| 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) | Lekker Tikken Medium switches with a closed bottom and full 4 mm travel (Wooting) FR4 plate and extra dampening (foam, PET film, tape mod) aimed at a softer, deeper sound (Wooting) True 8 kHz polling, Rapid Trigger and 0.1 mm actuation steps in Wootility (Wooting) Large programmable knob included on zinc prebuilts; split spacebar available on the module (Wooting) Dedicated arrows and an F-row in an 80% layout (Wooting) Four-year warranty, two years for 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 | No independent review of the 80HE+ was found yet; performance and sound claims come from Wooting Wired only Split spacebar is not available on the prebuilt, only on the module (Wooting) JIS layout dropped; ANSI and ISO only (Wooting) Reviews of the original 80HE noted a non-standard layout and PCB that limit modding (Tom's Guide) |
| 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. | An incremental update to a well-reviewed board, with Wooting's own sources the main evidence so far. Pick it over the 80HE for Tikken switches, the FR4 plate and the knob or split spacebar; wait for independent reviews if sound and feel decide the purchase. |
