Wooting 60HE+

The 60HE+ is the screw-in-stabilizer update to Wooting's original 60HE, and Wooting still sells it alongside the newer 60HE v2. Per Wooting's page it uses Lekker L60s Hall-effect switches and a steel switch plate, and TechGearLab confirms the switches and keycaps are hot-swappable. It also has plate-mount stabilizers (screw-in supported), a 2 m USB-C to USB-A nylon cable, and PBT, ABS or dye-sub keycap options. It weighs 605 g, measures 30.2 x 11.6 x 3.8 cm and sits at a fixed 6 degrees. Up to four profiles are saved on the board, and Wooting gives a four-year warranty excluding the LEDs.

Tom's Guide called it one of the most responsive and customizable boards available, noting an ABS case that still looks and feels premium, bright per-key RGB saved to 8 MB of memory, and PBT keycaps that suited typing as well as gaming. It wanted wireless and an adjustable height. TechGearLab measured about 2 ms single-key latency, found no chord splitting, and named it a top pick among 60% gaming keyboards; its marks against it were the 1000 Hz polling and scan rate, a tall standard profile that wants a palm rest, a fixed 6 degree angle and a high price.

The comparison that matters inside Wooting's range is the 60HE v2, which per Wooting's page adds true 8 kHz polling, an FR4 plate, Lekker Tikken switches and an optional aluminum case. Pick the 60HE+ for a proven 60% with a steel plate and the screw-in stabilizers, or the v2 for 8 kHz.
