Opinions on the Wooting 80HE?

It's between a TKL and a 75%, reminds me of the KBDfans Odin 75. I'm guessing its gonna be 200 USD.

This will be the "endgame" custom keyboard for gamers.

I'm fine with it but people in live is crying because it's not a TKL, what do you all think?

I don't get why companies just do standard layouts, it's always these weird layouts that don't look very nice and aren't very functional in comparison to the layout's they are based off.

It was the same thing with the QK100, people really wanted a full size and they did this ugly looking layout that isn't as fuctional. An 1800 would've looked a lot better.

I think it's so they look innovative and put in more work but I think people just wanted standard layouts.

Still, more layouts are a good thing, but more looking forward to the hall effect stuff that geons is doing.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

I hoped more of a TKL... But it seems like they rather go for what reddit spends the most money on.

Companies trying to justify their existence by churning out new products all the time instead doing one thing and incrementally improving that.

That is not a TKL. I have a TKL from Wooting. Still can't configure it. Because no, it is more important to do new stuff than to make sure that stuff works.
