Wooting - Two HE

+1 for Wooting. I have the 80% for home where I mostly game, but had to buy a full Wooting for work because it feels so nice to type on.

I've been hunting through subreddits for gaming keyboard recommendations for a few days now and I'm not finding ones that match my needs. Everyone seems to be obsessed with miniature and minimalist keyboards, but I absolutely hate those. I need a full size keyboard with a full number pad and preferably some macro keys. I've had a Corsair K95 with MX Brown switches for around 10 years, I love it but it's starting to break down on me and I really want something more modern. The K100 is too expensive.. I've seen Keychron recommended a lot but I personally find them to be really ugly. I see Reddragon a lot too, but some of their other products I've used felt cheaply built in the past. I'm currently eyeing the Wooting Two HE, it's at the top of my budget but I like how it looks and it has the keypad. I'm willing to sacrifice the macro keys but I'm worried that the (seemingly) insanely impressive performance might be counterintuitive for me. I'm a gamer who works from home so I'm on my computer 10-16 hours a day, but I don't play competitive games at all. Does the performance of Wooting keyboards end up being too quirky for users who don't game competitively, and if so, is there a better option out there for someone like me?

So I bought the Wooting Two HE, and I'm instantly feeling like I don't like it. The keys are really heavy and mushy, and not tactile at all. It could be something that I'll get used to over time but the heaviness of the keys worries me. They take significantly more force to press than my Corsair keyboard and I already suffer from finger strain especially in my pinky fingers. I'll give it a week or two to see if it grows on me but the lack of tactile-ness is giving me the bad brain feelings. Also the wrist rest accessory not only functionally useless it's uncomfortable too.

Keychron might be your only option. Since HE is typically marketed for gaming and companies don't really make 100% gaming keyboards. If you don't mind wired wooting two seems good.

Those might be your only options. Unless you're open to a num/macropad paired with a tkl or something

Between the two I’d get the wooting which is a Hall effect keyboard. But there’s a lot of better quality Hall effect keyboards you can get for the price if not cheaper. They’re definitely available in Canada they have a few on Amazon.

Yea I’d definitely get a Hall effect keyboard I use one for cs2 and it gives an advantage when it comes to movement. Everglide su75 pro, Irok mg75 pro/max, chilkey slice 75, monsgeek m1 v5 tmr, mchose jet 75, IPI Aurora 75, ATK Hex 80, Iquinix ez80, and Akko Tac75 HE. These are all good tmr (which is similar to Hall effect but newer tech and some people consider it better) or hall effect keyboards at different prices. You can find videos on youtube about each and do your own research from there, I suggest migss on youtube he does some pretty in depth reviews on keyboards. I’m not 100 percent sure if they all ship to Canada but I would imagine most do. Also stay away from big brands like Razer, Corsair, Logitech etc. They aren’t necessarily bad but the build quality isn’t too good for what you pay for them.

Of the wooting? They have a full size keyboard on there website it’s called the wooting two he.

Hey mate, there really isn't a best stock switch or modified switch, it's all personal preference I may like heavy scratchy switches and you may like light buttery smooth switches, so my best is your worst stock switch you know. If you just want a pure "gaming" performance KB I guess this one from wooting would be OK: https://wooting.io/wooting-two-he This is just my 2c, pretty much all kbs are going to be 1k polling which is more than good enough. In my experience gaming on a wooting did not really bring any real noticeable difference from playing on one of my custom KBs rocking standard mx blacks or any other standard cherry styled switch. You're going to be a bit limited on choice with a full-size, but if you go for a TKL or 75%, you're going to get more choices at the cost of the numpad.

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

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..

For gaming halleffect is a king. But for full size you only Have wooting twohe or keychron

I never had keychron he board in my hand but i own multiple wooting keyboards

Well get wooting because it only have decent implementation

Wooting firmware and software is still top, they always will lead and everyone will try to copy them. Most of halleffect keyboards do not support analogue (gamepad emulation), only wooting does that. Also if you want mod anything wooting is 99% compatible because parts are made to be compatible with wooting including switches. And Yes wooting is outperforming every halleffect keyboard because of consistiency. And if you want quick keyboard, you need good firmware

Now, in gaming halleffect is a king. I would recommend wooting, i have their keyboards already for few years and they are great with eveything so far. Also modding those keyboards is quite easy. (and if you dont like case or mounting style there are github with case files etc so you can make your own) .

Also op, wooting is dutch company. In fps games you would get most gains from rapid trigger and from socd (if it is not banned in ur game) it makes that actuation point is Dynamic. Also it is very responsive (though if you are on lowest possible settings like 0.1mm actuation point and 0.1m rapid trigger you could experience misclicks)

Going with wooting is always safer choice tbh due to their warranty policy

Well wooting is great tho

You should be able to find cheap Chinese QMK/VIA keyboards in UK ISO layout on places like Aliexpress. Wooting Two HE has a great native app as well as a web app, full reprogramability and four dedicated macro keys, but it's more expensive. Hall effect switches are pretty pog if you play certain kinds of games, response time is nuts.

If you're specifically looking for a magnetic-switch full-size gaming keyboard, the Wooting Two HE is the one most users consistently consider the benchmark. Most users highly praised it for its excellent gaming performance and advanced rapid trigger system, which gives you noticeably faster actuation and better control in shooters. It’s also built well and has solid long-term reliability. FWIW I recently checked Reddit sentiment data on magnetic-switch boards, and the Wooting models dominate most recommendations because of performance and support. You can filter by switch type or budget if you want to compare. Small disclaimer that some links are affiliate and help fund the analyses.

I use a Cherry KC 1000 half of the time and a Wooting Two HE the other half. Wooting is just awesome and mechanical keyboards in general are so much nicer and better. Is it worth the higher price? Depends, if you take care of it and can use it for many years then yes.

I picked up a Wooting 2 HE last year and I noticed my aim felt smoother thanks to the analog actuation that let me fine-tune my movement in CS2.
