B is the worst, A / C

[gritty escarp]

[cursive light]

C mid asf. not paying for a polycarb shitty keyboard

[light plover]

A ftw

[tranquil bear]

just A

[tough copper]

A is going to hard win probably. Translucent is interesting but personally I'm not a fan of speckles with it

[unborn fjord]

To hide the dust?

[light plover]

C is def the worst

[steady compass]

its not even a contest at that point

[quaint axle]

A absolutely

[stuck sphinx]

b looks like dandruff

[steady compass]

just vote A ty

[green dagger]

B as a limited and normal Ab

[teal cliff]

A looks nice cuz of the look makes it clean,b makes it look like somethings on it all the time, c aint my taste

[wheat grail]

CEEEEE

[abstract pumice]

this... just looks dirty

[kind vigil]

C if u could make it snow white

[quaint axle]

C is nice

[tacit terrace]

C is worst hands down

if C isnt alu bottom im going to eat a snickers bar

[dim osprey]

[old mulch]

GET OUT

[iron pasture]

we need C and A

[halcyon spoke]

I'm a sucker for all black so A

[meager viper]

Smokey translucent looks dope

[pliant flume]

I get anxiety when my keyboard gets too dusty

[stiff timber]

all is good

[quaint axle]

Yea most people want A

[vestal thicket]

C is the shittest one but B is nice, there should be a choice between A or B like there is on the Bakaneko

[steady salmon]

A….going into a different case as soon as I get it anyway

[patent torrent]

all

[vital sand]

B looking like the old hd600 👍

[stuck sphinx]

option d

[iron pasture]

need 2 options availible ! A and C

[tranquil bear]

so real nova

[vestal thicket]

this , but a and b

[junior pebble]

A 100%

[compact harbor]

C will have a lot of light bleed at dark

[junior pebble]

anything else is trolling

[compact harbor]

lol

[nova mantle]

can c be done in different color? that could be neat, not this color though

[near cairn]

A AND C WINNING

[sonic plover]

B is pretty sick, A looks cleanest tho

[lilac iris]

A and B look great

[hidden magnet]

c looks like prison issued mechanical keyboard

[meager viper]

I second this :o

[halcyon spoke]

are there any cases that support the 80he layout? I haven't seen any

[sweet dune]

A and B looks great too

[compact harbor]

A and B as limited would be cool

[granite python]

C goat

[upper dust]

Why does translucent have to have speckles why can’t you make it really dark and that’s it

[mental edge]

if C removes the speckles I'm all in for C

[echo pewter]

B looks really aesthetically pleasing

[sweet dune]

the same that he said 👍🏻

[tropic pewter]

C for sure

[old mulch]

ye as if it comes with dust included

[granite python]

C is better

[hollow hare]

pin this comment

[twilit chasm]

A

[iron pasture]

C looks rich! A is just a standard keyboard

[hexed rose]

C without speckles personally

[umbral hearth]

Translucent cases are always kinda gross tbh

[leaden heron]

🇨 Without speckles PLEASEEE

[mental edge]

THIS

[tropic pewter]

I’m a sucker for transluscent definitely C

[storm kindle]

As a wise man once said

[old mulch]

especially with just the solid black keycaps

[spice dew]

wow

[barren merlin]

🅰️ STEALTH

[ionic elbow]

A is the most generic boring choice ever 😂

[hollow hare]

Gamers are pretty generic

[lusty shoal]

C looks like something out of the 80s. Basic will always win with me

[willow juniper]

A is boring

[ionic elbow]

[honest oracle]

C without speckles would be clutch.. unfortunately injection molded polycarbonate is cheap & light. Would be absolutely bonkers if you went CNC’d polycarbonate but that would drive the cost up super high

[drifting mantle]

🤣

[umbral hearth]

I still can't get over how weird of a choice the led strip is

[austere mesa]

C without speckles

[iron pasture]

i like it personally

[civic dune]

Oi keep this civil and leave the edgelord shit at home

[cloud fulcrum]

100% agreed

[lusty shoal]

lmao

[barren merlin]

its a joke

[stuck sphinx]

[clever nimbus]

i think it looks weird with empty space

[delicate hearth]

that translucent one is so sexy goodness gracious me

[manic parcel]

TRUE

[dire kettle]

Translucent without speckles?

[spring void]

[manic parcel]

yes

[hollow marsh]

i think C would look better with keycaps that are also trans

[terse terrace]

I’d love an all white stealth one

[analog violet]

b looks like someone burst on the keyboard

[iron pasture]

i dont think so! it will be too much

[shell atlas]

Generic doesn't mean bad for sure, depending on the way the 80HE is being built why not just give people the ability to switch out pcr abs cases if they wish to have different models. that way you cater to everyone A will always be the best choice for majority, Just don't over stock on the other models so theres no potential loss in the future. If people want it they'll buy it

[storm kindle]

Would really love to see them explore the translucent option with some colors and design (like no speckles)

[shell atlas]

[delicate hearth]

i think its classy

[iron pasture]

C like this is super nice

[valid pebble]

Team speckles

[normal halo]

wtf

[barren merlin]

thats fine im not shot either id drakeeanna see

[delicate hearth]

a coloured translucent would be choice, like purple or green

[valid pebble]

Wtfff

[wooden dock]

Translucent no speckles

[echo pewter]

a and c are cool and all i just better get b as an option

[valid pebble]

Speckles is to beautiful ❤️

[ionic elbow]

I think the stealth will win so probably keep the stealth for normal orders and take preorders for the other choice.

[finite orchid]

Speckles underdogs represent

[iron pasture]

A is so boring 😦

[delicate hearth]

the speckles will just make me paranoid that its got dust on it

[nova mantle]

would love a purple version with no speckle

[meager viper]

I think C is better(without speckles) because most people will just replace the chassis of their keyboard with their own.

[plain kernel]

A

[delicate hearth]

riiight?

[valid pebble]

B

[delicate hearth]

C

[finite orchid]

isnt there gonna be non-abs case anyway ? Like allu one ?

