove the switches and everything to be able to open the module or it doesn't matter ?
Seems like i can not pull it aparat now

[autumn timber]

If you want to take the module apart, you do need to remove keycaps, switches and screws yes

[spring stirrup]

Removing switches and keycaps isn't necessary. Just remove stabilizer keycaps and 8 screws on the back of the PCB

[autumn timber]

But that's not taking it apart tho 🙁

Oh wait I'm dumb, you just want to separate PCB and plate

Ok yeah shafie is correct

[celest mica]

Good, thanks. Yes i wanted to make sure everything sits fine now, but didn't want to remove everything again .

[spring stirrup]

You might want to check if the PET film is positioned correctly on the PCB and if there's some lube leaked on it, can cause the stabilizer sticking. You'll need to remove the stabilizers for this though.

[celest mica]

Everything seems fine now, as long as it's not bothering me anymore with that sticky keys i think i will leave it like it is.(too tired to rmv everything again 😂)

[spring stirrup]

Yeah, seems good now.

[sinful falcon]

Shitty pics but my 60HE V2 inside the Optimum case

[grave snow]

bro got a gpu on the keycap, next level

[timber nimbus]

need to update that, ram costing more than gpu soon, so it's the more premium keycap computer part

[rapid gull]

my v2 just came in lets friggin GOO

[icy gull]

im sad.

[safe path]

Just got my HEv2 and i am seeing that the usb-c input is slightly elevated above the case fitting. When i press down on the board it goes down but pops back up again.

anyone who could help me here?

[distant mulch]

Take the module out, adjust the material in the bottom of the case, press the module in again, is it fixed?

[whole oak]

Push it down across the whole board. The friction fit "rubber band" has lifted slightly in shipping.

Just need to go down on all corners to stay.

[safe path]

when i go to push on the bottom corners the board pops up on the higher sides just now

the silicone padding was mounted wrong inside and i have readjusted it to fit now

however, since im already here. i would like to switch the silicone padding for the foam

i cant find it in the packaging though

[raw herald]

It's sneakily tucked away in a bit of a cardboard sandwich. Look closely and/or read the words you see, one of them says something like "alternative foam inside"

[rapid gull]

Ik how you feel. I paid for expedited shipping, ( 2 day ) and ups goes from las vegas to kentucky 💀 ( im in texas )

[icy gull]

..

and u got expedited shipping...

[worldly imp]

This worked - but I have some notes.

1st picture, screwed in only the right hole.

2nd picture - USB alignment with only right screw in. Tightness of the screw does not matter. I am no expert (though I did used to work at a hardware-focused startup, so I have more experience than a layman) but the tolerance is a bit concerning.

I was worried this might put unnecessary strain on the boards USB over time.

So, I chose to screw in the other side under the left tab key. 3rd picture is after tightening and loosening it until I was able to align the USB port satisfactorily.

Please consider this when making your tutorial - and further consider the thickness of the alumaze's included foam long-term when used alongside the he v2. It's not a serious concern imho if the user fits both screws, but they do miss out on any benefit or 'floatiness' the friction fit might offer.

[sullen bear]

installed my knights v2 into my wooting @lunar minnow
even with the little lube i have left, no rattle yay

[lunar minnow]

nice

[sullen bear]

buttttt

i ran out of 2.25u wires for the knights

[lunar minnow]

what should i use my clear soju novelties for

[slim mural]

So weird thing happened with me and the tikkens on the 60HE v2

[lunar minnow]

pfft fuck right shift

[sullen bear]

right???

[lunar minnow]

use that for the left spacebar

ezpz

[lunar minnow]

right shift unloved

[sullen bear]

fucking hell

i used the tx ap wire

and this shit is thick as fuck

now the wire stab with it is sluggish as shit

[lunar minnow]

@sullen bear maybe white alphas would work better?

witha blue shift

i need excuses to use more of the clear novelties

[slim mural]

i noticed that sometimes when releasing a 1u key, the analog readout on wooting's analog display was reading out as double clicking on release, and it also reflected in geometry dash

I swapped the up arrow from my 80HE and it went away, my guess is because the stem on the 80HE keycap is so worn down and loose, the micro-rattling of the keycap prevents the switch from double inputting on the release

I then remembered that the debounce filter exists, and it's actually the best debouce filter i have ever used, I am able to use the stock new 60HE v2 keys!

maybe its also a result of the firmware still being in beta

this isnt happening on my 80HE curiously with the 60HE v2, then again the 80HE is using Raw HE 50g instead of the tikkens

maybe its also a little to do with the FR4 plate but idk

[spring stirrup]

Does it happen if you swap Tikken with Raw and choose Raw in the switch selector?

[slim mural]

for the 60HE v2 PCB?

[spring stirrup]

Yes

[slim mural]

lets see

really?

i saw this happen to mikeytypes too

[lunar minnow]

50/50 on this

[slim mural]

except his switch or someone elses switch sompletely snapped

[spring stirrup]

Should be easy to pull with a good metal switch puller

[slim mural]

the paint isnt going to chip is it? i heard reviewers say that

[lunar minnow]

i havent had the paint chip/scratch on my plate using a metal puller tho its coated so
i use the TX puller

[slim mural]

ok

[lunar minnow]

this one

[spring stirrup]

Reviewers or only Squashy boy? His FR4 plate didn't have the final finish and that's why it chipped.

[slim mural]

oh maybe it was squashy

ok

i have a gateron twins puller

[spring stirrup]

I've heard that puller chips the paint, not sure if it's true or not though

Pullers like Wuque or TX shouldn't damage the paint

[slim mural]

we chillin

its in

lets see

im using a 1u switch from the 60HE v2 for this example

1u 80HE super used up arrow vs 1u 60HE v2 /? key

both boards have the RT settings on 0.1 up and down, 0.1 actuation

context: geometry dash

still issues with the new keycap

lemme try the old up arrow

it hates the geon switches more

the tikkens are fine

as long as i have the debounce filter on

but the keycaps i mentioned cause the different with the tikkens and debounce filter off

my guess is because the up arrow is so loose that it micro rattles and dampens the upstroke but i can't be certain

either way, the debounce algorithm is so good i can't feel a difference with it on or off with the old up arrow + tikkens

[upper gust]

Can anyone recommend keycaps for v2?

[ancient hornet]

I'

Bru

I'm building a red gmk redline build

Using the split spacebars

with this case

[clear coral]

after i upgraded new patch, my number row changed, i couldnt remap again

[whole oak]

Of course you can remap it?

French by any chance?

[fiery beacon]

The symbols that are shown on the keys are based on your OS keyboard layout, so make sure that is correct to what you want

[whole oak]

I vaguely recall one of the french layouts swapping the regular number row for their shift modifiers on the base layer. Hence my question 😄

[vapid barn]

Would it be possible to map a button on the uwu to work like a function key or switch profile for the 60he v2? Or would that not be possible because of how the function layers work?

[whole oak]

Devices cannot communicate between each other, no.

