      Yea, their software is great. Its the first time I actually felt like my keyboard was limitless, and I’ve owned 40% keyboards that use QMK. Technically you can do almost anything to customize a QMK board but the process of changing keybinds was kind of time consuming, and downloading the software in the first place was not straightforward. I think Via/Vial might have solved this user experience problem but I haven’t used that software.
      I find it way easier to change settings on my wooting keyboard than even changing the settings on most of my mice.

    I think Drunk Deer is worth looking at. It was the first Rapid trigger keyboard to come out after Wooting 60HE, but not only that it is within the budget range. Others have compared it to razer and steelseries and most of the time it only lags behind either the razer or steelseries, coming at second after Wooting in terms of mm.

    In the chart with keyboard latency would love to see a stat with one of the fastest latency mechanical switch boards. To compare whether the tech is even worth it over a mech switch or if the gains are only valuable if you went with something like the Wooting. If that makes sense?
    Otherwise great video! I love Higround and I’m glad to see they got the in depth video from you to test out their product.

      They weren’t using hall effect sensors. They were getting analog movement using optical sensors. Wooting’s first analog keyboard also used similar optical switch technology 7years ago when wooting was founded. The problem is that the adjustment range and resolution wasn’t as accurate as hall effect sensors, and somewhat complicated to manufacture as it requires help from factories that specialize in making plastic lens’s since the light is refracted by the switch and back towards the PCB. The lens quality is crucial in determining how far down the switch has been pressed.

    • @WARnTEA
      @WARnTEA 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea its a comfort thing. I get the same thing from high polling rate mice. Like sure, you can be the best player in the world with almost any mouse, but the added accuracy from latency reduction makes me feel so much more comfortable and in control of the peripheral. It allows my brain to stop compensating for the lag in my gear and to offload that stuff to the subconcious brain where my body can just react before I can think. I think it makes me an objectively better player but its not really something that easily noticeable in the scoreboard. It mostly feels like I make less mechanical mistakes and am less nervous in clutch situations because of that.

      the only thing i really did is replacing keycaps, i used razer phantom upgrade set, because it does visually combine well with the switch-depth-aware backlight effects, but the stock ones are perfectly fine too!
      the only thing i would say you may really wanna do is case swap, but honestly i'm personally happy with the stock one, not like it changes the experience a lot, switches are the main event here, so to speak

    It's nice to see the HE market really starting to fill out. I knew years ago, back when I got my first HE board (back before Wooting had even shipped their first boards to customers) that it would be something to look out for. Of course, back then, the boards had nowhere close to the feature set of what we have today, just a few tenths of a millimeter variable actuation and the promise of additional smoothness from the lack of a contact leaf. But, it showed what might become some cool technology in the future. There was the big optical boom, including Wooting's old boards, and then they dropped their HE implementation, blowing every gaming board out of the water instantly. I've tried a good few of the newer HE boards now, and Wooting still just win from the perspective of customization and feature set. If they made a TKL I would buy it in a heartbeat, as the 60HE is great but not my favorite layout. But, we have some really interesting stuff on the horizon outside of the gaming focused companies, with a big name in the custom world working on an 8000Hz HE PCB and their own version of the Gateron HE switches too. We also have some other companies starting to make HE switches, and quite plenty of 75% HE boards hitting the market, so it looks like HE is here to stay, at least for gaming.

    • @WARnTEA
      @WARnTEA 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Its quite interesting because I feel like Wooting has set a precedent where the community expects them to innovate, and I worry that they don’t really have a clear direction to head in.
      Wooting have been working on this one feature for 7 years now, and while its nice to see a company listening to the custom keyboard community. Them releasing aluminum cases, selling a separate PCB version, and talking about how they keep starting and stopping work on a mousepad leads me to think that they don’t have any interesting ideas in the works.
      The peripheral industry in general is a pretty hard space to innovate in. Even if you design something better there is no guarantee that customers will adopt it. For example split ortho and 40% keyboards are actually interesting and improve the typing experience, but most people aren’t willing to deal with the learning curve of changing the way they’ve been typing for the last decade.
      If wooting don’t have anything innovative in the works, I worry for their future as a company because with all of these companies copying them, I wonder if their days are numbered. Keyboards are just a really hard market for a business to exist in because profit margins are usually really small because each keyswitch is made up of at least 4 separate pieces that has to be hand assembled up to 100 times per keyboard. I think wooting has built in a healthy profit margin but that has made the price of their keyboards more than many customers are willing to pay. Just look at how excited these other commenters are about the cheaper copycat products.

    • @WARnTEA
      @WARnTEA 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It should be coming to custom keyboards in a couple years. The biggest issues is that the custom keyboard community has been snobs about this technology. All they care about is new colorways and sound. When Wooting came out they basically never talked about them. I think Wooting initially expected to get their sales from the custom keyboard community but for the most part only found success in gaming circles like fortnite.
      There is actually a custom keyboard kickstarter being made right now, run by one of the more prominent community members called Keystone. They didn’t receive much support from the custom keyboard community, but they managed to hit their goal and their backers have been giving them nonstop grief ever since. This was a project started before covid and their backers didn’t care that development was delayed by covid, and they don’t seem very forgiving of the fact that its being run by community members that have day jobs.
      Anyway, Keystone seems to be entering the final stretch and will likely be shipping keyboards next year. As far as I can tell this team plans to opensource the code and stuff. So this will likely make it a lot easier for custom keyboard designers to adopt adjustable switches. If this becomes popular it will be really good for the custom keyboard community because hall effect switches are naturally hot swappable since they don’t need to be soldered and are just held in by plastic clips. Hopefully there won’t be any issue with the software adjusting towards different hall effect switches made by different keyswitch manufacturers. The good news is that Kailh is the manufacturer of Keystone’s halleffect switch so Kailh will likely be willing to make custom switches for community members that want different bump or click profiles.

    I know you don't typically go the controller angle, but I think you should make a video about the new generation of hall effect controllers that are coming out. I have used some from GameSir for instance, and they are just absolutely next level. It feels like I have another layer of aim assist added when I do 4, 3 linear in Apex. This wasn't possible with my elites with no dead-zone, it flew all over the place. I think a comprehensive review of all of them would be awesome because the controller players are just now starting to figure it out. Also, the old hall effect sensors, such as the kingkong, are not a good comparison. I can give more insight if you need, but this is an important topic, because most people are getting absolutely gouged replacing obsolescent potentiometers, and they are afraid to switch to the hall effect because "the pros haven't start using them yet". Down to help on this topic if you need and plan on making my own video in the future too.

When you get another hall effect board please provide review of the key wobble comparison. It's made worse by the fact that stabilizing spacers aren't compatible with lekker switches so it's very hard or impossible to fix yourself. Both the shaft and the top/bottom halves of the housing connection have significant play resulting in a very loose feel.