[open grove]

D. Translucent without speckles

[stark notch]

A

[rare patio]

I personally have no interest in buying or adding a replacement case lol

[iron pasture]

me too

[civic dune]

Correct - zinc alloy

[iron pasture]

but A is super boring

[delicate hearth]

i think i probably will

[sturdy lodge]

i think the form factor will be less modded

[meager viper]

I said "most" not "all" >.<

[finite orchid]

So this choice doesn't affect the other one right 😉

[frosty oasis]

plss B

or D

B or R

B or D!!

[polar carbon]

I hope translucent makes it as an option since it ain’t gonna beat boring black. does the case have room for a weight so the abs assembly can kill a man?

[frosty oasis]

B or D!!

[valid pebble]

Pls B Or C

B!

[frosty oasis]

B!

[delicate hearth]

but yeah translucent would look supreme without the speckles

[weary jacinth]

A is the only answer

[delicate hearth]

wack

[valid pebble]

A is boring because it's the same as all keyboards

[narrow harness]

A looks clean

[delicate hearth]

indeed

[echo pewter]

b>a>c

[rancid musk]

A looks clean, B and C are gimmicky. Speckles look childish too

[finite apex]

A ofc

[delicate hearth]

falsehoods

[blissful wharf]

A is good B is good too but C is so bad

[meager viper]

whoever voted A is a boring, simple person. tsk tsk tsk

[open solstice]

A everytime, looks more casual, can go everywhere, whereas other gives a weird style

[delicate hearth]

C would look heaps choice without the dirty specks

[strange cave]

man why dont they just do all

[iron pasture]

C is good! A is ok

[delicate hearth]

money, chocla

[whole haven]

+1

[valid pebble]

B>c a

[true obsidian]

a and c are best

[echo pewter]

c would look a lot cleaner without the speckles

[iron pasture]

C>A>B

[delicate hearth]

very true saber

[echo pewter]

with different color variations too

[polar pecan]

I personally like A and B the most

[open solstice]

A is def the best one no cap

[valid pebble]

B>C>A

[pseudo iron]

Speckles make the case look dirty

[delicate hearth]

quite

[civic dune]

Correct, a future poll for zinc-alloy colors will probably be done, once we've got some more options and colors sampled

[open solstice]

A>C>B the A is classic and good but B is atrocious

[echo pewter]

nothing wrong with a it's a safe option but it's so boring and generic i just want something differnt i'd def go c without the speckles and a different color

[valid pebble]

Bro A is boring

[frosty oasis]

PLSSS B

[pallid forge]

B looks like my keyboard when I haven't dusted it for a month

[frosty oasis]

B is soo cool

[exotic skiff]

C is actually so cool with the wooting logo

[frosty oasis]

A is boring

[bold bridge]

B is cool

[open solstice]

free to custom, better than having an atrocious B style on ur desk

[prime jungle]

B looks dirty already

[frosty oasis]

@everyone vote B

[valid pebble]

YEA B

[exotic skiff]

i agree with that

[echo pewter]

[frosty oasis]

[frozen fractal]

Speckles making it look like i flicked a paintbrush onto my keeb lol

[frosty oasis]

[drifting yoke]

[echo pewter]

lmfao

[gentle bramble]

Translucent GYAAAAAAT

[valid pebble]

you have a small brain to think that

[bold bridge]

B looks different and that's cool

[valid pebble]

B PLS

[open solstice]

B is the worse

[echo pewter]

thanks finally we got some b lovers in here

[valid pebble]

[gentle bramble]

There are opnions and then bad opnions

[civic dune]

Please don't try and tag 75,000 people at once 😐

[quaint axle]

that person likes it respect

Who tf actually likes C

[open solstice]

I like the little wooting mark next to the arrows on thr C would be good on other too

[quaint axle]

B is the best idc

[winter atlas]

Hello

[tawny meteor]

A >>>

[civic dune]

It's on the others too, just can't see it because it's on the inside 🙂

[austere carbon]

A looks so clean

[gentle bramble]

A the OG > rest

[open solstice]

the style if same sort of keycaps were released would be fine but the wooting mark next to the arrows looks fire

[quaint axle]

speckles look cheap icl

[open solstice]

fr

[frosty oasis]

A looks so cheap

[valid pebble]

B is better than A and C

[quaint axle]

A is clean ash

[frozen fractal]

I don't know why pure translucent isn't an option it's just L after L

[frosty oasis]

A looks cheap

[valid pebble]

A is boring

[frozen fractal]

It's literally like here's a clean A vs dusty alternatives

[sour pelican]

B and C lookin good

[wicked dew]

e

[quaint axle]

Yeah but other than that it looks shit

[whole haven]

A is modern, B is 15 years old, C is from the 90s
A and C was meant as a compliment

[teal beacon]

B looks like it fell in a dust bin

[open solstice]

Not as much as B does looks like the 8dollar gaming keyboard on temu store

[teal beacon]

ong

[fading egret]

A all the way

[drifting yoke]

C voters gotta be a joke

[gentle bramble]

This is a valid opnion

[open solstice]

yeah black keycaps on it looks atrocious

[gray rapids]

price of wooting 80he?

[quaint axle]

A > C > B

[frozen fractal]

C voters wishing it didn't have speckles on jah

[teal beacon]

transparent does not work well with the black keycaps

[quaint axle]

B > A >>>>> C

[quaint axle]

so what if some people like it lol just deal with it

[quaint axle]

They got a point

[valid pebble]

A is boring, B is for goat, C is good but not better that B

[gray rapids]

might have to sell the wooting 60 for the 80 xd

[echo pewter]

choose b you get a with speckles

[gentle bramble]

A bad point tho, imagine liking B option

[frozen fractal]

These B fans can't be real

[valid pebble]

True

[gentle bramble]

Inr

[teal beacon]

B looks sooooo dusty

[split plume]

B looks me too blueish compared to the keycaps and C looks weird with black keycaps

[quaint axle]

real

[quaint axle]

B is fucking sick stfu

[teal beacon]

B does indeed make me sick

[civic dune]

Oi, provide your own opinion don't comment on the opinions of others

[quaint axle]

boohoo

[gentle bramble]

Naa

[teal tinsel]

C looks so good imo.

