Our Verdict

Wooting two HE

Ducky One 3

The Ducky One 3 and the Wooting two HE are two wired-only, full-size keyboards with some key differences. The Wooting uses specialized switches allowing you to adjust the pre-travel distance and use the keyboard in Analog Mode, where it emulates joystick controls. On the other hand, the Ducky has a hot-swappable PCB, meaning you can change out the stock switches for ones of your preference without having to solder.