FN only exists within the device itself.

[vapid barn]

Yeah that's what I was guessing. Thanks for the quick answer! 🙂

[rotund lotus]

This is a feature request the dev team is aware of though, perhaps now that the background service exists, this functionality can be added 🙂

[short hare]

dev typing...

[vast lion]

yeah we've thought about it but it is not a priority at all :p

[rotund lotus]

[short hare]

[vast lion]

interesting input related improvements that use background service are coming

[whole oak]

[lunar minnow]

split spacebar
switchy keycaps

[severe raptor]

Split is the best way to go on a 60% layout (personal preference after a week of use)

And the tikken switches I love the colour of them so need to find a key cap set to match them lol

[icy gull]

https://tenor.com/view/lazy-cat-waiting-bored-kitten-gif-1995206403281348558

[ornate mulch]

pls help it feels impossible to simply remove a switch. I can't seem to get underneath the switch enough to pull it out.

[ornate mulch]

update: I believe I have broken two switches now and still do not understand how to remove these things. I kept pulling out the transparent thing you can pull out on the top of the switch and I think that's how the tiny plastic hook broke off. so that's pretty cool..

[icy gull]

um

what?

take picture

show us what u mean

[ornate mulch]

It’s the really small hook you’re meant to press down that broke off.

[icy gull]

oh i see it

u might have to unscrew the back

[ornate mulch]

I’ve never had to do that with any other keyboard but ok. Does something lock the switches on the board?

[icy gull]

No

u just have to clip it and yank it out

theres a video, either u can just yank it out if u dont decide to use it or u can unscrew it

https://youtu.be/WN_-GYLTfpY?si=ep8tdOEuhyytt573

[severe raptor]

Are you trying to remove all the switches?

[ornate mulch]

Ok yeah taking the keyboard apart it a lot easier to remove them.

No I just wanted to replace one

And it’s turned into this lol

[severe raptor]

Oh ya pulling one sucks cause the magnets in the PCB like to hold the switches tighter then a regular mechanical

[ornate mulch]

Got it. That makes sense. Thanks for helping me out guys.

[whole oak]

That's... not true at all.

I am amazed at the shit people make up 😄

[icy gull]

magnet in the pcb hold it tighter

https://tenor.com/view/eyebrowwiggle-coyote-roadrunner-magnet-gif-5063311

[whole oak]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-the-office-mood-me-face-gif-7842240

[icy gull]

like this?

https://tenor.com/view/cat-magnet-gif-295437821847557111

[whole oak]

You should be able to get the puller tool under the switch, even if the little W piece pops out. You can also put it back in.

[ornate mulch]

Yup I was putting the w piece back in

I just never got under the switch at all

Guess it’s just a skill issue moment or something

[icy gull]

skill issue

it is

u need to go to the gym

[ornate mulch]

lol real

[severe raptor]

My bad, always assumed that cause they are way easier to take out when the plate was separated from the PCB

[whole oak]

They're not really. But you can push them out from the back which can be easier and faster.

[icy gull]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-boing-magnet-gif-68133971528297969

https://tenor.com/view/catsegment-gif-27592398

magnet too stronk

[icy gull]

cant wait to put new keycap in this

[carmine summit]

alright, i am admitting defeat and asking for help.
i got a plate for my 60HE v2 but i cannot seem to get the plate to screw into the PCB, i am using the old screws from the module, as it says in the tutorial, however they just arent long enough to go all the way through. am i missing a standoff or somthing?

[icy gull]

so my keycap is not compatible with split

[slim mural]

imagine having a Wooting Two HE Lekker Edition and stealing those keycaps

the issue being the spacebar

[sand orbit]

I just received this today hope it’s fine 🥲

[severe raptor]

I'm not a fan of the white and yellow colours lol, I like the tikken cause they are gray and cyan lol

[late bison]

looks mint condition let me know how the unboxing goes

[sand orbit]

Yeah I was worried abt the switch box being busted open but all switches look good nothing broken

Kinda sad for the box but I’ll find something to replace it

[icy gull]

v2 is so responsive, i thought magnetic keyboard is all the same but i miss this

i love it

[slim mural]

looks more mint to me haha

[safe path]

Should i or should i not be using the c to a adapter

[slender plank]

dont matter

[safe path]

in terms for speed

oh

[slim mural]

doesn't matter!

[safe path]

was thinking it would play a factor into the true 8k polling rate but

[slim mural]

nah

its just the tachyon mode toggle

I still wanna know the average scan rate of the 60HE v2 when tachyon is disabled compared to the 80HE's 1,600Hz average scan with tachyon off

[icy gull]

im in love

with the wootang

[icy gull]

is there difference in the geon raw peforamce compare to tikken v2

[vast dagger]

Performance wise no, there's no real performance difference between any of the switches aside from the silent switches

Differences are in sound/feeling and that's personal preference

[icy gull]

Thanks so its all just sound and feeling

the actuation point wont matter

okay thank you, that makes sense

[severe raptor]

Cyan an mint look the same to me lol

[slim mural]

cyan to me looks like #00FFFF, lekker theme looks more green to me

[slender plank]

i cant tell which is the real one

but theres like both cyan and mint pictures online

prolly the cyan is real tho

[slim mural]

too low quality

cant see the image

[icy gull]

the friction fit make changing case easier

[still lotus]

With the Wooting friction fit, the keys near the silicone feet sound weird or slightly inconsistent compared to the others. I’m not sure why.

[icy gull]

edpm foam is better

try edpm foam

[tropic turret]

Also many have said that it sounds better w/o the PET film on the pcb (requires disassembling module though)

[lunar minnow]

it made no difference for my personal build

at least in person it didnt, i didnt record it through my pc or phone

[worldly imp]

What sort of arrow key configurations do ya'll prefer?

[wild tangle]

kind of regretting the split space-bar setup. Anyone else have it? I think it was too ambitious of a design. My thumb keeps hitting the FN1 middle button when pressing space. I think they should've just had 2 spacebars instead of getting fancy with an additional middle button.

gonna practice learning spacebar with left thumb lol

[timber nimbus]

it's adjustment period for people who use right side of spacebar

takes a couple weeks or so if you're one of the people in that niche

[wild tangle]

ah ok, so most people use left spacebar for general typing? interesting. I am able to type with right side, but if i'm sitting at a diff angle or something, sometimes my thumb reaches farther and hits the middle button. Just seems less convenient overall. I don't want to learn how to use less space for my thumb (and only in particular seating arrangements). Better off learning left side possibly, will look into it.

I've been using my left thumb for c, v lately trying to increase WPM so maybe I switch to right thumb on b,n instead.

[timber nimbus]

yeah in general a lot of people don't have the perfect ergonomic typing style that uses right side of spacebar, so for a lot of those guys they instantly adapt to split without much effort

it's more of a learning curve for those who learnt to type properly and press spacebar with right thumb for example

[astral rock]

I use space bar with right thumb and still love the split.