[quaint axle]

sorry moderator

[strong bobcat]

B for sure 👌🏽

[frozen fractal]

if C didn't have dust all over it I'd take it but it looks like I don't know how to clean so A it is :(

[quaint axle]

will happen again

[ionic delta]

so does the 80HE not have rgb like the 60 or the full?

[gentle bramble]

Speeckles ahh sht

[ionic gyro]

great - so it doesn't look weird when you add actual dust

[quaint axle]

yes

[echo pewter]

Mr_akbar how you feel a b or c

[civic dune]

Ask me on stream in an hour 🙂

[gaunt star]

not enough options...
Best option is
D - real TKL layout, no matter the design
second best option is
E - translucent without speckles

[fallen harness]

imagine spending so much on the render for designs just for majority to like the base xdddddd

[echo pewter]

okok

[gentle bramble]

I will accept ur bad opnion and go back to work, tc

B&C are fucking appalling 🤢 🤮

[quaint axle]

You’re half right

[echo pewter]

[gentle bramble]

Im just joking, every option is a good option. Now tc

all of them are going to be an option i just feel it in my bones

[tardy gorge]

translucent is good, my personal favorite

[quaint axle]

oh i see

[quaint axle]

it’s garbage

[bold bridge]

ok fuck you then

[echo pewter]

chloe just hating

[frozen narwhal]

Stealth is good, good is stealth,

[tardy gorge]

honestly

[civic dune]

Oi be civil

[tardy gorge]

i hope they only make translucent just to piss this person off

[teal beacon]

is hate really your only option?

[bold bridge]

he wasn't civil too so

it is what it is

[echo pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/puke-boy-puke-happy-puke-emetoulis-emetos-gif-5713005143989909800

[teal beacon]

tbh translucent could work if they change the keycaps around

[rugged quarry]

B & C ☝️

[gentle bramble]

Dw bro, u take care also

[sterile thicket]

Why are people voting A!? A has been done a thousand times! B is so great and unique and also not too high key!

[fair goblet]

all of them look great

[tardy gorge]

+1

[teal beacon]

people are voting a becuase people like a better

[sterile thicket]

B looks greater

[teal beacon]

newsflash

[bold bridge]

stay healthy

[sterile thicket]

Greaterer*

[frozen narwhal]

Cause its better for most people.

[tardy gorge]

i think do black and translucent

2 options

[obsidian sluice]

remember the rgb may stand out way better from a clear case

[sterile thicket]

The sparkle will get more clicks too👀

[tardy gorge]

win win

[echo pewter]

idek tbh maybe they just that basic look cant knock em for it, but this is a chance to get something different and most people are selecting a feels like a waste if we only get 1 option

[quaint axle]

nice try tho AS I WAS SAY SAYING

[tardy gorge]

delay transparent and drop it after black

[teal beacon]

agree but change the keycaps on the translucent

[sterile thicket]

Could I please ask what you don't like about B? Genuinely curious

[bold bridge]

actually that's my point but oh well guess we gotta stick with the basic

[tardy gorge]

idk it just looks bad to me personally

i can enjoy it

but not on my desk

[velvet copper]

I think stealth is definitely the best looking and cleanest for a premium board

[tardy gorge]

it wouldn’t fit with my setup

[teal beacon]

it looks like someone spraypainted over it but did a really bad job

[ionic delta]

the speckles might look better in a different color but white on black is not it

[sterile thicket]

Could you be more descriptive? What about it is bad?

[velvet copper]

Yeah

[echo pewter]

"it looks dusty" -close minded

jks but not really

[sterile thicket]

Hmmm I didn't notice this

[tardy gorge]

looks more like it’s dirty than a paint job

[velvet copper]

It looks like dandruff on my keyboard 😂

[sterile thicket]

Thank you for the insight!

[cobalt blade]

i basically doesn't get why they don't re-edit the Wooting One with better hardware and software, the design was better and more minimalistic

[whole haven]

Looks dirty, hides the elegant lines of the case by confusing the eyes with a ton of sprinkles, style from 15 years ago that hasn’t aged well, I could continue

[woeful flower]

A all the way.

[frozen narwhal]

Yea felt the same for me

[sterile thicket]

I was wondering how I had the sparkling on my current wooting already

[velvet copper]

True

[velvet copper]

Lmao

[teal beacon]

bro out here with the product design phd

[idle prawn]

+1

[weary pewter]

A gets my vote

[spare goblet]

A is the best and always will be. The rest can be separate mods for those who really wish for it

[quaint axle]

is the 80he going to be better than the 60he? from the technical side

[frozen narwhal]

I already have B with my dandruff problem..

[spare goblet]

Same thing

[tardy gorge]

b is growing on me but i wouldn’t buy it over black or translucent

[teal beacon]

i doubt it

[echo pewter]

kollekta you already got an all black keyboard! all of you do!

[mighty dune]

Gotta crank out the head & shoulders

[tardy gorge]

80he confirmed 2million hz polling rate

[bold bridge]

you'll not buy it anyway

[rugged quarry]

umm, because B looks like my grandma's cookware, jesus fking christ, are you people blind? How can you like this crap? 😂

[sterile thicket]

I'm going to rub my dandruff into my 60HE and clear coat over it

[teal beacon]

they should do both A and C

[tardy gorge]

agree

[ionic delta]

💀

[west sinew]

C gang let’s go

[tardy gorge]

A for the masses C for the culture

[waxen cliff]

A safest bet and thats what i voted but would be interested in translucent no speckles but would need to see how it look with all rgbs on at full power to see how translucency here affects looks

[sterile thicket]

Your grandmothers cookware sounds beautiful

[lone agate]

C

[graceful sonnet]

Team speckles

[dry dove]

speckles remind me of space, i love it

[misty pawn]

Speckles!

[fair goblet]

A stands for AMAZING

[rugged quarry]

your tastes are awfull 😄

[sterile thicket]

^

[ionic delta]

truthfully i think the speckles would look best as in non black or white for both B and C

[sterile thicket]

No your grandmothers taste is incredible.

