Our Verdict

Wooting 60HE

Wooting 80HE

The Wooting 60HE and Wooting 80HE are analog gaming keyboards featuring Hall effect switches that allow for customization of the actuation and reset points on individual keys. Both deliver outstanding performance, but the 80HE offers lower latency and supports a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. It also has a slightly larger form factor, including arrow keys, navigation keys, and a customizable LED light bar not available on the 60HE. Additionally, the 80HE features a gasket mount design, providing a softer, more cushioned typing experience. It's available with either a zinc alloy or plastic case, while the Wooting 60HE is only offered with a plastic case.
