Wooting 60HE v2

Wooting's page presents the 60HE v2 as a reinvention of its original 60% Hall effect board. It has a more powerful chip with true 8 kHz polling (switched on through Tachyon mode in Wootility), Lekker Tikken Medium switches with full 4 mm travel and a closed bottom, an FR4 switch plate, a Poron foam sandwich and a friction-fit pad that holds the PCB without screws. The case is ABS (606 g) or aluminium (945 g), 305 x 115 mm with a 28.6 mm front height including an OEM keycap. A split-spacebar layout is optional, the stabilizers are screw-in, the cable is 2 m USB-C, and the warranty is four years excluding the LEDs.

The Verge called it a solid upgrade to the original 60HE and looked at the aluminium case. It said the stem wobble of the original switches is greatly improved, but that the Tikken's longer spring makes it feel a little heavier than the Geon Raw switches the reviewer had been using, and that it moved back to those for sound and feel. PC Gamer called it Wooting's best gaming keyboard to date and an excellent experience for gaming or typing: it liked the weighty yet responsive keypress and found less wobble than the 60HE's Lekker L60 switches. Its one complaint was a slight ping on some larger keys, mostly the right half of the split spacebar. WIRED said the v2 takes the already excellent first version and improves the typing experience with better materials and a new mounting method. It noted that putting arrow keys on Mod Tap suits it but only supports quick taps and adds slight latency, and it did not test the plastic version.

The layout is a 60% without a function row or dedicated arrow keys, and the board is wired only.
