Is it worth going for the zinc alloy case

[rustic wing]

I play many games, competitive, offline, shooters, etc. I am not really looking forward to changing keyboard anytime soon once I get my hands on the 80he and I don't really care about looks or sounds. I was wondering if it's really worth giving that extra 80 bucks or so for the zinc alloy instead of the PCR plastic in the long run. Am I going to regret getting it if I do? or will it be money well spent

it's pretty much preference, the plastic case is in no means bad. and if you feel the need of the zinc case in the future you are able to just order the case and swap it out. so if you aren't really sure yet and want to save money, you can go with plastic and take a look at the outlet store from wooting

if you dont care about looks or sound no

[rustic wing]

well is there really any difference except sound and looks between the two? because I also read it's heavier which I don't know if it would be helpful in any aspect of gaming

[covert obsidian]

well it is a different material. in aspect of performance it is the same tho

zinc is 2.3kg iirc

[rustic wing]

does the keyboard being heavier make a difference somewhere in gaming or nah

[covert obsidian]

no. it is just heavier to move around

alright thanks for the info
