It's pretty clear why Wooting keeps kicking a$$ with each of their releases... These guys are absolute PERFECTIONISTS!!! They sweat over the tiniest (but super important!) details that other much larger brands just gloss over.

[@glucoseatplay2828]

I know right? how much effort and thought go into designing a travel case? Wooting, knocking it out

[@mauritshagedorn856]

Can you guys PLEASE make a proper sound test between zinq and plastic. PLEASE.🙏🏼

[@naorisu]

They already did... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSmlImCZtZ0n80

[@CharcharoExplorer]

All 3 Zinc cases look really good. Please do update us once the White and Raw ones are fully final. I like the look of the raw one a lot but IDK if I can keep it in pristine condition. So I may go for white. But if you manage the final effort for making the Raw stronger... Just update us Wooting. Amazing work either way.

[@KaledTV]

When it comes to the raw zinc alloy case, I would honestly prefer longevity over a slight hit to the looks, part of the zinc alloy appeal at least to me is that this is a piece that could last with you for the rest of your life, something memorable that you could use and keep forever without having to babysit it.

[@IamMotionMedia]

I think the aging/patina of the raw alloy case over time will hopefully be one of the best qualities of this case, as it'll add uniqueness to every board.

[@Wooting]

Agreed, but hard to tell as there are no samples that have gone through the test of time yet.

[@ravencrow2129]

True, i've work with patinas before. It comes with different results depending on how long it was submerge into the patina(concentration of the solution, etc). Though if you wanna keep the raw look without using clear coat, you can always use wax coating to keep the metal from oxidizing. Edit: Wax coat helps protect the metal from most liquid/fingerprint stains too

[@Grimlo9ic]

I can't wait to see how artists will put their spin on the raw zinc with electroform or torch patinas! KneeDeep did a batch a year or so ago for the TYP60 keyboard and it was awesome.

[@Aerobrake]

passion project comes to life, truly a rare sight to behold ❤️❤️❤️

[@glucoseatplay2828]

Incoming new Wooting product......"Smacky-Fast Thingy"

[@n4sew680]

I am in shock what these guys are doing, BIG Respect for them. Can't wait to get one 🤯

[@Gen3DTech]

I am getting one of the testers. I will be testing and publishing results for around 35 different HE keyboards. I think this is really awesome for them to be doing this. I honestly only expect only a couple keyboards to come close to Wooting latency wise. Latency is only one aspect of judging a good gaming keyboard, but it probably the most important thing. The software is the next most important feature, and this is where Wooting is leading also. There are a couple others that are getting close, and that is also something that can improve over the life of whatever keyboard you choose. I believe picking a keyboard from a company that plans on activity developing and supporting that keyboard is also super important. Build quality, layout, how it feels and sounds are also important. Some get that part right but screw up the technical aspects, and others get the technical part right, but the keyboard it's self feels cheap. Lastly I would say the price of the board is also important. Some buyers may have a limited budget and a lot of the best keyboards will be out of their reach. There are definitely a few sub $100 keyboards that a decent, but if you can afford it, I do recommend going for a quality keyboard like a Wooting.

[@mikkebergman]

All those little nuances makes Wooting! Lets hear it THOCK :)

[@Kalyptic]

Wooting, please never stop Wooting!😀

[@Ico938]

Super happy with the Raw Zinc look except for the feet colour. Hope we can get something that matches the case better.

[@drScorp1on]

Really good thing to hear that you're close to really get to the end of the development process. Also, my black zinc alloy looks f*cking hotttttttttt.

[@DrachNyen-sg5ib]

I just spent wwwaaaayyy to much money preordering the top top top end 80HE with all the extras. Buuut this will probably be my forever keyboard. Can't wait to see it

[@drScorp1on]

Thanks for finally showing this!!!!!!

[@seyeRFunnnnn]

I'm so hyped for this keyboard. I can't wait to receive it.

[@xCyOfficial]

I bought myself a wooting 60he+ and I'm in love so I think I might aswell get the 80he and give my 60he+ to my younger cousin. Y'all make really nice keebs

[@chehsuntao]

can not wait any longer my man!!

[@ToroidalFoxCasual]

Since you have that modified keyboard testing rig, it would be helpful to check how much latency and deviation usb hubs add. (while other hub's port doing big data transfer as well) I've heard that it is sub millisecond, but haven't seen any sub millisecond precise tests.

[@trigger406]

that 80he raw case with the white keys is awsome...thats the one i ordered. you guys are awesome and your products are A+. keep up the good work.

[@princekittipon6510]

I dont see the raw option on website only plastic and zinc.

[@VeriStrawberi]

Wooting reminds me of Singer (a Porsche 911 modding company that makes super expensive beautiful and functional resto mods). Their motto is “Everything is Important” and Wooting seems to have the same motto

[@TerrifyiN_]

I love the concept of Rappy Snappy, I sometimes click W and D on accident but with Rappy Snappy, it will just have D active which is a win in my book!

