Wooting - 80HE

very nice esp with the zinc alloy case

wooting is your board bro. my jitter peeks have been fire with HE

Just got my Wooting 80HE, I know it's not full sized - but it's a bliss to type on. Coming from a Ducky shine 6 brown switches

I use the wooting 80he with lekker switches and it works super well. I’m pretty sure lekkers are linear with rapid trigger, but I don’t think the huntsman has RT. That being said, I’ve never had a problem with the switches I’ve used and I recommend it.

Sayo works but I had a bad experience with it (started double clicking in like 2 weeks) so I’d recommend a wooting uwu it’s like 40 bucks which is a bit more than the sayo, but in my experience wootings are built like tanks so it’ll probably last longer. (Keep in mind, sayos are literally made by one dude in china, wooting has a whole supply chain and guaranties certain quality)

i have a wooting 80he, honestly i think you're good for a lifetime if you get it, it's a phenomenal keyboard (i got it with lekker v2 45g).

Wooting 80he bro it's sooo good

Loving my Wooting 80he. Not, by any means, a cheap option though

Not the op, but i already received my Wooting 80HE, but not wrist rest and cable. I really liked.

I recently upgraded my work and gaming keyboards to Wooting 80HE and 60HE. With the Lekker L60 v2 switches, they feel great to use and are relatively quiet which was important for both working at home/gaming and also using one in the office as it’s open plan… Figured I’d pay a lot with how much I use them and for longevity of the product… I also like that you can customise how sensitive the keys are with the actuation point. Believe this is a common thing with HE keyboards and honestly surprised how much I like it.

Wooting is the market leader and Wootility is considered the best management software for magnetic boards. If it's in your budget you shouldn't really be considering anything else.

I bought my own Wooting 80HE because I just like what Wooting is doing and I wanted to support them. They brought new keyboard technology to light, which made bigger comapnies like Razer and Asus follow them. They're very transparent, can admit mistakes, and want to create unique products.

I mean this keyboard is universally good. Just a good product. It's up to you to decide is it for you or not. If yoi want just a high performance keyboard, with good build quality, reliable software, and rapid trigger, go for it

The biggest thing comes down to form factor. I value more buttons like a TKL, so I got an 80HE. If you really like 60%, then go that route. I just got mine with the stock lekkers and they sound and feel great, I don't have any immediate urge to change them for jades or geons.

wooting fr is worth every penny, every gamer dreams to have it. They defeated every top gaming company by just releasing one game changer keyboard from an unknown company. They started the HE and now it's the best for esports gaming.

Im gonna be honest, if i JUST have to type for the sake of writing down stuff (work), a mechanical board feels just so much better( if u have a prefered mounting style). However if you wanna do both a 80HE will be sufficient enough by any means. Especially if you dont mind a stiff typing feel. Before i get shit on, this is just my opinion i dont think its a fact just how i feel about it.

But there is nothing i would want to be fixed. HE boards just "have to" be stiffer due to the magnetic input. I said i prefer mechanical boards if its just about typing. I didnt say one of those is not suitable for one thing or the other.

First and foremost you're comparing HE to MX. Don't. **If you are wanting a HE keyboard** maybe put the 80HE aside other HE boards and compare them that way. Software, customization, yada yada, you know what you like or want so see if they tick the boxes. HE is the new craze therefore likely to be / seem more expensive than most things. I have 80HE's, Made68's, Boog75's and misc. others. A lot of people talk about DrunkDeer boards a lot for HE. ***Personally Wooting is still #1 in my personal opinion.*** Customer service, updates, software, ease of use + a company that actually listens and cares. Yeah they missed the mark heavily with their Zinc cases and the PCR's but it was also their first time creating an alloy case and a new manufacturer. They will improve in the future. I have their White and Black Zinc cases and a few PCR cases, I have the GT-80 and there's three other cases the Bone 80, Jun80 and the AB80 that are on Aliexpress. More to come too. You can also get different plates, foam packs etc on Aliexpress too. **If you do not need HE and want a solid MX board**. Any of the DR Works, DR-70F, Flip 6P, Polygon 7 are all insanely insanely good for the price. Crush 80 Reboot Pro, even the Lite's are insanely good. You can even get a Crush 80 Beta Pro or Lite they are just as good. Rainy 75's. Neo65 CU, Neo70. Luminkey65 or LX60.

Wooting is also insanely transparent, very good customer service and they are actually deep in the community, livestreams, videos, talks, questions, answers etc. I pre-ordered a 60HE when they were coming out and I later got the 80HE. I just like Wooting as a company and what they do for the community as a whole. Their software is super good too, which most other brands have great software's but Wooting just hits different imo. I'm not in it often but it's nice knowing that it's reliable and one of their top priorities at all times.

I literally used the notebook keyboard and some shitty notebook mouse up until Legion. Then I built my first PC and today I am running Wooting 80HE with Naga Pro. It’s like getting a lambo after driving old Prius all my life, lmao.

Recently got a Wooting 80he and it's beautiful.

now its time to upgrade to a wooting 80he or 60he. youll thank me later

Wooting is cooking a full size keyboard. It has best in class software and decent quality as I can vouch for the 80he. It's still pretty expensive tho. It also has a 2 year warranty. It's definitely better than your orion

Love my Wooting 80HE. The keyboard itself is not very fancy but the software allows for lots of customization and lets you get the most out of the keyboard. Hot-swap mechanical switch keyboards will give you the most variety as far as "key feel" is concerned.

I play non e-sports and mostly single player games and type alot for work using 80HE.. Its really awesome and i can set multiple modes to switch between typing vs gaming. No issues on single player games at all, just treat it as any other keyboards.

Holy shit, you're my EU analytical twin. Colored tables and everything. Yeah the Wooting is great, but I also have zero experience with any of those other boards. All I know is I've loved my 60HE and my 80HE and I've loved modding them to my personal preference. Good luck in your quest!

If you want a keyboard because of the sound get a mechanic keyboard. I personally have headphones on while gaming 90% of the time so sound is not a factor for me at all. 80HE has better tech than most (if not all) other keyboards. Compared to other HE keyboards im not too sure, but I haven’t had any issues with my 80HE and wooting pretty much pioneered HE keyboards.

I actually switched from the 60HE to the 80HE specifically because it’s better for coding (arrow keys and macro buttons). It’s good enough for me and im sure for many others. Get a GT-80 case and some Gateron Jade Pros to have that thock sound when coding. So satisfying to listen to while doing a big project or something

Hello there. I use the Wooting 80HE and honestly for the type of game that battlefield is you really won’t gain any advantage. Sure with rapid trigger on you’ll be able to strafe faster and you’ll 100% notice at least that for example but in a real match it won’t give ya any advantage. I’d just pass on it unless your deadset on getting one 👍. Edit: If it helps at all I used to use a Logitech g pro TKL. Between em both I’d probably keep using my Logitech unless I got into more twitch like shooters.

