Our Verdict

Wooting 60HE

NuPhy Air60 HE

Both the Wooting 60HE and the NuPhy Air60 HE are compact analog gaming keyboards. The biggest difference is that the NuPhy has a low-profile design and slightly better raw performance with a higher polling rate of 8000Hz. The Wooting, on the other hand, has a taller standard profile. Both keyboards have robust web-based software with extensive analog customization, but the Wooting supports more features, including analog joystick control and an offline client.
