80HE

If you are talking about wooting80-60 then yes. Same thing, just bigger. Wooting80 modules can sit in the KBD holy80 case.

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

I would rather buy a Wooting board than a mass-produced gaming branded boards

Best "performance" wise? Wooting. Best HE custom yet still perform good? A Geon Frog/F1/F2 case with a Venom PCB, gateron jade/owlab/Geon HE switches, stabies/knight v4 stabilizers and GMK keycaps.

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).

I don't know if you're already into Keyboard customisation, but if not, then I'd say do what I did, I got the 80HE with just the plastic which honestly sounds and feels completely fine, anything from there is just for aesthetic and personalisation, if you really enjoy your 80HE like I have you may then properly feel like turning into your own, I think its something you should really only decide when you know the keyboard is going to be for you especially for the extra costs customisation can equate to.

I have my 80HE and love it, I won't run a 60% again because I need the F key row for some games plus enjoy them in general computer usage. Split spacebar does seem cool, but that seems to be coming to a new 80HE module eventually. I started with the plastic case, it's totally good for use, but after 6 months or so I bought the raw zinc case, no real functional improvement besides being not flexible if you care about that, it's also very heavy so no chance it'll move on your desk. Mainly, just a great sound upgrade and visually it looks awesome. Love raw metal.

I love wooting keyboards. Their software is the best on the market and with that budget you'll fit in comfortably. Love the customisation and the community. I have the wooting 80HE and thats one of my best buys in many many years
