Wooting 80 HE Review, Mods + Sound Test + Gateron Jade Max

[@ChinchillaBONK]

This video is SUPER underrated. Easily the best overall review of a HE keyboard. Each portion of your video can be a separate video by its own. It's that good. The review of HE switches comparison was also very good

[@mikeytypes]

Thank you! Tried my best but yeah I definitely forgot some points to put in the video next time will have to do better

[@Yuriy2600]

I was wondering if you would be willing to make a custom one for me. I want the best wooting out there so no expenses spared and I think you would be able to have an entertaining video out of it. Let me know if that interests you and what you would do. I'm partial to black color scheme and am looking at using GMK interstellar keycaps as I haven't seen anyone use them at all anywhere.​@mikeytypes

[@masontheartist]

Great job on the extensive sound test. Generally people know what the wooting is capable of preformance wise, but not everyone goes into how to make it sound the best!

[@mikeytypes]

Thank you! 😊

[@DustyTDI]

Seriously Mikey does an amazing job at the sound test. He is my go to for videos and content on just this, the sound, something most folks really fly by, but when you are shelling out this much money, you want to know how much you are going to love or hate the sound! Thanks Mikey!

@@DustyTDI thank you! Glad the sound tests are good! Once my channel grows and I can fund better equipment I do plan to try and get an even better mic hoping to get like a stage instrument mic which maybe more accurate to the ear

I've replaced my 60HE and at first I did need to get used to the extra keys and size but now I'm not going back hehe. I've used the arrow keys already more than I ever did.. and even the F keys on the top row instead of using fn and... When I do see all the customisation that's possible I'm almost regretting the fact I did buy the preassembled founder's edition of the black Zinc Alloy but still...

[@kkk23424]

@@mikeytypes do you know of any brand that sells shock absorbers to glue them and reduce the sound a little?

[@Luke_]

Hi there, just wanted to say this was a fantastic review, really well made. Was wondering, do you know if it's possible to make the Wooting Two sound just as thocky as this? I bought some foam from amazon and put it with the existing stock foam but it felt like it made no difference. Does the 80HE have more room under the PCB for foam or something? I barely had any room when I added mine in

[@mikeytypes]

@@Luke_ thank you! I took a look at the Two HE on the Wooting channel just to see if I could get a rough estimate on how much room there was it does seem like very little room available kinda like the 60HE. My suggestion would be maybe try adding some cotton type foam on the bottom that is able to be compressed easily. The next I would do is tape the bottom of the PCB. The 80HE zinc case has decent room on the bottom I found to easily modify it. For the Two HE I would test how many layers I am assuming about 2-3 layers would be the limit but you can try more. Lube the switches and yeah if you have like cotton balls try adding some on the bottom

[@Luke_]

@@mikeytypes Thanks for the advice! So I already did a tape mod (4 layers) and bought some cotton balls to spread out under the PCB. It's kinda worked? What I found to improve the thockiness was to actually not screw the plate in all the way to give some space under it. Doesn't sound as good as good as your Geon Raws demonstration and feels a bit hollow but oh well lol, it's still nice to use. Part of me wants to give my Two HE to my brother for Christmas and get myself an 80HE but I'm struggling to justify it since I only bought this back in August 😭

[@mikeytypes]

@@Luke_ oh that's completely fair! Yeah, the thing is because mine is with the Zinc case and the way the whole keyboard is built with so much space on the bottom it allowed me to modify it quite a bit more. The 80HE is great, but the only issue at the moment is that currently there is a software issue it seems with using the 8k mode. I do like it, but I am still waiting on better Magentic switches to release.

[@TristanPope]

Do you prefer to use a hall effect as your everyday keyboard or do you swap for what ya do. I.E. Gaming vs Work? I am attempting to find the ultimate "does it all" keeb (through a lot of modding haha)

[@mikeytypes]

That’s fair it’s really difficult when it comes to all around if you want the best of both worlds. I am constantly reviewing new boards every week so I use a custom and when I’m reviewing I also will game with it to see how it is. I prefer my Wooting for gaming though and if I had to just use one on my main desk it would be the 80HE. But a great custom I used for both was the GX87 ultra with the Akko rosewood switches

[@Cyrtox]

Man... why does noone test the switches in the exact same spot? Like put them all on the W key and cut the video so that you can hear them one after the other! Putting them next to each other does not really help since every key sounds different! Also it would have been interesting to see the difference in RGB between the Max and other switches. For example vs the Lekker 60 v2 or maybe even compare whether the housing color (e.g. the Jade Pro) changes the colors.

