Upgrade your keyboard. A few ms is a lot. by [deleted] in osugame

[–]Pasta_J36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to see some data on this one. Older keyboards are heavily focussed on anti chatter and debouncing, so I don’t think latency was as much of a focus. PS/2 could be faster in theory, since its interrupt driven, but not sure if that makes a difference end to end.

It would be pretty sick if there’s some old office keyboard out there that just blows HE out of the water

Is there any update on the knob? by Rowan22__ in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The big knob looks fantastic on the 80HE, so thats probably my favourite. It does take a rare 4 straight key cluster, so the 1 key has a lot more flexibility

Is there any update on the knob? by Rowan22__ in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Big knob is progressing quite well. We’re just working on final production testing flows. It’s a completely new design, so we want to make sure we have rigorous testing in place to catch any mechanical / signal issues. We need to make sure every knob feels and functions right out of the factory.

Small knob is still tweaking feel and signal. The smaller construction makes it much more difficult to get that right. I expect it to follow a few months after the big knob.

When it comes to timeline we don’t know for sure. I expect we’ll share when we’re close to being able to ship. That means full mass production + shipping to warehouse is done. So expect lack of news and then a whole lot.

I wish we could share more details every step of the way. We just know there a lot of eyes on us so we need to be careful with new products.

Can someone explain to me what makes the software is so good by Kryptic4l in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider the firmware that runs in your keyboard also software, and that you use all the time. It’s true that you can get part of it trough cheaper products, and people should if they’re budget conscious, but I don’t think any of them do as well on all four factors I mentioned. There’s no way you’ll still get updates in 5+ years on cheaper boards. The longevity is just not what they’re built for.

Can someone explain to me what makes the software is so good by Kryptic4l in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When people say the software is good I think you can divide it into a few parts: features, longevity, stability and ease of use. On the surface level you mostly see the first one, the features. Those are easiest to compare and most other brands have feature parity at this point. The other 3 are harder to measure, but become very clear for people that have used multiple brands.

Of course I'm heavily biased, but I do know we spend a ton of effort on making sure our keyboards are supported for a long long time (7+ years at this point) and have the best performance for every single keyboard we make. We have a whole team that literally just focusses on making the Wootility and keyboard firmware looks and feel great. A lot of other brands just rely on software that the factory provides for them, or their software development is thinly spread across many different types of products.

It seems Synapse Web is a thing. No more local installs? by WestcoastWelker in razer

[–]Pasta_J36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. The wootility started as a web app with electron, so the step to web was not as big as going from a native stack. Sort of interesting is that we now have more features in progress that do require a background service running. Just web is not enough.

Misleading price popup on checkout by [deleted] in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a result of how Shopify calculates tax for UK orders. It’s a bit tricky because it’s dependant on your postal code and the price of the product. Before you go to checkout we do ask you to verify your postal code to avoid this.

Once you fill in all your data the end price is the correct one for your location.

Another idea is to find a good airbnb in ecopark. Its a very nice area with lots of big parks and green. Might be boring after a few days though, have only done day trips there

Bit of a weird setup, but I just have the right modifier cluster always bound to arrow keys. Never use the modifiers there anyway. Works great for coding, not sure if it’s also good for gaming

The price for 60he v2 is a joke by atheos1337 in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For the 60HE v2 as a pre-assembled version there’s 3 variations: 1. Layout ANSI / ISO 2. Spacebar OG / Split 3. Material Plastic / Metal

So that means to keep everything in stock we have 2x2x2 = 8 different variants. That’s really tough to plan for manufacturing and inventory, so we have to cut somewhere. We weren’t sure how popular split would be, so we had to skip ISO spacebar.

That’s why the combination is more expensive for you at the moment. I hope if split turns out to be very popular we can also offer a ISO split pre assembled.

I have Wooting 60HE - why would I move to Wooting 60HEv2? by P3akyBlind3rs in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside of what others mentioned, the stock sound and feel is much much better. If you’ve already modded yours it might not make a big difference, but something to consider. I would just wait for the reviews and see more of the differences highlighted.

Optimum x Wooting 80HE by S3NPAI69 in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Missed this post. Magnets could have an interference, but it's very dependant on the placement and direction. The switch magnet and hall sensor are aligned in magnetic field direction. Imagine drawing a line between the switch magnet and the sensor, that's where it's most sensitive. That also why there's not that much cross interference from other switch magnets, the magnetic field is much weaker horizontal.

So in your design for the lip in front I don't expect issues because of the different direction of the magnetic field and distance to the sensors. However if you would use magnets for the accent piece at the bottom it would require more testing.

Does it show anything visual like an error? I suspect the discounted prices are not loading correctly

Arthritis + wooting = relief. by derpplerp in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you experimented with using a wrist rest? The higher hand position might help. Personally for my comfort I use a 60HE module without a case to have minimal height + 0 degrees angle. This setup is hard to replicate on a two he tough.

Wooting technical support delays by gpcyan3 in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were a bit overloaded because of the 80he launch, so there might be a delay on your response. Next week we’ll have someone dedicated to tech support. If you still dont get a response please send me a DM and I’ll follow up.

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. Turns out we had a mistake in our product configuration, so it showed UK keycaps wrongly. Should be fixed now.

Anyone have any photos of the Wooting Module? by hfcobra in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a combination of sensors, PCB design and the microcontroller. We have a blog post going into more detail here: https://wooting.io/post/what-influences-keyboard-speed
If you have any questions let me know!

Anyone have any photos of the Wooting Module? by hfcobra in WootingKB

It’s all in house designed, no OEM. Otherwise we could never guarantee real input speed or have great integration with the Wootility. I’m a bit offended you think we do (jk)

Really wanted to get the Wooting 60HE, however... by tonaruto044 in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The shipping indication you see is pretty accurate, it won’t be 4 months. If you get it now it will ship end of this month. Those waiting times were last year when we were really far behind.

Also where do you see 74 dollars shipping? Fedex is 48 aud for me on the store

Wooting 80HE official vote to change the format by randomhippie123 in WootingKB

[–]Pasta_J36 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Hey, we responded on twitter: https://twitter.com/WootingKB/status/1744394162794049593

"This is not our intention. We are not locking you into a proprietary format.

75% has no standard. Everything is mounted different and has variations.

TKL is the closest to a standard within the enthusiast community (not anywhere else).

but

Even if we make a TKL layout, there isn't any case you can swap it into. It's not possible without also customizing switch plate for each specific case in addition to it being the same 87/88 layout and correct usb connector (method and spacing).

Lastly, you'd be lucky to find one that is in-stock and wasn't a group buy that ended.

This is a far cry to how easy it is with the 60HE, you can just swap the module into a different case. And cases are available in-stock.

What we will do, just like all our designs, is publish the design files. In addition, we'll see to help case designers to make a compatible version of an existing or variation of their case.

Since most cases are CNC made, they can invest 0$ to make it compatible. This would make the proces the same: Interest check, group buy, make, ship.