I have the 80HE and am a software dev. From a practicality standpoint with coding, it's perfectly good, and no different from any other gasket mount board with linear switches. The feel and sound is pretty decent with the lekker v2, though I switched to the Geon Raw from them because it's a bit more consistent and clean from the perspective of sound. There are more premium options for less money in the mechanical keyboard market like the evo80, but of course then you don't get the HE benefits. Overall though if I could only have one keyboard then I would pick the 80HE.

Dear all, since a few years I am using since a Ducky One 2 with MX Brown switches for my every day work. It suited my needs pretty well since it was my very first Mechanical Keyboard and I prefer slight tactility for text writing and the like. For gaming I use a Wooting 80he, which is of course a completely different level - so I understand the quality differences. Apart from these models I have never tried other switches. In the recent months I reallized that the overall (tactile) resistance of the Ducky One swichtes increased, reaching an annoying-as-fuck-level. I have vaccuum cleaned the keyboard nearly every week and also removed the key caps for washing, regularly. My question is: Can I lube the switches **without** desoldering them and could reach a kind of "original" resistance profile? I have seen tutorials for linear switches, but coudn't find anyhting appropriate for tactiles like MX brown. I am also open for alternative solutions, but if possible I would like to avoid spending a bunch of money for a new keyboard - unless there is more suited long-term option that I cannot see in the moment. Best regards and thanks in advance!

I have tried both the Wooting 80HE and the Chilkey Slice75HE. I am happy with the Wooting but returned the Chilkey to Amazon because for me personally it was: too loud, didn't like the inaccurate colour of led due to Jade switches (and the alternative would be even louder, so not interested), and I didn't personally feel the typing feel was any better. Also, I couldn't work out the macros, as there seemed no way to assign a key to them.

I’ve been daily driving a zinc alloy 80he and it definitely sounds and feels sorta in between a cheap mech and an expensive custom mech. My biggest problem is the feel of the Hall effect switches since they inevitably start to wobble, even with the latest ones sorta addressing the issue. However you do get the best when it comes to latency and it is very very noticeable, even more so in competitive games, so I really don’t see myself going back. For reference I’ve tried the old lekkers on a two he, which I eventually swapped out for gateron jades, and my current 80he has lubed and filmed GEON raw he.

First time Wooting buyer and user here. Had my 80he since the second batch and it's honestly the best keyboard I could have wished for. Mine is plastic and stock switches and I like the sound. But listen to comparisons online and think about it first. The keyboard is good and the quality is amazing

TKL looks more aesthetically pleasing because it’s more symmetrical than this current layout. TKL looks better with a 7U spacebar layout than this 6.25U spacebar. HE switches are still in its infancy stage so they sound and feel meh. Keyboard case is meh as well. For the price you are paying, the machining and intricacy on the case is not good. The board itself sounds like all other cheap keyboard on the market. Using all foam kills any uniqueness to the keyboard and produces that “foam” sound. Without the foam it sounds like a hollowed keyboard.. If I pay $200+ shipped, I expect a PVD or SS back weight on the keyboard. Yet 200+ shipped gets me an ABS plastic case... 300+ shipped gets me a metal alloy case with the problems I listed above about machining.

Do not buy keyboards from Razer. They are terrible. Given the options, go Wooting 100%

Stay away from gamer brands like the plague, the only good keyboard that you mentioned is the wooting but honestly unless you need an HE board with their software, you can get cheaper HE or mechanical boards with the same quality.

As someone who doesn't play any game at a comp level, nor ever reach higher ranks in games since I get bored too quickly. Yeah, I really enjoy my 80he I use "Snappy Tappy" all the time, almost every time I boot up a game I switch over to my gaming profile with 8k polling and snap-tap. Does the 8k polling help me? Fuck no, but it's a nice extra. Using snap-tap feels great in every fps game I've tried (except CS since i got kicked). It also feels great in other games such as DBD where I now can moonwalk for ages if you know what that is. The mapping is insane too. I had a scroll wheel for audio earlier and thought this would feel like a downgrade since the 80he doesn't have one. However I quickly got used to using the function key to do everything which is clean and simple. All in all, it obviously depends on what you want. However from someone who doesn't know everything about games, keyboards this was a great purchase and I'm really happy with it. Everything just feels more smooth, even if I'm not a fps nerd

Honestly as an owner, its great for gaming but qc is kinda mid. All of my large keys (enter right shift backspace) all stick on full press and some keys are scratchy. Its got great responsivness but it has issues.

Absolute best is the Wooting 80he. Cheapest is the Mchose Jet75. I'm personally looking at getting the Monsgeek M1 V5 TMR (Basically really good keyboard but lacks a lot of the polish and features software wise that the Wooting 80he has and software is important for magnetic keyboards, but it's a lot cheaper than the Wooting too.)

I hated the layout at first like everyone else, but that was before I realized it has a full size shift key. I think I still would have preferred a regular 67key layout, but it's unique and still smaller than tkl. Otherwise it's a 8k refresh rate, the 60he cannot do that.

Sound is subjective. Stock 80HE sound is something you like or don't like. The 80HE is completely customizable and there are a plethora of HE switches, keycaps, cases, sound modifications, that you can do to your 80HE to adjust the sound profile. You're buying it for the HE peformance right? that being said, I did change out the lekker switches for some gateron jades, which sound better to me.

Wooting 80HE, you could get the module version with frost case, they are white caps with kana on them you can get. The caps are intended for ANSI/JIS but can be used on ISO with left-shift being menu. You then can choose whatever switches you want, jade family switches and similar styles are nice but more on the clacky side.

I don't regret the price I paid for my board at all. The benefit of HE isn't that it's just good for gaming, you can really dial in the board to feel the way you want it to with custom actuation and reset points. You can even set up different profiles for games, typing, etc. The software is the best I've used for any PC accessory with tons of different settings you can tweak and it doesn't hog resources or have weird conflicts with other software as it's browser based. It's also easy to mod and customize. It really checks all the boxes for a great keyboard imo and you don't really compromise on anything.

not sure if it's wooting, but my wooting 80 doesnt work with starcitizen - i cant get console (Tilde) to work, no matter what I try (usually on Swiss German keyboard settings). Ok - to be fair, I gave up after 2-3 hours of trying. The keyboard problems alone made me give up on Linux gaming again.

I have an 80HE and while it's amazing for gaming, I really dislike it for coding. So whenever I'm done gaming, I swap back to my Keychron keyboard.

I would say wooting 80he if u want long-term support. Whenever new features release, they will update for their keyboards. If u want cheap option, I rec made84 pro - same performance but cheaper. Atk rs7 pro's firmware just sucks, dont buy it

im pretty sure the wooting 80he is objectively the best when it comes to input latency and chord splitting(a lot of keyboards dont have good chord splitting,very important if you want to play multi key games) while also not sacrificing anything in build quality elsewhere for now. maybe some other company has come up with another very top end board which is slightly better. but there is def not some random 100e board having all of the maxed things like wooting 80he is. while also being a full size keyboard. you could look trough [https://www.rtings.com/keyboard](https://www.rtings.com/keyboard) to see all of the very tiny details like that for any keyboard you think about(they are pretty reliable and trusted for testing).

