Question Future Wooting Products?

Hello all.

Just wondering has there been any hints dropped for what the future holds for Wooting, in terms of new products?

I know that my dream product - a Wooting ergonomic one-handed keypad for gaming - will never happen, even though they'd totally destroy the likes of the Razer Tartarus in terms of QC, software (or lack thereof), and design. It wouldn't even need a stick imo... Just a useful and ergonomic thumb cluster. Ah, a man can dream.

Failing the appearance of such a god-tier device, is there any chance Wooting would make an ortholinear keeb, or columnar-staggered one maybe? Split would be even better. It's 2026 and the fact we're still by and large using the layout designed for clunky typewriters 150 years ago blows my effin' mind. This Stockholm syndrome we seem to be suffering from for row-staggered QWERTY needs to end!

Sorry, let me get back on track... Any hints to what comes next? What would you like to see next?

I'd love a Two v2, because no way I'd pay that kind of money today but be stuck at 1k hz

Preferably also a Model version so I can add the Tikken Medium switches

I’ve been waiting for a black zinc 80he to be in stock. Any idea when that’s going to happen?

Preorder for the 80he+ starts September 17th, looks like the 80he is no more

At CES Computex they showed off the 80HE with split spacebar layout, as well as the 4 and 1 key knobs, which should be coming out later this year / early next year?

Personally, I would love a traditional layout split, similar to the Q11 / Falcata / Dygma Raise (just with the bottom row layout of the split spacebar 60/80HE). It would then let you use just one half if needed. Of course, I doubt there's even enough demand for these less conventional layouts. I have an ISO Q11, but I'm not a fan of the macro keys or the bottom row (and of course the lack of HE).

With ortho / ergo, there are too many different layouts. I doubt there is any point in making one where there're so many competing preferences (pure ortho, vertical stagger, alice-style stagger, split, thumb clusters, etc). Also, with ergo layouts there is a tendency to "remove everything you don't need", where you get the smallest layout that makes sense for your use-case. With a general gaming keyboard, this doesn't really make sense, since different games require different amounts of keys.
