Really amazed by how Wooting for sure changed the game.

@Frozoken 7 ай бұрын

They did via rapid trigger but steelseries was the first to make a consumer gaming keyboard with it and even without rapid trigger it's distinctly better performance than mechanical. Those two pioneered it altho wooting ofc did it much more intelligently than the rich lumbering mega corporation.

Yeah because they're way better 💀. It's about time lmao. Imagine if it surpasses controller hall effect adoption because despite it being even more useful on them because of durability, precision and dead ones, we don't have Sony and Microsoft tryna keep selling us $100 keyboards that break every 2 years like they do with controllers 😂

Seems like it? I heard the gateron jades sounds decent but for now majority of them sounds awful. I just hope custom keyboard manufacturers offer PCB's that supports HE switches on their existing boards in the future tho...

@mimp8365 7 ай бұрын

I think the KS-20s are older and were originally used in the Apex Pro TKL (2019) but all Gateron HE switches use that same mold so there’s no difference in tolerances (which aren’t up to standard for Gateron).

@coyotex850 7 ай бұрын

nice to see more HE switch options on the market, only problem is all lot of these keyboard makers seem to be doing their own thing and in turn making their products proprietary so HE switch compatibility is terrible

@xxcridonxx7614 7 ай бұрын

well atleast steel series adnd wooting are both going the gateron route with their hall effect switches so hopefully in the future, the innovation will be like hopw everyoene started using similar molds to cherry the moment their patent expired

I was wondering how come many manufactures of HE keyboards specify they are compatible with their/xxx switches only, like even Keychron Q1 HE states "*The Q1 HE is compatible with the magnetic switches sold on the Keychron website only.". Why is that so? Does that stay true to Boog75 as well? Another question that came to my mind - Are all HE keyboards (makers) with their magnetic switches have the feature of secondary activation (ex. press W to walk, press harder to Sprint) or it depends on if the switch has such support and respectively the software supplied by the keyboard maker? Thanks for the video.

As I know NO,Akko HE switches are not compatible with wooting pcb because diferent magnets position on switches. So I guess Lekkers/Raptor HE wont neither.

@fnvfanMSPR 7 ай бұрын

The reason why the Wooting sound like ass is because first of all, it's a tray mount and second, the Gateron Lekker switches are horrible because there is an exhorbitant amount of stem wobble and the housings are loose, resulting in a lot of unwanted noise. Hall Effect keyboards can sound good but Gateron is just too incompetent to make anything decent.

Do check my my friend Nix 4o4's channel, he has more typing tests on the board and he did alot of work to get it how it is now. Lots of modding and custom plate files were needed to get things sounding good.