[@mikeytypes]

@@Cyrtox that’s fair as I did a full sound test I wasn’t trying to do more of the sound test like that after but something I can consider for the next time. Yeah I forgot to do the back lighting test I’ll make sure to do it for the next vid

[@Cyrtox]

​@@mikeytypes Thanks for the answer. You still made a great review! I am just a bit disenchanted because every single sound test I find ignores this. The general sound tests are fine, however to identify the slight differences, especially between similar switches, using the identical key is important. Would be great if you could make a very short video with all those switches for a single key. 😅

Hi bro i have a few question since i am modding my 80he as well 1. What sound dampener are you using? (Is that the car sound insulation ?) 2. When you put the sound dampener on the case base do u just leave it on without applying the adhesive from the dampener? Or u did stick it to the base of the case?

[@mikeytypes]

It is car sound insulation! I don’t take off the adhesive just because I may be changing it out for other things I find in the future. Of course taking off the adhesive is much better and much more effective. One thing though is I think if you add the dampener and then tape Mod the back too it’ll sound really good. I would say at least two layers

[@李世民-z7n]

@@mikeytypes Thanks for the response to my question ! and also i forgot to ask about the jade pro switches . is lubing them worth it ? heard some people said that the switches it self is already well-lubed can you tell me what is your experience for lubing them vs stock lubes ?

Hi! For the 80HE, between the L45, L60, and normal Gateron Jade which one would you choose? All of them are available from Wooting, but the Gateron Jades cost 3 times more. Are they worth? Or maybe get something else, like gateron jade pros, or like Geonworks Raw HE i saw you made a review of?

[@mikeytypes]

@@Aggiblr yeah I would say either the Raw or Jade pro if you want less stem wobble. For a more clean sound the Raw HE. For quieter deeper sound the Lekker v2 I choose the l45 because I like it lighter

[@lllmywz348]

From the Q&A sections for Gateron on Taobao it seems like the Gateron max is effectively a pro with transparent parts for better lighting effects. There are talks that the new jades have solved the issue with disconnects at 0.1mm actuation distance for the older generation. Would it be possible to confirm this?

@@Aerobrakethat’s good you like them! The couple flaws it has really only is for those who would be constantly changing switches

[@Aerobrake]

yeah after using them for a week they are probably the nicest looking and sounding but damn they are not good to use at all. they have so much stepping friction even at a slight off axis slow press/releases. i really hope its not fundamentally flawed and this can be fixed in future batches. a lot of people have been noticing this issue with jade maxes. completely defeats the purpose of magnetic switches. also yeah the stems are very hard to seperate from the keycaps.

[@mikeytypes]

@@Aerobrake ohhh so it’s like not moving smoothly after a week of use? Hmm interesting I haven’t actually used mine much yet but that’s good to know thanks for the update! I’m trying to see at the moment if there is any Frankenswitch I can make that would be good

[@ros_coe]

For my 80HE, I’m thinking about getting new stabilizers and switches. I’m looking for switches that are well factory-lubed since I’d prefer not to lube them myself. First, what would you recommend based on that? Say I go with Jade Pros/raws, I’d choose the long-pole stabilizers, correct? However, if I stick with the Lekkers, would the standard ones be the right choice?

[@mikeytypes]

if you're going with the Jade Pros/ Raws I would suggest long pole stabilizers either the TX AP or the Knight V2. If you're looking to not have to lube possible the Raws would be a bit better than the Jade Pros. Both are good stock, but Raw I find are a bit better. If you use the Lekkers stick with non long pole

[@ZIZER]

Te luces con estos vídeos así, how cool! Thanks for all the effort, here we are watching you grow.

[@Palestine_vs_Nazisrael]

Don't you think that the zinc alloy adds to the bad sound? Seems like the plastic 80he sounds considerably better than the zinc alloy one, especially by dampening the rattling noise of the space bar. Overall, the zinc alloy case adds up to the rattling sound and gives an metallic echo. Would like to hear your perspective.