[bold bridge]

B for Beautiful

[arctic bane]

God damn, definitely A over kitchen cookware speckled and Gameboy advance 😅

[tardy gorge]

why everyone so mad over colors on a keyboard

[teal beacon]

speckles would go hard if the board wasnt pitch black

[tardy gorge]

people just hating to hate

[teal beacon]

like a dark blue or something

[frozen narwhal]

Yeah i can see that

[tough copper]

I'd be curious to see how non speckle smokey black would compete with B and C in the poll

[whole haven]

I love the case design 10/10, it’s a great job ❤️

[teal beacon]

fr

[fair goblet]

what does C stand for?

A = Amazing, B = Beautiful

[rugged quarry]

cunty 🙂

[teal beacon]

Charming

[sterile thicket]

Fire

[mighty dune]

The potential with C + RGB could go crazy honestly thinking about it, but overall A is just the safer option imo.

[tardy gorge]

see that’s my thought

[fair goblet]

charming is nice, i like it

[ionic delta]

agree

[bold bridge]

cute

idk

[sterile thicket]

This was my dilemma

[teal beacon]

i wouldnt describe C as a cute board tho

[frozen narwhal]

Maybe I dont like translucent cause I turn off every RGB I have, or have them very low brightness at night for easy usage

[tardy gorge]

this is why i like the transparent

[sterile thicket]

WOW

[mighty dune]

Yeah

[sterile thicket]

THATS INCREDIBLE

[teal beacon]

i dont like transparent+rgb personally but it still looks dope

[bold bridge]

anyway I need key caps for 60he

[echo pewter]

actually tuff

[tardy gorge]

fr

[waxen cliff]

Honestly i feel like including Stealth was a mistake, instead stealth should be base model and poll should be about 2ndary option available at launch

[teal beacon]

this

[frozen narwhal]

Yeah

[tardy gorge]

yeah stealth should always be a base option

[teal beacon]

they should have A as the base model and then like C as an extra

[sterile thicket]

I have my color code as close to white as possible, and I have hyperx white translucent caps and they're insane. Couldn't imagine the light coming from the board with the transparent case as well omf

[bold bridge]

they should do the 3 versions

[honest laurel]

C

[waxen cliff]

Atm its no contest at all its clear as day

[echo pewter]

d translucent

[tardy gorge]

the rgb gets plenty bright enough to diffuse through the case

ngl

i was expecting it to be darker

[astral ridge]

Stealth should definitely always be an option IMO, however cool to see translucent making a comeback. Cool electronics shouldn't be hidden but highlighted!

[teal beacon]

fr fr

[tardy gorge]

man of culture

[quaint axle]

Smaller bezels on the cases please:(

[cobalt blade]

yes please ?!

[cunning shoal]

speckels are neat but I'd personally confuse them with dirt and dust c_c

[frozen narwhal]

just trim it off ))

[tardy holly]

I honestly think all 3 look pretty cool

[maiden aspen]

I want to see a picture of the translucent one with RGB on

[frozen narwhal]

Yea as said above by others, it would look better with distinguished colors

[cunning shoal]

👀

[teal beacon]

yessir

[storm pelican]

speckles would look so good with a galaxy deskmat :00

[modest marsh]

(D) floating keys (which is obviously isn't technically possible) 😉

[jade shadow]

guys B is good

[cunning shoal]

on the other hand it looks like a starry pattern, which is nice and wouldn't work as well if the speckles had different colours

[cunning shoal]

true stealth xD

[teal beacon]

not the speckles but the board self, like a really dark blue

or a dark grey

[frozen narwhal]

Yea but looks more to me as a keyboard full with dandruff than starry pattern, im not hating on it or making jokes i really feel that way about it\

might have a different opinion if seen irl

[teal beacon]

shoutout to the designers for making 3 designs so good they turned the entire discord in a civil war

[pallid arrow]

Of course everyone gonna pick boring black, the other two look way nicer

Y'all just scared of being out there

[frozen narwhal]

Of course everyone gonna pick the option they think is better than the other options.

[tough copper]

i'm church of the anti-speckles unfortunately

[agile crystal]

Yeah stealth is the sexiest

[whole haven]

From what Ive seen so far: A voters want a clean design without sprinkles. B voters want anything that isnt just 1 plain thing.

My idea would be the black one for ppl who want it absolutely simplistic, 3-4 different colors for different setups, And Most Of All: color flow versions (slight extra charge possible). It would give great alternatives to people who think A is boring and people who think sprinkles are not clean.

Of course I dont know if this is possible, its jsut an idea

[frozen narwhal]

Other options may looks nicer to you, not for others tho. Thats the point of making a vote for it.

[final girder]

🥷

[fallen galleon]

Stealth is safest for sure

[pallid arrow]

People will pick plain black over the other options every single time, as a brand being restricted to plain black because your community says so is depressing, it's nice they give the option though

[zenith horizon]

🇦

[pallid arrow]

Exactly what I

mean, "safest"

[open eagle]

Costs a lot more to produce a variety of stuff sadly because a lower quantity of a specific thing drives cost up

[pallid arrow]

That's not a good thing

[open eagle]

Nobody is gonna be unhappy with a black or white case as the options because it works in the most scenarios

[pallid arrow]

Exactly so a poll like this is ultimately pointless

[open eagle]

They might be happier with the speckles but they're not gonna avoid buying it because it doesn't have the speckles

[pallid arrow]

And all discussion about it is pointless because people always prefer the safer option

[open eagle]

The best bet from a company's standpoint is just to go with white and black as the options

[frozen narwhal]

Yea but you saying that people are scared of being out there is just wrong, why do people have to pick something they see not as good as another option just to be out there? What suits you doesn't suit others

[open eagle]

Because people will complain about a big price difference if they have more variety of harder to produce cases

[waxen cliff]

Yeah as i mentioned including stealth was a mistake it should be base model and poll about other choice available fastest after launch

[whole haven]

I know. I dont know the price per scale varies when using different plastic colors. option would be adding an extra charge to make up for it. was just an idea

[winged talon]

Stealth looks best imo

[wary hinge]

