Cause once you start looking at how asymmetrical 75 is it lost all the charm
And having a 2x2 set is much nicer imo
I guess you like ortholonear
Is the owlab case worth 399? What is in it that is worth that much
Uranium
Boutiqueness
Jk it’s just a designer product
Yes
Same design language as the Vento80 btw
They are gucci x wooting collab
Hmmm
same concept
More like pagani
but the design is just a wooting's plastic case
But Pagani has features worth the price…. From the sounds of it this is just overpriced for a name
😭
maserati then
My ow60's prolly gonna be waiting a little bit for the new 60HE
I can try retrofitting it with my Alps pcb tho
I mean will I end up paying more than the product in repairs?
Then yes

mine is still on hold
Same, though I placed the order like... 30m ago
What features
what other switches do i put in the cart to try
how? Shouldnt the purchase link have expired
Outemu Cipo prolly
Idk. Engine 😭
you get like 48 hours once you’ve won
remove sticky rice switches
interesting name
i wanna try them i like longer switches and they are 3.7mm as i read
but what would i replace them with if i did remove them
tell me
They prolly redistributed lots today that expired initially
Speed. Look. Transmission. I’m sure other things they do extremely well compared to others
Got a mail a few hours ago :)
ur ice ultra
oh so you’ve won today
Yep!
I was kinda just wondering if the owlab case had anything exciting to it other than a design. Like I say the floating kind of thing it does? What is that good for just typing?
this ?
for typing feel
14 pln is like 3 bucks i wont be removing the sticky rice
Looks interesting
There are pro and ultra versions, you need ultra
yeah i got the ultra
sticky rices are outdated and wobbly mess
any other recommendations you got
Wait for tikken
Mercedes amg engine is a feature?
No, if you want to try switches, try poms,owlabs and ice ultras for now and wait for tikkens. They are promising.
aight sounds about right
I mean people do regard it as a good engine lol
Polish detected
yes
Wooting TTC poms are my goat as of recently
Polska gurom as per usual
there are two colored versions
the light one and red one
pull up[
The red one is not from wooting
if they were in 10 or 20 piece packs id buy immediately
but unfortunately no
😩
Ah ok
Just curious why only 10-20?
i dont know what switch i will like yet
i dont even know if i will end up prefering lekkers for some reason
just get regular poms from aliexpress
So fr
just a weight difference
hey! is there a specific trick to help reduce the loud clack of the magnet in the stem hitting a closed bottom switch? am i able to just put a bit of lube over the magnet itself without causing problems like sticking or detection issues?
edge
People really mad over the new split spacebar 😭
Xd
My keyboard can be like my relationship.... split 💀
I would say the same but requires a relationship to split in the first place


I’m prefer normal spacebar, and to be honest, I would’ve bought the 60HE v2 if there were a layout that supported a 7u spacebar.
But not today
I would’ve loved a 7U too
But the split looks super cool
Especially since I legit only use the left side of my space bar
Split 7U in the future

Why do you want 7u?
Tsangan?
More symmetrical
I’m assuming
And some people more used to that layout
Yeah that’s understandable
I had the chance to try out the Venom with a 7u spacebar — the feeling is really unique, and it actually seems more comfortable, like it’s the way it was meant to be.
Guys big drama in 60he channel
The new one or the old one
HAHAHHA
that's the best feeling
Bigger than in Poland tbh
I’m talking about 7U 😭😭
Oh
and split backspace, then put the backspace on \ and \ on the backspace
Oh I see what you mean
as a 7u user I was upset that there is no 7u, but the fact that you cant switch between split and normal spacebar on 60he v2 killed me
i need more switch recommendations
like split into 2 not 3
got ttc poms ur ice magnetic and owlabs
um sorry i m new so if i dont like the sound from my woohting 60 he switches can i take what i want and the featers are theare
I mean
TECHNICALLY
take out the middle switch
Boom
Makeshift
Ez
Yeah kind of a dud for me personally. But I’m happy they’re moving to 8k and new Wooting customers get a better product.
check out pinned
Just use it as a normal spacebar 
I know. im coping for the people freaking out
I actually love the idea of split
I’m def gonna get it
but benom or rakka h60 that is multi layout support
For real, I thought it would just be one board with a bunch of cutouts for different layout options.
if u want 7u
Venom I thought about but no real advantage over wooting now.
