Owlabs 80HE Case When?

[sturdy walrus]

Owlabs 60HE is back in stock as per the post in the announcements channel but I would really love to see or hear confirmation of a Owlabs 80HE case being released!

I love the beige and haven't been able to find any other beige case for the 80HE. The fact that Owlabs is already doing a collaboration with you would be so much better than me buying the Zinc Alloy case in raw and priming/spraying it myself - that and I don't want to do anything that could void the warranty. So buying it as the colour I want already is a much nicer experience for someone like myself who does consider the warranty and longevity of a product.

• Plus the 60HE version is absolutely gorgeous!

Please release an 80HE beige Owlabs case!

I would like to input, neo80he cu

[true comet]

[jaunty glade]

yea ik

i doubt wooting would

[true comet]

Also it is up to qk

[jaunty glade]

ngl i think qk would do it

in a heartbeat

[true comet]

You mean up to owlab?

[jaunty glade]

yea

[true comet]

If owlab wantedit cheaper. They would go with qk brand before

[jaunty glade]

their collab with atk is qk

they also have their own in house neo hall effect coming up

[true comet]

And most of hex80 is qk case

[jaunty glade]

imho if they can just focus on the cases and leave the software and the market popularity to wooting for a neo he series they would

[true comet]

Though it wouldnt be a budget brand anymore

[jaunty glade]

its just the most popular line and most ideal for a collab

Whats last ow keyboard before ow60?

[jaunty glade]

i honestly have 0 clue lol

i just know they have an alice coming out that i dig

owlabs vento probably

[jaunty glade]

i know it would be quite ex compared to other neos, but for wooting buyers which is significantly more, its the best reasonable upgrade

I had a look at it but the case layout is for more traditional 80% keyboards. Where as the Wooting 80HE is more like a 75% board. With the “function” keys are only 2 keys wide compared to traditional 3 keys wide (what the neo layout is).

I just feel that there needs to be more love for the 80 as there was (and still is) for the 60.
By expanding its case selection to include more colours, more collaborations and allow for cases on the 80he to have a strap would just elevate the user experience and I believe expand their customer base to those that want the 80he (size/layout) but with all the perks of the 60 (colours, strap, collabs.)

oh no i meant a new case for the 80he