[@mikerzisu9508]

I ordered the white with the kit. Can't wait

[@DanteSech]

I really like the raw concept and is what i ordered. The actual finish looks cool, a bit too shiny for my taste. My only concern is that i live in a high humidity country (75-90% almost all year), hopefully the final product will be more durable or at least will get a nice patina overtime.

[@B_M_A]

I wonder how ceramic coating the RAW case would be. Like not as a huge assembly line production thing but more so consumer thing. I haven't checked prices in forever but I feel like you could get a $20-30 bottle and completely/perfectly coat the raw case and this would 100% keep it safe from anything and clean up easier.

[@geraldsalas3213]

still savings for the zinc alloy combo for the free travel case... hope they can release other alloy case design like Tofu redux style

[@deedonhulu9721]

absolutely brilliant

[@SpenceSesh]

so much awesome stuff to look forward to from Wooting. Just got my 60HE+! When is the release of Rappy Snappy? can't wait to try it out!

[@Leonardo-wn2fp]

I do love the idea that the zinc case ages with you. That means every keyboard will become unique eventually and that's not a bad thing in the hobby, no? If you dislike it, you may buy a new one. But what I've been wondering was, if a clearcoat of any kind is an option? It would alter the feel, obviously, but also preserves the look, no? So could there be the option to have a clearcoated raw and a pure raw? So that people can decide what they want most - long lasting raw looks, or a truly evolving raw case.

[@explosif101]

happy to see the raw case in all its glory, wished it was slightly more protected

[@nazoooom]

Omg, the patina on the zinc alloy raw case will be amazing. What’s the release date?

[@DocGustavo]

Whats the led bar for? & any plans on adding a volume knob?

[@daffo911]

Can we get black rubber feet for the black cases?

[@princekittipon6510]

Just wondering im new to the space. Why zinc alloy over aluminium? Had he60 for 2 years and just ordered black zinc alloy letss gooo

[@kiyoponnn]

It would have been great if you had shown the latency for corsair k65 pro mini, it has an 8K Hz polling rate but no rapid trigger. however, it is currently the fastest keyboard as tested by rtings but I guess we will soon find out once rtings gets one.

[@SgtZack]

i would love to see German kana keycap set black and white 🤩

[@Wab0walrus]

I really hope you make ISO versions of those white on black keycaps! Would buy instantly

[@youdontknowme4891]

Absolutely insane

[@ThePinkHardHat]

I love the 80HE but can we please get a TKL/75%? I’d buy one right off the bat!

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

I would have liked to see more colors on the website for caps and also some more different switches to choose from. Its probably a good keyboard but there are so many really good outthere atm for less money. Choosing the zink complete with caps and switches it's around 350€ and that's not with shipping. That's alot for a gaming keyboard.

[@FernTheApprentice]

have y'all at any point considered a 65% layout board and/or module? Would love to see that.

[@tomstalapins2359]

YOO this is soo good and am so glad that i have wooting keyboard :)i hope that u send thetest device to optimum

[@OkArcc]

The keycaps look cool but wish you would put the katakana in the bottom right and the font at the top right + perhaps make it abit bolder font.

[@fabioalmeidajou]

IS IT WIRELESS? Also will we have a Two 80HE version? Need a full size keyboard

[@khensationalReviews]

Wooting is just the best

[@Vaznazza]

can you use Icurrent usb c to usb a coiled cable with the 80he?

[@OceanSky159]

Please make a definitive statement about which cases get which LED bar - the light diffused and the dark one. I am getting 2 cases just so I can get the one presumed to come with a dark LED bar transferred to the one that would presumably come with a light LED bar or vice versa.

[@saidjonnabijonov6668]

I just can't understand one thing with Rappy Snappy. If I strafe left and hit D once for a sec but keep holding A at the same time, will the A button keep being disabled when I release my finger of D ??

[@ShadowFire266]

can you please add black feet or put that in option during buying it :)

[@Vaznazza]

Does anyone know if the 8khz polling rate will cause fps lag in CPU-bound games? When I use 8kz polling on my mouse some games become unplayable when moving the mouse around fast due to the fps drops/stuttering.

[@ExpectMoore]

This might be a stupid suggestion, but why not use a clear cerakote/ceramic coating on the raw finish to preserve the "freshly machined" look while still offering solid corrosion and stain resistance? Obviously it would be pricier but you could maybe offer it as an add-on. Just a thought :)

[@naamt]

Are you guys going to make low profile keycaps?

[@user-oh7ds2bp1z]

hyped for my 80he ghost

[@corujocucu]

Any chance to add some ABNT keycaps?

[@Terped]

Can we please get a more in-depth video on rappy-snappy? Im very interested in the feature and how much of an advantage it will provide in games like CS.

