Hex80 TKL Magnetic Switch Keyboard

Build quality, sound and feel while being HE? Hex80 is an absolutely yes. Extremely good response and firmware reliability/stability? Wooting is better. You have to sacrifice the rest.

Can you feel the difference... Yes, you can actually feel the difference, specially when youre counter strafing or stopping. Wooting 60he v2 got aluminum. Otherwise, go for the HEX80 or the EZ80. Theres also Akko M0D007 V5 HE, but if you bang for your back, Irok ND63, Irok MG75v2, Keyverse ST63, Morkblade MK60, Gravastar V60Pro. So far, i have the EZ80 and Gravastar V60Pro, looking to pickup a Wooting 60HE V2, HEX80, and Morkblade MK60 this week

I have the hex80 and I really like the keyboard. I returned the original one I bought and requested a replacement because the RGBs were spazzing out and would flash super bright. The second one started to do the same thing after a couple of weeks of use but this time I disabled some AI setting (I'll update later with the specific name) and this particular issue is gone. Edit: the setting I disabled was AI Match under performance settings. Edit 2: second keyboard started doing the same thing. I replaced the USB cable with a thunderbolt USB c to usb c cable and it's working good now.

It was good for a week but it has started to happen again, i got annoyed and turned the RGB off for now.

Just to chip in, Hex80 was sold at a huge discount a few weeks ago but I'd still get it over the Wooting. Like other people say, only thing Wooting has over the Hex80 is that they have the best software but 90% of people only change basic things like actuation points, activate rapid trigger + SOCD, and low latency mode/tachyon mode which pretty much all HE keyboard software have. Also the stock Wooting 80HE is pretty bad, to make it equivalently good to the Hex80 you need to spend another $169 (excl shipping) on the GT80 aluminium case, buy better switches, and replace the terrible stabilizers which can add up to an extra $100. Even if you buy the Wooting 80HE module instead (which is just the PCB + case they force you to include) which is cheaper, it still costs more to make it on par with the stock Hex80.

Hex 80 gets my vote, just bought one myself.

The best overall package currently is probably the ATK Rs7v2 or the Hex 80. Their web driver has great UI. There are faster boards available, but the web driver isn't as great (VGN Flash 75 Extreme)

If you care about latency testing the Hex80 doesn't have the best results. Id recommend checking out Laobaozi on YouTube. He provides a lot of information on Chinese hall effect keyboards. Wooting keyboards don't even make top 20 I'd then look at reviewers who review the build quality and software

Wooting customers..... They're so uneducated about the actual technology behind it. If anything, the hex80 is more customizable due to the actuation being more fine tuned. Recommending a Wooting in 2026 is laughable. Their customers have to be the biggest victims of sunk cost fallacy

Agreed. The Hex 80 feels and sounds amazing.

Get a Hex 80, otherwise, you could get the Wooting 80, and put a nicer case and plate on it such as those offered by KBDfans

Hex 80 all the way

I’m not sure, but the build quality is amazing.