Right thumb is typing space, left thumb is WASD jump space.

[wild tangle]

Looking more into it, I gotta stay with right thumb on space, but my thumb definitely catches that gap here and there when typing. I think if they made the spacebars equal sizes (2.5u each instead of 2.75/2.25), it woulda been perfect, but I guess many gamers use the right edge of the left spacebar. Idk

ya i do left thumb for gaming jumping.

[timber nimbus]

Yeah the larger left side was to prioritise gaming usage

[whole oak]

Also making them equal sizes would mess with keycap compatibility

[dusty sundial]

same!

[pulsar sierra]

I've gone ahead and ordered my wooting but the orders gone wrong and my keycaps and case aren't included I thought I paid for all of it but I didn't

so I've put it on hold before it's shipped can I add the keycaps and case to if?

[whole oak]

There's an option to upgrade an order on the hub. If that doesn't work, you can either cancel the order and place a new one. Or contact support on the hub for help.

[pulsar sierra]

I have I just haven't heard back from them yet and I don't want it to get pushed to the next batch order ykwim?

it said that to upgrade it I have to contact support

or am I maybe missing something

[whole oak]

You either fix it now and gamble on the batch, or you wait for support to respond back after christmas (most likely)

There is no one, optimal answer here 🙂

[pulsar sierra]

To upgrade it is there an option on the website or do I have to contact support?

[whole oak]

If the hub won't let you, then support is the only potential option. I can't guarantee that all changes are possible, due to the complexity of taxes.

[pulsar sierra]

right okay when I go home I'll try it on the hub because I haven't even tried that option yet

[pulsar sierra]

can you provide me with a link or a ss on where I can find that page please

[whole oak]

You said you already reached out though?
https://wooting.io/support

[pulsar sierra]

yeah but I didn't know there was an option to upgrade on the hub

I reached out to support straight away instead

[whole oak]

The option would be on the order's page on the hub.

[pulsar sierra]

okay got it

[pulsar sierra]

thank you

I'll have a look in an hour and let you know

[pulsar sierra]

so I can just add the case and keycaps?

would it be preassembled then or no

[whole oak]

We don't assemble items. You would receive everything in separate product boxes. But it's a case of pushing in things like LEGO in your case.

You can always ask for help here, once you have everything.

You need Module, Case, 70 Switches and Keycaps to build the board.

[pulsar sierra]

okay got it I've never built a keyboard before hence why I was a bit nervous but if you put it like that I'm sure it'll be easy

[wind anchor]

@whole oak I think i reverted it correctly

i am not sure though

How can I check if ive done it correctly

Also do I use the silicone dampening layer or the foam in my case

[whole oak]

If it looks like this, before you put the switch plate back and screw it in, it should be good. Black part in the center, silicone friction fit outside.

As for whether to use silicone or the foam for the case - Personal preference. It changes how the keyboard sounds when you type. So you can try one, then swap to the other later. The module can easily be pulled out of the case with the little orange pulling toon in the hole to the right of the spacebar.

[wind anchor]

yes it looked like that i suppose

I have the switches in so I cant double check

[wind anchor]

which key is the bottom right one?

is it the function key?

[whole oak]

CTRL then FN in the corner.

[wind anchor]

perfect

It seens to be working

Thank you very very much for your help ❤️ @whole oak

[whole oak]

[jolly isle]

Bad boy arrived

[wild tangle]

the 2.5u keycap compatibility seemed doable though. Think that's the size of the Enter key and L-Shift.

I still gotta spend as much time possible on the KB before I decide. I love the length of the 60HE, makes my typing center feel much better.

[timber nimbus]

shift is 2.25

[whole oak]

So what about the center keycaps then?

[timber nimbus]

It’s right and left shift sizes basically that are 2.25 and 2.75u

Basically nothing is 2.5u unfortunately

[wild tangle]

ahh I see. yeah you're right, it's 2.25u. That changes the dynamic. 2.5u doesn't exist. So weird.

Then in that case, since most people are right thumb space typists, maybe 2.25 for left and 2.75 for right. Did you guys do in-house testing to see (I'm guessing yes, lol)?

[timber nimbus]

It’s mostly that this one was picked because it carried best to gamers who wasd and rest thumb on space during it

Bigger left thumb made it easier to adjust to split

[wild tangle]

This guy built a cool new joystick, just found out about it. That left spacebar additional space would help here for that. So good tradeoff I guess.

[past pine]

Wooting v2 split setup

[wild tangle]

I turned on Diablo 4, yeah you need that 2.75u spacebar lol. Almost even hitting the right edge too, lolz.

still kind of weird, could've just made both of them longer and not have that function button. But we'll see how it does.

ah nm, no 3u+ keycaps out there except the spacebar, lol.

[wraith mesa]

Love this thing!

[slim mural]

sup twin?

does anyone know how i can possibly bind the spacebars as two different keys, but be recognized as two spacebars when typing, but in games as two different key binds?

it's hard to explain

ideally I wish there would be "spacebar 1" and spacebar 2"

for example, they work as spacebars when typing, but I could bind them to 2 different imputs for 2 player levels in geometry dash

[oblique pendant]

Maybe you can do some register trickery to make another key/function behave like spacebar but not actually the same key as spacebar

[slim mural]

ill have to think

I think I just came up with a new advanced key feature

scratch that nvm

[raw herald]

Auto profile switching would solve this

Pray to the bg service gods

[pulsar sierra]

where is it? @whole oak

the reason why i dont want to purchase the keycaps and the aluminium case seperately is because its cheaper with the keybaord

i was certain i added it but when i checked it wasnt there, i think i just forgot to add it but id like to add the aluminium case and the keycaps and i have contacted support but they havent gotten back to me yet is there anyway you could add this onto my order

i want to get the keyboard quickly and its on me for not checking it thoroughly before ordering

[raw herald]

You are speed running a ban with these @‘s my friend

[pulsar sierra]

oh shit

my bad

ill undo it rn

[pulsar sierra]

ty for lmk

[rare karma]

Wishing a miracle on Christmas is just normal thing in life 😉

[limpid epoch]

At the start the split spacebar is really weird but after fews hours it’s ok

[wraith mesa]

I agree it takes a bit of getting used to

[limpid epoch]

Of course and it’s normal for most of people it’s the first time. It’s not usual

[slim mural]

Is there a way to bind for example, F13 to type what spacebar would, without triggering the "spacebar" function?

The way I see it, each key by default is identified as a "keybind", and keybind outputs something. Is this true?

The idea is I want to bind right space to F13, but each time it would activate, it would type out the an empty space, eithout triggering/interfering with the "spacebar" keybind if that makes sense

therefore, 2 keys, type the same key, and act as 2 differekt keys

[wild tangle]

any vids of the 60hev2 wrist rest out there? it says 13.63 inches in length. Little long for the length of the v2?

[raw herald]

I suspect they copy pasta'd from the 80HE rest.

[wild tangle]

maybe typo on the dimensions on the page

[raw herald]

It's the same width as the v2

Right.

