Wooting 80HE - Finalized RAW case & Mass Production Dates

Wooting 80HE wooting.io/wooting-80he
Development of the RAW case has taken longer than anticipated, but we have finalized its design after extensive experimentation. Additionally, the development of the Wooting 80HE has encountered a delay of 3-4 weeks. We apologize for any disappointment this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we take this time to improve the overall quality of the product.

I cannot wait for my wooting adhd

[@stewie7thst42]

I’m not fussed about the delivery dates. I just appreciate the updates. I don’t know many other companies who have this much engagement with the customers

[@UnofficialSno]

I love the transparency and constant communication with these guys. Such a breath a fresh air from all the greedy corporations

[@ARTiSHOCKI]

Thansk Mr. Calder for the update! Most important is that the product is on the bestest quality!

[@peanutbutterbean1738]

0:58 something about 'a delayed game is eventually good but a rushed game will always be bad' id rather wait a bit longer and know i will be much more happy with the end product than get it a month earlier and never be as satisfied with it as i would have been had the i waited for all the little details to get properly sorted out. Love what you guys are doing, thanks for always being so transparent and informative

[@Calslock]

Hoping for Rejected RAW Limited Edition in the future, I love that finish so much💕

[@StephenMcGregor1986]

I love How-It's-Made style videos. Can't wait for the factory tours, that is cool asf

[@Deffinnition]

VERY excited! Let's go!!!

[@okim1337]

I love it how close and direct to the community You are. Im glad I picked my 80HE in preorder to fund such a great project. GLHF

[@christiansoto6396]

this is the only brand channel I enjoy keeping up with 🐐

[@dahuman]

Omg the raw case looks sick! 😯

[@Aerobrake]

As long as you guys exceed expectations like usual then take your time! Good thing take time

[@brettzolstick989]

I think the raw case is super unique. Having it tarnish over time is really cool imo.

[@bskibinski]

No rush here, I bought from you guys because of the company culture and transparency and frequent updates, keep it up! :)

[@pazuzuardens9135]

This looks rad and I'm happy to see ya'll doubling down on quality over quantity.

[@bazookatier]

Quality over delivery timeline is the way. A bad product debut remains bad while delays are forgotten with time.

[@KaledTV]

Is the black and white zin alloy case going to have a thicker coating? asking because I might prefer the more durable version over the cool looking case :D

[@re-gaming3913]

"good delivery date" I've been waiting for over 3 months, i can wait another one or two, take your time❤

[@leoclacks]

can't wait to build my wooting!

[@RotkeilMC]

The raw looks so good!

[@standeely]

I love the finish, the imperfections remind me of wood-grain, it's cool that each one of them will be slightly different.

[@mataznuiz]

yeah would be cool if we got that textured raw case later down the line maybe. not counting on it of course. happy with my order!

[@Wooting]

Really difficult to make it happen with the extruding lip on the side. It just doesn't cover the case perfectly the entire way. So for this case, it won't happen. But we will look into it for cases that might be more suitable shape-wise.

[@LyK0sa]

It's a shame you're not going with the tumbled finish raw case, but the reasons are understandable. Looks like I'll be sticking with my original black order. Looking forward to getting it in hand.

[@willruss]

I couldn’t decide between raw and the black. I went black zinc but would probably buy a messed up raw finish case if you guys sold seconds. Excited to get my board

[@AlexPedersen123]

Can't wait for my wooting HYPE

[@egg6314]

everyone is chill with wooting delivery dates because unlike other companies Atleast we know they will deliver a good product

[@drScorp1on]

Lol Calder in cs_office is a nice pun

[@Vaznazza]

the hardest part is waiting!

[@Grimlo9ic]

That rejected raw sample looks sandblasted. You're giving me ideas on what to do with mine once I get it!

[@Wooting]

The rejected sample is a tumbling process ;)

[@TonyNguyen-it7vd]

Good thing Im traveling so the long delivery date won't bother me. Should arrive when I get back 😛

[@explosif101]

Now I'm happy 😊

[@Ico938]

Not sure if it's the lighting at Computex or the new coating, but it looks a lot duller and more matte. Really loved the way the case looked at computex.

