how come?

peak breach
#

Cause once you start looking at how asymmetrical 75 is it lost all the charm

#

And having a 2x2 set is much nicer imo

kindred lagoon
#

I guess you like ortholonear

sullen salmon
#

I'm a fan of 75s design idk

#

it has hella charm to me

prime orbit
#

Is the owlab case worth 399? What is in it that is worth that much

peak breach
#

Uranium

peak breach
prime orbit
#

lol

peak breach

Yes

kindred lagoon
#

Same design language as the Vento80 btw

peak breach
#

They are gucci x wooting collab

trail bane
#

Hmmm

ionic breach

but the design is just a wooting's plastic case

My ow60's prolly gonna be waiting a little bit for the new 60HE

I can try retrofitting it with my Alps pcb tho

Yep!

prime orbit

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?

yep

but unfortunately no

😩

prime orbit

Just curious why only 10-20?

high lion
#

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

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?

high lion

these

right

Only difference is weight

these two versions

dont have weight difference though

am i missing shi

prime orbit
marble sierra
trail bane
#

But not today

prime orbit
#

But the split looks super cool

#

Especially since I legit only use the left side of my space bar

#

Split 7U in the future

prime orbit
#

I’m assuming

#

And some people more used to that layout

peak breach
#

Yeah that’s understandable

trail bane
# peak breach Why do you want 7u?

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.

tidal frigate

Guys big drama in 60he channel

that's the best feeling

Oh

untold wigeon

and split backspace, then put the backspace on \ and \ on the backspace

prime orbit

Ik the new split ain’t symmetrical

I would love a split 7U tho

#

One can dream

marble sierra

Oh I see what you mean

I could’ve done that for my current one

Not needed

untold wigeon
#

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 benomdogekek

prime orbit
#

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 SwitchyCool

i will probably get 60he v2 and then itll be 3

tho i might give the venom to someone at that point

I think 2

I’m weird tho

You only need 1

i have friction pad, but use the optimum case so its grounded by the "sponge"

Yeah

prime orbit

FFP is a must

maybe i can hybrid mount the 60he v2 in my salvation

prime orbit

Not gonna lie

Do we know which Type of „Sponge“ they use so i can just use it in the Tofu60 instead the Screw

little glen

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

any1 here have tried the friction fit and oring at the same time with different keeb?

#

how much diff does it feel?

halcyon jungle
#

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?

solar tundra
sacred elm
#

but different spring weight

#

wootings version is heavier

untold wigeon
#

or such

halcyon jungle
#

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 😭

sacred elm
calm pulsar
untold wigeon
#

all i need to go down for choosing my end pcb is the oring mount vs friction fit onlydogekek

halcyon jungle
#

gotcha, this is genuinely so helpful, thank you guys :')

uneven cradle
#

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 SwitchyCool

Out of curiosity where did the name for wooting come from?

halcyon jungle
#

decision decisions 😭

#

honestly thinking about buying an 80 module right now, or should i wait for the v2..

little glen
#

i love my 80he

#

pick the one you like the layout of more

little glen
#

if you want arrow keys and f row, 80he is the way to go

halcyon jungle

ooo

marsh saffron

60% >>>>>>

little glen

its all preference

cedar gate
halcyon jungle
#

nah you both are right, i love the 60% and 80%

#

i was thinking the 80 would be my work board

cedar gate
little glen
#

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

halcyon jungle
#

while ofc the 60 would be my game board lmfao

halcyon jungle
cedar gate
little glen
#

i game and work with my 80he

marsh saffron
little glen
#

i also have a venom60 board that i use when travelling

cedar gate

I'd get a carry case and the 80he so you can just take it back and forth

marsh saffron

Xsoft artisan makes an incredibly nice keyboard mat, very soft on the wrist too

nice thing about using a 60% on a laptop

will you lose out on anything the 60he v2 added with its materials or? in that specific combination

send yourself a package that is filled with canadian snacks or some shit

Isnt screw in better so the module just feels more secure? At least my opinion

depends on what feel you like more

you can order pc switch plate and silicon pad

Yes

Thats what I learned

You cant guess at it

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.

they didn't say when tikkens might be available to buy right?

unfortunate nah

Where do you go to buy the OwlLab switches? They don't seem to have a website.

tidal frigate
#

When is next batch for ow60? Monday?

sacred elm
#

are you EU, NA?

plush mauve

ah they are not on divinikey nvm

milktooth has them too

forgot which day is it

can you edit this away from being japanese link?