I love my jades on my 80, don't understand the issue.

Wooting 80HE and Swiftpoint Z2 with GFN Ultimate here. Superb gaming. That’s more from the Wooting switches than anything else. I feel pretty much zero lag. I doubt I’d pass a blind test between GFN and a laptop under my desk, even playing pvp shooters etc. Edit: LG OLED 48 inch. Heavenly with GFN and HDR games.

If you want best, wooting is basicly only option

Wooting

You can do it with wooting and you will have warranty...

Well you pay less for no coverege of warranty and software can be stopped updating at any time because new model came out. While wooting supports all their products with same features

Venom dosent have controller mode and dks. You can buy module with only pcb plate and stabs and use any case switches you want. Tho if you buy module u have most popular switches with discount already no need of lekkers. And wooting dosent need deadzone settings because it does auto calibration all the time

Well you can make wooting sound creamy but you need pay little bit extra for mods

If you want best, wooting 80he is pretty good, i'am satisfied with it

If you want mod in future wooting 80he fits perfectly

Wooting 80he or Wooting 60v2 depends on size you like

Get wooting 80he module and put switches what ever you want

Wooting has highest performance in any test thats not fake. Plastic case is fine dunno why people are complaining about it. You propably didnt know but they use recyled plastic in making of that keyboard thats why there is little bit of flex. I can agree on lekkers v2 sucking a lot tho. Cant wait for lekker tikken

Oh ye.. wooting has best implementation so far. But all depends on game how it works with multiple input devices at the same time

Hey, as owner of 80he i can highly recommend it for you it is worth of waiting. You can mod their keyboards without losing warranty (case plate switches etc) just do not make any mods to pcb. Where other boards companies won't let you do that. Software is the best on market it is user friendly everything is explained, while most competitor boards software gives me headache while looking on it. (Nuphy and keychron is very close to wooting) Also you will get free feature updates for years without need buying new keyboard. And it is compatible with most he switches on market so you can get one you like put in keyboard and it will work.

It is like that, because 60he has 1k pooling rate and scan rate. Which is slower, compared to 80he without even using xlat wooting 80he would be faster.

Actually 8k pooling rate is basicly placebo. Because you cant feel it

It is not worth it for that price at all.. for 200€ you can buy wooting which is better but not wireless. Those keyboards you listed should be max 100€ to make them even worth

Software, warranty, support and modding support.

Wooting never made wireless keyboard btw

Well i own wooting, I would highly recommend it

If you want best, grt wooting

Get wooting. Wooting keyboard

Which are worse than wooting..

Only wooting is good option from your list

Well if you can go he. Got with wooting 80he tbh. It would be better for gaming than mechanical and it uses standard keycaps

Wooting 80he but modded with gateron tactile jade switches. It would be around 250 max.

Not the person you commented on but it’s Hall effect so the switches just pop in with no soldering, I modded mine with the basic stuff like tape mod, foam, o rings and lubing and have really like the feel of it.

I'd say the 80HE is an easy recommendation. My gf is actually using mine as a daily driver because she likes the way it feels haha. There are certainly cheaper options, though, but the only ones I can really recommend, based on what I've seen (haven't used either, tbh) are the NuPhy and Keychron HE boards, although Keychron's aren't 8KHz. I say this because they're the only ones whose software is even close to the Wootility, and software makes or breaks an HE board. I'm getting an Iqunix EZ63 soon for testing, and that looks like it's a decent performer, even if the software is a little lacking.

FWIW, the PC plate on the 80he is quite nice, although I prefer plastic plates in general. Or are you talking about the case? Anyway, yeah, the delays on the 80HE kinda suck haha. And going from 8 KHz to 1 KHz will hardly be noticeable, imo. You won't lose much in terms of gaming. The only place you'll really notice a difference is in the 0.2 mm minimum actuation distance on the Q1 HE vs 0.1 mm for the Wooting, and really... I don't think you'll actively notice that either unless you're like a jeweller or pro gamer by trade and have that sort of accuracy in your fingertips. Above a certain price point, it's honestly hard to go wrong, anyway, so enjoy your new board!

If it were me, I'd probably go with a Wooting 80HE with a zinc case or the EZ63. I have a PCR 80HE, and with Gateron Jade Pro switches, it sounds pretty great. But I don't think that plastic case is worth $200+. I'd rather spend more and get a more solid case. If you desperately need a 60% size board, get the Iqunix. The EZ63 is an excellent keyboard. Also have one of those. It sounds absolutely excellent with Gateron Jade (closed bottom kind) switches. Mine has the Jade Pros, but the Jade Gaming would sound similar. That said, a decent mech board is going to sound and feel way better than any of these, and you'll only really benefit from the HE features if you're already a very good gamer.

I mean, in FPS games that still allow it, SOCD is a pretty solid advantage, apparently. There are other features, like DKS that allows you to input like four different keys with one keystroke, or analog mode for games that support dual input. But those can take getting used to. I wouldn't say you're gonna need to train to get used to any of it, but it'll feel a bit wonky for a while, as with any change. As for actuation point, I actually find it quite easy to get used to shorter actuation points — until a point. As soon as I drop below like 1.2 mm, I start making hella errors in my typing. Honestly, you might just be better off getting a keyboard that feels really nice to use and calling it a day. I have four HE keyboards available to me (Wooting 80HE, Keychron K4 HE, Iqunix EZ63, Epomaker HE75 Mag), and I still mostly game and type on my mechanical keyboards. They sound better to me, so they're less distracting, and that motivates me to use them.

I have a Wooting 80HE and a bunch of Epomaker boards that cost about half as much. Every last one of the Epomaker boards sounds and feels better to type on, even the $80 TH40, which is a tiny plastic board. Unless you're already very competent at shooters or something like Osu, or you're trying to do controller emulation, I'd just get a normal mech board with low actuation point switches. I'd also look at Wooting alternatives, tbh. Like the Iqunix EZ63 or the NuPhy Air HE boards. They often sound a lot better than the wooting and have very similar feature sets. I will say, though, Wooting has a very good reputation for software support, and the 4 year warranty on Wooting boards is next-level. It all depends on what you want.