[wild tangle]

nice, ty!

[raw herald]

It's copied from the 80HE page

[wild tangle]

how is it btw? looks good

[raw herald]

It's pretty much the same as the 80HE aside from the hook on the front

[wild tangle]

ic

[sonic grail]

Did I mess something up? Why is there a random screw in the middle that has no hole?

Nvm I’m dumb that’s the wrong one

[wild tangle]

Anyone who has the new wrist rest or even the old one, don't you think the 4 inch width is kind of long? Pushes your keyboard farther into the desk. I think the plus of the new version is that it's more tapered than the old one so maybe you feel that 4'' less.

Most rests out there are like 3'' wide or so.

[slim mural]

My friend made an AHK script so the spacebars type out the unicode for the space character, and act/identify as separate keybinds

this is really good, I wish to see this in wootility someday

[slim mural]

it keeps breaking tho

but i know it will have insane potential

[wild tangle]

80HE vs new 60hev2 wrist rest - Seems the 80 actually has a lower starting height, then quickly shoots up into a consistent slope. Whereas the 60 has the same angle from the beginning, but starts a little higher. Wonder why the design change? Is the 60 one better? ;0

[whole oak]

They're... different keyboards.

[timber nimbus]

Different preferences. Some like one or other style of slope

[slim mural]

I think it's because the cases are just different

[whole oak]

The 80 has a dedicated wrist rest for it.

[timber nimbus]

Interesting we’ve had people complain about both versions of the slope saying they like the other version more

So it’s one of those things where it’s just going to come down to the person

[whole oak]

Can't please everyone.

[slim mural]

I didnt wanna tag anyone but I have a pretty cool idea for wootility, and it's something that I think would be game changing

thanks

I tried to be as detailed as possible, but im not the greatest at typing my ideas out.

[wanton marsh]

can i use 100% brightness and tachyon mode with the cable that came in the box?

or will something happen?

[wild tangle]

pulled the trigger on the case and wrist rest. I gotta try it for myself lol.

[vast dagger]

should be able to, only one way to find out

[whole oak]

Yes.

[orchid wadi]

Well, I was dumb and pulled keycaps while using friction fit and not holding down the module. The module came out top first but it wasn't connected. How dangerous is that, long run?

[icy gull]

not dangerous at all

if u scare just screw one of the thing

in to the board

[icy gull]

that happened to me too when change keycap, i just pull the whole module out to change keycap then put it back into board

[orchid wadi]

Well, lesson learned, but it's currently working fine, so no harm done. For now.

[icy gull]

screw one of them if u scare

[orchid wadi]

Nah, I got this now.

[icy gull]

verwy nice

as long as you dont absolutely destroy the usb-c port then its fine

[orchid wadi]

S'all good then! Will not be making that mistake again.

[rotund lotus]

This is beautiful

[lean dome]

Those are really nice keycaps

[hardy wadi]

only blue keycap set i like in this server

[raw herald]

I won't tell him 🙊

[orchid wadi]

Glad people like it. Shame that the official version is out of stock or I'd link it.

[hardy wadi]

Its okay link them fren

all jokes aside whos the girl on the desktop matt ? Is it from genshin ?

[cunning stirrup]

Yoo, can i friction mount on the Alumaze60

[raw herald]

Yes

[hardy wadi]

nvm its a vtuber

[hardy wadi]

how you enjoying the split space bar

[raw herald]

I am enjoying it, but now that I know I'm a right spacebar typer I've been struggling to make full use in games where I want to chat

Certainly accessing Fn more easily has been a boon. I plan to try incorporating some more fn layer shortcuts with it, but want to make sure I adjust to the split fully first before I change more up on my old brain.

[hardy wadi]

ahhh I see i was thinking about split space bar but I feel like I would press the middle one to much by mistake since my left thumb usually in the middle of the spacebar or sometimes to the left of it

That right spacebar would never be touched

[raw herald]

My left thumb does rest in the middle, but as I thought I've quickly adapted

[hardy wadi]

I see i see

[raw herald]

didn't take long

[hardy wadi]

I wish it was one of those things I can test in person before buying to see if I would really enjoy it or not

[raw herald]

For sure, c'mon over.

I think smallish changes like that are very much within the realm of things you'll adapt to quickly, but only you'd know if you'd like it or find it useful

[icy gull]

yea i like the split spacebar

my thumb rest on it, good coms button

i wonder if it makes it better

yup i just took out all of my tools

LOL

[hardy wadi]

[sullen bear]

nah

no difference

[candid pollen]

hey all, im super new to keyboards -- i've been running a keychron k2 for a while but it has terrible connection issues and overall feels really bad

i want to try building a keyboard, would the 60he v2 be feasible for a beginner?

if so, thoughts on these selections?

[calm ginkgo]

If you can build a Lego set, you can build a standard wooting kb.
And that's literally just a diy stock 60he v2

[candid pollen]

haha yeah i want close-to-stock options to begin with but flexibility to mod in the future

and i just like the idea of putting it together myself (and faster shipping)

but thank you! sounds like it should be easy enough

[wild tangle]

hmm, so friction fit is worse for pulling out switches? More likely module pops out? So if you want to remove 1 switch for example, you'd have to hold down the other keys while pulling, right? Seems manageable.

[whole oak]

Well... duh? 😄

You're asking if pulling out a switch - which is the exact same motion as pulling out the module is counter productive to pulling out the switch?

You obviously need the module flat on a table or similar, if you want to be able to provide opposing pressure to pull the switch.

[slim mural]

yep!

welcome to the gang

[split slate]

My Frostlord is apparently still in Oakland but it is supposed to be delivered in the Netherlands tomorrow

[pulsar sierra]

i need to buy a case for my wooting

would this be fine

[timber nimbus]

sure, although do keep in mind that plate isn't cut for 60he v2

[pulsar sierra]

oh no

which plate do you recommend i shouold get

i had an issue with my order

[timber nimbus]

none of them, you don't need the plate

[pulsar sierra]

where the plate didnt get included for some weird reason

so i contacted support ands theyre taking too long so i js gave up and tried ordering it myself and assembkling it myself

[timber nimbus]

unless you specifically want to change plate materials there's no reason to buy the plate

they include it there as an upsell, but it's not required as part of the case

[pulsar sierra]

oh okay

ill remove that then

is the case compatible

[timber nimbus]

yes

[pulsar sierra]

yk for the

case

[timber nimbus]

i would get the weight instead of foam personally, but that's up to you

[pulsar sierra]

i wanted to buy the aluminium case fromn wooting but its 80 instead of 50

i did contact support but they wouldnt respond until after christmas

is there a discount code or somehtying you could provide so i can have the case price matched to what itd be if i bought it with the keyboard?

[timber nimbus]

we don't do that as far as I know, but I'm not in the support department so I'm not sure what policies they run there

typically it's much faster to cancel and re-order vs. trying to do order edits which are not always possible depending on the edit

[pulsar sierra]

it says this

so can i still cancel it and then reorder?