[@Wooting]

Lighting is also a bit different in the video. But it did become a bit more matte, indeed. I've asked Calder, but he said it is a quite interesting smooth look.

[@RayCrush2008]

Unfortunately I am a full sized keyboard type of guy and won’t get to experience the 80he but I am glad to support by buying the two HE, a company that gives a fuck about the customers

[@markaceto]

I was anticipating a slip from July to Sep, so no surprises there. The nice thing about Wooting is they take pride in their product, so we’re not Batch 1, 2, 3 beta testers for them to drastically change Batch 4 like Finalmouse would do us.

[@Wooting]

Calder doesn't appreciate the art. 😭 Next time there will be an office update, I will see what else I can put in there. :P

[@BSD5721]

Take your time, I'd rather have a quality product versus a rushed sub par one.

[@XQ01LoL]

How long will the % sales last on the switches, cases etc. for the Wooting80HE?

[@More_Row]

You should partner with some factory in Taiwan instead of the mainland.

[@AuriSG]

you should avoid getting political when it comes to your gaming peripherals

[@StarComet7]

​@@AuriSGWhy? Everything is political, especially when it comes to production in cheaper countries.

While i didn't get a Zinc Alloy case i'm really sad that the last design didn't end up being that

[@inspire1ove]

still no sound test for the metal case?

[@wile123456]

Can you do a sound demonstration between typing on the plastic and zinc case?

[@gucky4717]

Ohhh, its early October now...one month later.

[@Z4HW4Y]

anyone know what key profile this would be if i wanted a custom keycap set

[@StephenMcGregor1986]

Ordered in June, has been delayed by a month twice now. I'm still in for when ever it eventually rocks up. Just letting people know is all. Rappy Snappy upon release would be decent.

[@Wooting]

Appreciate it!

[@Omarock]

Will there be a full sized keyboard with 8k polling?

[@ohnoez078]

Estimated deilvery date early october - feels bad man :(

[@BTCKYLE]

Can I add/edit my original founders order? I want to add the metal chassis!!!

[@de_aar]

would be cool if you guys offered other aspects of the keyboard (i.e. key caps, wrist rest, cables, etc...) that match the color/theme of the raw case...

[@razorgarf]

low-profile keys, thank you

[@gregm1855]

Estimated October with expedited shipping? Oofff that’s rough.

[@ernestogf7294]

Anyone knows how much taxes i will have to pay here in mexico if i ordered the zinc black one

[@RitzyBusiness]

Cant wait to get the 80 so I can stop using my jank setup to get function row.

[@charlesa3505]

I got the plastic one. this is the first "customizable " keyboard ever

[@benjaminsmith3209]

I’m very excited for the keyboard, however in the Wooting hub it estimates the delivery date for my 80he as late October, yet it seems from this updated timeline mass production will arrive at the warehouse much sooner. Is there a chance it will come sooner than late October?

[@Wooting]

This is possible if you ordered the 80HE at a later point and have gotten into Batch 2 together with a slower delivery courier. The dates given in the video are for our first batch. All the dates are still an estimate, anything can still happen.

[@benjaminsmith3209]

@@Wooting That makes sense, thanks for the response.

[@ETrys]

So sad to see everything Sander had up in the office taken down lol. Edit: I just noticed the whole first screen is edited in lmao.

[@alu1094]

Quick question, will there be ever keyboards with any ISO Italian layout in the future?

[@amshermansen]

We have offered ISO keyboards since our first keyboard in 2017. And we still offer every single keyboard we make in ISO.

[@alu1094]

@@amshermansenmy bad, I was talking about the Italian layout in the specific but forgot to mention it somehow.

[@amshermansen]

Italian isn't a layout - it is a language. Italian uses ISO, which we've always offered. Italian keycaps however is not something we currently offer, or have announced any plans to do so. :)

[@rollingmango]

Need Wooting-time machine

[@Vaznazza]

hey wooting, would I be able to use my custom coiled cable with the 80he?

[@amshermansen]

In theory, yes. With all settings turned up to max? That depends on the quality and length of the cable. Our usual warning about signal issues still stands.