Yeah. They also dropped an 80HE recently if you prefer that layout. Hall effect and rapid trigger are definitely much better to play with for responsiveness. Other companies make keyboards with them too, but I like wooting since their software isn’t something you have to run on your computer and is instead just a website to change settings and save

For a Hall effect? Yeah it’s a lot quicker so the number one thing I noticed was my counter strafing was a LOT quicker and better, even just shooting around in Aim Botz. Then, my first game I played with it no bullshit there was someone that typed in chat asking what keyboard I was using so i guess it must’ve been noticeable. Most annoying part is setting up settings for it bc there’s a lot of options. Learning how to use the respective software layout can be annoying to

Maybe to an extent. I wouldn’t say it helps or hurts that habit much. Rapid trigger definitely makes a difference in it, but I was already like 4k hours deep or so when I got it so my timing was decent. Originally when I got a SteelSeries I went off personal preference with actuation and then learned how to put rapid trigger on but with Wooting a cool thing is you can straight up download other people’s profiles and then edit from there so I’ve used Tarik, Elige, Tenz, etc

It's pretty great imo. I don't play online games much and I've been happy with my purchase. The LEDs are bright, Lekker 45 switches are really smooth, the web application software works really well and is snappy. Only thing missing is macros, but it's not a big deal for me personally. Also the analog system works well, I'm playing Stalker 2 with analog movement

I swapped from an XTRFY mechanical keyboard from 2014 to wooting 80HE and im absolutely loving it so far. 80HE is the same as 60HE v2, id get the 80HE.

Really sad that they didn't choose a more standardized layout (e.g. H87). Board is meh. Software is awesome.

The game i play starts showing fps drops on mice starting at 2khz, ive been using multiple HE keyboards in that game on 8khz including the 80HE and none of them showed any fps drops with my 7950x3d.

Dont get me wrong i would use an 80HE for every scrim/tournament no problems. My point is i dont have to, since now theres boards who perform the same if not better and you can order them and get them within a week. Wooting still has the best software and their Support is great but they are not the only option for a consistently performing HE keyboard anymore.

I’ve got the wooting 80HE with ghost case and it sounds soo much thockier than the 60HE. I’ve also got a monsgeek M1W-HE with Akko cream yellow and it’s pretty darn thocky (for my admittedly basic ears). The wooting software is superior if you’re a hardcore gamer though….

I own the wooting 60he (because no TKL existed at the time) and now the wooting 80he. The 80he is a massive improvement and I can easily recommend this keyboard for all gaming and daily typing. The only place where this keyboard may hinder performance is in an office space where you may need a full keyboard (numpad) for numerous reasons. But everything from build quality, to features, ease of use software adjustments, right out of box. I am in love with this keyboard. Profile switching is super easy too so you can customize profiles for difference things you do directly on the keyboard itself. Also the 80he just feels 'tight' not sure how to explain it, its a performer. Best keyboard I've owned, I just wish wooting would make mice now.. but that market is oversaturated

hall effect switches are just so different to normal mechanical switches, and also relatively super young. while they haven’t caught up yet, they are improving fast and already sound very good now imo, like the gateron jade pros or geon raw he’s. owlabs he switches also sound good. a non-modded mechanical keyboard will sound bad just like a non-modded hall effect keyboard would. i like wooting but i say this without any bias, the 80he sounds great, especially when you take the time to personalize it

Best Razer keyboard is a Wooting 80 HE, with Gateron Jade switches, double shot PBT keycaps and zinc alloy base. It's expensive, but you'll be delighted every time you'll touch the keyboard. Oh, and their customization software (online or installed one) is not crap. In fact is the best in industry. Endless customization possibilities, superb product quality, amazing product support. Cheers!

It's an amazing keyboard. I have that one with zinc alloy base and gateron jade switches. But its switches are linear - superb imo. But for office and coding I suggest to spend a fraction of a Wooting for a Cherry Stream Wireless, with scissors switches. It have a terrific-wonderful-superb feeling. Try one and you'll be amazed. And, after all, if you don't like it, you could send it back. https://a.co/d/6cGfbWs

Viper v3 pro and wooting 80he, but personally, I would shop around. I don’t get much value out of my wooting although it is god tier, I only play single player games/ mobas / RTS and these keyboards (he) excel with shooters. Your mouse is definitely subjective. Again, I would do a lot of research and returning to see which one you enjoy the most. But as a start, those are the two “best.”

It's the best Keyboard for gaming but ok with everything else. Would've been better if it was a classic tkl layout at least instead of that abomination.

My 80 HE sounds and feels worse than my custom, but the fact that i can spam a key without any delay in inputs makes it worth using in any game that requires lots of key presses.

Wooting... For people that say, why get wooting when there are so many options. Wootility software is awesome and the keyboards are super solid. I tried another brand and you had to choose to enable one feature or the other, but couldn't have both and ultimately it was not as well developed software. I have an 80HE and love it.

Wooting 80He. Raw zinc case with white keycaps. It’s going to hit just over your $300 range with those options but man, this is my favorite keyboard by far.

Yes, it is still a great option for non competitive games. Use it all the time when playing Genshin and other sinple player games no problem!

Aula F99. It's a full sized custom keyboard with tri-mode connectivity, feels and sounds miles better than these. And these Razer keyboards are okay but feel awful imo. These Razer/Asus/Logitech keyboards are okay but you pay for the brand. I had Razer, Logitec, Corsair for years, after trying a "custom" keyboard I'm neeever going back. Or you can get a Hall Effect keyboard which are mostly for gamers. Wooting 80HE, Zoom75 HE (Very premium), Monsgeek M1W V3 HE, Keycron Q1 HE. Etc. I have a list on my profile, but haven't updated it recently

Unlimited budget? Wooting 80HE or Made84 Pro (the Made84 performs better on paper but real world it's minimal difference and the Wooting is a much more popular board).

Well said "Are you good enough to notice or take advantage of a 1ms difference in performance?" In my opinion, I doubt that even professionals will notice it and that it will have any impact on their performance. In my case, I chose Wooting because of the package offered. It was the only HE sold locally, the software, solid build quality, guaranteed future support, etc. And personally, I think it's silly to wonder whether Wooting is still "the king" or not. That's a very subjective thing. What really matters is that Wooting is still a good and reliable option.

I already bought the 80HE. 😄 Now i am just searching for some good stabilizers and some nice keycaps.

Just to update. I ended up purchasing the Wooting 80HE, a Wrist Rest and a Cable ( the "Take Control" is too nice looking to ignore). Estimated delivery from January 5th to January 28th, 2025. I hope the wait will be worth it.

You really gotta ask yourself what are the actual functions you're looking for in keyboards these days. The software for any Keychron keyboard is likely to blow the functionality of that keyboard clean out of the water. Any other QMK/VIA controlled keyboards could do the same. Keychron Q1 HE and Wooting 80HE are two of the hands down best keyboards out there with insane customizability. From custom activation depth on a per key basis, to the fundamentally faster release and reactivation the 80HE can achieve over other keyboards. These both support macros and per key rebinding, along with advanced bindings the older software from the bigger names can't offer. If you really need the keypad, buy one separately, Keychron does a great job there too. You'll free up a ton of room on your desk. You can also set up those keyboards to allow numpad bindings with very little extra configuration.

Any wooting keyboard really, I have the 60HE+ and that is perfectly fine. Don't spend more for the 80HE just for the 8K polling, it isn't noticeable and isn't worth it.

