I love my Wooting 60 Its currently in a Tofu case The only thing I don't like is the pcb does not support 7U spacebar so im hoping one day to get my hands on a He board in 65% of 75% layout that supports a 7U spacebar
Yeah… Unfortunately, 7U spacebars are (still) the domain of custom keyboards… From all the HE gaming production keyboards that came out this year so far, I don’t recall seeing one with the option for a 7U spacebar (other than the custom Cycle8 with Rakka PCB, but which is larger than a 75% though). The upcoming Wooting 80HE and Keychron K2 HE, also come with 6.25U spacebar, and not even KBDFans’ Takka60 HE PCB gives you the 7U option. But I’m sure a 65 or 75% custom board with a Rakka HE PCB option is just around the corner… Hall Effect technology is taking over the keyboards world, and that will be no different in the custom segment. And considering how popular 65 and 75% boards are these days, I’ll be surprised if we don’t see a good HE custom board in those layouts (including a 7U spacebar) being released soon.
I hope Rakka comes around to produce a Cycle7 HE PCB... TKD sold a boatload of C7s, so it could be a good business for Rakka (depending on how good the demand was for their HE kit for the Cycle8).
Yes for the solder PCB (that accommodates both ISO and ANSI). For the hotswaps (both wired and wireless), they offer ISO only versions (you have to chose either ISO or ANSI). And the Rakka is ANSI only.
True... I mean, the "trauma" was real a few years back, when every pre-built keyboard came with crappy plate stabs on it. But things have improved tremendously lately, especially in the aftermarket where you can now get plate mounted stabs that are on the same level of good PCB mounted ones. I have to say I am impressed with the ones that came in the Rakka kit. Really good stuff!
It's finally time to get a HE board ;) Rakka actually has implemented "SOCD", its called "Swift Flow".
Man that was fast! 😂
@@IOSam And he's just by himself, the mad lad!
did not know rakka pcb support stepped capslock, thanks for the info
I was surprised to find out as well... Since it was not documented. They designed it in a way that the switch goes sideways.
This day just got better with another video from tIO Sam 👍
Ivan the great!!! Always nice to see you here in the comments section my good sir!!
Love seeing my fellow mainframers
AS400 for the win!
As soon as I saw the terminal I knew he was talking about the fn key
Yay! Yet another great video! Thank you!!!
Thank you for being here Esra!!! I guess our timing is in sync, eh? :)
The King is back. Welcome back Mate!
Thank you so much!!! Nice to be back in the TH-cam trenches my friend!
Blast to the past in the best way possible. Good to see you, Sam!
Hehe...thanks man!! I had been missing the "crunch" of editing videos under tight deadlines!! 😅
Thank you Mr Sam
Always welcome my friend!! And thanks for stopping by!
I *just* recently managed to finally climb out of my keyboard rabbit hole.
What do you mean? There is no such thing as climbing out of this rabbit hole... 🤣
@@IOSam fr, I thought I got out of it but I fell back in haha
Welcome back!
Thank you!! I missed this place! :)
I may have to get this TKL... Also and IO Sam video, I thought you got kidnapped by the keyboard mafia.
Hehe... Not the keyboard Mafia, but my 'daytime job Mafia' instead... :P
Nice vid Sam
Thank you Maroun! (and nice to see you back here!)

btw rakka already has SOCD on the beta fw channel
Just saw another comment here about it... That was fast, eh? XD
wow, really really really want a cycle7 pcb that can null bind, so i can see whats the fuzz all about.

@@IOSam oh alright thanks. Would you know of any keyboards with HE pcb that supports ISO?
@@morgan3625The Wooting 60HE is available in ISO version, as well as the upcoming 80HE.
The plate mount stab bias in this community is unreal.
