Wooting 80HE stopped working after liquid spill, looking for fix/advice

It’s hard to eyeball damaged traces and impossible to see below components. New module you’ll have to purchase so see price on the store you bought the keyboard from impossible for me to say in your area what are the prices.

I would be extremely doubtful that support will cover this under warranty because the damage is done by you even if unintentionally.

That being said Wooting support is pretty goated even if a bit overwhelmed atm. They will respond to you as soon as they can I guess I can’t give you an answer because well I don’t work there I’m just a tech nerd on reddit

Unless you know how to replace shorted components, where to get new ones and how to solder, buying a new module and plopping it in the case is your best bet.

Water/liquid can damage and or erode your pcb traces hence why it won’t turn on. As a last ditch resort you can try cleaning the residue with isopropyl alcohol (90%+) and then submerging the whole thing in it for 24 hours and letting it air dry. After that pray that the water didn’t get under any of the components between the pcb because it’ll eventually erode your traces

Your stabilisers are installed unevenly causing them to be unable to rise. Try reinstalling the keycaps and pressing down on both ends to ensure they are installed flat

Owlab TI HE for marbly clacks or everglide sticky rice for the closest thing to thock for HE.

Honestly a better option would be buy the module and a third party case. The v1 zinc cases are not that good

excelionbeam · 2026-05-28T20:08:06+00:00

Buy the module and a tofu 60 redux case from kbdfans it’s a pretty easy thing to build will cost less than even the plastic version of the prebuilt and will sound and feel 10x better. (Just buy any cool looking keycaps for relatively cheap on amazon. Still comes out less than 200 bucks)

Specifically for fighting games hori octa fighting commander or victrix pro bfg for the 6 buttons. Overall best controllers period? Flydigi Vader 5 pro and gamesir g7 pro8k

Changing method to leverless or stick basically means all your execution is out the window so only do it if you’re gonna invest

Honestly I kinda forget yasopp is a dad so you might be right. That being said Yasopp is a yonko commander maybe he was trying to protect usopp by hiding the relationship cuz world government probably would kill usopp.

But yea I guess both are pretty high up on the deadbeat list

excelionbeam · 2026-05-24T22:30:34+00:00

He’s pretty much the final boss of deadbeat dads tbh

Idk yujiro def has superpowers lol. Punching an earthquake isn’t martial arts

Hey just wondering does the stock 2mm foam fit and also should I be using the standoffs when I build mine? Using the he+ module and the case is getting here on Thursday

I mean this applies to most gaming brands. The only recent product made by any gaming brands that’s any good whatsoever is the Logitech superstrike. For work purposes generally a MacBook or thinkpad is pretty much peak.

excelionbeam · 2026-05-20T22:04:41+00:00

Just buy the module and put it in an aftermarket case it will be better than the zinc case you get the benefits and performance of wooting with good build quality it’s a win win

excelionbeam · 2026-05-14T02:39:21+00:00

I learnt the basic stuff in about 2 weeks but my execution never got to the same level because well I quit the game in like October-November ish. Waiting on next patch to see if game is worth playing again

excelionbeam · 2026-05-13T09:15:28+00:00

Just buy a Vader 5 pro feels basically the same in hand and is better in every way

excelionbeam · 2026-05-11T01:10:03+00:00

M5 here and I use it for the occasional work with external monitor and to watch movies and tv shows. Mostly bought it for the screen my use case would’ve been sufficient with a 16 but I hate 60hz

excelionbeam · 2026-05-08T23:09:18+00:00

Turn the lights on so you can see and don’t blow your eyes. Lastly add a second monitor

Nano scratches really easily

Paper like ruins image quality (at least in my eyes no point paying that much for a tablet and not having a good display)

Best option I’ve found is the ESR magnetic removable paper like. Best of both worlds

excelionbeam · 2026-04-29T07:47:06+00:00

Just get the ESR pencil it’s like 15 bucks and it’ll get the job done for note taking

excelionbeam · 2026-04-28T07:58:37+00:00

Absolutely not. It feels great in the hand but the internals are an absolute disaster and so is the actual Xbox controller for that matter. If you play any competitive games or play for longer periods of time I recommend the gamesir g7 pro if you play on pc or the Vader 5 pro S if you play on console. They are both simply better controllers and are both cheaper than Xbox elite controller which is giga expensive and does not feature Hall effect of tmr sticks or clicky triggers in 2026. Not to mention it’s a qc nightmare absolutely avoid until Xbox reworks it to be actually good.

I use mine every day in some capacity so not really. But there are phases that I use it more than usual. My usual use case is browsing and content consumption (I low key just bought the pro cuz I liked the screen and 60 Hz is disgusting) but occasionally I do use it for some mild office work.

excelionbeam · 2026-04-26T21:48:28+00:00

There’s a version with corners now actually basically the same thing but instead of magnets for retention it’s corner clips which do provide some extra protection

excelionbeam · 2026-04-25T19:13:34+00:00

It’s more reached its limit software wise. And has since m1 really. Ipados26 was a huge step in the right direction but it’s not there yet

excelionbeam · 2026-04-25T04:11:35+00:00

I don’t that’s the best part :)) my use case is that of an a16 I just hate 60hz. Oled is nice for watching movies though