If your going for hall effect then the wooting HE is the best in raw performance along with Razers optical in the huntsman. For actually using the wooting would be better. Nuphy field 75 HE, Halo 65HE, Wooting 80& 65, keychron Q1 he, k4 he, or Lemokey P1 HE. I like the Lemokey since it's keychron with the same webapp, it's full metal, it costs ~$160 which makes it middle of the price pack but not as expensive as a metal wooting. The L5 is similar with slightly better polling rate. The Nuphy Field 75 is also good, but it's a bit gamery and plastic.

I had to wedge the USB-C connector on mine as after three months of just sitting on my desk without any issues it started to lose connection. Does not really gives me confidence about their quality control. I understand they upped their production massively to meet demand, but it seems to me it came at the price of quality I expect for a keyboard in this price range.

I just got my 80HE 3 weeks back, and for gaming it’s been a beast and the newest eventually gives you a head start. The software is the best according to me after being a razer addict, using their broken software for years and still using it. Sound cannot be the basis to get a new keyboard when you gonna have speakers or headphones playing audio eventually unless you work and without music. That cannot be the scenario for buying the 80HE. Unless you wanna spend loads of money on just a keyboard, just get a mechanical keyboard and customize it accordingly.

XD as another 80he owner, i've always been a fullsize keeb user or a 1800 layout user. i regularly use my numpad for voice coms and hotkeys/shortcuts. but i've found my solve by utilizing a macropad (Duckypad pro) but prior to that i was just running 2 keyboards on my desk and running the old keyboard as a fullsize macropad XD

80HE, then figure out which HE switches you want.

meanwhile wooting still gives support to their first keyboard run that ran flaretech switches. wheres that support for the china brands? almost nonexistant. big name brands? lmfao they just want your money.

Second, currently have one and it's great

Wooting is still the best option out there but the competition like keychron, razer, iqunix and many more have pretty much caught up with wooting in terms of features. The thing is just that wooting has (probably also because they set the standard) the most polished software and feature integration. They are also the most customizable. In comparison the keychron Q1 HE has all the same features as the Wooting 80HE, but firmware updates sometimes wipe profiles, the keychron launcher has occasional issues with detecting the keyboard andfor customization, it has less switch options, and its case isnt intended to be changed. But once you have the keyboard set up and the profiles installed, there really are no major differences. These little inequalities are less important than the keyboards actual look, sound and size.

I’ve got a 80HE and it’d probably the best keyboard I’ve ever used or seen. Top quality craftsmanship, it’s buttery smooth and a lot of nice features. Very customizable. I like how you can use a website for software rather than installing shit

I had the 60HE and now I have the 80HE. 60HE was okay, 80HE is perfectly fine, to be honest I did go ahead and lubed the keys myself. The foam they added made all the difference.

I really don't like non tactile switches for typing but for a keyboard like the 80HE linear switches is the only kind that makes sense. I also prefer different physical layouts for gaming and typing. It's a hard no for mixed use from me but for other people it's not an issue at all.

I use the 80HE mostly from coding and typing because of work. The experience is fine, it also comes with an almost flat case and the wrist rest is quite nice so that helps too with comfort. Most HE switches are linear so if you liked tactile or clicky switches, you won’t find many of them in HE boards since actuation is dynamic. There are a few but not really the best.

That's just so wrong tho, ofc there is a best and that's 100% the Wooting 80HE.

Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 or Wooting 80HE are the absolute best

Absolutely still worth. While you can buy or even make sounding/feeling mechanical keyboards and maybe find faster though less documented keyboards for more/less $, i’d say wooting’s keyboards really shine as an all-around good products. Personally, I notice the benefits of wooting’s keyboard even outside of comp games. As someone who plays both comp and non-comp games, the low latency, customizable actuation settings when adjusted to your preferences, and rapid trigger, all these make movement in any game, whether it be complex movement tech or simple strafing, even typing can feel snappier, cleaner, and faster IMO. Good high gaming-performance, Good build-quality, One of the cleanest looking, easy to use, and reliable keyboard software utilities (Wootility) that can also runs directly in your browser without having to download anything unlike Razer Synapse or Logitech G hub. An abundance of features to try for yourself: low latency, rapid trigger, customizable actuation points, snappy tappy/snap tap, custom controller emulation, analog inputs, hotkeys, keybinds, modtap, custom profile creation and profile hotkeys (i.e. maybe a profile for gaming w sensitive switches, one for typing, one for productivity another for a specific game), rgb while i have off wooting’s implementation is pretty cool when it visualizes the analog inputs. additionally, if you can also easily customize the wooting80he, you could put it in a different case, and or change the hotswap switches to other hall effect ones like Geon raw HE if you want a different feel or sound.

I think this is more or less accurate. it's a perfectly fine custom mechanical, but at its price there are definitely more premium alternatives. while HE switches are more diverse than 2 years ago, they are still not close to traditional mechanicals in terms of feel and sound variety. But it's as good as or better than all the competition in terms of ease of use and customizability from a gaming perspective. And for me personally it fits my minimum viability criteria of (i) less than full size, but with (ii) a full size right shift key, and (iii) arrow keys. I can take or leave the F-row.

Just got the 80he lastweek I love it. The options, speed, rapid, community, discord forum. I couldn't wait for the v2 and I needed a larger board

r/MechanicalKeyboards and r/MouseReview would be better to ask specific questions. Wooting 80he is what I have, and I like it, mainly got it cause of the software. Keychron has a pretty nice he wood one. If you search on YouTube, budget wooting, there are alot of decent HE keyboards on the market now, and they all basically do the same thing. I can't help you with mice because I don't know what grip style you like/have. All I know is that you like the viper mini SE so I showed you all the mice with similar shapes to that mice. There's literally nothing else I can do for you. I got the incott g23 v2 because i like the gpx 2 shape but its half the price for better quality.

Nobody has made a nice hall effect switch yet. They all feel like typing on metal, and sound bad. Wooting 80 is an okay board with a lunatic form factor. They should have just made a TKL or 75% because that's what everyone wanted, and had they gone TKL there were already a couple standardized layouts they could have chosen from and immediately had a third party customization ecosystem like they did with their 60%. Wooting software is great though, and hall effect switches function is amazing with it.

Its a good faming board, reliable, fast and customization is made simple via the great software All that said if warranty and software/long term support means little to you its hard to justify the cost and i feel this way about both the 60 and 80

If you’re looking for a one-time endgame purchase of a keyboard for osu! (and frankly just gaming in general), the Wooting 60/80HE keyboards are no-brainers. If you want an HE keyboard but also want to cut down the cost, I would suggest checking out the Aula WIN68 HE. It’s a $30-35 budget hall effect keyboard that I got a few months ago, and it works phenomenally. It has a relatively intuitive software (not as good as Wooting’s, but you take what you can get), a compact 68% form and great build quality. I don’t know much about the DD a75 master, so I can’t help you with that. Regardless, good luck with finding a keyboard!

