Wooting - 80HE

Wooting 80he bro it's sooo good

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

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.

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.

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!

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.)

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.

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

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’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….

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.

My raw one is beautiful. I love it. As a keyboard fan, even if I wasnt a wooting fan, I'd get one just because it's a different case from all the usual plastic and aluminum cases. There are a bit of spot marks as wooting admitted the process for building them would have them, so it's understandable, but it does make it look dirty with fingerprints

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).

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.

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’m waiting for my 80he zinc cost me $560 Canadian, hope it’s worth it

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
