Our Verdict

Wooting one

Wooting two HE

The Wooting two HE is the upgraded version of the Wooting one, and features some marked differences. The Wooting two HE uses Gateron Lekker Linear60 switches, which use Hall Effect sensors instead of the optical sensors found in the switches on the Wooting one. By using these switches, you have a wider range to customize your pre-travel distance. The Wooting two HE also features a better build quality with PBT keycaps instead of ABS.
