What are the reasons that a 75% keyboard is not coming?

reef charm Feb 10, 2025, 2:21 PM

#

Because its economically stupid atm

#

Not if a lot of people want it, I think we are not the only ones.

#

Why should i get a 75% when they ve already released a 80%? And what is the benefit?

rocky flint What are the reasons that a 75% keyboard is not coming?

Because wooting founders have to agree

A 75HE saves space but still offers all the important keys and more mouse freedom - ideal for gamers and minimalists. The compact layout improves ergonomics and aesthetics, while the trend is clearly towards smaller keyboards. A 75HE would meet this demand.

Nice chatgpt answer

it is not a cahtGPT this accusation alein I find respeklos

#

I would like to ask wooting what you think of this as I think a 75U keyboard would be good for many customers as personally I would always lean towards a 75% keyboard rather than an 80% keyboard.

#

the reason we went with our current 80he layout over 75% is that people can buy virtually any keycap set that fits a tkl without needing to look out for special row height keys for the home cluster

#

Ich glaube, es gibt inzwischen eine Menge Tastenkappen-Sets, die zu 75 % passen. Also ist es vielleicht nicht mehr so ein großes Problem.

#

oh sry

#

I think there are a lot of keycap sets out there now that fit 75% layouts. So maybe it's not such a big problem anymore.

#

well given we now have smth that saves space over a traditional fullsize and we havent announced any plans for a board between 60% and 80% i wouldnt hold my breath for anything between the 2

#

Ok I admit defeat but can I then buy the PCB from the 80HE separately as I need it for a cpustem keyboard which is also the reason why I want a 75% as I can't find a good case for an 80% do you have an option?

plain surge Feb 10, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

both the 60he and 80he are available as modules. currently you cant order just an 80he module due to the lack of third party cases you noticed yourself

#

im also unsure how you wanna make the custom keyboard without a case though

yes, that's right. sorry to say it like this, but for me personally, the wooting case just looks like shit

plain surge Feb 10, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

thats fine and nothing to be sorry about. we are aware that we cant make the 1 case to rule them all as that just would never be able to exist.

zenith maple Feb 10, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

i prefer the case of the wooting 60 he because i like the classic design more, on the other hand i like the 80% layout more

Do you have a possible solution as I can't find a suitable enclosure for the 80U at the moment? Do you have an enclosure that we could use? I have an idea but I'm not sure if it will fit. Could you tell me if it will fit?