Other than 7U
But I’d rather have split than 7U
and oring
don't forget
nah, oring is nice to use imo..
rather than normal tray
i want to try the friction fit tho
if it's similar, i might buy the 60he v2 over than the oring benom
It’s so nice. I got it as soon as it was out
Makes life easy
V2 has updated friction fit too by the looks of it
Just get both and end up with 5 HE keyboards like me 
nah man, i prefer 1 he and more mx
i have 1 he & 5 mx currently
I’m trying 😭😭 I already work 40 hours
What else am I supposed to do
I mean I could do OF
don't pay tax
Become a stripper
(jk)
Do you have the pcb grounded in ur tofu60
Great minds think alike
Like all the way down?
Maybe we collab 🤣
I’m scared of women.
Yeah in the Friction Pad Video they say you should use one screw to make sure the pcb is grounded
OnlyFeet
almost halfway here
Do you use a Screw or have it just in ur tofu60
i will probably get 60he v2 and then itll be 3
Gotta get a manicure
tho i might give the venom to someone at that point
Oh yeah. I use one or maybe 2 don’t remember
I think 2
I’m weird tho
You only need 1
Yeah my spare keyboards usually end up going to friends/family eventually
you still have the friction pad bonus?
Yessir
i have friction pad, but use the optimum case so its grounded by the "sponge"
Yeah
FFP is a must
maybe i can hybrid mount the 60he v2 in my salvation
Not gonna lie

Do we know which Type of „Sponge“ they use so i can just use it in the Tofu60 instead the Screw
i would like to know the typing angle of the case
If I had to guess without knowing probably the exact same as the original 60he
does anyone know which case this is, saw it on twitter
Alumaze60

ty
we got a new #🤩│wooting60hev2 channel if you wanna discuss the new kb 
People a little heated in there 
Were*
any1 here have tried the friction fit and oring at the same time with different keeb?
how much diff does it feel?
hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask but do any of you know if the wooting x ttc kom rgb switches are the same as the ttc rgb magneto switches?
thats what they do in the optimum case
yes
but different spring weight
wootings version is heavier
different keeb man,
example is optimum and leggera G
or such
ahh i see
any benefit towards the springs being heavier? I read that it just gives a better bounce or reaction (?)
i could be wrong, ive been up hyperfixiated over this but still no answer 😭
Most find heavier springs to be more consistent and better for typing/gaming
faster rebound, more stable feeling for RT, but it can also be subjective
all i need to go down for choosing my end pcb is the oring mount vs friction fit only
gotcha, this is genuinely so helpful, thank you guys :')
But at the end of the day it's personal preference what spring weight you prefer, personally I like 1kg springs so when I bottom out my keys the keycap goes flying 
That's the alumaze it's on the wooting store
btw, those ttc switches need to be hand lubed
otherwise they sound very plasticky
so real
Interesting reddit post.
https://www.reddit.com/r/WootingKB/s/QnqjdV08i5
cant believe i missed that lol, i like it, it may match my new keycaps quite well
thats what ive been thinking about, not sure whether i would want to lube them up pre build or just slap them onto the module
cooked

crossing our fingers 😭
Well it is not mine
he didnt leave a whole lot to work with
they'll figure it out
lol that's the classic. There's always people who try to sell before it even ships and get caught
So guy lost his ow60
but people can sell it after they receive the product?
Yes definitely preference. I for one dislike heavy springs because they feel slow and sluggish to me
Just get owlab ti's honestly
we have a lot of things we can track/check, was only one who fit that criteria ^
well yeah nothing wooting can do to stop that, but they'll try stop the ones who do it before if they silly like this guy
ah nice 🕵️ rofl
i see.. wish i had a few of these switches to know what you mean. Guess that just means i gotta buy em lmao
oo i havent thought about these ones, ive just been thinking about what's available on the site
Well i hope so i get chance to buy ow60 for new 60he v2 module. 
rip having to wait for Q4 for that though 😔
Get owlabs from other site, they are cheaper and very good.