Software is why I went with Wooting. I’m becoming a grumpy gamer who wants as little software for my peripherals as possible. The fact that the Wooting is browser based and so simple to use is a huge plus for me. That being said I would be prepared for the stock Lekker switches to suck. If you don’t already have keycaps the ones that come stock are surprisingly quality. If you do already have keycaps then I would save some money and get the barebones version so you can choose a different switch. I went with the Gateron Jade Pros and have been really happy with them. The stabilizers on the Wooting are also abominable, but luckily that’s not a difficult or expensive fix.

Another vote for the Wooting. Great keyboard and great software (no download and it works great). Profiles saved to the keyboard. Also updates on 5 year old models. Not sure I'd recommend Razer given their history of not supporting products and locking new software behind buying the newest models... Everything beyond this point is an edit: I forgot to mention sound. I came from a Logitech G513 tactile. The Wooting Lekkar V2s on my 80HE as quite a bit quieter but still have a satisfying thwack when they bottom. My girlfriend usually sits in the room and does her own thing and she's commented that the Wooting is much less intrusive. As others have mentioned, the feel is different than a mechanical. Instead of you pressing the switch and then it getting to a break point where travel becomes easier until bottom, pressure slowly increases as you compress the switch. It took a little getting used to but I like it now. Bottom line: has it made me a better gamer? No, I don't think so. But I enjoy my games a little more now and I don't think I could go back. Kinda like when I switch to 21x9. It didn't make me better (it's objectively a less competitive screen dimension), but I enjoy my games more. I almost exclusively play PVP FPS games.

Depends what you mean by best. All will have similar performance. Wooting has the best software but you can get keyboards like the MadLion for £40 which have better performance across the board. It just isn’t worth buying Wooting at the moment unless you want analog output which is only supported by Wootlity and Synapse. For 75% the K2 HE is a nice board for performance and quality sound/feel. If you only care about performance the Huntsman V3 Pro has the least dead zone space and better control over the switches in stock performance due to weight and stability. Hall sensors are extremely cheap to produce now. When Steelseries revived Hall effect PCBs were quite expensive to produce. Depends what you want honestly.

No price limit? WLMouse Ying 60/75, Wooting HE 60/80, Iqunix EZ60/75 Mid range? ATK RS7, VENOM60HE (PCB ONLY)0 Cheap? FUN60 HE, ATTACK SHARK 60HE. AJAZZ AK680 HE really depends on what you want out of the keyboard. In performance they are all similar, but with more premium options you get better software, less latency, and (most important for me) a more satisfying typing/gaming experience.

I put new keycaps and 2 o rings on the space bar and it sounds exponential better. Then you do a custom actuation cuz it takes like 2.0mm of travel. I prefer clicky switches but at work I don't wanna annoy people so I bring my wooting Lekker edition. https://preview.redd.it/jd8hvxsia56f1.png?width=1216&format=png&auto=webp&s=def6a033ab7d0300c7fe39541b51b2542a43c1e1

quality issues stem from the fact the lekker switches are wobbly and sound terrible, the plastic cases are light and have a cheap feeling finish, the black aluminum case was known to have issues of the finish rubbing off, and the wooting keycaps are honestly terrible feeling, there's a jagged layer for friction but it just makes the keycaps look cheap.

wooting has good software and there's no problem with buying the module. It might be overpriced compared to other boards out there now but the payment is in the software, and for those who believe in wooting's r&d. There's appeal to the fact they're one of the first to popularize the he board. That being said the plastic cases and lekker switches are indeed awful.

Wooting or Keychrons Hall effect keyboards are amazing, I thought it wouldn’t change that much but I really don’t like normal keyboards after it.

So the only advantage of this technology is the sound they make? Honestly I cannot care less about the sound of the key, I did not buy a Wooting for the sound it makes.

Nope. I have a wooting and can play just as good on some old school membrane 😆

Wooting keyboard will help you a little with counter-strafing but actually doing it is still up to you. I've used cheap keyboards since forever and a few months ago i bought a G PRO X 60 which doesn't have rapid triggers and all that nice stuff that wooting has but it is a good keyboard, since buying this 'more expensive' keyboard i can land hard jumps more consistently like jumping from redroom on the edge towards heaven(on ancient), however i did not notice an improvement in counter-strafing (because i've played the game for a long time and i do it right without even thinking about it, leetify's always rating my counter strafing in the high 80 and most of the time around 90-95+). The only difference between the cheap keyboards i've used and the G PRO X 60 is that it's a little more responsive/faster and pressing multiple keys at once just feels more "accurate" (the latter reason is probably why i can hit the hard jumps more consistently) However, i do not recommend the G PRO X 60 because it's a little too expensive for what it has to offer, you can probably find a better keyboard for the same price as the G PRO X 60.

If you have a really fast monitor and a good pc try getting 8000hz polling rate alongside with your rapid trigger and snap tap or whatever. I would personally pick wooting over razer

just go for a wooting keyboard best of the best

Analog Keyboards if you're planning on playing anything but WoW Even besides that, the macro the multi-layer keybind possiblities of Wooting for example are endless, wouldn't trade mine for anything else Mice kinda different tho, if you plan on playing anything else (like shooters for example) think about maybe investing in two seperate mice, one for WoW and one for shooters - if all you're playing is WoW just go for the Scimitar or the Aerox

Get a wooting. It's the only gaming keyboard worth buying.

wooting is the best for cs imo but any mechanical keyboard will suffice

Wooting or steelseries apex pro. Every other keyboard is a waste of money if you mainly play fps. I bought the apex pro about a year ago and I cannot stress the difference between this and classical mechanical keyboards enough. They feel like trash going back to.

Doesn’t bother me to not have the key labels. My Wooting keyboard is the best I’ve owned.

Any good board with hall effect or optical switches. Analogue gives you far more precision than digital switches. Lower input latency as well. Wooting is the best in terms of software, and IMO worth the money. There are much cheaper boards like the Epomaker HE80 if you just want to try the feel of hall effect switches. Last time I tried these cheaper brands the input latency was excellent but the rapid trigger support and build quality was mediocre.

don’t buy a budget hall effect keyboard, all the switches suck on them and they have horrible latency, js save for a wooting or apex pro tbh

i mean i bought 2 budget hall effect keyboards (i collect “gaming” keyboards) and from my experience they sounded and felt horrible, key caps were cheap and got worn out very easy, but you can also just replace those, it’s not a big deal, and finally the latency was horrible. for example, in fortnite i average around 10 ping and as a very mechanical player, i felt a huge latency and played better on my razer huntsman, because it had significantly less latency even if it didn’t have the adjustable actuation. if you want my advice, don’t buy one and save for a wooting tbh. or, for cheaper an apex pro mini. not worth the 50+ dollars your gonna spend after tax and shipping

A little strange, that you’re considering TKL and 60% at the same time. If you don’t mind ordering from AliExpress, take a look at Weikav K-ONE 80. Don’t even consider Steelseries or Razer, if you care about typing feel/sound. I can’t justify paying 200$ for plastic case Wooting too. iqunix boards are fine, but overpriced for what they offer compared to the competitors.

