Wooting, u could get a knock iff for cheaper but they just lowered the price of their original 60he plus u get an actually backed product that come with support from the company and actual good software that makes changing thing on ur keyboard to suit u a breeze I have both the v1 and v2 and regret nothing
I've had a Wooting 60HE+ and a Wooting 80HE. I ended up selling both but now have a Luminkey Magger68. It cost me $75, has an aluminum case, all silicone dampening for far better sound, Gateron switches and is just as "fast" as either Wooting keyboards I had. Plus it has the 65% layout that I prefer (not 60% and not 80%).
Wooting is overrated for their subpar product quality **by a mile**. Don't tell me that Luminkey has more spending power than Wooting to invest in quality manufacturing processes. The only positive about Wooting is their warranty at this point.
Plenty of Chinese keyboards also have similar web interfaces that implement nearly identical setting adjustments as Wooting.
The first release had two versions, the Performance and Professional. The newer releases are Plus and Ultra. I know, it can get confusing. I have the Performance version. They vary by switch (Gateron White Pro or Gateron Jade Pro) and the bottom of the aluminum cases are different. Otherwise they are all identical AFAIK.
Shipping was $10 for me from China. No tax either. So $85 for a high quality build HE keyboard that makes any Wooting feel like a toy.
i wanted the silicone case with lower profile, so i went module 60he+ (refub) the case & tikken switches promo they had (free switches) added some nice pbt keycaps i allready had bought for another keyboard of mine (costed me 150e with shipping excluding the caps). for fps games you dont need anything larger. i said i would just plug it in when i play and keep my 75% for normal usage. but once you get used to the fn binds, which you can map them anyway u want + mod tap for alt usage of tap/hold i ended up using it 100%. vs the v2 i didnt care for 8k polling or the split space bar. so idk maybe check the 60he+ too if that makes sense for you.
My peak is immortal 3 peak, immortal 1 rn. I don't play much due to studies and all but yes this has been one of my dream keyboards and being finally able to afford it with my money is a dream come true
I meant specifically 60HE v1, but it was released long ago, so it's quite obvious that it won't feel any good compared to newer boards. Basically most of the 50$ chinese boards will perform and feel better. 80HE and 60v2 are a big leap from 60HEv1, but I can't justify 200$+ for a plastic case and lekkers on 80HE. 60HEv2 finally looks like a good product with upgrades they've done to it (tikkens + alu case + FR4 plate for 50$ extra seems not that bad, if they won't change pricing later ofc...).
>What do you guys think or recommend?
Ignore overpriced crap like
>SS APEX PRO or WOOTING 60he
Wooting 80HE and 60HEv2 are slightly better options, but I still don't think they're worth it. You can start with \~$50 HE boards to understand if you like them or not. If you're going to get a new board anyway and ready to spend more, I can easily recommend Everglide SU75PRO (currently $110 on Keebforce).
Not knowing the specific model of your current board is a problem. If it's something like the Aula F75 — it's already fast enough latency wise to play comfortably. RT is surely a good feature, but it won't make an astronomical difference. SOCD is forbidden on official Valve servers, so strafing relies purely on your skill.