I highly recommend picking up a few 10 packs before committing to one switch. Can't really go wrong with RAWs tho
where would you recommend getting some? Looking at unikeyboards rn
i like that the guy went full defensive mode too with the 'lil bro' comment afterwards
There are owlabs, no point in getting raws over them
true! Wish i had that switch test board
Haven't been keeping up are owlabs better?
love being able to test out switches but.. money and money constraints exist 😭
Improved tolerances, completely closed bottom, cleaner sound
and without weird top sticking
Also won't get locked into your plate when you try to remove them^
@humble coral This you
prob anxiously f5ing his inbox now hoping the cancellation mail doesnt roll in lol
I actually prefer partially closed it gives a unique sound
LOL

Yeah thought it was him
Send me his ID ASAP
Just thrown it across the country already please😭
Yes, this is what I need
My wooting is dying to have my artisan as a keyb mat again
Out of curiosity where did the name for wooting come from?
decision decisions 😭
honestly thinking about buying an 80 module right now, or should i wait for the v2..
60% best
if you want arrow keys and f row, 80he is the way to go
60% >>>>>>
its all preference
Noooooo artisans are expensive and heavy things can damage them. I'd just get a separate cheap mat with a design and put your artisan on that
nah you both are right, i love the 60% and 80%
i was thinking the 80 would be my work board
Coin toss 🤣
i prefer having dedicated arrow keys and f row but if you dont play games that use them/dont use software that uses them then it might not matter to you
while ofc the 60 would be my game board lmfao
I LOVE GAMBLING
Not much of a point getting wooting for work honestly 😂
i game and work with my 80he
I used it for a keyboard mat tons already and it's fine, once I get my Raiden I'll literally never touch my zero xsoft again so it's becoming a dedicated keyboard mat
i also have a venom60 board that i use when travelling
I'd get a carry case and the 80he so you can just take it back and forth
80he and owlab ti's 👀
Xsoft artisan makes an incredibly nice keyboard mat, very soft on the wrist too
nice thing about using a 60% on a laptop
60he v2 with owlabs >>>
you can still get f row and arrow keys from the laptop keyboard
now that sounds like a killer right there

Get both 
rawhuks on top
atp might aswell 😭
make your shit expensive and impractical and only marginally better if you can even tell the difference
I mean your choice but I find it causes sink in and a less resistant feel
only reason why im debating is that tariffs are gonna mess with so much of the prices
will you lose out on anything the 60he v2 added with its materials or? in that specific combination
I pray the stability is on par with Ti HEs
thats the benefit, knowing the differences yourself >:) (i am in shambles of my own choices)
just take a trip to canada and return with a keyboard that you obviously had the entire time and it is your personal belonging that you had before obviously
Most advantages the v2 has is just sound and feel which can pretty easily be added to the normal 60he+

Except 8khz which is honestly a meme
yea
"i swear officer it just appeared in my bag!"
Yeah, v2 sound/feel will be superior to previous model and maybe even better than 80he
I have it on my mouse but don't use it because I lose like 20% fps
funny enough thats the plan LMFOA
i mean look
looks like im going to canada!
if you dont have original packaging with you or anything
how can they prove its not new

big brain
If your going to Toronto hit the CN tower I had the best pasta of my life there
great advice for keyboard and food, loving this discord already lmfao
oh and one more thing you could then do
fill it with pasta
standoff for plate & pcb v2 most likely on plate right?
send yourself a package that is filled with canadian snacks or some shit
double boxed, the inside box is somehow a wooting packaging box
"i was just reusing what i had laying around!!"
already planned out bringing home a pet moose and a flag of the prime minister
of course uh
what if the border officer is also a keyb enthusiast and they take away the keyb 😩
you already had it and only brought it to canada to ensure your ketchup chips or whatever would arrive in good condition
or something
this ^
this might work
youre cooking wizard. that brain of yours is in the works
lol
i should be doing the same but now im using the remaining funds on a new keyboard
looks like im going for an 80he with owl or ttc
huge
here we go
i should order from wooting soonish
need to get a 80he travel case
if i want to take mine to gamescom later this year
yeah it seems that they are 2 different pcbs
yeah
unsure why that wasnt possible but oh well
innovation!