[@mikeytypes]

I would agree with you in terms of the spacebar, the metallic echo will definitely be what will cause it to echo more. I don’t have the PCR case so I can’t give an accurate comparison, but I like the weight from having a metal case. I would say though that a PCR case would bring out a deeper sound profile and less of that pinging sound from the space bar for sure, but I think with the modifications I made I don’t hear the metal pinging sound anymore

[@Palestine_vs_Nazisrael]

​@@mikeytypes With your modifications the plastic one would've sounded way better. Initially I wanted to buy the zinc alloy. But after listening to multiple sound tests, including wooting channel's own test, people were surprised to find out that plastic sounds considerably better. Love your fix of the bad stabilizers.

Everything I tried, ended with a slugggish laggy spacebar that felt sticky AF, tried even with 2 different switches and all the same (lekker 45 and ttc king of magnetic) Maybe they need a 65gr switches to be able to lift the spacebar without problems dunno. Thinking I made some mistake I couldn't see, I asked on discord and reddit and suddenly a lot of people with the same problem and stabs came. Not a single one said "they work fine for me", no, literally no one, everyone with problems. I don't know how you did it, or if you just don't spam the spacebar enough in games to notice it super slow and sluggish, but I wouldn't recomend the TX AP 1.6 screw long pole for this keyboard to my worse enemy. It makes every single key using them unusable for gaming.

Okay, so over time I started to have that issue with the TX stabilizers and I found a solution I can try making a video on them as well, but if you lube the padding wooting out on where the stabilizer housing sits because that’s the part that is making it sticky and then you don’t tighten the screw so much but keep it more loose it makes it smooth to game on. Sorry I really should have made an update video on that issue. Because I found that yeah using new stabilizers for the Wooting not just the TX but even the Knight V2 it gets sticky because of the padding they put

[@ronald0122]

For gaming lekker v2 or geon raw?

[@mikeytypes]

@@ronald0122 hmmm I would say it’ll come to personal pretense in terms of the feel. Both work well for gaming I currently use the l45 v2

[@ronald0122]

@mikeytypes i currently have lekker v1 60 on my 60he+ prebuild. I play a lot of tac fps games and i dont know changing from 60 to 45 v2 would be a good choice. I am considering the Geon Raw 50 Or Lekker V2 45/60. My actuation on most keys is 1.2

[@mikeytypes]

@ 45 does feel quite light I would say the Geon maybe your best choice if you’re looking for something new to try but feels smooth and sounds pretty good too. The RAW HE does have a higher pitched sound but is a good switch

[@wispjk]

Would the stabs u linked work for the 60he as well?

[@mikeytypes]

@@wispjk for the 60HE+ it would but not for the regular 60HE. I actually have a new video posted with other stabs I used for the 60HE

[@wispjk]

@@mikeytypes oops that’s what I meant. And thanks will check it out

[@wispjk]

Would u recommend screw in or clip in for the TX AP Long Pole stabs? Have geon raw hes with 40g if that matters.

[@mikeytypes]

@@wispjkI would say go with screw in ones but don’t think you need long pole but could possibly help. Though I’ve been heard people say the knight V2 is a better option

[@mikeytypes]

@@wispjk for the 60 I would just go with the Designer Studio Plate Mount ones I use them on my 60 and they work great and much cheaper

Yeah big skip for me I love the ones I already have since I started the hobby I’m at 3 keyboards in about a year would like a smoked poly cnc though

@@flylowe46m38 that’s fair the 80 though I have to admit is really nice for a Hall effect gaming board

@@mikeytypesit’s ugly though if they bring the 60e to a 65e where I could pick maybe I live my mode 65 new model though

[@n1coR]

Stock sounds like a 15$ Amazon keyboard..... wtf are they doing over at wooting

[@mikeytypes]

The stabilizer in the spacebar specifically just wasn’t done well which is unfortunate

[@XyAnimeGuy]

If I'm being honest that's how a lot of stock HE boards sound like to me

[@mikeytypes]

@@XyAnimeGuy which is completely fair. Compared to customs it’s not as good, but this time around I found my 80HE to sound actually good after fixing the stabilizers. Like comparing it with 5 other keyboards I built

[@XyAnimeGuy]

@@mikeytypes Yep I agree with you 👍🏽. I plan on changing to the same stabs

[@recon12803]

partly on wooting and partly on most HE switches due to design which is why most go with jades cause they have the traditional switch design that is closed and has a better sound
