#60HE 8kHz not currently in the works
signal shoal
When the 60 HE preorder was happening, you could choose to get it earlier with the current (at the time) processor, or wait a couple of months for the arm32 instead which would facilitate "future upgradeability"
I can go look for the exact wording, hold on
stark sand
Oh that change
That was not for 8k, that was because A) the AVR chips were not able to be sourced and b) the ARM chips can do more calculations like layered RGB effects, and have more advanced key configurations

Oh, at the time I felt there was more substantial future support, but I guess I misunderstood

and uhhhh, you can't just firmware update to overcome a physical limitation
back when the 60HE was designed anything above 1khz was not even a consideration

and uhhhh, you can't just firmware update to overcome a physical limitation
It wasn't necessarily a physical limitation
proven whale
well, the chip selected sets limits
signal shoal
Yes, but I don't know the entire firmware, so I don't know those limits. So I asked
stark sand
Totally fair question, but at this point in time we have not announced any plans or intentions to upgrade the 60HE to 8k, neither current units or future productions.

Any further latency improvements/gains below the 1ms, is negligible. There is far more to gain from features such as Rapid Trigger, which reduces latency from key press travel.
Found the relevant update, it was implied this wouldn't happen. So my bad for misunderstanding

I absolutely stand by this quote.
We are doing 8k polling on the 80HE because we are also doing 8k scanning, and we want to set the industry standard that those should match and both be considered.
If we didn't do so, then our competitors could parade around 8k polling without the firmware to back it up and then it's just marketing fluff

i believe in 8khz wooting one

Just figured for posterity, going to assume the question is gonna come up a bunch of times
stark sand
Indeed

Is the MCU for the 80HE substantially different? I haven't kept up with it as much, since I don't love the form factor. I'm asking whether technically there could be modded firmware that could do it, just in pure (cycles per key * cpu speed * keys)/0.125ms

it's a different chip we dont know which one it is yet
proven whale
I have no clue but I'd imagine it's really down to what's available to the chip so you couldn't really just "mod" it
besides it's not like the f/w is public so you'd have to just write your own, from scratch
cerulean charm
I don't remember the 60he chip but if I remember correctly that one just can't to 8khz hardware side
stark sand
The MCU is different from the 60HE, but as far as I'm aware we have no intention of sharing which MCU is being used until the product delivers to customers.

Fair, I won't push, thanks for answering in good faith : )

the one in the 60HE is the GD32F303 (?)
you can go look up spec sheets and stuff if you're interested

the manual got 800+ pages

better get reading

It's a lot of diagrams, so it's basically a picture book ;)

nice