Two different PCBs. The switches wouldn't line up.
alright heres the plan, 80he w/ ttc (owls coming in later) -> artisan -> 60v2 (if tariffs dont kill the us market off)
Both would be pretty huge upgrades for 80HE + TTC/owl or new artisan pad from normal cloth pad 👀
toilet paper is all you need bro
😭😭😭😭
just get a glass instead of clothpad
ive been needing so many upgrades
finally actually having dinero for myself is crazy
i was looking into glass but i cant let go of a cloth mousepad
you tried glass before?
Nah, it’s not even comparable experiences. Should start with nice cloth first and transition if they’re interested
yeah, ive been so used to cloth that when i tried it i couldnt get used to it
^^^
maybe i should give glass a chance
or a chance again
Fair enough, it took me def some time to get used to it
But i would never go back to cloth
glsswrks is releasing new pad soon. Polarity
it is possible, it’s a skill issue.
yeah, trust me i love the idea of a glass MP but i cant let go of a nice cloth mousepad
It’s worth trying at some point, but requires different skates and a sleeve, but both are really nice if you wanna try it
It is VERY smooth tho
oh absolutely
Sypu def dont need a sleeve tho, been rocking without all the time no problems
depends on the pad prob
unlucky
but i need no sleeve on my sp004
skill, not luck. 👹
kazemi has less issues with sticking than sp004 so that doesnt make sense
ive been meaning to get some new pads aswell for my superlight v2 pro
i need MONEY
AAAAUGH
i mean it could be possible to somehow mod the split to be a full spacebar but i dont think itll be officially supported at all
wdym
and getting keycaps may be difficult
How is your arm not sticking? even in summer?
i never stick on my sp-004
Kind of boring
Get glass with a hot anime chick on it
I dont know i dont sweat that much, its always cold in my room
switching to glass mousepads.
Im stuck with artisan
Glass wont work with my sweat
no fr its the same for me, love the artisan, just need a bigger one
certified sweaty
Do you have your whole hand on glasspad or only wrist?
but.. anime women...
Cant wear a sleeve lol
anime women on mousepad..
Even my arm is on my pad sometimes
i just glide
no i dont use baby oil on my arm
this guy baby oils
nah im playin but ill keep that in mind bands!
i do want to try more options on mousepads when i can get the funding
one day 😭
Just try it when you can, it took me like 2-4 weeks tho
Basically just a 8khz with friction mount and fr4 plate 60he not TMR
?
but im on peak aim rn
In my experience the sink it goes away after like 5m, even after having my 60he on it for 2 months
Just get raiden first, it will make transition to glasspad easier since its very smooth and fast
man the raiden was so good at the beginning
And the only slowness I've experienced is from me spilling vodka on it constantly 
yep,
i might stick to venom 60he for the 7u
funny enough my friend gave me their ninja fx mousepad for a lil bday gift
Cant wait for my Raiden to arrive
split right shift & split backspace
I was thinking about getting the new glsswrk pad, but im not sure if the difference to sp-004 is worth it
Probably not
I mean i cannot even imagine there a like BIG differences on glasspads (between wallhack, glsswrk, padsmith)
weren’t you going to advertise wooting no matter what
new glsswrks polarity is smoother and faster than sp004
Prob there are but i cannot imagine it
i kinda want that anime purple one tho
ah that
is it same?
ye, on my 80he & 60he+
_>
no
Anime pads 😭 😭 😭
I mean i like the purple color
Blank pads >>>>> weeb pads
its my fav color so
40 or 50 grams on the Owlab Ti switches
soon ™️
@calm pulsar don’t worry, i keep my words
GOODNESS
I went with 50g
72g initial force
oh maN
50 is safer option
shf, do you heared something about how the new purple pad will be?
