(shows up with cherry mx browns) how do you do, fellow kids?
Well there isn’t anything like the wooting though
More joking about the posts than the board; there’s a reason everyone has it
I’m personally waiting for 1mm tactile bump HE switches, and hope that “hotswappable” HE boards start actually having something else to swap to
I love tactiles as well although a tactile HE switch doesn’t really make sense.
They would just have set actuation (for the bump), while still supporting rapid trigger
Seriously, how dare they utilize the best gaming switches on the market in a case that is marketed as being specifically compatible with them lol
We just making up words now?
Flat gang gang
If it works, it works. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve been tracking this sub for 2 years and I have no idea what any of this means
Wooting 60he is a popular gaming keyboard. The other panels are about popular mods to the keyboard. This keyboard has gotten popular for having noticeably lower latency when playing games that require hitting to same key again rapidly, like osu or fps games. Imo it’s one of the few keyboards out there that give a competitive advantage.
At least it’s a combo that doesn’t have a lead time of a year+ and zero possibility of just getting grift out of your money, leading to a front page rant about how the vendor screwed you over after ghosting you.
That has some nostalgia to it 🤌
I’ll take one tubed Topre please
With all due respect it is a “lekkEr switch”.
Bonus points when they use the Logitech Superlight mouse
superlight is a decent mouse and a safe choice though
i personally used one but switched to xtrfy mz1 wireless and am no longer able to use the superlight as it feels so incredibly huge lol
its the peripheral equivalent to the ikea linmon and x2 alex drawers or funko pop inside an nzxt h510 lol
i remember around 2016-2018 when the meta was the ducky one 2 mini and glorious model d lmao
Tbf my ducky performed well for the price, and put up with some abuse. Fuckin apex…
It’s not about these keyboards being bad or not even being bad value. It’s about the YouTubers acting like a keyboard expert because they got a keyboard that is mechanical and not Razer or Logitech.
I have a shine zero that I told myself when I breaks I’ll get a new board.
I purchased it in 2014.
Last year it finally bit the dust…The LED in the Y key that is. Everything else is functional.
This thing will outlive me.
performed well for the price
What does “performed well” even mean? I feel like the difference between keyboards is pretty exaggerated these days, especially regular mounted (steel plate) boards. In most of these cases it’s the switches that are the only part that really matters, and it’s unlikely anyone is building a PCB shitty enough it’ll croak in sub-1 decade
It felt 100x better than standard gaming boards, was cheaper than some of my previous gaming boards, and had the footprint and basic layout without losing anything I felt was necessary for me. Also it was accessible and marketed well. I’m sure if I plugged it in it’d still work, can’t say the same for any of the others, and it got me into “real” mk so.
In general I just feel like this applied to most normal “gaming” boards besides maybe the downside of having nonstandard layouts. Stuff like Ducky’s boards or the Quickfire XT was always the ~2014 recommendation over anything else but looking back on it the only real difference is the styling. Generic shitty rubberdome office boards will happily chug along for a decade, it’s not likely any generic MK is going to have issues with that either.
Personally I’m going to stick with Ducky if I’m just going online and getting a prebuilt board (as it sits I have 3 of them), it’s just weird to say they “perform well” for the price when it’s not really a significantly differentiated product
and it got me into “real” mk
It’s not like prebuilt stuff isn’t a “real” MK because it a barebones kit isn’t $200 or it doesn’t have tea flavored switches lol
Personally, I’d say I noticed a large difference between ducky and brands like logi, Corsair, and razer. Build quality, most notably, followed by software that isn’t dog water. Comparing it to a membrane board kind of says enough about where we both stand on this, though. A board with little to no modification capability without going out of your way seems to me like that alone would get my point across on customs, rarely are you going to be able to find a pre-built that checks every box if you’ve really gotten into the hobby. Albeit you pay for what you want usually, the quality makes it feel much more like a lasting and well-built product. Just my honest opinion, salty down votes be damned. 😂

Software is fair but in general I’ve never found generic plastic case, steel olate boards to feel any different “build quality” wise. Again, this is looking back to the 2013-2015 era, but it was mostly just different plastic finishes. In terms of actual solidity I’ve had Razer, CM, Leopold, Ducky, and a couple other brands and none of them were significantly different from the others.

That’s purely a longevity argument. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a keyboard straight up croak, even generic OEM ones that get beat to hell in an office environment. Especially in an era where everyone was using the same Cherry switches I wouldn’t expect any of them to last any longer or shorter then any others.