B B B B

[winged talon]

+1

[wary hinge]

[open eagle]

Well they'd have lower margins because they can't get as big as a discount from bulk buying the stuff for one case color

So it could drive the cost of the end product up

[pallid arrow]

It's natural for people to pick the safe option, it's understandable. It's just a shame that the other designs won't see the light of day. I think the mistake was creating this poll in the first place though as the result would already be predetermined

[open eagle]

Yeah

100%

Well not a mistake but an oversight

[fallen galleon]

Stealth as base and others as extra options

[open eagle]

Kinda gives illusion of choice and can cause disappointment with people that want the other versions

[whole haven]

"We have 3 different style cases that we can further explore with coloursyou can vote which style has your preference with a reaction"

[pallid arrow]

Exactly

[frozen narwhal]

You are missing out something, its not just safest option. People do think its better than other options. If they had more liking towards other design they would've voted for it. That simple. Safest option for the company to make, not for the people to choose. Cause it suits most people and they like it.

[open eagle]

Safest is not necessarily best it just works with the most

[ionic delta]

i mean it's not like the only thing they're looking for is the winner. I'm sure they'll probably take the vote counts into mind and maybe use it to decide on an alternate version or to gauge interest in an alternate version in the first place

[pallid arrow]

People pick it more because it's the safe option. Basic human psychology, that's why it "suits people". C is easily the most interesting and has the most potential in different colours but that would never ever win against a plain colour model.

[ionic delta]

The twitter poll is a tad bit more even

[fallen galleon]

I def like C just dont know how it would look irl

[autumn pine]

What if I picked it because I liked it and didn’t know it was safe

[pallid arrow]

Liked what? Plain black?

What do you like about it in particular?

[autumn pine]

It’s cool

[frozen narwhal]

You can think of it however you want, but to me. If something suits someone more than something else, then what suits them is what they like more. Safety here is the concern of the manufacturer not the buyer.

[green cosmos]

speckles would be cool if the keycaps had them too ngl

[sharp ore]

black zinc case

[fallen galleon]

Spekle keycaps sounfs fire

[ionic delta]

i mean, it's safe because people don't have any real reason to dislike it.

[pallid arrow]

Safety in this context is the concern of the person about to spend money on something that'll be sat on their desk all day, what are you talking about lol

[ionic delta]

some people like speckles, some people strongly dislike them. very very few people are gonna strongly dislike a solid black, it's a very basic option.

[green cosmos]

yeah

[balmy elbow]

dude

design c

in different colors

[frozen narwhal]

So if someone buys option A, they are just buying for safety. And if someone buys options B or C, its because they like it? Wow thats a nice way of explaining the vote. Obviously people vote A cause they like A more.

[balmy elbow]

goes hard

[pallid arrow]

Exactly, anyone arguing against this doesn't give af about logic

[livid saddle]

translucent so sexy

[green cosmos]

i dislike transparent designs on literally everything idk

[livid saddle]

I love them

at least for plastics

[runic depot]

I like B and C but im not planning on buying an 80 so

[green cosmos]

same

[livid saddle]

I'm still hoping for a 65%

[stone dust]

C

[green cosmos]

also not planning on buying one but A n B are the best imo

[runic depot]

I respect all of your opinions

[autumn pine]

Option D when

[green cosmos]

never

[runic depot]

D

[green cosmos]

dick case when

[pallid arrow]

You are describing the results of the poll, I am describing the REASONING behind the results of the poll and why it ended up that way.

[honest sparrow]

It's not PC, It's ABS plastic. You don't need to make it PC to make it translucent.

[wary hinge]

hey calder can we see some more pictures of the white and black zinc alloy case

[pallid arrow]

@frozen narwhal if you agree that this poll was always going to end up with this result, then we're not of differing opinions. I am simply saying this poll is pointless because plain colour will always win over the others. Every time

[wary hinge]

[runic depot]

Hey calder can we Hey calder

[green cosmos]

yes

[frozen narwhal]

And your reason is flawed, you are making it sound like people vote A cause they are "scared of being out there". Meanwhile, they vote A cause they like A more. Now we are going on circles. You are more than welcome to type more this is the last bit of text im adding to this convo since we are going nowhere and repeating what we said. People are different and so be it.

[honest sparrow]

Poll is disappointingly non-surprising, other than B getting a lot more traction than I had anticipated.

[quaint axle]

I love the speckles

[frozen narwhal]

Since A is a better option overall I agree, should've made a poll about B or C only. and made A default.

[autumn pine]

What if we had a galaxy style option

[green cosmos]

samd

[quaint axle]

Something no one has done afaik

[runic depot]

If i was a betting man i would have bet on A heavily

[green cosmos]

basically B with more steps

[wary hinge]

dw man just make B cases and I buy that even if its just a sample

[pallid arrow]

lol "better"

Plain colour is not better it's safer

ffs

[green cosmos]

^

[autumn pine]

Well yeah, B looks ugly to me imo. It reminds me of when my neighbor painted his fence and my car got overspray

[livid saddle]

safe in terms of what?

[green cosmos]

lol

[autumn pine]

Was not a great experience

[runic depot]

sales

[frozen narwhal]

so for the manufacturer. Good we agree on this.

[livid saddle]

true

[pallid arrow]

In terms of fitting in a setup, being happy with what you've got after it arrives etc.

[honest sparrow]

here is a close up of B

[runic depot]

I wasnt arguing with anyone here im vibing

[pallid arrow]

It looks cool, I wanna see way more of C though, would there have been different colours for C too?

[green cosmos]

minimal but sexy

[quaint axle]

It's so cool

Will light reflections make them light up slightly?

[autumn pine]

C would be cool if the plastic was purple

[honest sparrow]

here are 2 versions of C

[autumn pine]

gameboy vibes

[green cosmos]

white is cool

[pallid arrow]

White looks COLD wtf

[runic depot]

Translucent different colors is big pog

[green cosmos]

fr

[livid saddle]

love the white one

[pallid arrow]

Exactly, but people would never vote for it even though it's creative and has loads of potential

[wary hinge]

@tough copper

[runic depot]

Only if it came in gameboy purple would i buy it

[pallid arrow]

I also think that if you had them in different colours then you should've shown those photos before running the poll

Cause the white C looks insane

[honest sparrow]

more white

[autumn pine]

That’s true

[autumn pine]

The white is kinda looking nice

[green cosmos]

hot

[tough copper]

i like the more white version but I don't know if it's because I just don't like speckles in the smokey black one

[honest sparrow]

another look of speckle

[honest sparrow]

We're making a sample for it.

