The Wooting 80HE Founders’ Campaign has come to an end, and we are blown away by the sheer amount of founders that supported the Wooting 80HE! We will continue to do everything we can to make impactful products together with you.
During the Founders' campaign, 23,355 founders raised €7,452,597 in just 32 days. To all the founders: Thank you for your support! The Wooting 80HE will now be available for normal pre-orders.
When can I expect the 80HE on my desk?
We expect to deliver the first batch of the Wooting 80HE in October 2024. You can find an estimated delivery date during checkout or in the product configurator. After placing an order you can also find the estimated delivery date in the Wooting hub.
What switches will be available and what aftermarket switches can I use?
The Wooting 80HE has hall effect sensors on the PCBA to detect the magnet inside the Lekker switch. Without the magnet it can’t detect the switch. We recommend using our own Lekker switches.
There are a few available magnet switches that are compatible with the 80HE:
- Gateron Magnetic Jade switch
- Gateron KS-20
When in doubt feel free to reach out to us on discord.
Will 8k polling increase CPU load, or cause performance issues?
In our testing we haven’t measured any performance issues or a significantly increased CPU load. (Mice that poll at 8k are constantly sending relative position data updates to the computer which is known to cause increased CPU load, whereas the data stream sent by keyboard polling is very different.). A PC should have no issues running the Wooting 80HE at 8kHz. It is however possible to lower the polling rate of the keyboard.
What are the USB requirements to run the Wooting 80HE at 8kHz?
The minimum required port is a USB 2.0 port. Anything higher like 3.x or 4.x is compatible as well.
Is the PCBA compatible with aftermarket cases?
There are currently no aftermarket cases available. Later this year, we will share our design files publicly, inviting case makers & hobbyists to develop their own 80HE cases.
Can I install other screw-in stabilizers?
Yes, the Wooting 80HE is compatible with most aftermarket screw in stabilizers and clip in stabilizers.
Can I configure the polling rate & device speed?
Yes, through the Wootility you can set various polling speeds from 1kHz up to 8kHz.
What physical layouts will be available?
We will offer a dedicated model of the Wooting 80HE for ANSI, ISO and JIS.
What keycap languages will be available?
The ANSI Layout always comes pre-installed with US English double-shot PBT keycaps. The ISO and JIS layouts come without keycaps installed. The selected language keycap is a separate product you receive in addition.
We offer the following ISO keycap languages:
- UK English
- German
- Nordic (Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Danish)
- French
- Spanish
If we don’t offer your ISO layout language, you can choose the ISO model without keycaps and install any MX stem compatible keycaps with your language on it.
What keycaps are compatible?
Any keycaps compatible with Cherry MX switches should be compatible. For the bottom of ANSI and ISO row we use standard keycap sizes.
What is your warranty policy?
You receive a 4 year warranty on the Wooting 80HE covering workmanship and materials during normal use. And a 2 year warranty on the LED backlight. When you have a defect, we will offer free replacement. Outside the warranty period, these parts can be purchased at a discounted price.
The warranty period starts once the products are delivered to your door, not when the order is placed. https://wooting.io/policies/warranty-return-policy
Can I cancel my pre-order?
Anytime before shipment you can cancel and refund your pre-order. Please contact customer service to proceed: social@wooting.io
What payment methods are available?
We support many popular payment methods including credit cards, in the United States and outside the European Union. Within the European Union we support a multitude of local payment options in addition to debit/credit cards.
If you have any trouble with your payment method, please contact customer service: social@wooting.io.
Can I trust you to deliver?
This is our 6th crowdfunding campaign and the 4th campaign we’ve hosted on our website. We've been designing, manufacturing, and delivering keyboards to customers for more than eight years. We aim to fully transparent in every way possible, sharing the challenges alongside the successes, logistics, and ecommerce. We actively share the progress, challenges, and always deliver on our promise.
Does it feature individual RGB?
Yes, the 80HE features per key configurable RGB effect, as well as special effects and RGB presets.
Can I get a version without the light bar or remove it somehow?
No, it is not possible to order the 80HE without the lightbar, but you can deactivate it in Wootility.
Does it feature additional LEDs under the spacebar like the 60HE?
Yes, on ANSI/ISO it has the same 4 additional LEDs (2 on each side of the spacebar) similar to the 60HE. On the JIS layout, due to the additional bottom row keys, there are only 2 additional LEDs(1 on each side)