I can hear my finger joints crunching 🥀
we dont know anything about that pad, i only know that its not polarity surface
I wanted to buy Hana for u but you didnt want to
ight
do you have 300$ for it?
dm me
😃 👍
Lol
Someone told me yesterday the guardian is the fastest and smoothest glass pad
wait i just realized
how big is the 80 compared to the 60? It shouldnt even be a huge change no?
i got a small desk sadly..
its faster than hana/kazemi but not as smooth
he was like 100% sure about that the guardian is better than sp-004
Probably adds like 2 inches on the right side an an inch-inch and a half on top
At least
hana is the smoothest glasspad, the surface is so clear that some mouse sensors have issues with it
and you have to set 2mm lod to fix that
Ah i see
oh then this choice is a no brainer
🥶
thank you guys, will be getting an 80 🫶
...unless my indecisiveness gets to me first at checkout..
that orange raiden next to kazemi is so eye catching LOL
Using a cheese grater as ear rings. That's a whole new level of weird.

Cheese grater mouse clears
Yeah it’s jarring
he is not only a clack maxxer hes also a goon maxxer
Even though I haven't used mine in a couple weeks lol
cheese grater mouse clears
you call me OLD?
I said what I said, and didn’t stutter
I feel like y-y-you did
But you didn’t remember our previous conversation
🤣🤣
Yeah you have that earhurting ahh keyboard
nice dongle 🤣
@tawdry tree found you a new friend
aligner is my goat
Bands will love those tikken switches huh
Deaf squad 5 crew ahh shii
he understands me
silence my beloved
If you want silence just go deaf actually
Never hear a thing fire
jarvis send switchydead emote to this guy
i need to hear an actual soundtest but they kinda sounded like raws icl
i might be stupid
so I should go with poms to go deaf, like you?
same same but different?
It was very rough soundtest but they wont sound like raws because of 4mm travel distance
POM aren’t even close to flux loudness lmao
🐐
and closed bottom
lmao switch beef
yeah need to wait but thock sounds good hehe
wouldnt the pet film on the pcb interfere with the switchs actuation point in the 60he v2
finally
Can’t even talk to me like that when we’re waiting for rakka pcb 🥀
How could you
Probably no, because they include it
How could you CLACK MAX
🤓 ☝️
Bro even said I wasted my time when he’s waiting for thock
pet is not soft
Lmao
the pet film is so thin that it doesnt make performance worse, just changes the sound a bit
No you wasted ur time to send the Soundtest cause shf said you gonna waste ur time
and oh old men he was right
Don’t ask for what you’re not ready for
build 80he with cf plate and fluxes and send bands a soundtest
potential heart attack
It’s just clackier not exactly louder
exactly
tohck
tohck
The funny thing is, back in the day i enjoyed the razer blackwidow..my parents hate on me still
IT WAS SO LOUD
Trauma learned behavior I see
No wonder
childhood trauma
The one thing you’ll never find me on is clicky
I seem to be the only one interested about sensor improvement, where tf all my placebo maxxers at 
THOCKY
Do you guys think the aluminum case and the new swtches will be sold seperately? Cause I would love to upgrade and save by not buying the whole new board
I cannot to anything you’re right
The Switches def i dont know about the Case
Probably will for both but you’ll need to wait for Q4 to see
80HE has cases separately so can’t imagine you won’t for this
The new aluminum case is both screw in and friction fit right?
Both options
Isnt screw in better so the module just feels more secure? At least my opinion
From the sound test I remember from optimum case I ended up liking screw in more personally
you prob need to find out by yourself what you like more
but dont listen to people about clacky switches, they lie to you
I think the case allows for both cause thats what it looked like in the reveal trailer
what ab clacky switches? The new ones are definitely not clacky tho
Clacky is like high pitch
Im just jokinh
You can either use friction fit or just normal tray mount
Normal tray mount just means screw in right?
Yeah i know but what you prefer more (tray or friction) you need to figure out
Wdym by sound better?
Some People like Friction more sone like Tray more
Whats the difference in sound?
