would love to see a 60 HHKB HE compatible PCB (tsangan) .. all the current ones (Wooting, Rakka60) seem to be 6.25 layouts

I think matrix doing one for bunny but that’ll prob be locked to that board only Wkl/hhkb with daughterboard Maybe could work doubt it’ll have pins to solder usb port

so why exactly will Venom HE not work with HHKB Frog Mini? what is in the way

if it's a 60HE it should work depending on the layout options and connector (Frog uses an embedded USB-C - other boards may need a JST for a daughterboard)

so theres hope for Frog Mini HHKB + Venom HE?

I also wanted frog mini HHKB HE keyboard Which is why I started this topic It's unlikely and depends on geon because as I know it, u can't support multi layout on a HE pcb, the sensor needs to be positioned right under the middle of the switch where the magnet is? So there will have to be a HHKB layout only PCB right and I wager alot of gamers aren't interested in that and will only want WK

it can be

Oh, it's possible to do multi layout pcb for HE aSakuPogs

yes

sensors just need to not be overlapped arent they?

any WK 7U spacebar pcb can be used WKL and HHKB without any issues because R4 is symmetrical. wooting PCB uses 6.25 spacebar and is not symmetrical, so cannot use just need 7u layout kek

yea thats what we've been saying the issue is the pcb current known 60% HE pcbs (which iinw are only wooting60 and the upcoming rakka60) are only 6.25u and i dont think they plan for making 7u compatible pcbs
neonthunderx.eth
yeah, like geon confirmed Venom 60 OTW
Plushie
Plushie6mo ago
but if geon will make it we win
neonthunderx.eth
now we just need geon to make it sound good lmfao

raptor he switch already sounds pretty decent on wk frog mini wootings imo, some people have already done it definitely better than the other HE switches

if Venom HE supported hhkb that would be amazing froggyHeart

Hi! my friend and I are really interested in trying out HE, but we both use split backspace. Is there a possibility for split BS layout as well? 🙏