[green cosmos]

id the keycaps were with speckles too itd look perfect

[quaint axle]

The random RGB throws me off imo

[runic depot]

SICK

[pallid arrow]

Reminds me of the Finalmouse Starlight 12 speckles, I'm a fan

[honest sparrow]

We can remove the speckles

[open junco]

I voted C but know why OCD will lead to A as a vote

[autumn pine]

LET’S GOO

[green cosmos]

cuz rn it looks kinda off

[pallid arrow]

@frozen narwhal gone real quiet since the white C dropped

[green cosmos]

lol

[honest sparrow]

Speckles is experimental, but we can remove it for a cleaner look. we have a few more with speckles to experiment with.

[green cosmos]

i dont like transparent design but white C is probably the only one i like

[runic depot]

I'll be real quiet when the gameboy colors drop

[green cosmos]

shit is actually good

[pallid arrow]

White C and Purple C would be GOATED

[fair goblet]

i'd like to see black translucent without speckles

[green cosmos]

yep

[pallid arrow]

Shame we'll never see them because plain colour was in the poll

GGs

[livid saddle]

[rustic fable]

C all the way!

[echo pewter]

Icy blue c would look nice too I think

[runic depot]

Actually taking my B vote away and just saying C

[cosmic token]

Let's go C!!!!!!!!!!!4444

[leaden heron]

I need this

[echo pewter]

Yeah might have to go c lowkey if they add more colour ways…

[pallid arrow]

Damn Wooting gotta drop C now

[autumn pine]

C is the way if we get that gameboy color

[pallid arrow]

This what I'm sayin bro why would they not show that in the poll originally, looks so nice

[runic depot]

80HE C COLORWAYS

IM IN

[frozen narwhal]

Well as I said in my last 2 messages I wont add more into the convo, not worth it arguing over and over in circles. I have went to live my day but thanks to your mention now i saw the white version of translucent and yes it looks way better than the dark translucent one. Still I like A better for my setup/

[echo pewter]

I was thinking this but I thought the pill were the only options we really had

[pallid arrow]

Yes because your setup is boring and safe. Have a great day

[honest sparrow]

These are 3 different styles, I didn't want to focus on the colors.

[honest sparrow]

Leave each ones opinion to its own.

[frozen narwhal]

Whatever makes you feel good, have a nice day.

[tough copper]

might be worth doing another poll re: speckle vs non speckle because I think a bunch of people avoided c due to speckles alone

[honest sparrow]

I personally love all the translucent versions, but look at all that A voting lol :p

[honest sparrow]

Perhaps.

[echo pewter]

Let’s do a run back

Lol

[runic depot]

RUN THAT SHIT BACK

[honest sparrow]

Was not planning to keep it with only the A. We have A in there because we know people will still want a plain black option.

[echo pewter]

RUN IT BACK LEMME GET A RE!

[runic depot]

Lemme switch to my main

[honest sparrow]

The division between B and C are the important ones.

[runic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/starfox-melee-faiah-dash-dance-gif-13867212

[pallid arrow]

The vote would be way more one sided if people saw C white imo, but I won't keep going on haha, I just think it brings the best out of the style

[echo pewter]

For sure can’t go wrong with a but def do want those other options for sure kinda leaning towards c a little more now after this new info unlock

[honest sparrow]

I don't want to have tons of different SKU due to colors. On a launch or limited time it's okay, but continious stock is a real pain.

[runic depot]

Limited time colorways

[echo pewter]

🤣

[autumn pine]

While I don’t think option A is necessarily a “safe” option. I do believe you’re right that it’s basically the only option that looks good and what most people like. It’s a shame because although I don’t like option B, I feel like the speckles could be patterned way better or maybe even take on shapes. Option C looked lazy until we saw that white one and GOD DAMN ITS BEAUTIFUL. So I don’t think people chose the “safe” option. I think it was literally the only thing to choose as the people voting are probably not reading this chat at all

[mental epoch]

A looks the best

[runic depot]

Calder after my heart

[wary hinge]

I think thr company is heading in the right direction. just hoping for other colors then black and white

[visual umbra]

I can't help but think B looks like there's dust/fluff all over the keyboard... C and A are nicer

[honest sparrow]

Yeah, perhaps do another round and focus on B and C. We have also a white style for B we're working on.

[rustic seal]

Me when I'm in school ;-;

[floral pawn]

B just makes the keyboard look dusty and dirty imo

[rustic seal]

A and B for me but prob more on A

[honest sparrow]

also when you see the real thing?
#1205492872955039744 message

[echo pewter]

Lemme get that old school game boy color translucent purple

[visual umbra]

it does look better under that lighting... but still wouldn't be my first choice out of the three

[runic depot]

#1205492872955039744 message

[crimson bear]

I prefer A then B

[autumn pine]

Could you perhaps try tiny triangles as the speckles? I can envision it and it might look cool

[floral pawn]

agree

[green cosmos]

theyre making one

[honest sparrow]

after lunar new year

[honest sparrow]

can't control the shape to that degree, just increase and decrease the size of the speckles.

[autumn pine]

Ahh

[echo pewter]

Take my money already

[green cosmos]

lol

[autumn pine]

I feel like the poll should have a revote

[quaint axle]

What made you add the rgb strip btw?

[autumn pine]

If people saw that white one or the speckle one up close, it’d be crazy

[honest sparrow]

Idk, I don't think it'd make that much of a difference. A is at a major advantage

[autumn pine]

Well, yeah. Can’t go wrong with a black keyboard! I don’t know though, that white one was enough for me to change my vote

[molten tide]

stealth for sure

[patent rapids]

this is so sick

translucent goes hard I hope it is also an option

[arctic mountain]

any chance to electroplate the zinc alloy?