I mean also if you use Alu Plate, PC Plate all personal pref
Do the plates really make a huge sound difference?
yup
60HE+ is PC plate right
Alu
Alu and Foam
On the new 60HE v2 I believe they’re using FR4 plate
you can order pc switch plate and silicon pad
But alu case
yes
The 60he+ has Alu
What Sound do you like
I think I like clacky
Does Wooting sell the Jade Pro and Max Switches? I am looking at getting the best switches I can for the 80HE.
high pitch over low pitch
not on their website i dont believe
just the OG Jade
Ask Varedis about clacky im out of that conversation
lol ok
no i dont know what to use for clacky thats why
Ur good
Wooting really is the most consumer friendly hall effect keyboard company HANDS DOWN
He or shf def knows what you should get
46 seconds · Clipped by shf · Original video "Special Reveal Livestream 😍🆕" by Wooting
You're never truly going to know whether you like a mod or not unless you try it out
yes
There is no theory
You cant say oh I like this cause you have to try it first before you can make any call
Even which Plate with which Foam you like
Everything
Yes
Of course
You need to see it yourself
Friction fit pad just makes the sound/feel softer
Owlab ti he will be better than the Jade series, or if you want max stability get TTC Pom on Wooting site
- its good for modding, you just pull the pcb with that plastic tool and you can mod it right away
Ws dash is OG jade recolor
Very old compared to current lineup
Over time the variety of HE switches will be pretty vast
Yeah but is there a switch sound like ws dash atm
Jade rubies 
ah yeah still those
I still dont understand why they cant theoretically make a tactile HE switch
I dont see how thats not possible
I mean it’s literally same as OG jades
Would you say they clacky
Maybe Gateron luminaries 🥶
I use the OG jades but im not sure I love the blunt like 3.5mm or whatever it is
than i might be a soft clack enjoyer
based on sound test they are deeper than most current he switches and they have very good factory lube
yeah i like it deep clacky but thats not thock right
Man the Sound Spectrum is crazy where is the triangle again
So the Wooting TTC KOM - POM Switch is better than the Jade Max's?
yeah it's basically deeper clack
Anything is better than jade max
Really? I heard Jade Switches were a go to for quality
Jade maxes have been pretty bad since their launch due to friction issues of using all PC parts and dual rail
Not maxes
They are the opposite of quality
They’re also 8 months old
they were once upon a time but switch game moves fast
If you want best current non box stem switch go owlab ti hes, if you want box stem (has more stability, less wobble) got TTC Pom
But what are Raw Hes in Sound Profile? Also Deep Clack? They def Clack less than my Dashes
Raws are not deep clack at all
tl;dr - almost everything in he land is clack
just different pitches of clack
so then if i'm trying to get the best switches for my Wooting 80HE what would that be? I currently rock a Razer Huntsman v2 keyboard.
Wait for Tikkens👀
Lekker tikken

they didn't say when tikkens might be available to buy right?
unfortunate nah
Closer to 60hev2 release
most likely same as 60he v2
Where do you go to buy the OwlLab switches? They don't seem to have a website.
depends on region
When is next batch for ow60? Monday?
are you EU, NA?
NA
50G or 40G?
milktooth has them too
50 is safer, 40 might be too light
Milktooth
forgot which day is it
can you edit this away from being japanese link?
They’re based in CA I believe but they’re great if they have your switch available
is the v2 gonna be bluetooth compatible, completely forgot to mention
i dont want to re-pin a new message
Max is min/maxxing the weeb buyers, let him cook
ah its day 9
a smart marketer for sure
No
rip
Done
wireless kills the point of hall effect
it will increase the latency + youll need to charge it very often, because hall effect sensors require a lot of power
ahh i see
you really don't want wireless for a performance keyboard honestly
wasn't the original 60 bluetooth accesible? or do i need sleep 🧍♂️
No
guess i need sleep
did they throw in more foam in the v2 ?
OR MORE COFFEE
i use wireless for my work keyboard and it's fine for work, but sometimes the pickup has hiccups and a key might lag
that would suck for gaming
ahh
right right
prolly your own saved settings in that case
just had to double check, i did a 180 double checking what the v2 had compared to the original
or well, whatever was announced earlier
Max, do you know when will we able to see 60he v2 cases on the website?
Any1 has any Cons for Split Spacebar?