[timber nimbus]

oh if it's iso don't cancel

[pulsar sierra]

what does that mean im con fused

[timber nimbus]

that iso module is sold out for awhile iirc, so you don't want to be put into the back of the queue

cancel and re-order would put you back into the queue since it's a sold out item for this batch and awaiting next batch

[pulsar sierra]

oh okay

i just want to add the case but its so expensive without the keyboiard

can you help me find an aluminium case which would be perfect for the keyboard?

[timber nimbus]

yeah you'd have to wait for the support to reply to the order edit ticket

[pulsar sierra]

https://kbdfans.com/products/tofu60-redux-case?variant=41472688226443

i found this

[timber nimbus]

as I said earlier yes that case fits

[pulsar sierra]

is this okay

[pulsar sierra]

okay and you mentioned something about this

[timber nimbus]

you get an option of internal weight or internal foam filler

[pulsar sierra]

so i shouldnt get this?

oh so choose the brass bar

[timber nimbus]

you don't need the filler foam then

it's one or the other

[pulsar sierra]

so is this fine

[timber nimbus]

you can get the foam if you want to just try it out, but you can only use one at a time basically

[pulsar sierra]

oh okay bet

and

the thing witgh this case

is that it doesnt have the

erm yk that wooting tag thing

[timber nimbus]

no grounding, yes

[pulsar sierra]

where u can add a tag

[timber nimbus]

and no tag

[pulsar sierra]

what does groudning mean

yeah

can you help me find a case which huas grounding and a tag and that is aluminium

please

[timber nimbus]

it means if you want to ground the case electrically you'll need to screw in one screw

no 3rd party cases do grounding right now besides the ones we sell which are v2 aluminium case, owlab and optimum case in our stores

[pulsar sierra]

what advantages do i get if i gert the grounding thing you mentioned

[timber nimbus]

it means if you static shock your keyboard it goes through the keyboard correctly, it's just an extra safety measure we do with our cases that 3rd parties don't usually do

[pulsar sierra]

ah shoot

i didnt know this beforehand

i did try ordering it witht he case but it didnt come through for some reason im such an idiot for not double checking beforehand

[pulsar sierra]

is that something which commonly happens?

[timber nimbus]

not often no, but some people live in drier climates that have shock happen more

[pulsar sierra]

so if im from uk would i be safe then

[timber nimbus]

honestly if you want a pre-grounded case then just wait for support ticket and see if they can add case to your order

[pulsar sierra]

it was going to take too long so i already released it from hold yhou see

[timber nimbus]

otherwise any of these 3rd party options will require you do the extra screw

[pulsar sierra]

so im not sure if theyll still be able to dos oemthing

it just says this

is there anyway i can give you my order number and you can have a look

oh nevermind

i got this email

[timber nimbus]

well there you go

[pulsar sierra]

but theres no invoice

[timber nimbus]

did you check your email and spam folder?

[pulsar sierra]

yeah nothing here

look

[timber nimbus]

nothing in spam folder?

sometimes emails get stuck there

[timber nimbus]

that search only searches normal inbox

[pulsar sierra]

my spam is empty too

[timber nimbus]

odd, maybe they forgot to attach it to that email

[pulsar sierra]

i think so

[timber nimbus]

just reply and ask about it

[pulsar sierra]

is there any way i can swap to a split pcb instead

ive been seeing more people in the server talk about it

[timber nimbus]

anyhow i can't do anything to help you directly with the ticket because i'm not support staff. I'm in a completely different department

[pulsar sierra]

im beginning to change my mind slowly now

[timber nimbus]

if you swap to split pcb you'll be waiting until next year i think

[pulsar sierra]

oh hell njah

ion need the extrra binds

[timber nimbus]

the line for split iso is sold out for a bit

[pulsar sierra]

ive sent the email i hope thye respond quick enough

also

one more question

[safe path]

are the pre installed switches the lekker tikken mediums or the linear 60's?

[spring stirrup]

Tikken

[safe path]

gotcha

[pulsar sierra]

is there any point in buying extra switches then?

[pulsar sierra]

this is what ive boughht so im confused with the switches

[calm ginkgo]

You bought a module so that doesn't include Tikken switches. You chose geon raw as your switch, there isn't any extra switches on your order other than the 20 novelty heist switches.

[pulsar sierra]

whats the best switch

geon raw or ttc kom rgb

[timber nimbus]

of those options tikkens or kom pom, but personally i'd buy tikkens if you're unsure

3rd party switches can always be bought later to try others out

tikkens are basically dirt cheap when buying in module kit, so it's kind of a no brainer to have them as your default, then try out other stuff after

[pulsar sierra]

so i should stay with the lekker tekken medium for now

okaybet thank you

[rare karma]

@pulsar sierra how many Hall effect switches have you tried out?

[pulsar sierra]

none

i have an apex pro tkl and thats the only keybaord i ever used

its a 1st gen too

[rare karma]

So how would you know which is better then the other without any reference?

[pulsar sierra]

i dont know hence why ia sked

that and i watched some yt reviews

[rare karma]

But we’re not you 😅. My preference maybe isn’t the same as you. And the YouTuber taste may be different than yours

[pulsar sierra]

is it only a difference in sound?

i want more performance out of it if anything

[lunar minnow]

performance doesnt come from the switches

[rare karma]

Well. I would say. Wooting should be tuning their own switches. Better than a competitor 😌

[lunar minnow]

its from the pcb and how well it handles magnets and its software

[fiery beacon]

Depends on your definition of performance 👀

[rare karma]

What kind of performance are you looking for in a keyboard?

[spring stirrup]

After the switch selector they're equally tuned. More switches will be available soon™.

[rare karma]

One that makes me a winner 🏆

[fiery beacon]

It is mostly pcb/firmware/software, but the wobble "performance" at the end of the press does matter for rapid trigger performance & how tight the calibration can be without off-center key presses not being observed as a full bottom-out

[lunar minnow]

[spring stirrup]

Stable switches on top

[lunar minnow]

[spring stirrup]

[lunar minnow]

[rare karma]

Didn’t knew cabriolet switches was a thing 🤔

[spring stirrup]

Switches with a lot of wobble

🤯

[rare karma]

I thought it was a feature ( or character) - in the world of perfectionism, sloppy tolerance is bad QC associated with lower production costs. Is it not?

[pulsar sierra]

just speed and thats it really

[echo shard]

Anyone else have a pair of rough stabilizers? My backspace key is kinda sticky when pressing down.

[cunning stirrup]

Give me tips, where on the keyboard is the “ridiculous heavy” switches best to have?

