One correction since I've seen FPS gamers widely misusing the term. SOCD always exists. It's just that the default SOCD implementation that the game uses is being overridden/bypassed. Thanks for the video.

[@HugoElders]

I've been using my zinc 80he pre order for a week now. Its an insane keyboard tbh, very premium though I do feel like the wobble on the stock lekkers is not up to the overall quality feel of the rest. They sound very satisfying, but I will upgrade them rather soon I suspect. Would 100 percent recommend even at 300 EUR price point

[@ImOothman]

what are the advantages for zinc over the plastic? is it just how nice it feels?

[@HugoElders]

@@ImOothman I haven't tried an abs plastic 80 he, so I can't say for myself. Apparently, the zinc case does make it sound a litte different. If you want a solid base I'd say go with the zinc alloy. It makes the keyboard feel a lot better quality.

[@YasukeNakamoto]

What switches are you thinking about swapping for

[@kelownatechkid]

After using the board for a while (and a 60he owner among many other keyboards) I love it. It's just what I wanted from the 60he - a few more keys! The other improvements are handy too but minor.

I have a zinc one. Feels extremely good out of the box.

I wish they'd also do a 100% version, I like having a numpad. You can bind buy commands to a numpad or if you use your keyboard for other games or just doing other things being able to have additional real estate is a nice addition for me.

I agree the pricing is steep in some cases, but let's just remind that this is a very small company compared to Logitech etc. They need to scale up the volumes massively in order to enable lower pricing.