Bruh why no 7u 😦
Except time to get used to it?
do you press space with your right or left thumb?
normally, when typing
both depends on the flow i have when im typing
the right spacebar is not aligned properly for typing so it’ll be uncomfortable to press
@solar tundra Pretty sure 60HE+ uses steel plate
but i mostly play games so left
i mainly press the right half of the spacebar 
Yeah thats what im thinking too tho
quite a few do
Even if i have 2 Spacebars tho and 1 key in the middle
i can put something useful on that key
not sure how easy it’ll be to reach tho
my left space is slightly smaller so it’s easy
but 0.5u can be the difference between reaching and just pressing
if you ever use your right thumb for space, I def would not get woot’s split space
it’s nice to have, but not nice to be not optional.
i rly hoped you can just pull out 2 switches and you have 1 spacebar again
you can’t
maybe its working tho
im honestly excited for the double space bar, i use both thumbs to space so ill be happy to finally use my thumbs at their full capacity of space clicking
ah nah its not
the switch doesn’t align
surely. 🥲
It isn't so terrible in terms of battery drain. I did some power measurements on the 80HE, and with LEDs off it pulls around 130mA. If you toss a 4000mAh battery in there that's around 30h active on time. The Q1 HE we have has that size battery, and it needs charging about once a week.
it’s not bad, nor is wireless slower
Perf 🤷 yeah gonna have latency w/out wires for sure
shf stop yapping sir
wait so the wooting60 + 80 have bluetooth power??
wireless isn’t slower
just more susceptible to interference
which can be bad obv
but no different to wireless mice
aligner just typed, i type weird but i mostly use the right site of space tho
oh ok
Sure, I'm just not gonna get into a perf argument w/ folks on here. Some of y'all are bananas about it.
man i do need sleep LOL
so you would you if you use right site of space dont get the split spacebar?
0.0000002636ms wireless when??
Power draw tests if you're curious: #🌟│wooting80he message
but i mean its 1 more key in the middle so in the end its 1 more key and 8k polling
i dont even use my thumbs when i type lol
the annoying thing for me would be my thumb sometimes presses close to middle of spacebar
2 more keys 🤓
so it would not be happy with the split bar at times, but then again i'm not really a 60% user usually anyway so no big deal
to me, yeah but many type like that haha
i mean yeah but i use left space for gaming and right for typing
man wtf
Split Spacebar Meta
everyone has their own way of typing
yeah
Taiko no Tatsujin my beloved
i never learned the 10 finger type way
Yes, not using thumbs for spacebar is wackadoo, but you do you baby boo
as long as you don’t break your wrists while doing so, it’s fine
Sure I ain't judging
do you just baby me
Though if you don't use RShift we have a problem
gulp.
Whats the new best keyboard available?
i never used rshift in my life
Q4
i think wooting should show a wireless prototype just for all the complainers to see why its a bad idea
Is it not the venom anymore?
it’s not a bad idea, it has already been done as well
Did we get any info on whether we could mod a 6.25u spacebar onto the split SKU?
I use my left pinky for l shift and right index for spacebar and then i just press keys and its working
also still dont see the appeal with wireless on keyboard, who is moving that shit around so often that you need it wireless
it’s just not as long lasting as a mech board
Cannot.
Or vice versa
You tried it?
the switch isn’t in the middle
Can you make a 7u for the enthuasists?
Just cut the spacebar man
😭
ok, since ive decided to get the HE owls at a later date, do you guys think the wooting x ttc rgb switches are a valid choice?
because it's gaming focused
I agree
and 7U would actually be decent as a separate SKU
7u for 80he refresh
Thank you for the info 🥀

7u is more popular in custom keyboard land, but split spacebar has more gaming applications
it’s niche, more niche than 7U would be
yeah i'm not saying it's not also niche
i'm saying why they probably picked split spacebar
so crazy
Tf would split space bar do unless you’re using it as a larger alt walk
7u doesn't really have much gaming application
split spacebar gives you an extra key to press in games
it's not really complicated
because wooting is a gaming keyboard brand, not focusing on custom community
yeah
if you have long fingers even 2 more keys
that's why geon released 7u because they're focusing on custom keyboard community
What are like the best switches in terms of stability and feel out there currently?