Yeah, if you don't want to deal with Ali, then just stick with Wooting. Chinese boards are way overpriced, when bought outside of Ali/Tao. Official sites are good example, when something like ATK EDGE 60/68 priced almost 100$ higher (shipping is also not included) on official site than on Taobao. https://preview.redd.it/q9sep5wvnpcf1.png?width=1505&format=png&auto=webp&s=e6f3cfd113b58c687a30c76381330f5ef7617f8f

I’m so confused how “the market has so many options” the market does not have many cheaper options for the only features that actually help in tac FPS games. Razer has one now? It’s the Same price but without years of reviews so it’s uncertain and Wooting is reliable we all know it genuinely gives competitive advantage. If your to buy a keyboard and truly value performance over all else isn’t it like the only option? If you truly value performance over anything else. Rapid trigger with magnetic keys are the only thing about a keyboard that really gives you an advantage right? I’m unaware of anything else that could possibly matter than true performance, rapid trigger and reliability?

Wait I’m confused I’m not a wooting fanboy I’ve just genuinely never encountered this argument? Anywhere I’ve ever looked at people who only speak about rapid trigger performance have always said get the wooting? What makes Wooting at all lesser in anyway than another brand of rapid trigger? Is there something I deadass don’t know? I’ve never seen another argument that could possibly matter so I’m genuinely lost? If you don’t care about sound or feel or looks, anything like that just the performance of my rapid trigger what keyboard is more reliable?

120-160$ to insure you have the best possible keyboard on the market…. It’s the price of the highest performance mice…. A third or less of the price of the best monitors…. A tenth of the price of the top tier performance pc’s…. I just buy the damn keyboard and stop loookig for alternatives that COULD be equal

The only complaints about wooting are like price, little customization, sound? Shitty plastic case for 160$ but nothing about performance or reliability

Latency is a good argument thank you:) the first useful thing you’ve said. And yes all research points to wooting that I’ve ever seen. It’s the most tested customizable and incredibly reliable state of the art rapid trigger and that is all I care about. These other two you stated I just saw don’t even have consistent latency measurements by independent parties yet, unknown reliability. And way worse and less extensive software. Wooting is stilll yet to be dethroned. So you’re a moron.

***Endgame Gear KB65HE*** if youre looking for something 60% and budget. Any from the ***Wooting*** lineup, they're the go to for hall effect and essentially made it a 'thing'. ***Steelseries Apex Pro series*** if you want something more 'premium' with lots of software capabilities. Theres lots of hall effect keyboards, you can find them as cheap as 40 bucks on amazon in the UK, but i wouldnt settle for less than the Endgame KB65HE. All that I mentioned are hall effect and if you want to prioritise movements, you need hall effect.

Depends on what you want. Generally, avoid gaming brands: Razer (exception for the Blackwidow V4 75% regular and Pro, those are good), Steelseries (except the Apex Pro, maybe, but even then). If you genuinely want the best gaming keyboard you can get, get a Wooting. It's great quality, repairable, their support is amazing, and it's objectively the best for gaming. Look into Hall Effect switches to understand Wooting's advantages. Wootings are not wireless though. If you want something that sounds and feels good, and don't care about 1ms extra reponse time or Hall Effect switches, Keychron is probably your safest bet. They sound, feel and last 100x better than Logitech's junk and cost like 10$ extra. Their wireless is also great. Generally, though, the best thing you can do is buy a hotswap keyboard. Hotswap means you can swap out the switches at any point and therefore if they break, you can just get any new switches you want. It effectively makes a board last forever, unless you break the PCB. TL;DR: Look into Keychron for keyboards similar to Logitech in price, except they are objectively better in every way, and look into Wooting for the best keyboards mechanically, i.e. best reponse times, best switch design, best support, 100% most durable.

If you game a lot, especially in fps games, it'll be a pretty big advantage. I've had a wooting & the advantages were pretty noticable. that being said I still switched back to my custom keyboard after a few months solely because it feels way better, but I am a pretty big linear switch hater.

Wooting is the only option

I have a Wooting, I love it compared to the previous 3 SteelSeries keyboards I had/have. I do however think it's a little overpriced at the end of the day. I'd probably go with a Keycron HE today if I was shopping

Wooting he. Still the best performance you can get out of a gaming keyboard

Ah yes the rapid trigger and adjustable actuation points Me with a Wooting keyboard: so you’re a man of culture as well

well depends on what you are looking for in a keyboard, i wouldnt recommend getting one unless you're a pro or you have tons of spare money to spend. I've got one wooting sitting there collecting dust while using meletrix keyboard for everything including valorant apex etc, ( meletric just sound way better ).... the difference is very minor to me, the only thing that i would notice a difference is hitting instant slide in apex.

Personally I love Wooting.

True, good point, there is other options now. When I bought my Wooting there wasn’t much anything else in the market. Basically just Boog75 which was worse and more expensive.

I used a Logitech G910 for 10 years - a good keyboard, but with buggy software. And since magnetic keys are better for gaming, I switched to **Wooting**. It doesn't require software (the settings are stored on the keyboard), but you can't set up macros. If you really need to, you can always use AHK, which is more stable than any software from peripheral.

I’ve been using the keyboard for a while and although the sound is crappy, I like how it feels. The magnetic switches just feels like heaven for me. The sounds can be improved by lubrication and some mods which makes it sound pretty good. But when we’re talking about if it is “worth it”. No, ofc it’s not “worth it”. It’s made of cheap parts, it doesn’t sound good, the only merit is he which now other keyboards have for cheaper. But the thing is, it’s Wooting. Using the keyboard makes me feel good because it is Wooting. Therefore it will boost your gaming performance in other games as well lol. If I’m happy, I do better in my games :D

Wooting works prefectly, the software too

I’ve had a lot of keyboards and would say tactiles are nicest for typing, but I currently don’t have a single keyboard with tactiles. I currently main a wooting which feels great on Celeste.

Plz no razer keyboard 🫣. I would recommend the wooting as it is an amazing company. High quality products and it really gives u an competitive advantage.

it's not the best keyboard, it's the best software. there are far better built keyboards that feel and sound better for way cheaper, but without the same great software. a lot of people care more about not spending $175 for a rattly plastic 60% than about how easy it is to switch your rgb or actuation settings.

its HE technology is not the fastest nor the most overkill precise, even though the difference is small. it also (in my opinion) does not sound near as good as something like Hummingbird68 which is not even half the price. your only valid points are modding and software, which i agree with

a large portion of equally priced and cheaper alternatives come in metal cases. wooting is super overpriced. where are these benchmarks?

of which you can easily find alternatives that dont have these issues, like the previously mentioned hummingbird68, or made68, or nuphy he boards, or iqunix boards, etc. wooting is good, but you're about 2 years late to calling it the best

in the HE space, wooting dominates the market. i dont get what you're trying to do. yes, nuphy HE boards have better response times... thats what ive been saying

i did, and no one would accept it. i agreed that wooting is the best option for customer support, software, and software support. its not my fault people kept claiming better response times and accuracy when that's not true.