[timber nimbus]

could be improperly seated friction fit that either got pushed weirdly in shipping or installed weirdly

check to see if the top near backspace is caught or sticking weirdly

[vestal crescent]

My baby arrived

[limpid epoch]

On the website there’s only 21% split spacebar keyboard but i saw more split on YTB and everywhere else than normal spacebar

[timber nimbus]

a lot of average joes buy normal because they don't understand split and it's different

you likely see a much higher amount of non average joes online, since they're people who are more into peripherals and new tech

[pulsar sierra]

youre making me regret the normal one now

[timber nimbus]

i showed the split to my group of normie gamer rl friends and they all were worried because it looked different and weird

it's not until you use it that most realise it's not that hard to adapt unless you're a specific type of ergo typer normally

[pulsar sierra]

i wanted to get it

but i have really weird joints i my hands espically and havea lot of joint issues otherwise i wouldve bought it

i js didnt wanna risk it

i wish there was anoption for it ot be interchangeable

[stuck pier]

does the switch selector change your switch type or does it stay the same

[rugged cave]

is this supposed to break while trying to swap switches

[lunar minnow]

its weak so pretty common yes

[rugged cave]

damn i dont think im gonna be able to do this

i put like 2 hours into trying to replace my w switch cause its lowkey sticking a bit

but like no matter what i do i cant get it off

[lunar minnow]

you can unscrew the plate and push it out

[rugged cave]

which screws

back of the pcba?

[lunar minnow]

yes

[rugged cave]

i'll give that a shot

[hardy wadi]

for the price of the keyboard you think they would add a better keycap/switch puller

[raw herald]

Personally, for the price of a good keyboard I expect a good keyboard

[timber nimbus]

I believe a better switch puller has been discussed as something that needs to be added. No timeframe for it yet but it’s something the team is very much aware about

[hardy wadi]

what if I told you.....you can have both

[raw herald]

I can, I bought both. Capitalism, ho!

I snapped the tooth off of mine after pulling hundreds of switches.

[whole oak]

I've been done pulling dem switches since before the 80HE released, and I have yets to break any of the pullers. I just keep raking up more in storage.

[raw herald]

Some kinda savant masochist

[brittle lion]

This is a crazy noob question but am I missing a cover piece or is the module all white and I just put my switches and keycaps on?

[rare karma]

Don’t worry, if you haven’t had anything else to compare to. This keyboard will be the best keyboard you’ll ever experienced 😉.

Ofc, this is only true until you’ve matured enough to be able to formulate your own opinions and preferences 😆

[brittle lion]

Did I miss an option to make the module black or does it not matter because it’ll be hidden under keycaps? First time building using module sorry for the stupid question lol

[rare karma]

Not sure if you can compare an entusiast to a normal person 😅

[rare karma]

White = better RGB

[brittle lion]

Trueeee I didn’t think of that

Okay follow up noob question: was I supposed to take the sticker off the back? The one that says “get to know your module” and points out where everything is

[lunar minnow]

there is no option for a black plate

[lunar minnow]

its a tape mod, some prefer to have it on, some prefer to have it off

just changes sound

[brittle lion]

What do you prefer snore

[lunar minnow]

for my build, on

[brittle lion]

Okay I’ll try it on first and if the sound stinks I’ll take it off :) thanks!

[brittle lion]

I really liked these keycaps but they didn’t come with a split keyboard option 😂 novelty keys arrive tomorrow but until then my keyboard is spaceless

[merry bear]

that one delete key in the middle looks so naked to me its funny

[brittle lion]

Bro I didn’t have any other options 🤣

I’ll put the Super or Hyper key there when the novelties arrive and I can replace the windows key with something

Or I’ll put a novelty there

I guess I could put the extra right shift on the right side HAHA but I don’t have a good replacement for left spacebar

Phenomenal stuff.

[raw herald]

man that sucks, luckily these boxes are made to protect the product! hope your wooting is ok~

Anyone have recommendations for keycaps that pair well with the blue alumaze case?

[hardy wadi]

white wooting keycaps

White does look handsome on it

[hardy wadi]

its tuff

[raw herald]

But may I also suggest all the colors

[hardy wadi]

Keep cooking turing

[lunar minnow]

thats a lot of colors

[brittle lion]

That looks great damn. I went with GMK blue samurai and they look solid too, might look for some white novelties as a trim

[raw herald]

That’s GMK BoW, but I’m sure any stark white would look nice

[brittle lion]

What cap is supposed to go on the split spacebar mod key

[raw herald]

Any 1.25u

[brittle lion]

Yeah lemme rephrase

What legend cap should go on it

Is there an accepted function of it

[raw herald]

It defaults to Fn

[brittle lion]

Interesting. Idk if I need another Fn I’m pretty happy with the one in the bottom right

[raw herald]

Most folks including myself are putting a novelty in there

[brittle lion]

Yeah. What are you binding it to?

[raw herald]

Fn

[brittle lion]

Well.

[raw herald]

Makes it easier to access the stuff I need

But it’s really up to you

[brittle lion]

Might put it to like tilde for niche bindings

Or I’ll make it fn2 at that point

do i need to pur 1 screw or can i just drop it in?

[whole oak]

Yes. Top right screw.

For grounding.

[livid igloo]

Guys what are the specs of the 20 novelty switches which came with the founder edition?

Are they the same as the lekker tikken medium sold directly by wooting?

[whole oak]

100g. So about double of the regular Tikken

[livid igloo]

Whoa. Is that 100g bottom out? What is the intended use? For the space bar? Or just look cool

[whole oak]

Fun.

[stiff pumice]

Am I allowed to open the founders edition switch pack if I ever want to send the keyboard back in the 30 days period

I don't even know what I'm gonna use them for but I forgot I got them too

[minor jungle]

eh i wanted both founders and the uwu for free potentially

thatd be ideal

but it doesnt work like that

unless u watched the podcast on the release date

[stiff pumice]

i really love this keyboard but it breaks my hand the angle is way too high without a wrist rest for me

[minor jungle]

sh i regret not buying it

[willow hollow]

We also added an option to Mod Tap JIT to activate the Tap key, which ensures that typing with mod tap on the alpha keys won't result in characters being out of intended order.

they just fixed it !

typing seems to be in correct order now

when mod tap is used

update to the new 5.3.0-beta.2

• one problem still occuring when mod tap is set to tap for "e" and "a" and "d" are using rappy snappy. when typing fast "a" "d" are still going out of order

[rare karma]

It’s not limited - just buy it whenever you’re ready

[strange fable]

les go

[whole oak]

[shy stump]

Whyd they only give us 20 founder switches

[whole oak]

Cause they're a fun thing, not intended to replace all of your switches with heavy af switches 😄

[hardy wadi]

founder switches are 100g and regular tikkens are 50g

[shy stump]

why not :(

[whole oak]

Try them and find out - If you're insane enough to actually like them (like me with 80g switches), then you can simply make more using our spring packs and switch tools.

[shy stump]

spring packs?

[hardy wadi]

spring packs are a box of springs you can buy to replace the springs on your switches

[shy stump]

oh

[hardy wadi]

just use 50g regular tikkens

unless you wanna suffer from 100g switch pain

[proud mulch]

is there anything im missing? im thinking there is no plate/foam dampening here so I might need to buy my own

[whole oak]

Case comes with a silicone and EDPM piece, so you can decide between them.