I was thinking of getting geon raws but wanted to ask if there’s anything else to consider over them?
focus doesn’t really matter, 7U can be used for gaming as can 6.25
no difference there
it's taking ideas and things from the custom community but it doesn't mean it's using them all - they're still clearly trying to slowly put in things that are gaming focused
wouldn't the comparison be 7u vs split spacebar, not 7u vs 6.25u
non optional split space is just way more niche than 7U ever was
7U vs 6.25U for gaming
no one disagrees with you aligner. We're just saying that the reason they picked the more niche option is that it's better for gaming
they have to make more keycaps
no one is talking 6.25u vs 7u
they already have keycaps 🥲
if they make a 7u,
they need to make more keycaps for bottom row keys
they already have all the keys.
for 7U and for split space
all included in their keycap set
their molds
i don't know who or what you're arguing against
no one here is disagreeing with you on 7u vs 6.25u
really?
Petition to make 7u wooting and not split space bar
i’m not arguing against anything brotherman
Perhaps 6.25u and 7u are too close, hard to compatible with HE board?
Venom 6.25 & 7u was the example
just knew that
yeah
Man aligner just wants 7u
never
I just wanted arrow keys T_T
but why you saying they should make 7u instead of split
It's the best so not shocked he wants it.
Huh, guess I’ll look into the owlab ones.
Silent ones would be cool but if they’re much worse in stability I’ll rather get something else
cause split is way more niche, so it doesn’t make sense from a business perspective.
I dont even know the difference between 6.25 and 7 is it just the size?
i think you're missing the business perspective
if it were optional, that wouldn’t be the case
it's not about niche vs not niche
It makes way more sense
it's about gaming focus vs not gaming focus change
Much more even layout
yeah, the width
calder thinks the split spacebar has gaming applications and so they put it in, that's the reason for it
i think the most huge controversy is the split spacebar and normal spacebar not on 1 pcb
it's not about niche-ness
i agree, there is def a way you can implement it
yeah thats just insane how that happened
Wait it two diffrent pcbs?
that’s the most ridiculous part
yeah i do think that part is a bit of a shame because less folks will try out split spacebar with it being 2 pcb
yes
fumble of the century
without rgb = possible
with rgb they need to mod some things
to make it work
Thats definetly huge wooting L
no
sensor conflicts with mounting pin hole of the switch, that’s why they didn’t do it.
rakka did it without rgb
rakka h60
it's possible
not impossible
rakka did it because they think outside of the box and aren’t self constrained like woot is. rakka is niche squared
but with rgb, it's kinda impossible
they get away with having users cut the mounting pins of switches
woot doesn’t want to do that
LEDs do not affect it, at all.
i mean, i'd probably just go with the actual reason that simon said instead of making up reasons lol
that is?
^
surely plates can be adapted to both
i'm not sure what that has to do with thinking outside the box
Having people cut their switches is pretty out of box
At least for mainstream
there are only so many ways to support split space like woot’s on a single PCB
cutting pins is one of em
Hemu’s approach is another
with just the switch holes where you can install the switch and stabs yourself
not something woot wanted to do.
It would be def better having 1 PCB where you can choose between normal Spacebar or Split Spacebar. Gaming wise a Split Spacebar makes def sense but spending that much Money just to try and be disappointed is what makes me think twice about getting one
yeah that's the issue i think, is that a lot of people won't risk it on split spacebar
also people gonna be returning it most likely
just doesn’t make any sense imo
i'll probably grab a split pcb just because it's not my main board, but if it was my main board and only board I wouldn't be picking the split option
exactly, yeah
i think its a shame that still no split backspace or split right shift
But i dont know much time it will take you rly getting used to split spacebar
it’s no way to introduce split space to those who haven’t tried it.
this isn't going to be the new 'arrow key' crusade is it? Otherwise fleimi might be readding you to the list lol
if you press space within the area of the split space, really quickly.
i wonder how many % of sales will be split
although i guess you don't have the other guy who was always arguing about it back then
what was the result of that?
oh god it is.
😂
i dont know i feel like they def shouldve tried and give it more time to have it available on one pcb but i dont know the state or what you would needed to do
Propably 90% ansi iso rest split spacebar
0.1 😭
the annoying thing is i don't usually buy sets with extension kit
how much is the 60he v2 going to cost
so i'd need a new keycap set for split too
Where are you from