[honest sparrow]

Yes, we are also testing CeraKote

Trying to avoid regular painting methods. I'm personally trying to get a more raw industrial looking exterior, means, no paint over it but just some polish and coat.

[molten wadi]

Lemme use this chance to thank yall for making the best keyboards

[arctic mountain]

cyanide-based, alkaline cyanide-free, or acid zinc electrolyte baths too?

[honest sparrow]

non-chromium passivate

I'm still educating myself on every single option and how it exactly works, so you're welcome to pitch in and explain what you know and if you have any experience.

Suppliers often just refer to electroplating as a general term, not the specific method they use for it.

After samples, if we get interested in a certain coating, we try to peel away at what it all entails.

[open grove]

W

Simply a W

But if the zinc alloy's natural colour is good

I'd probably rather just have that finished without any further dyeing

Like 🥁

the alumaze i have here

[lapis chasm]

sad that everyone is boring and wants the standard black smokey is so cool

[chilly crane]

agreed

even the speckled

[tepid shell]

Option c is way better

Look more new

[open grove]

it's too dark for me

[tepid shell]

Normal black look like other brand

[lapis chasm]

that's racist

[open grove]

Hahahaha

[lapis chasm]

[west sinew]

Lets veto C

[lapis chasm]

yeah I feel the same, there's a chance to go for a slight flair with the smokey look but everyone wants it to look like any other keyboard

[sterile thicket]

^

[chilly crane]

plus its cheaper. wooting typically charges more for customized colors, it seems like a freebie to me.

[sterile thicket]

What this be

What am I looking at and what is the comparison or idea you're trying to convey 😂

[topaz blaze]

Option C reminds me of a cheaper version of quality items or a cheap date. Stealth black is classy!

[echo pewter]

I strongly disagree

[open grove]

translucent 80he with blue fluid + a water animal inside of it

[chilly crane]

water cooled keyboard ?

[open grove]

idk why i called it an alumaze i call brain error

[lapis chasm]

though this is what would actually immediately sell it to me

[sterile thicket]

Wait.. you're seriously onto something

Limited edition aquarium core case.

[open grove]

Yeah time for a new Wooting water mascot

[pastel hound]

Cast aluminum sand blasted in white gonna be cute

[open grove]

why cast

[sterile thicket]

This would definitely create a lot of hype. Imagine the reviews. So many clicks

[lapis chasm]

80HE Aqua edition, make the smokey one have orangered liquid inside and some basalt pieces and call it Molten edition

[pastel hound]

Cheaper

[open grove]

theyd need to sell a keyb mouse combo of course

[open grove]

depends

[sterile thicket]

Chat. We did it. All thanks to @open grove

[pastel hound]

In mass manufacturing def

[open grove]

Depends

[topaz blaze]

Here’s another option. Why don’t they do a white and gold case with matching white gold keycaps.

[sterile thicket]

We're cooking in here

[waxen cliff]

Do these samples have functional led/rgb? I assume no but if yes could you make some shots with whole keeb rgb on?

[wintry python]

All 23 translucent enthusiasts in shambles rn

[wary harbor]

honestly if translucent was a thing it would be what makes me buy the keyboard, the black isnt colorful enough for me and doesnt match anything i have or would fit my keycaps

[naive glen]

From these options I like A the most but it would be cool to have something like C but without the sprinkles

[wary harbor]

especially as i currently use a flesports mk870

[high mantle]

i like C but it would be better if slightly darker i guess. i hope all the voters realise this is only for the recycled plastic case before they voted A

[lapis chasm]

uhmm well there is no other case apart from the zinc one

[amber kestrel]

speckles look sooooo good

[open grove]

nou

[wary harbor]

for your consideration, my current smokey board with a wooting rest and keysterine arctic keycaps

[lapis chasm]

why can't I react in here bruv

anyway, love it

[wary harbor]

genuinely i've been eyeing a wooting board forever and the 80% has made me reconsider my hard "no i don't want/need one", but being in translucent or at least not black/overly bright zinc coatings would be what makes me actually convinced to buy one for my valorant and otherwise peripherals

it's always been such a hard sell to add another full black peripheral when i want anything else but not something super bright either

[lapis chasm]

I'm pretty hard to convince as well as giving up my preferred keyfeel is a lot to ask but a sufficiently interesting color/design might do it

[foggy ruin]

really like C ->

[lapis chasm]

what is bro doing

[wary harbor]

it's the translucent steam deck

though certainly way less translucent than most cases

[lapis chasm]

ohh yeah I could barely tell

which is why context was lost on me

[foggy ruin]

yeah, I got a bad photo, you can't really see much from the regular version.

[delicate nymph]

C reminds me of cheap chinese toys and whatnot

[sacred canyon]

[foggy ruin]

I have other vibes.
with some editions of old consoles (nintendo and etc).
that made transparent gamepads, consoles.

but maybe I'm an old man. since I rememb it all.

[lapis chasm]

yeah to me it's a good mix of callback to old times when it was cool to have a translucent thing but then also with the satin/smokey effect modernizing it

[delicate nymph]

hmm

[foggy ruin]

true

[delicate nymph]

I never had a console at home so I wouldn't really know in the first place

[tough copper]

there's definitely an age divide here where the people who experienced retro tech being translucent thinks it looks neat, but those who didn't seem to not like it as much

you get vibes of the old gameboys and n64s etc that came in translucent colors back in the day

[delicate nymph]

that could be why they decided to try that style

[runic depot]

You're so right

[civic dune]

We designed it because we're old? Ge'ez so much for being a hip gaming company

Not that you're wrong... 😅

[lapis chasm]

👴

[tough copper]

It's only right that we add a retro cream 80he zinc alloy edition to complete the retro vibes, and I'm totally not saying this just because I have retro gaming keycaps that need a cream case

[lapis chasm]

yeah I agree it's only logical and am not only saying this because I support sno's cause

[open grove]

retro cream, dark gray, red and white incoming

xd

[tough copper]

If only we had some example color photos we could use as inspiration

Ah oops I attached an image to that last message

[lapis chasm]

unfortunate mishap for sure

[torpid jackal]

C, nuff said. It’s different and seeing the inner workings is awesome!

