Our Verdict

Wooting 80HE

Ducky One X

The Wooting 80HE and Ducky One X are gaming keyboards with adjustable analog switches. The Wooting is a wired-only model with a more premium-feeling build. It uses Hall effect switches and delivers better raw gaming performance, making it the stronger choice for highly competitive gamers. The Ducky, by contrast, is a wireless model that uses inductive switches. However, its software is much more limited, lacking common features such as custom profiles, per-key RGB customization, and granular rapid trigger settings.
