Wooting 80HE Review | All HYPE???

[@DreamingPhenom]

Well, I just found your channel and the first video I watched left me jawdropped. This is easily the highest quality peripheral reviewer on KZbin. I hope you review every single peripheral that I ever even just remotely consider to get. Insane!

[@NimVim]

Wouldve gotten the 80HE if it was released before the 60he. Recently started feeling wrist pain so I'm going the ergo split keyboard route now! :)

[@TheRageAcademy]

I could never go ergo. Update us and let us know how you like it!

[@grumblegames5839]

I just got mine last night. A couple things to comment. First my space bar doesn't have that ping. It's actually one of the better sounding space bars I've had and definitely the best stock one. Second, I was able to update using my normal USB C cable so not sure what was going on with that for you. Great video! I'm stoked to see what other features they add.

[@melissalamfalusi8208]

Its hard to describe the LEDs but they look amazing. Its hard to describe these without glaze but Ive never seen anything like this before. just wow.

[@Icancontrolit]

watching this with the board sitting right on my desk and as you said, the RGB on this keyboard is something else. Sometimes I just tilt it up and look straight down at it just from how good it looks. The best way to describe it is it doesn't look like individual leds and more like an orchestra of light(crazy glaze). but the per key functions still work great on it. And its also a beast for gaming especially in the rhythm game scene cause I'm now able to play maps which were wayyyy out of field for me X)

[@TheRageAcademy]

Well said. You can definitely tell they’re quality LEDs

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

I just got the raw metal case version today, and it is everything I ever wanted.

[@kemovekeyboard]

Thanks for your introduction,Nice video , and about the puller is useful hahah

[@NotaUnfamiliar]

Since I play mostly competitive games I’ve been dying to get a 60he but for the soul fact I can’t play binding of Issac without the arrow keys I never got one… the 80HE is my time

[@JimSefton]

Gotta say, the most worrying thing I har on this video (echo'd by other reviewers) is the reliance on the included cable. Considering how often cables go bad this is a concern for me. Be interesting to get an official answer from Wooting on this.

[@TheRageAcademy]

If I get time, I want to test it with the 60HE cable and the TwoHE cable and see if it rejects the update with those. It would be interesting if it does

[@grumblegames5839]

I just got mine yesterday and didn't have this issue. I was able to update with the same cable I was using with my previous keyboard.

[@Aerobrake]

This is not hype, it is a dream come true.

[@TimotheusHorn]

Great video mate! Small correction, the images on the PCBA were chosen by the Wooting team. The images on the 60HE PCBA were the ones chosen by founders of the 60.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks for the correction!

[@airbornesnow4541]

3:01 instantly recognized the nuphy air 60/75/90! i should probably go outside...

[@yval8957]

Saw someone put sound dampening material in the space bar, changed the sound signature a good amount...

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@yval8957 I actually tried that but didn’t put it in the video. I used some of the foam that comes in the stab lube syringe box and it didn’t make a difference for me :( I ended up cutting it

[@esmh]

i like the ping, kinda feel like the garand ping sound

[@TheRageAcademy]

Hahaha, I know exactly what you’re talking about. I can see that

[@kaz0271]

I ordered some pudding pbt keycaps for my 80he. to my surprise....the pinging sound has all but disappeared. the spacebar in particular, is definitely denser than the wotting stock offering. I'm actually pretty happy with the way these cheap AliExpress keys sound. Really nice sound profile and nice feel. But if you like the stock offering, you can always get dampeners for the space bar, they offer several different materials, happy hunting :)

[@TheRageAcademy]

I’ll have to try this. I have some pudding keycaps laying around…

[@ZeroChoices]

11:34 did you make a mistake in editing here? lol

[@TheRageAcademy]

Probably. I make editing mistakes all the time lol

[@coyotex850]

if you think ripping the switches off the 80he is hard thank your stars you never had to remove them from an og reddragon keyboard, i'd rather spend my life trying to lift thor's hammer than go through that again

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@coyotex850 hahah, you legit got me the lol. It was that bad? Here I thought this was a tight top plate!

[@coyotex850]

@@TheRageAcademy yea it used a steel plate and mechanical switches so there was zero give...by the time i was done the metal on my switch puller was so deformed shit was lookin like a corkscrew lmao

[@ManishHittalmani]

@TheRageAcademy The firmware update only with the manufacturer provided USB cable is something I have experienced with the Logitech Superlight 2 I have. Never seen anything like it before

[@TheRageAcademy]

Isn’t it weird? It means the cable must be serialized on some level to verify updates or something

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

​@@TheRageAcademy for what it's worth I upgraded the firmware on my 80 he today and I plugged the stock cable to a USB extender cable that I use for easy keyboard switching and I didn't have any problems.

