| Pros , different | True 8 kHz polling in Tachyon mode, with Rapid Trigger and 0.1 mm actuation steps (Wooting, WIRED) Wootility runs in the browser or as an app and was praised by both Tom's Guide and WIRED Gasket mount with a polycarbonate plate and screw-in stabilizers; Tom's Guide called the typing feel beautiful Three interchangeable feet (2.8, 6 and 10 degrees), unusual for a metal-cased board (WIRED) ABS (790 g) or zinc (2,160 g) cases, hot-swappable PCB (PCWorld) Four onboard profiles and a four-year warranty excluding the LEDs (Wooting) | True 8 kHz polling and scanning with about 0.125 ms input speed in Tachyon mode (Wooting) Rapid Trigger and per-key actuation from 0.1 mm, with four onboard profiles saved in the keyboard (Wooting) PC Gamer found the typing feel excellent, with less switch wobble than the 60HE's L60 switches ABS (606 g) or aluminium (945 g) case, with silicone, EPDM or no bottom dampening on the aluminium version (Wooting, WIRED) Optional split spacebar adds an extra programmable key for the left thumb (PC Gamer, WIRED) Four-year warranty, excluding the LEDs (Wooting) |
| Cons , different | Wired only (Tom's Guide) Non-standard 80% layout and PCB limit aftermarket parts (Tom's Guide, WIRED) PC Gamer found some chassis flex on the plastic case; PCWorld noted a rattling spacebar and uneven finish Tom's Guide and PC Gamer both noted rivals that cost less Lekker switches only, with limited switch choice (Tom's Guide) Wooting now sells an updated 80HE+ with Tikken switches and an FR4 plate | Wired only A 60% layout with no function row or dedicated arrows; arrows via Mod Tap add slight latency (WIRED) PC Gamer noticed a slight ping on some larger keys, mostly the right-side spacebar half The Verge found the Tikken switch's longer spring a little heavier than the Geon Raw switches it normally uses Uses Wooting's own Lekker Hall effect switches rather than standard MX switches |
| Research take , different | A well-reviewed competitive 80% that Tom's Guide and WIRED rate highly for software and build. Choose it for 8 kHz and Wootility; consider the 80HE+ if you want Wooting's newer switches and plate, or another brand if you need wireless. | A refined competitive 60% that The Verge, PC Gamer and WIRED all describe as a clear step up from the first 60HE. Choose it for 8 kHz polling and the improved sound; pick a larger or wireless board if you need dedicated arrows or no cable. |