[proud mulch]

Thanks, so there is nothing else additonal I need to purchase from a third party?

or should i say - could purchase additonally to improve the sound of keyboard some more?

[spring stirrup]

If you care about sound, swap POMs with Tikkens. TTC POMs don't come lubed and sound/feel isn't as good.

[proud mulch]

thanks for the tip, i actually think i meant to buy these switches but i forgot and ordered the wrong ones!

[spring stirrup]

TTC POM is still a good switch, they have very good stem wobble and if you hand lube them, they sound fine.

[proud mulch]

Too clacky. I prefer the thocc of the Tikkens vs these ones. I watched a video comparing them just now

[mild shoal]

Anything I need/should change here?

[whole oak]

For a prebuilt board? No that's a solid selection.

Wooting is an enthusiast keyboard manufacturer. The products are build to order. You can place your order at ant time.

If you’re waiting until it’s readily available in stock… it’s either going to take quite some time or something new is scheduled for release 😌

[rare karma]

I have been waiting for the knobs since the 80HE and previous to that the 60he people have been waiting it too. 😆

Just buy a separate keypads with programmable knobs.

[grim glen]

they arent built to order

they are massproduced

[rare karma]

I might have used the wrong description. But your approach to the purchase experience is definitely not the mainstream mass produced like Razer and Logitech

Our orders is split into batches. If. There’re no orders will there be a production batch? This system was designed to not over produce and keep an efficient stock supply dictated by demand?

[astral rock]

After spending a lot of time on the TTC KOM POM and the Lekker Tikken:

KOM POM had the stabilty that i wanted

Lekker Tikken had the travel and feel that I wanted.

And I prefer the Tikken

[lone remnant]

thanks!

The a key on my v2 has some weird resistance/click on the last 0.1mm; trying to pull the switch via the included puller, but - I'm new to this - this seems to need much more force than anticipated. Is the puller uncapable or me? 😂

Getting my drill.

[grim glen]

there is always production batches with every company.

its just that we allow people to know which of then youre part of

most companies would just break it down to its either in stock or it isnt.

[wild tangle]

got the 60hev2 case, is that square little thing at the top left of the case, the grounding mechanic? Silvery foam thing, lol.

[whole oak]

Yes

[sharp dust]

But seriously, would I need to disassemble the keyboard to maybe also push the switch from the bottom side? Because it is really in there.

[whole oak]

To push it out from behind, You will indeed have to screw it apart.

[slim mural]

the wootility beta is open for the public to use right

[lavish notch]

I've noticed that if I set the brightness to 100%, there is an EXTREMELY high frequency sound coming out of the keyboard. It is very faint, but headache inducing. Has anyone experienced the same? I asked my girlfriend and she cannot hear it, no matter how close to the keyboard she is.

[grim glen]

its coilwhine like due to the play of highpower signals for the leds and the magnets and such. it requires quite good ears to hear as you and your gf already figured out.

the only solution really is lower rgb brightness

[foggy hull]

Do any of you guys have phantom presses on your backslash? I replaced the switch, turned off rgb, tried another cord and it's still there. It's surely not the grounding screw causing issues right

No I haven't, not sure what that is. It was working fine for a week until yesterday. Will I need to disassemble the pcb?

[wild tangle]

my 80HE had ghost presses, my 60HEv2 has 0 so far lol.

but then again, I moved some stuff to a new USB hub, so that could be helping my 60HEv2

USB hub might help you too, ;0

[foggy hull]

I will try now and check. Weird it started now than when I first got it

[hardy wadi]

you should test it out

to see if that was the case

[wild tangle]

I guess I could plug the other usbs back into main PC, to see if 60HEv2 starts ghosting.

[hardy wadi]

wait wait wait

[wild tangle]

my mice and KB are back of PC, everything else on the hub now.

[hardy wadi]

are you on 60v2 or 80he

icl i thought this was 80he chat

@foggy hull

[foggy hull]

60v2

[hardy wadi]

@foggy hull

[hardy wadi]

dont touch your module just yet

ignore what i said

thats advice for 80he

[foggy hull]

i also tried the beta firmware

[wild tangle]

yeah if you're on 60hev2, def try USB hub.

[hardy wadi]

if youre still having issues

[wild tangle]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1BXHGBK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 - I bought this one. Awesome.

[hardy wadi]

make a ticket in #1019755933959733258

[foggy hull]

ive tried all usb ports on my laptop still the same problem

so idk if a hub will solve it

[hardy wadi]

then just do this and wait for wooting team to help you out

[foggy hull]

oh no i saw someone else who had a similar ticket and they said the HE sensor may be damaged 💀

[hardy wadi]

just make a ticket and find out

you have 4 year warranty

[foggy hull]

yea i did, i also made a support ticket on the website

i found it still presses when theres no switch in the board, defo not a good sign

[teal basalt]

Will you be able to import your settings on Wootility from a 60HE v1 to a 60HE v2?

[spring stirrup]

Yes

[slim mural]

Does that also apply for people that get the split spacebar or only the OG?

[raw herald]

It won't map the right and left space properly, like this.

[slim mural]

fair haha

[sullen bear]

i think it has to be og

since split is not the same layout and all taht

sent my code to a friend that also has the ooting but forgot about the layout and they couldn't import

[slim mural]

this happens @sullen bear

[sullen bear]

ah ic

what about the other way around tho

[slim mural]

probably just say spacebar

[ancient locust]

How do I set my middle function key to another key?

[slender plank]

go to remapping tab

and drag something there

[slim mural]

To remove the assigned function, right click the key in wootility

[proud mulch]

Does anyone know a website for ANSI split keycaps?

[stuck sky]

[merry bear]

is there a wooden case u can get for the v2?

[whole oak]

Look for ones that work with the 60HE, tray mount the v2 module. You may need to sand it down a bit.

[merry bear]

oke

btw do you know what type of case material would be best for thock

i think wood is the best hence why i asked but

just curious if theres anything better for that

[whole oak]

Not a clue. That's a question for #🔧│keyboard_modding for sure.-

[merry bear]

oh okeh

thanks

[proud mulch]

polycarbonate

i think its the best for thock

also im pretty sure plastic > aluminium for thock

does the PCB for the 60HE V2 fit in the 60HE+ case?

[merry bear]

oh

whats aluminiums strong suit then

[merry bear]

ye

[spring stirrup]

Plastic case? Not with the friction fit pad.