tropic urchin
#

They’re based in CA I believe but they’re great if they have your switch available

halcyon jungle
#

is the v2 gonna be bluetooth compatible, completely forgot to mention

fiery mauve
#

i dont want to re-pin a new message

glacial wind

Max is min/maxxing the weeb buyers, let him cook

ah its day 9

glacial wind

a smart marketer for sure

#

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

halcyon jungle
#

ahh i see

glacial wind
#

you really don't want wireless for a performance keyboard honestly

halcyon jungle
#

wasn't the original 60 bluetooth accesible? or do i need sleep 🧍‍♂️

sacred elm
#

No

halcyon jungle
#

guess i need sleep

glass comet
#

did they throw in more foam in the v2 ?

halcyon jungle
#

OR MORE COFFEE

glacial wind
#

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

fiery mauve
halcyon jungle
#

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

sacred elm
# lime yew Done

Max, do you know when will we able to see 60he v2 cases on the website?

solar tundra
#

Any1 has any Cons for Split Spacebar?

steel jasper
#

Bruh why no 7u 😦

solar tundra
#

Except time to get used to it?

tawdry tree
#

normally, when typing

solar tundra
tawdry tree
#

the right spacebar is not aligned properly for typing so it’ll be uncomfortable to press

autumn temple
#

@solar tundra Pretty sure 60HE+ uses steel plate

solar tundra
#

but i mostly play games so left

tawdry tree
#

for gaming it is useful though

#

an extra button

fiery mauve
#

i mainly press the right half of the spacebar monkaS

solar tundra
#

Yeah thats what im thinking too tho

solar tundra
#

Even if i have 2 Spacebars tho and 1 key in the middle

#

i can put something useful on that key

tawdry tree
#

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

solar tundra
#

mhm i see

#

But rn i dont see any rly cons and it might be meta

tawdry tree
#

if you ever use your right thumb for space, I def would not get woot’s split space

tawdry tree
solar tundra
#

i rly hoped you can just pull out 2 switches and you have 1 spacebar again

tawdry tree
#

you can’t

solar tundra
#

maybe its working tho

halcyon jungle
#

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

solar tundra
#

ah nah its not

tawdry tree
#

the switch doesn’t align

halcyon jungle
#

LOL

#

either that or its cope

#

alright, buying my 80 c:

cyan lark
tawdry tree
#

it’s not bad, nor is wireless slower

cyan lark
#

Perf 🤷 yeah gonna have latency w/out wires for sure

tawdry tree
#

shf stop yapping sir

cyan lark
#

But IDK how much

#

I'm not a perf maxxer

halcyon jungle
#

wait so the wooting60 + 80 have bluetooth power??

tawdry tree
#

wireless isn’t slower

#

just more susceptible to interference

#

which can be bad obv

#

but no different to wireless mice

solar tundra
#

aligner just typed, i type weird but i mostly use the right site of space tho

halcyon jungle
#

oh ok

cyan lark
#

Sure, I'm just not gonna get into a perf argument w/ folks on here. Some of y'all are bananas about it.

halcyon jungle
#

man i do need sleep LOL

solar tundra
#

so you would you if you use right site of space dont get the split spacebar?

tawdry tree
cyan lark
solar tundra
#

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

glacial wind
#

the annoying thing for me would be my thumb sometimes presses close to middle of spacebar

solar tundra
#

i use my right index finger to press space while typing

#

am i weird

glacial wind
#

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

tawdry tree
solar tundra
#

i mean yeah but i use left space for gaming and right for typing

#

man wtf

#

Split Spacebar Meta

halcyon jungle
#

^^^

#

use that split spacebar meta on rhythm games

tawdry tree
solar tundra
#

yeah

halcyon jungle
#

Taiko no Tatsujin my beloved

solar tundra
#

i never learned the 10 finger type way

cyan lark
tawdry tree
#

as long as you don’t break your wrists while doing so, it’s fine

solar tundra
#

i just have my own way of typing

#

Yeah

cyan lark
#

Sure I ain't judging

solar tundra
cyan lark
#

Though if you don't use RShift we have a problem

halcyon jungle
#

gulp.

steel jasper
#

Whats the new best keyboard available?

solar tundra
#

i never used rshift in my life

tawdry tree

i think wooting should show a wireless prototype just for all the complainers to see why its a bad idea

# tawdry tree Q4

Did we get any info on whether we could mod a 6.25u spacebar onto the split SKU?

solar tundra
#

I use my left pinky for l shift and right index for spacebar and then i just press keys and its working

little glen
#

also still dont see the appeal with wireless on keyboard, who is moving that shit around so often that you need it wireless

tawdry tree
#

it’s just not as long lasting as a mech board

solar tundra
tawdry tree
#

the switch isn’t in the middle

steel jasper
solar tundra
#

Just cut the spacebar man

tawdry tree
#

you can use a bigger keycap on the middle switch

#

but no stabs

solar tundra
#

😭

halcyon jungle
#

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?

