This is THE BEST Gaming Keyboard - Wooting 60HE

this is the wooting 60he it retails for 174.99 and this is the best gaming keyboard on the market full stop youtubers say wild stuff to get your attention at the start of a video but as of today that's exactly what this is you may think you know all there is to know about analog gaming keyboards because you've seen reviews of wooding's previous ports you may think that all gaming keyboards are largely trash because they generally lack the build quality and the flexibility of a custom mechanical keyboard you may not even consider a 60 layout because you need dedicated arrows or a function throughout this video today i'm going to show you things that challenge all of that and i'm going to show you the first peripheral i've seen in a really long time that truly offers an advantage in game that you can actually feel this video is not sponsored by wooting there's no partnership here there's no affiliate deal i just want to clarify that because this is an overwhelmingly positive look here today so keyboard switches mechanicals and even opticals have one way to transmit data they're either on or off you push the switch down on the way it hits the actuation point and it sends the on data you release the switch it travels back up and it changes the state to off fast gaming switches or fast gaming keyboards are generally marketed to gamers in one of two ways the first is that they hit the actuation point faster and return faster by physically limiting the travel the best example of this is the cherry mx speed silver versus the cherry mx red the red travels four millimeters top to bottom it actuates it two millimeters they're halfway down the mx speed travels 3.4 millimeters total 0.6 millimeters shorter and it actuates much earlier at 1.2 millimeters so you're sending that on data faster and the switch is returning faster the other way fast switches are normally marketed to gamers is by being optical a beam of light is interrupted instead of a physical mechanical leaf making contact this is faster because of something called debounce a delay programmed into boards to prevent traditional mechanical switches from double sending the information optical switches don't need a debounce delay because there's no mechanical leaf actually making contact in there this would be like switches you've seen from razer or the corsair opex they have actuation and travel points similar to a cherry mx speed but with the benefit of not having any d-bounce delay so opticals in effect should be the fastest switch until you get to switches and boards using the hall effect hall effect switches use magnets to transmit data at any point in the travel the first big example of this that really made waves was the steel series apex pro with their omnipoint switch this allowed users to set their own actuation point anywhere from 0.4 to 3.6 millimeters they recently released their own 60 board and with it the omnipoint 2.0 which now allows for adjustments anywhere from 0.2 to 3.8 millimeters wooting uses a switch called lekker it's made by gadaron this allows for actuation at 0.1 millimeter all the way to 4 millimeter and like the steel series you can do this on a per key basis so based on all that there's every reason to think that a board that uses analog is just going to be inherently faster than a board that uses traditional mechanical or even optical switches but that in itself is not new or groundbreaking wooding steel series and razer all have analog boards in market right now even though razer uses analog optical which measures light instead of using magnets but this next part is new you big brains out there probably already put together that the lekker switch bottoms out 0.2 millimeters further than the omnipoint 2.0 now based on the info i've presented so far even though it activates 0.1 millimeters faster it should technically be slower than omnipoint because it travels further still with me so wuding now has a feature called rapid trigger this is the first mind blower this sends the on data at the actuation point you set but it sends off data wherever you release and resets the actuation point to right there you don't have to bottom out and you don't have to wait for the switch to pass the actuation point you press down it hits the actuation point it sends the on data the micro second you release and that switch begins to travel up it's off press down again it's on again valorem players you know the top accuracy is achieved when you're not in motion rapid trigger allows you to start and stop instantly move stop full accuracy move stop full accuracy it is crazy fast and it's available on a per key basis it's no longer a setting that affects the entire board though it can if you want this is a real deal game changer for any game that requires really subtle micro movements especially valor feel free to correct me in the comments but i don't think any competing analog board has this feature right now keep in mind too if you absolutely hate the idea of having a 60 on your desk even though it offers you a lot more mouse space and gaming all of the software-based features i'm talking about today are available on all of booting's boards including their full size 2he which is in stock and shipping right now the main reasons people avoid 60 boards is because they either need that dedicated f row up top or they need dedicated arrows i can't help you with the f row but the arrows here are handled amazingly thanks to a feature that again i don't think i've seen in any other analog board they don't just focus on the speed of the switch either they have fully custom firmware and a mode called tachyon that disables rgb and prioritizes inputs it lowers the latency of the board itself to under one millisecond me being just a human i can't test latency claims like that at least not yet i might have something on the way that's going to allow me to test stuff like that objectively moving forward stay tuned for that wooden boards feature analog gamepad emulation like an xbox controller which allows you to get gradual movement on a key press the same way you get gradual movement on the analog stick of a controller this can be really great for driving games or any title where you're on foot sometimes and driving or piloting a vehicle other times but there are still some issues with this which is why it's largely dismissed as a gimmick and why you haven't really heard me talk about it a lot on the channel the first issue is that the actual usefulness of this gamepad feature is highly game specific some games like call of duty for example are not coded to allow you to use keyboard mouse and gamepad at the same time so you pick gamepad input and then your mouse doesn't function two sometimes it requires you to have multiple profiles set up for the same game one for on foot one for driving that you have to select depending on what you're doing in that moment in that game they make this as easy as they can the board stores four profiles on board one basic digital profile for everyday use that still allows you to change the actuation and use rapid trigger and three analog profiles for gaming that allow you to access analog movement and some advanced controls like those arrows i mentioned a minute ago you can always hot swap between profiles or right back to the digital profile regardless of which one you're in the third negative is the games that do allow you to use keyboard mouse and gamepad input at the same time often have a difficult time trying to decide which input prompts to show you on screen like in far cry 6 if i touch the keyboard it's going to give me xbox