    It's cute but 😵‍💫 For gaming performance the 8k Hz Wooting 80 HE is $200 for plastic or $290 for metal. If you can't wait for it to ship, the 60HE is in stock right now for $175
    And for enthusiasts I'd assume most are willing to build/mod. If they didn't enjoy it they wouldn't be deep in the hobby no?

    •  3 місяці тому

      Wooting is 8K wired, not wireless. Also the CNC construction on this kind of makes the Wooting look cheap AF. I get the 80HE looks nice but reality needs to set in that it is cheaper, and it looks cheaper also. Although I still think the Azoth Extreme is overpriced.

    I’ve been using North-facing switches for a long time, and listening to those “keyboard enthusiasts”, I tried the South-facing switches keyboard. Turns out I really don’t like the way the RGB of South-facing switches light up, it looks “cheap” for a $200 keyboard I spend on. Like I can see the lightbulb from the angle I sit, it’s fking ugly. North-facing switches doesn’t have this problem and light up evenly, props to ROG for keeping the North-facing switches❤ Loving the Azoth so far😍
