Higround just copied Wooting. 

fax. it's respectable.

because they are gamers, they know how things works, and their goal is to actually make something good, not just a random cash grab like most companies these days.

4 lads from Liverpool?

wooting should have applied for a patent...

Their production speed is holding them back which took me ages to get mine, and companies take advantage of this. It will be over for wooting once a big company matches wooting's performance, sadly.

Don't lie. You wouldn't actually take their entire stock.

Yep, can't stand the 60%, I need my arrow keys

@@RowOfMushyTiT they will. They're a multi-trillionaire, I know them personally

nar. no one wants that. nothing that takes away precious, precious mouse space

there is a full sized version

Software wise most keyboards are lacking across the board

wootility web app is really cool, only other company I can think of that does this is Atompalm. Zero bloat apps like this is surely the future.

​@@thegoldmolarnice pun

@@haian727 unintentional

wooting is almost 10 years old

I just wish it wasn’t the price of all my peripherals combined

​@@iDekerwas it always that expensive? With PBTs its 200€ now, and I feel like I remember it being closer to 150€

@@maxzett I’m not sure actually, maybe. I just checked and it’s $420 for me excluding shipping. So like double my peripherals prices lol.

@@iDekerwhat currency? i got my wooting 60he for $187 usd

It cost the same amount as a gpx superlight 2 in my country

Hall effect switches came out in 60s, wooting just modernized it for keyboard use.

like artisan mousepads, the product is so good that they have no chance but to copy it close to one to one

The first I heard of hall-effect sensors was in response to the stick drift issues of modern game controllers. I wondered if this had anything to do with Wooting using them, or if it was just coincidence.

@@KillerInstinctCS2 the product is so niche, not good.

​@@IT10Tthey're though.

Love the pun but nah fam 😂

​​@@abdulmuhaimin5274obi- wan: don't try it

I'd still rather just buy Wooting. Drunkdeer is still an inferior product.

agreed, I have one and I love it

@@rustler0880 more dollars and bad availability for maybe 5-10% better performance? Good on dat chief

It says on their webiste 0.4-3.6mm, did they just not update it? Because starting at 0.4mm would be a dealbreaker

@@xblur17 They released a fw update recently, it's still a test fw. It feels quite responsive, I'd love to see him testing it

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.

UP

I recently purchased the drunkdeer 75 and would also like to see what you think about it compared to the wooting.

good news they are making right now

@@zNexx.have u seen their 80he it’s lowkey creamy

@@justinpraise1 beautiful board can’t wait to try it out

They released it 80he is amazing I have it rn

@@Jukes_ ye it good i got the 60 he :

Blah blah blah inferior product 5 years behind in performance on anyone making keyboards.

you wont regret it, i guarantee

this will be what I buy, I have a K8 for nearly 3 years and its been fantastic in daily use.

Noice. I have the q1 v2 keyboard right in front of me (with different switches and keycaps). Has been awesome but I've always wanted to have a 75% version with hall effect switches like the Wooting so I might be upgrading when that comes out :).

Dude the video was uploaded 1 minute ago.

@@spectrent it’s a bot

@@lvvett1 Its an optimum video, I already expected it to be good after watching the first few seconds. I will agree that my initial comment seemed ai generated and I apologize for my bot like behavior

@@spectrent After watching the entire video, it was in fact a banger

mine is coming in the next few days! have you done any customization to it? lube the switches or anything?

@@uncleiroh8665 despite of what everyone is saying this keyboard doesn't really need any modding, also switches and stabs are factory lubed, but since switches are contactless it only really affects the sound 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

What does that even mean, "lifts it's own weight"[sic]?

sorry, I meant it can be a really good competitor to Wooting in terms of performance for its price

It’s already been tested and it’s not as good as Wooting, meaning it’s cheaper because it’s still inferior. Get with the programme and stop spreading lies.

@@tyl3rb-fw6ee lmao, bet you didn't even tested one for yourself. I own both keebs and the Wooting wins in all directions, hands down. But I give credit and props to DrunkDeer too for actually giving the masses a choice (and a budget 75% layout, mind you) get off your high horse

How much support do you need for a keyboard though? The discord is very good for fast responses about most things.

Is it the same hw and sw as 60he, the only difference being the size?

​@@faritmutugullinsame question

​@@faritmutugullinyes, performance is identical

​@@RagnaRohDanniz77yes, performance is identical

​@dot8803 oof that highkey sucks

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.

Nope, about the 10$ less then the 60he

$165 is what was displayed on the website

its around 50 bucks cheaper, but yes 90% of their products are overpriced bullshit

shame it's so ugly looking. if they could've put it in the K6 or K12 maybe but the Q1 is blech

@@retrorevival1 Shame you don't have taste, the Q1 is absoluterly beautiful.

@@noahreineman1479 meh, the offset arrow keys are awkward looking, and the dial in the corner just looks outdated to me. it's just meh.

@@retrorevival1 I prefer the arrow keys expanded out a bit. Having a 75% board with everything in one chunk looks messy to me.

The sound is kind of meh, but I’ve done some mods to it that make it sound OK ish. I ran out of lube after building my last keyboard so I wasn’t able to lube my switches. But I did a coin and tape mod as well as some foam and it sounds alright now.

@@RiceCubeTech to be fair it's probably the only switch with a subpar sound that I could live with, just bc of the functionality

@@yadaran9054 yeah I agree. I was like “I’m never not using a custom” after I built my first one. Then I got a wooting and I was like “…maybe there’s some exceptions😂”

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.