[@the_maximaal]

Any plans to release a pcb with southfacing LEDs? It's a bit difficult finding nice keycaps that aren't cherry profile. Love the look of the raw case, hoping to snag one soon

[@Wooting]

Not all keycaps with cherry profile will have interference and need south-facing. Lekker switches do not have interference unless the Cherry profile keycaps are GMK or similar thickness. Our Kana keycaps are Cherry profile without interference and similar thickness. Just a better internal design to avoid intereference. You can also install the switches south facing, just the LED will still be on the top. Hope that helps.

[@RobiLemos10]

Estimate date release for Rappy Snappy on 60HE/Module ??

[@FrederikSeerupNielsen]

Hey wooting, any chance there will ever be a ANSI-ISO model? As in the big long shift key from ANSI with the thick enter button from ISO?

[@Wooting]

The JIS layout might be something to checkout. It does have a smaller spacebar though.

[@anthonyharding4380]

Any other colours for Zinc cases planned for the future?

[@vAmmonite]

pls sound tests for the zinc alloy

[@Bassy89]

Nice work I’m really hyped 2 get my 80he delivered. One thing I’m a little unsure is how rappysnappy is going to work. Is it 2 keys u configure or does it compare 2 keys regardless of what exact key is pressed? If 2nd I wonder how u would be able to walk diagonally (w+d / w+a / s+d …)

[@Wooting]

You choose 2 keys.

[@Bassy89]

Thanks. That makes sense :)

[@useduction]

[@philipp594]

[@hypepro1x248]

can you test the 80he for 2k hz

[@jean-christophedupont5081]

BRO I have wooting its so coooooool

[@dimwillow7113]

So i guess if you want fastest strafing you want to make it so that last button to activate activates. If i strafe left and then immeditely let it off plus at the same time push down right strafe i want that to activate even though left button will be further down.

[@StarComet7]

That's a feature of rapid trigger.

[@Wooting]

Rappy snappy works in combination with Rapid trigger. This is more complicated to explain but it comes down to that you won’t need the most sensitive rapid trigger setting to get the best results. Rappy snappy increases accuracy if hitting timed actions

Looking at this zinc alloy black I might have some regrets taking the plastic one... But can't change now if I want to get L45 switch pack which I do because I like lighter switches.

[@darkerheart45]

really love this keyboard but why the weird 80% layout. the non-centred arrow keys jutting out hurts my eyes. why not just have the 75% or TKL layout??

[@mingitt]

I heard that magnetic keyboards require more electricity compared to other keyboards, will their performance work normally when connected to Laptop?

[@Kazunori_xd]

should work like normal tbh, unless its drawing a lot more power which shouldn't happen. And if it does just contact support but i really doubt it or just lower the polling rate

[@Boemtie]

[@tergramsawa4447]

Hello,I hope someone reads this. I always wondered why no gaming keyboard manufacturer ever had split the space bar into multiple buttons. It's keyboard prime real estate under your left thumb. It's already established in ergo keyboards.

there are other options and it doesn't look like they will any time soon since they're focusing on the 80he. I recommend the polar 65 from arbiter studio or drunkdeer g65 instead.

[@jonasrenner]

Why did you choose to make the sides on the plastic case glossy? Not worried about it getting scratched up cleaning it, when trying to remove dust or likewise? 🙂 I have preordered one and am excited to recieve it though. I know it is a small thing, but just wondering.

We’re removing the gloss on the black pcr plastic version. It wasn’t hitting right.

How does 8k polling affect CPU’s especially when paired with 8k mice or 4K motion sync mice? How much volatility can it introduce to frametime? Mainly for demanding games like BR, and other non-arena shooters.

no, updating the mcu for the 60he is really difficult and also due to space so it wouldn't fit even if they added it.

Will the 80HE have the same LED options for the keys as the 60HE. Specifically the AOE effect?

please show a test latency between 80he and 60he both at 1K polling rate!

[@Frozoken]

itd be roughly the same seeings its about 0.5ms ahead. 1khz means your average press will be 0.5ms from an update and 8khz neans your average press will be about 0.06ms away from.a refresh/update which is about 0.45ms difference. Add that on and you get the same latency roughly at 1.2ms

[@AaronZhang-co7ne]

Hello Wooting team, I hope this comment finds you well. I have a question that I think could lead to an interesting discussion for the community. If someone could take the time to answer this it would mean the world to me. I wanted to know if I'm the only one who had the idea of making a hall effect PCB that could "pulse" or "bump" the hall effect switch via its magnet when it actuates/de-actuates. Creating a feeling that's similar to a tactile or clicky switch. Except for the fact that the position where the user would feel the bump is adjustable. If this is even possible, how many years away do you think that this technology is? Maybe an earlier implementation of this idea is is providing the user with audio cues when the switch is actuated/de-actuated. Is that something that the Wooting team has discussed? Thanks

[@Wooting]

We had an idea for this and did a quick mockup, but there were some complications with power draw and coil noise it makes. We had kept it to that for now and redirected efforts elsewhere. Perhaps we take a look again in the future.

[@Rene_Kahle]

will the module version complete assembled?