prompts when i touch my mouse it's back to keyboard inputs it's not really a big deal if you already know that game very well but it can be really confusing and annoying if you're trying to learn a new game some games like fortnite have a way to lock which one they're going to display for you incidentally this is also a really strong board for fortnite players because it allows analog angles and double movement but the biggest issue for me is that most of us simply aren't trained to interact with our keyboards this way if you've been gaming for any length of time on multiple devices you probably have a really strong sense of how to move an analog joystick with your thumb it's probably second nature but most of us use a keyboard simply by pressing the switch until it stops and then releasing it honestly how many of you out there could reliably duplicate pressing a key switch to a certain point and no further how many of you could do that in the heat of competition and probably take some practice right that's where woody's mod tap feature comes in any switch can be assigned to do one thing when you tap it and another when you hold it for a second so you tap to crouch or hold to go prone tap for a non-lethal grenade or hold to throw a frag it's the same key to function so you're moving your fingers off wised less this is the same feature that allows us to take this little section and turn it into tap arrows like you may have seen on and pro boards before you don't have to worry about holding a function key down you just tap it for an arrow or hold it for the function that's shown on the key this is kind of the same idea that we see in the new steel series board but that requires you to press with a certain pressure for one action in a harder press for another the idea of simplifying that to just tapping is much easier to duplicate in-game there's another feature in here called toggle key that allows you to toggle the on off state of a key with the tab so say a game only lets you crouch while holding the key down there's no option to change it to toggle crotch with this you could just tap and it would hold that crouch state until you tap again and it would release i should definitely mention too that you don't actually have to install the utility software on your computer you can use any chrome based browser and make adjustments there and it saves to the memory on the board while we're talking about it you can design infinite profiles in the software you can browse the community for gaming profiles other users have already tweaked and you can have up to two additional layers for custom rebinds if you are the kind of crazy keyboard guide that can reliably detect where you are in that key press they have a feature called dks or dynamic keystroke this is similar to steelseries implementation but it allows you to trigger two key presses on your way down at your actuation point and 3.6 millimeters and then two more going back up there's so much going on with this board that i had to do this video different than i normally would it's wild that we've got this far only talking about features we haven't even talked about the physical design aspects of the board yet so let's listen to it first and then i'm going to show you some really crazy stuff so you heard a little example of how these switches can sound when they're lubed the housings are straight mx clone variety so all the same openers and techniques can be used to lube them and it does make a difference to both the sound and feel the stabilizers are another really high point here for a pre-built board these are plate mount they fit very snug in the plate which is good to see in mine we're like obscenely lubed these two are standard stuff so you can lube these with a syringe if you need to or simply remove them and work on them because all the switches are removable with any standard switch bullet so this board is hot swap but only for this liquor switch you can't put any other switches in this keyboard and you can't use these switches in any other keyboard you do have shine through on the keycaps really strong nice rgb leds the pcb is water resistant the keycaps on the ansi version are pbt pretty smooth and all the legends look really nice and crisp the case is abs plastic it has this off-white inspired nylon carry handle you have a couple layers of sound dampening inside here as well it is also a standard tray mount config which is wild this means that this entire keyboard module can be removed from the case with just a few screws then you can put this module in any custom aluminum 60 tray mount case that uses universal mounts so a tofu 60 or even something a little more exotic like this salvation 60 from wilba and salva because 60 is the standard layout you can switch up the keycaps to most sets out there with no issue at all enthusiasts out there know that gmk keycaps may have interference on north facing switches where they don't bottom out all the way correctly so they don't sound quite right that is the case here too but because these switches don't use mechanical contact pins you can pull these out rotate them 180 degrees to be south facing they still work perfect because the magnet is centered and now you can use any gmk set you want this is huge because you can finally have one board that's a custom mechanical keyboard but also has industry-leading gaming tech under the hood so you can mod this board like crazy change the sound dampening in the main case lube the switches tune the stabilizers change the stabilizers switch the keycaps even switch the case i've never seen that in a gaming board about the only thing they don't want you to mess with is the plate it's steel and it's important that this board not have a lot of flex because the hall effect lives and dies by having a consistent distance between the switches and the pcb keep in mind too that wooting as a company has a singular mission and that is to build these keyboards no mice no headsets no chewing gum all their innovation refinement and community feedback which they really listen to gets funneled back into improving these keyboards it is arguably the fastest on the market even without all the analog controller bells and whistles it has the most advanced firmware feature set that doesn't require any software to live on your system they cut corners nowhere on the components and they standardize the assembly so you can completely mod it out to full custom keyboard levels without sacrificing any gaming performance this is a lot of information today so it's important to clarify that the adjustable actuation point the rapid trigger and the tachyon mode those are compatible with every game out there the analog modes are more effective in some games than others but you'll find little ways to achieve things specific to you and your main game it's like a sandbox of high-end tools inside your keyboard now for the stuff i don't like nothing this is the incredibly rare case where i have nothing to critique for its intended market unless you just absolutely have to have wireless this is a perfect product in seven years of reviewing i don't think i've ever said that once

Wow it looks so nice, if badseed is showing it in vids it must be soon right? no copium

[u/Yung_newb]

kinda looks like the g703 and outset had a baby

[u/Interest-Necessary]

G703 superlight because Logitech cant do it

[u/JVIoneyman]

Looking like a nice shape tbh. Hope it’s around 60g

[u/ImDiamondsoShutUP]

The shape looks quite unique from this angle

Can't wait to try it out. Hopefully it can rival the EC2 shape. We definitely need more new original ergo wireless shapes and less clones.