Wooting keyboard is worth the money, some people swear by expensive mice like Lamzu or high end Logitech mice, Personally don't like spending hundreds on a small PCB and some plastic but to each their own. Glorious Model O has been a fantastic mouse for me and I used the G305 for years.

Wooting. The software alone is far above majority of the kb softwares out there. It can simulate even console controllers if you're into that. Actually I don't think any other software even comes close to the customization of it. The Hall Effects switches are nice. If your competitive I recommend it more. Personally. It's not that expensive for a keyboard. Especially with everything else going up in price, I think their price is more than justified. Is it for everyone? No. Im willing to bet majority of gamers don't need it.

I have two separate keyboards, one for gaming and one for work. Also have two separate mouse for the same reason. I really believe you should separate the two. Otherwise you'll have something that sort of works for each and never truly feel comfortable with what you're using. I have an ergonomic Logitech keyboard and the MX master 3s mouse for work. For gaming I use the ninjitsu Sora V2 mouse and the wooting keyboard

There are other keyboards that sound and feel better for a lower cost. I use wooting for valorant but meletrix for other games/productivity for aesthetics, sound and feel

I've liked my Wooting a lot.

Best gaming keyboard seems to be a Wooting. A 4 year warranty tells me a lot about a company. What’s your budget? I just went from a steel series Apex Pro TKL Gen 2 to Keychron Q1 HE. Have a Wooting 80HE on the way so I’ll keep either the Wooting or Keychron. Steel Series is 100% going back. It felt good upgrading to the Steel Series but the Keychron is on another level.

Software, reliability, and brand name. When you play a game like CS2 and see that over 75% of pros use a Wooting or Razer, you’re more likely to purchase the same. Same logic behind Logitech GPX 2 Superlight. It’s $150+, dozens of mice with almost identical shape, faster sensors, lighter, better switches, half the price, but people continue to buy it because it’s Logitech, decent software, and used a ton by pros. Also one really nice thing about Wooting from my experience is their customer support and transparency.

Just get a wooting keyboard it s the bestest in the market

Wooting. Thats the most high end tech keyboard out there. There are other magnetic switches provider but Wooting is the only one with a software able to modify the key travel for better reaction times.

As far as im concerned; Wooting are the pioneers. In fact, Nuphy uses a chinise brand of magnetic switches(Magnetic Jade Pro switches) and Wooting uses their own fabricated and researched switches(Lekker switches). So yeah. Wooting will always be the top as of now with this tech.

After doing tons of research, watched as many YouTube videos I could find (seriously) and read through hundreds of Reddit/Forum recommendations and I’ve come to one conclusion. Wooting is the single and only answer for HE keyboards. All these HE keyboards will never live up to a good custom board nor even a good prebuilt (rd75, rainy75, bridge75, HHKB, etc etc). The only thing you’re buying an HE keyboard for is for the gaming software, and Wooting has the undisputed best software. Side note. I currently main an HHKB Type-S and HHKB Studio for non gaming. I originally bought a M1 V5 HE based on recommendations. This was the wrong decision, just passing my research along to the next person. Feel free to do whatever you’d like with it. Good luck with your decision.

Buying Wooting in 2025, you really have to believe that HE provides something for the typical player, besides marketing slogans.

Yes, I wouldn't have written it otherwise. For 99% of people, HE doesn't give anything, because it basically only helps in competetive games like CS or Fortnite. But if you don't play at a high level, it won't give much either, because the keyboard won't give a skill. In games other than FPS it doesn't give anything at all, because, for example, I play WoW, PoE, Diablo, various RPG games and in each game the HE effect is completely unnecessary, for example, in PoE turning on the gamepad simulation, changes the whole interface under the gamepad, so the game becomes completely unplayable, because the cursor disappears, the rapid trigger itself doesn't give anything either, because whether I press a key with an activation of 0.1ms or 4ms won't make me kill mobs faster. In racing games, it is cheaper to buy a gamepad, and if someone plays more professionally, he will buy steering wheels.

I've owned, tried and used a LOT of keyboards.. Currently have an MMK, Keychron, and a Wooting among note of my mechanicals.. and prefer my BlackWidow hands down. Also have a few different Logitech and SteelSeries and a Corsair.. not a fan of any of them

Just get a wooting. Razers are over priced for what they are. Wooting is expensive. But they are the best keyboards

Anything is better than Razer if we’re talking a keyboard used for gaming and you dont want to throw money away. Wooting all the way. Razer markets too hard, lies far too much, and thinks all gamers are idiots.

Was gonna say, I recently made the switch from Razer to a Wooting keyboard and oh boy the difference is insane, I feel like I’m controlling my character in real time. I’m glad I made the switch.

I really love the wooting products. They use linear switches with hall sensors, meaning that it is insane precise and the switches itself degrade slower than other switches (with the latter beeing less important, as keyboards tend to break down before the switches do, at least in a hot swap system). They have a 60, 80 and 100% profile, very nice optional software and a great customer support. I am not planning on ever buying a keyboard from a different company.

getting a wooting is always a good option, corsair also makes and HE keyboard now under the k75 tlk

If pricing isnt an issue i would get a wooting. If you play competive games its worth it.

Same and especially because of SOCD. The movement is so much better.

I can't stand the huntsmen's sound or feel. It just feels like a cheap, rattly mess compared to my Wooting. However coming from a membrane, I could see it seeming like a huge upgrade. There are just so many better keyboards around the same price or cheaper.

For counter strafing for example you have at least have an understanding of the mechanic to execute it, however wooting will help you execute the counter strafing mechanic by making it easier to deactivate and activate keys when ever you want (you don't have to worry about the actuation points) making it easier to counter stafing and not press the two movement keys (a and d at the same time) a player who is VERY good (pro level for example) will likely have near perfect counter strafing regardless of the keyboard due to the amount of hours they put in and skill they have.

Do you play cs? like I said you still have to understand the learn the mechanic but something like the wooting will just help you execute it / allow a greater margin of error with deactivating and activating keys, if you want you can have it so as soon as you press your finger down the key registers and as soon as you let go it de registers, you don't have to worry about the actuation point but you still have to understand the mechanic

I would just say it's the next step in keyboards, you either press the key or you don't there is no in between, things like snap tap are what I would say are different

Just get a Wooting. They’re good for everything and fit within your budget.

What I'm trying to say is there won't be any improvement to your gaming performance when upgrading a keyboard, HE keyboard is just a gimmick. Even with Wooting you still won't play better than playing with what you're having right now and I'm saying that as an owner of 2 Wooting board.

For keyboards wooting for sure. Their wootility is either web app or downloadable to your machine, and they have Linux specific instructions on how to make keyboard visible for the software

I recently bought a 2nd hand wooting and it’s been so good to use. Before that I was using a hi ground 65 and that was great too but the wooting feels so good for cs

To an extent. I own an analog keyboard (Wooting) and I must say that Rapid Trigger makes a noticeable difference, feels a lot more responsive. Its not going to be the difference between being bad or good at the game tho.
