Wooting 80HE Plate options with Foam and Silicone

[junior chasm]

I would like to know if you guys are thinking of having different plate materials such as PC, POM, FR4, Carbon Fiber, Steel, Brass, or Aluminum, just to name a few. I would also like to ask if it's possible to have white variants to be able to better reflect any lighting from underneath the keycaps! The 60HE+ does it very well with its PC and Steel plates. Additionally we can get foam and silicone for underneath the module too as accessories from the Wooting store? I feel like I would need a stiffer, less flexy surface for gaming and general typing based on my preference but to each their own or perhaps in collaboration with other sites? Just some ideas :)

im p certain there wont be any options for that since module is running PC while the prebuild is running steel

I would like a black PC or POM plate add on, CF would be neat too but cost to manufacture would be higher.

i thought the prebuilt on the 80HE and module were both Polycarbonate?

[graceful quiver]

They are.

[junior chasm]

then why did someone say prebuilt with steel?

[graceful quiver]

Maybe he thought you were talking about the 60HE, I’m not sure.

[junior chasm]

oh yeah I was talking about the 80HE taking inspiration from the 60HE, but I think if wooting isnt gonna do it (understandable), maybe someone else can partner with wooting?

Wait what i thought it was steel wtf

Cuz i saw the livestream on it, ig itz just me then

[junior chasm]

would be nice to have more plate options you can buy seperately from wooting or other retailers in collaboration with wooting

[graceful quiver]

Maybe KBDFans will make a CF plate for the 80HE too.

I could see Woot adding other plastic plates but brass and cf not so sure

[thick scaffold]

A brass plate would be a little bit too much

[junior chasm]

im all down for a white steel plate sorta like the 60HE+ plate but for the 80HE

so it will nicely reflect any light

[graceful quiver]

A rare steel enjoyer :O, I hope if they make a steel plate for the 80 that they fix the rusting issue and properly paint or coat the entire thing.

im also a steel enjoyer

I went metal x metal for the tofu with my steel plate a while back but the angle for the tofu is too high for me so ive decided to swap back to the stock till the optimum case comes out

[junior chasm]

im using the steel plate of my 60HE+ on my Black Alumaze and it feels fine

[junior chasm]

I'm glad you guys are for or at least are entertaining the idea for possible 80HE gasket mount plates of various materials :)

[fallow kayak]

Perhaps will try FR4, it’ll balance sound more with the silicone gasket

[junior chasm]

nice, also maybe a stiffer material with a white layer of paint? Thanks :)

[fallow kayak]

Perhaps aluminum

[junior chasm]

intriguing proposal, just need it to reflect the RGB just like the 60HE(+) did, it just looks so fine. white alu perhaps?