[@paul2609]

@@amshermansen Hi, like with Razer mice they have a polling rate checker for mice, particularly those that supports >1Khz. I think it would be cool if Wooting creates a polling rate checker for keyboards too so we can determine what are good cables or not.

[@amshermansen]

It's not really about polling rate as much as just overall signal stability. Having your LEDs turned up high, or enabling Tachyon mode can trigger instability and random typing on our existing keyboards. The 80HE will be no different in this regard - Cheap cables (especially long, coiled ones) are more prone to low quality.

[@micatalyst]

the keyboards will be buggless? like its being launched now for the first time but i want to be sure i will be safe once it arrives

[@Wooting]

We cannot rule out anything, but we do strive for a bug and hassle free experience. We do a lot of testing and updating right now with our 80HE to make sure it is as perfect as it gets. If we experience any issues that will ruin the experience for our consumers, we immediately delay the launch. This is why we also do the Production Validation Tests, as this will give us a clear image to see if on scale things are produced the way they should be.

[@liiich6175]

For people with decent keyboards all ready but want to consider a wooting for gaming...any plans for a gamepad style board?. Just the left part of a keyboard that is used for gamers

[@D0WnL0DeR]

Delivery went from July to September in my order, faaaakk me

[@Ocelot1937]

Same.

[@deedonhulu9721]

i like the 60% layout, but the thing is im afraid that the 80he is better and if i got the 60he i will be missing out, so are there any real differences besides the obvious 60%- 80% layouts?

[@de_aar]

diff polling rates

[@Wooting]

Besides the layout and polling rates, the 80HE is also build with a gasket mount instead of a tray mount. So this definitely improves the overall acoustics of the board. But then again, the 60HE does have a lot more options when it comes down to customization of all kinds of third party cases if you are into that.

[@deedonhulu9721]

⁠@@de_aarisnt 8khz polling rate a gimmick?

[@Dirty_Hobo]

I rather have my 80HE delayed than have an imperfect product, even tho it hurts a little bit inside to wait longer. keep up the quality work jongens

[@dummiesdummies4195]

What about the normal zinc cases? It’s been way too long since the first delay. Now it’s even estimated October. Raw case are great but what about our normal cases 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Wooting]

Normal cases are all done.

[@MrDuwde]

product > delivery date right decision

I’m super stoked for my KB to arrive and I understand you guys are working hard…BUT…can you *please* integrate/collaborate with Wallpaper Engine?

I will forward your feedback to the team!

Yoo please make a ISO-CH layout for us from 🇨🇭

[@paul2609]

I live in Australia but mine is part of the European batch for some reason, is that normal?

Yes. We don't have an Australia or Oceania warehouse. Europe is where we ship all AU and NZ orders from. :)

Taking your time is something the industry as a whole not limited to Keyboards should go back to and Just Focus on making great Quality products. Im rather waiting for longer knowing you guys aren't rushing it and cutting back on build Quality for it. Love the frequent updates and being able to experience what problems you guys are dealing with

[@stonnyj]

I rather wait longer for a better product

[@justinwoo03]

How does the zinc alloy case affect the sound of the board? Can we possibly get a sound comparison?

[@Somtric]

Dno why people would get the raw case... it doesn't look good and it's basically just a shiny grey... but congrats to those who bought it, nothing better than a new keyboard that looks like you've previously spilled on it.

[@UnofficialSno]

I think it’s mostly the unique appeal, I haven’t seen anyone else try to make a raw metal case and I appreciate wootings drive to push these boundaries

[@brettzolstick989]

I want my keyboard to tarnish, that would be awesome. What other keyboard does that?

[@Somtric]

@@UnofficialSno You know why nobody has? Because nobody asked for it. Hey, if people want to buy it, they just should, that's all on them.. personally I just see no point in making a hard production process for a grey keyboard that will turn brown over time, that they can call "raw". They could literally just have made it the way they make the others and given it the same paint job, but with the "raw" look. The whole thing seems rather pointless and like a huge waste of time and money.

[@Somtric]

@@brettzolstick989 I hope you will be happy with it, but I personally do not see the appeal of this one.