[proud mulch]

not sure about aluminium but I know that polcarbonate produces more thock than aluminum just by comparing polycarbonate case builds on youtube vs aluminum ones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0OEIwC-EUk

heres an example

idk im not an expert so i may be wrong

[proud mulch]

i see, not sure what to expect when i get the 60HE v2 i will have to build it myself as i chose that option

i was wondering if i would be able to compare the sound profiles between the two cases as i have a 60HE+ case. And will be getting the aluminum 60HE v2 case

[merry bear]

ohh ok

[proud mulch]

IDK IF im actually right tho watch some vids on youtube id say

[merry bear]

okee

🫡

[devout mural]

yo need some help, does the pcb come apart on the v2? trying to replace the switches and getting kinda confused

sorry for the ignorance my first time tryin this

[raw herald]

60v2 disassembly is just the assembly backwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF6i5ozV5bY

[devout mural]

ty, i’m just havin troubles pullin the switches out, feels like im breaking it but it’s workin just slowly

[devout mural]

i got like 80% done and the fuckin cheap ass switch puller tool broke

[devout mural]

damn i also thought that lil bag covered the whole keyboard lmao why do they only give you 20 my dumbass

[late bison]

theyre 100g switches so doubt u want ur whole keyboard to be those switches

[devout mural]

yeah im learning and idk how i feel about em

thocky forsure

[proud mulch]

https://www.mechmods.co.uk/collections/keycaps/products/pbtfans-1984?variant=55647026938234

---

would this keycap set work with the 60he v2?

[spring stirrup]

Yes, but for the 60HE v2 split you'll need to buy spacebar extension kit too

[proud mulch]

thanks

[proud mulch]

Do you know which keys the split spacebar uses?

[spring stirrup]

2.75 1.25 2.25

[proud mulch]

ty

[devout mural]

random question, is it possible to get the split spacebar after receiving the normal one?

[proud mulch]

I believe the PCB's are different so no?

[sour sky]

i have both, and i really really like the 60hev2, especially the split spacebar variant, it really makes up for the lack in keys

but performance wise, its about the same, so choose whichever fits your needs

the 60he is also more moddable i suppose

[whole oak]

You make a permanent choice between the two. You cannot convert one into the other.

[twin rain]

yeah split spacebar seems to be super popular! i was thinking tkl for some games that use the fn row but then someone pointed out i can probably make a per-game profile in wootility

[sour sky]

wootility is so good nothing on the market is even close, the way you can use the thumb buttons with extra layers and a ton of bindings so easily, i never find myself needing more keys, dont even have the move my hand to press new keys, i got like two layers accessible by thumb

[twin rain]

and it's on web so i can use it on linux which is super appreciated that wooting thought of linux users

[sour sky]

i think they have an appimage too aswell, im on linux too i just added it to my start menu as a web app, works great

[twin rain]

sounds like the only downside is the wait till mid march for a split, but thats ok-- i've waited this long for a kb, what's another cpl months 😎

[sour sky]

its worth it, wont ever need a new keyboard again

[icy gull]

thought guys

[slim mural]

I also have a really cool idea that can really shake up the market for split spacebar users

i shared it in #1452219819716776077

tldr, you assign a key like F13 which by default doean't do anything, and it will output a unicode of your choice. they act like 2 different keybinds (spacebar/F13) when gaming or in software, but when typing in a textbox, they both output the unicode U+0020 (space)

needs to be compatible with Rappy Snappy and Snappy Tappy

[manic lichen]

Finallyyyyy

[severe cobalt]

random question, but would changing stabilizers from stock wooting v2 change anything in terms of how clear the big keys will sound? i think they sound fine but if i wanted to change them i was wondering if theres any audible impact besides finding ones that look a bit nicer

[slim mural]

likely

[timber nimbus]

if no rattle just be aware there’s a chance you make it worse

my rule with stabs is if yours are good then don’t touch them because half the reports are from people who messed up changing stabs and now have worse sounding rattle than they started with

Only mod your stabs if they actually rattle

[grim glen]

no forum post smh

wooting forum when

[lunar minnow]

@timber nimbus i visited one of those stores that had floors dedicated to stuff and there were a lot of camers and lens

tho im only interested in model cars and didnt look so i dont know the prices

[timber nimbus]

It’s important you gaze longingly at the Sony section to build good vibes towards your future

[hoary trout]

[smoky shadow]

Just got the last thing to my wooting

[slim mural]

whats up wooting gang

[potent moon]

Finally got it

[untold imp]

I'm jealous, mine still on pick and pack

[rare karma]

Sounds like you’ve just saved yourself from another expensive hobby. Ignorance is a bliss 😌

Although model cars these days can be very expensive too. The last time I checked they had limited edition and special license from manufacturers, teams and tuners.

[fickle tusk]

Is it possible to tape mode your prebuilt 60HEv2? If so then how?

[spring stirrup]

60HE v2 comes with the tape mod

[fickle tusk]

oh, im dumb lmfao

[slim mural]

soon!

[calm ginkgo]

You can always add more tape. how much it will do, who knows...

[untold imp]

It shipped out the moment you said that

[twin rain]

good bc i got it >:)

[slim mural]

I am the definition of good luck, or maybe i might have pulled some strings

60HE v2? Which color and layout?

[untold imp]

Yeah 60HE v2. Black, ANSI Split

[slim mural]

Hope you like it

[vital dune]

getting both colors as well as a finalmouse is insane 😭

huge flex but also so unnecessary (I mean getting both colors, finalmouse is goated)

[slim mural]

kinda but while I like the stealthy appearance any how well the black one fits in almost any setup, the silver one looks stunning when RGB shines through.

Also Idrc too much abt finalmouse or the ULXs much, but praise where due is their firmware and software is effective and responsive. I love what they are doing with their falcon modules. I have a ULX but zeromouse blade is just miles better imho

I use my pathfinder for general desktop and casual gaming

FPS and serious aiming is where I use the blade

[true cobalt]

my wooting 60hev2 just arrived

[lost ravine]

Hey guys, apologies if this has already been asked/answered - I have the split spacebar but I'm unable to bind my centre key - in Wootility, I can see that it's Fn 1 by default... do I need to do something in particular in order to be able to bind this key within games? (currently pressing the key isn't registering when I try to bind it to something within game)

[timber nimbus]

inside wootility you want to rebind it to whatever key you want it to represent

for example, if you use f9 as your new melee key, then in wootility change it to f9, then in game bind melee to f9

your split keys basically can be any other key on your keyboard

[lost ravine]

ahh beautiful, makes perfect sense, thank you! ❤️

[tropic trout]

i just got my 60he v2

goated

[fossil olive]

Question: Module & silver case arrived, but with a stock black and yellow cable. I assume this is correct and only the pre-built get the white and yellow cable?

[whole oak]

Yes unfortunately.

[fossil olive]

Gotcha. Thank you for the quick reply!

[tropic relic]

Design files when?

[strange fable]

a

[tropic relic]

The 60HE v2’s case is listed as compatible for the v1, but isn’t the conductive sponge location hazardous for the v1?

Potentially hazardous. It’d either have absolutely no effect or hit the LEDs and cause a short for the v1. 🥴

and how would you even ground it, considering the lack of standoffs?

🤔

[gaunt nexus]

zeromouse?

[slim mural]

zeromouse blade, yes

[gaunt nexus]

so nice i was thinking about getting one but obviously its sold out haha

[slim mural]

aw