tawdry tree
#

I honestly can not comprehend why split space and not 7U

#

it’s so much more niche

glacial wind
#

because it's gaming focused

solar tundra
#

I agree

tawdry tree
#

and 7U would actually be decent as a separate SKU

little glen
#

7u for 80he refresh

cyan lark
little glen
glacial wind
#

7u is more popular in custom keyboard land, but split spacebar has more gaming applications

tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

yeah i'm not saying it's not also niche

#

i'm saying why they probably picked split spacebar

tawdry tree
#

so crazy

tropic urchin
#

Tf would split space bar do unless you’re using it as a larger alt walk

glacial wind
#

7u doesn't really have much gaming application

#

split spacebar gives you an extra key to press in games

#

it's not really complicated

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

yeah

solar tundra
#

if you have long fingers even 2 more keys

untold wigeon
#

that's why geon released 7u because they're focusing on custom keyboard community

obtuse musk
#

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?

tawdry tree
#

no difference there

glacial wind
#

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

glacial wind
tawdry tree
#

non optional split space is just way more niche than 7U ever was

tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

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

untold wigeon
glacial wind
#

no one is talking 6.25u vs 7u

tawdry tree
untold wigeon
tawdry tree
#

for 7U and for split space

#

all included in their keycap set

#

their molds

glacial wind
#

i don't know who or what you're arguing against

#

no one here is disagreeing with you on 7u vs 6.25u

untold wigeon
steel jasper
#

Petition to make 7u wooting and not split space bar

tawdry tree
#

i’m not arguing against anything brotherman

ruby hill
#

Perhaps 6.25u and 7u are too close, hard to compatible with HE board?
Venom 6.25 & 7u was the example

untold wigeon
#

just knew that

tawdry tree
solar tundra
#

Man aligner just wants 7u

tawdry tree
#

never

cyan lark
#

I just wanted arrow keys T_T

solar tundra
#

but why you saying they should make 7u instead of split

steel jasper
obtuse musk
#

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

tawdry tree
solar tundra
#

I dont even know the difference between 6.25 and 7 is it just the size?

glacial wind
#

i think you're missing the business perspective

tawdry tree
#

if it were optional, that wouldn’t be the case

glacial wind
#

it's not about niche vs not niche

glacial wind
#

it's about gaming focus vs not gaming focus change

glacial wind
#

calder thinks the split spacebar has gaming applications and so they put it in, that's the reason for it

untold wigeon
#

i think the most huge controversy is the split spacebar and normal spacebar not on 1 pcb

glacial wind
#

it's not about niche-ness

solar tundra
calm pulsar
tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

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

solar tundra
tawdry tree
#

fumble of the century

untold wigeon
#

with rgb they need to mod some things

#

to make it work

tidal frigate
#

Thats definetly huge wooting L

tawdry tree
solar tundra
#

I mean if Wooting doesnt do it who else is doin it

#

They build the PCBs no

tawdry tree
#

sensor conflicts with mounting pin hole of the switch, that’s why they didn’t do it.

untold wigeon
#

rakka h60

#

it's possible

#

not impossible

tawdry tree
#

rakka did it because they think outside of the box and aren’t self constrained like woot is. rakka is niche squared

untold wigeon
#

but with rgb, it's kinda impossible

tawdry tree
#

they get away with having users cut the mounting pins of switches

#

woot doesn’t want to do that

tawdry tree
glacial wind
#

i mean, i'd probably just go with the actual reason that simon said instead of making up reasons lol

tawdry tree
#

that is?

glacial wind
#

it was tough for them to do so as an assembled product

calm pulsar
#

surely plates can be adapted to both

glacial wind
#

i'm not sure what that has to do with thinking outside the box

bronze grove
#

Having people cut their switches is pretty out of box

bronze grove
#

At least for mainstream

tawdry tree
#

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.

solar tundra
#

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

glacial wind
#

yeah that's the issue i think, is that a lot of people won't risk it on split spacebar

solar tundra
#

Yeah

#

I mean you can order one and try it you can still refund

tawdry tree
#

just doesn’t make any sense imo

glacial wind
#

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

tawdry tree
torpid crow
#

i think its a shame that still no split backspace or split right shift

solar tundra
#

But i dont know much time it will take you rly getting used to split spacebar

tawdry tree
#

it’s no way to introduce split space to those who haven’t tried it.

glacial wind
#

this isn't going to be the new 'arrow key' crusade is it? Otherwise fleimi might be readding you to the list lol

tawdry tree
ionic breach
#

i wonder how many % of sales will be split

glacial wind
#

although i guess you don't have the other guy who was always arguing about it back then

glacial wind
tawdry tree
#

😂

solar tundra
#

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

tidal frigate

little glen
#

i will buy split + iso

#

there will be dozens of us

glacial wind
#

the annoying thing is i don't usually buy sets with extension kit

untold wigeon
#

how much is the 60he v2 going to cost

glacial wind
#

so i'd need a new keycap set for split too