I’ve found “quality” to be a very nebulous word around here, often having a direct correlation to price. A keyboard is a plastic or metal case, a PCB, a plate, and some switches. Building a robust, solid, “high-quality” isn’t really a pricey endeavor in tyotl 2023. A lot of money will go towards design or features but long-lasting is pretty much a given and “well-built” has been inexpensive for at least a decade now.
I’m generally just rambling, but I’ve been browsing here since 2013 and it’s pretty wild how things have changed. Much more implication that you need to soend hundreds on some custom to get something “good” when in reality it’s broadly a solved piece of technology, you can just spend more if you want a more tailored experience
I feel called out for the IKEA desk lmao but it actually is really nice and simple had it for a few years now and very happy with it.
I got the Ducky One TKL roughly in that exact time frame and I’m still using it to this day! Solid keyboard
I feel called out.
What is better?
I have a friend that plays Quake competitively and he swears by the Logitech because it doesn’t have artificial acceleration or something.
Is that not standard on gaming mice?
r/MouseReview
They’re great, just used by almost everyone
Razer mice, stuff from Pulsar, Lamzu etc.
Finalmouse too, but thats a different price category and not exactly easy to get right now
I use the Superlight because it’s good. Not the best but not awful. I’m not a huge fan of Razers overall shape, but I have a Viper Ultimate as well that I use occasionally.
What mouse would you consider the best? I cant imagine using anything wired in 2023, imo it’s a genuine disadvantage given how wired and wireless are nearly indistinguishable at this point.
I use it and couldn’t be happier outside the price being a bit steep. People that buy 10 different mice and talk about their varying qualities are a different breed.
I used to be on r/MouseReview. I rarely use it nowadays. Usually just to see how a new mouse is. Like for the Superlight 2 (which I’m considering but 🤷)
I’ve used Logitech for ela very long time after switching from a Corsair M65.
I think people just hate Logitech and Razer because they’re the most common. I’d never buy something like a final mouse or a glorius since they’re either rover priced to flat out awful in terms of performance.
Sounds like you haven’t been there recently. Current meta is fuck glorious, fuck final mouse, fuck razer, fuck Logitech, fuck g-wolves. Pulsar is hit or miss. Chinese no-name mice are based. Vaxee is based.
I wasn’t saying that those are the current popular, just those are some of the most well known brands currently.
Their obsession is with the lights which is corny as hell because a gram of weight will not make a difference to 99% of users.
You’ve got to keep in mind most of r/MR is not your average user. They’re the 1% who has spent $150 on several mice searching for a mythical shape that fits them like a glove.
I agree though, the diminishing returns of a 60g 1K mouse to a 40g 4k mouse aren’t going to affect even the greatest of aim gods that significantly, if at all.
Me and my relaunched Microsoft Intellimouse are doing fine. I wish they didn’t make the drivers windows only though; intellimouse with intellipoint drivers used to be the best mac mouse.
I think superlight is pretty good, but a bit overpriced (that’s what happens when your product becomes the majority of usage for esports players). I’m asking for either a superlight 2 or benq wireless for Christmas. I said it somewhere else, but I was on a model D wired and went back to a benq mouse for the shape.
I think “best” with mice is the one that fits your hand best and accommodates your quirks, like pickup distance or skates or heavy/light. I would’ve used a superlight earlier, but I’m not a fan of mice smaller than the ec2 and that’s where most new mice wireless mice were landing before the superlight started dominating
I cant imagine using anything wired in 2023, imo it’s a genuine disadvantage given how wired and wireless are nearly indistinguishable at this point.
I can’t imagine anything wired, but I’m also weird that I also hate when wireless mice use built-in batteries instead of using AAA. I find 60 hour battery life pathetic, I don’t like that it puts an expiration date on the mouse, and I don’t like charging the mouse with a cable as opposed to just swapping the battery in a few seconds.
Right? My G604 lasted months on a single cell. My Naga Hyperspeed only lasts about two months, but I wanted the 12-button pad and the two extra buttons beside the LMB.
Don’t forget the small pot plants on the desk, RGB lighting literally everywhere (Especially those weird triangle lights), and huge custom mousepad.
Bro, why you gotta call my setup out like that (no tofu though).
tbf the superlight is actually rly good
to be fair, it’s a good combo if you want optical switches but don’t like the gamer aesthetic
Disable the rgb and it looks like any basic keyboard tbh
Somebody saw the new Badseed video
Actually I saw the guy with the Pepe lighting setup on his wooting, but I guess this proves the point lol
Eh, I’m not aiming at exciting, I’m aiming for something that meets my needs.
In this case, that means that I’m on a Q6 with Gazzew U4Tx ‘half-thock’ switches, and a set of /dev/tty key caps, laid out in Dvorak.
In a lot of ways, it’s a perfectly boring 100% keyboard, but it does exactly what I need it to.
Honestly that sounds more exciting than another wooting/tofu post
I just did that am I a horrible person? I am not a yter tho
Yeah the sound ain’t great, but the switches are. Insanely smooth.
I think the sound is ok but it will never be able to compare to the sound of other switches on the market, I like the stock sound it’s decently especially for a stock gaming keyboard but compared to the sound of expensive custom keyboards it’s never going to compare that’s why I don’t really see the point of getting a tofu case for it.