[@zippyreaper]

Amazing channel that deserves more love and support. You need to look up methods on how to make your videos pop up more often and I would recommend rebranding. You want a name and logo that matches your content, and as attached as you may be with your current branding, it doesn't really scream "reliable tech review channel"

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thanks for the compliment. Name stays though lol. There’s a ba-jillion “X-tech” channels and only one Rage Academy. In the future, we’re going to explore outside of tech reviews a bit

[@damjan4122]

Any suggestions for the budget keyboard for like 40 euros max? I'm also looking for a mouse and im thinking about attack shark x3, x11 and kysona m600, which should i get?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Oh jeez. Are you looking for any specific features like Hall effect switches or just something reliable for the price?

[@damjan4122]

@TheRageAcademy well for the mouse i recently bought ms nemesis m900 but in the last few days it started lagging and im looking to refund it and buy a new mosue

[@damjan4122]

@TheRageAcademy and for the keyboard i got a white shark keyboard(GK-2106 i think is the model, red switches), i got it like a year ago but some buttons like A, S, D sometimes dont work until u click them really hard and im looking to buy a new one too( ive been looking at aula f75 but dont know how good the keyboard is)

[@damjan4122]

@TheRageAcademy also i didnt mention it in previous comments, it doesnt need to have any specific features since cs2 wont allow snap tap and those kind of features for keyboards, so just something that is good for the price of 40-50 euros

[@user-ms2di3cb6p]

Hey bro, can you do a review for ATTACK SHARK R6 and ATTACK SHARK X87?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Eventually. A lot is up to bat right now

[@Deatomizer]

What is it with the right hand one finger typing? Highly inefficient :)

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@Deatomizer inefficient is my middle name

[@Chewlabs]

Review Madlions MAD 60HE next

[@TheRageAcademy]

If heard the stir about that one. It’s the blatant 60HE ripoff right?

[@markus301]

That keyboard isn't good

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@markus301 I doubt it holds a candle to any Wooting board, honestly. Usually if something is too cheap to be good, then that’s usually the case

[@Chewlabs]

@@markus301 having a great experience so far

[@Chewlabs]

@@TheRageAcademy i have the MAD 68 R version. I tested it using a keyboard inspector and it is true 8k polling rate

[@ronald0122]

l45 or l60 for gaming?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Is this a desk? I’m not sure what you mean

[@ronald0122]

@TheRageAcademy the switches. Lekker 45 or 60 better for gaming.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Ooooooh. I thought that was an “i” not and “L” All personally preference man. If you have a heavier touch then the 60’s. You could mix and match though. For example have WASD be the L45’s and everything else be the L60

[@ianskinner1619]

sticking with my AKKO mod 007 HE, getting the wooting was not worth it in Canada. The shipping costs and wait time that was not clarified at any time , was stupid,, also the price was almost 2.5x the AKKO

[@TheRageAcademy]

007he is good though. It’s a got a great sound. I’d say it sounds better than the Wooting boards.

[@EverTechReviews]

I’ve been enjoying my 80he, but the build feels cheap overall. Wooting should be at least on par with Nuphy build quality.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Do you have the PCR variant?

[@EverTechReviews]

@ that I do, I have the case from KBD fans on order though

[@TheRageAcademy]

@ oh, I’ve heard about those. I’m happy to see there’s starting to be third party case support. You’ll have to update us all and tell us if you like it when you install everything

[@EverTechReviews]

@@TheRageAcademy will do!

[@rexyfixy9812]

Waiting for 8k subs for 2025 or more than 8k

[@TheRageAcademy]

Not getting there in 2024… he’s to 2025, happy new year man!!

[@BlueEyesWhiteViera]

Honestly, I would've preferred if they dropped the LED bar entirely for 2 additional buttons for End/Home.

[@TheRageAcademy]

That’s an interesting take. Are you an editor? I use my home/end keys all the time editing

[@PedroHDSS]

overrated keyboard, you can get a better one for less.

[@Syranox]

Depends on what you're talking about. Looks? Feeling? Design? Maybe, yeah. But if you're looking specifically for the rapid trigger feature, it's currently the best on the market. A couple other companies have tried to replicate it, but not quite nailed it.

[@TimotheusHorn]

What keyboard(s) are you talking about Mr Pedro?

[@TheRageAcademy]

I am also curious