[polar maple]

The be honest, B reminds me of lunch trays from my days in grade school.... Not a good association.

A will have always been a thing anyway.... but I can clearly see the vision with C

[lapis chasm]

a little, yeah. or generally a "low quality plastic" but I think that association is not set in stone

think in-person it would look quite sweet, like a galaxy/space thing

[polar maple]

I can see that

I think they are all basically a W

As mentioned in the stream... they should redo these images with RGB going full ham....
That will have an impact on perception

[lapis chasm]

yeah I wonder if they don't yet have a full working prototype to show for all of these?

[polar maple]

They do!
I think Jeroen showed his sample of it.

*in the stream this am

[lapis chasm]

then they should definitely include some RGB enabled photos :o

[solid zephyr]

There's a bit of a revival in hobbies like game boy modding and stuff

[polar maple]

I'm form that era... and tbh, I never liked it. It's always looked cheap to me... though I don't think I could have articulated that when I was 9.

[pale ether]

C is my vote but A allows for the user to customize it better if they wanted to personalize it

[tough copper]

Do not worry, you may join the church of the retro cream zinc alloy 80HE for that retro but non plastic vibe

[polar maple]

I know I stand apart from the aesthetics of the key board community.... but I myself have always been a more far sighted, futuristic enjoyer. Trying to see the styles that look ahead and have an "age well".... timelessness.

[carmine summit]

🇦

[hushed pewter]

C would be insane with rgb!

[wintry python]

I experienced all of that when they came out and hated the translucent Nintendo products back then and still dislike translucent. Looks like a mess

[gloomy light]

I really love the starry and imperfect look of B, although it might be a tiny bit too much, I think I've seen a little bit more subtle versions in a video. I feel like A & B in the store would be nice. Some choice when buying...

[polar maple]

Wow!
I just saw the pins in this thread.
That white C translucent goes pretty freakin' hard.

[slender light]

B looks super dope, I’ll have to go with a and b. C is a hard pass for me

[gloomy light]

Yeah I feel especially the top/front a bit too transparent for my taste

really love transparent sides tho

[solid zephyr]

rip

[lone grotto]

Option for each

[faint warren]

Out of these options only A otherwise I would go for carbon fiber just for the looks

[wise vigil]

im gonna be honest but i see totally no difference with what the product was initially

seems just the same in terms of layout design

at this point what was this "under construction" on the right part of the keyboard for? it's not that shifting the arrow keys by a bit make it look like you made a massive work..

i bet also that most of the feedback are people who are still disappointed or gave up on the TKL of their magnific dreams and act like "well i dont got other shit so might as well just stick to this" because it seems like that a TKL won't be ever done at this point

[high mantle]

its all they could do since the molds were mostly complete and retooling it would be impossible

i wouldnt say a tkl would never be done at this point. they take like 2 years per keyboard lol

and theres other massive companies making tkl hall effect keyboards (although worse performing) that the average normie who knows what rapid trigger is would order instead and get in their posession way faster

im not defending the 80he layout specifically though and i get why people are mad. i might get one but im more of a full size fanboy.

changing the layout entirely is going to require way more work time and money

[wise vigil]

if we are talking about performance then you're wrong, rakka's keyboard is better on that aspect

[high mantle]

i dont suppose they expected the 80he to be their highest volume product either at all

[high mantle]

is the rakka even available? i havent heard much about it

i know the polling rate is higher thats about it

[wise vigil]

i mean, you can do 8k hz yes, but in 1khz is still a better performance board than most of the HE keyboards

[wise vigil]

kbdfans has holy60 and TAKKA60 which features rakka's board

[high mantle]

oh thanks for info

[wise vigil]

2 years for a keyboard isn't a lot considering how much HE stuff is publicly available now? it's like the apple of keyboards if you think about it, like, it makes you wait years before something that most of the other companies might have done already before wooting's keyboard presents it and then when you compare them u see no difference at all and it's just straight disappointment

[green shell]

A = ♥️♥️👍
B = 🫤
C = ♥️👍
C without speckles or smoked translucent = ♥️♥️

[eternal copper]

A looks stock, B looks like the keyboard is dusty, C would be my favorite without the speckles. Gives 90s translucent vibes

[honest sparrow]

Yes

This is without the arrow shift I made a little while back. I dim all the other LED (30%) and leave the bar bright (100%) with AoE effect when typing.

[lapis chasm]

with the green it almost reminds me of those tritium nightsights for guns haha

should provide a pic with the ol "rainbow" preset and full brightness too 👍

[high mantle]

very cool

[sonic drum]

C because I'm a sucker for translucent, however the widest appealing one will be stealth

Speckles is a sick look though, live the stary vibe and breaking up the basic black in a subtle way

What I'm really trying to say is, do them all

Maybe even, and this is gonna sound crazy, make it a shell that clips off so we can have whatever one we want on there

[torpid jackal]

That'd be cool

[quasi stone]

What if, top deck mat black finish and underneath that swirl that you can see on the sides that speckled smokey translucent color

A two tone kind of scheme

Last idea, what about a retro inspired one?

[digital jolt]

(A) Will happen for sure. (B) Reminds me of a sketchy 3d print job. (C) Probably what I'd pick, of the plastic. However, I really want the equivalent of the alumaze gray concrete finish. It's by far my favorite wooting case.

[rotund folio]

White translucent with sparkly rainbow speckles

[wary hinge]

I would say this poll is a bit more balanced compared to the first one.

however people still have a preference for solid colors

[river cipher]

I'd pick translucent if it didn't have the speckles. The speckles would drive me insane.

[patent rapids]

translucent no speckles would go super super hard

[urban plover]

translucent no speckles would be great

I still stand by this

[fathom sail]

AAA

A

A

B

[weak island]

they should sell all three but make it an option?

[lapis chasm]

this is not a poll to decide forever on just one 👍

<@&490097707487330305> I don't know what this is

but it should die a painful death
