Wooting 60HE V2


They Did it Again But …
Did they go far enough?
When the competition thought it was catching up, Wooting announced a new 60 HE V2. While I like the changes they made to this keyboard, I would still like to see a stepped CapsLock key, split left and right shift keys, split backspace, and if they are going to have a split spacebar option as pictured, I prefer having the longer segment on the right side of the middle bar, not on the left as pictured.
They are also introducing the Lekker Tikken switch with a closed bottom. Aside from its improved sound profile, I have noted that others offer vent holes on the bottom to help manage the switch's temperature and improve accuracy.;
The following changes are detailed on Wooting’s 60HE V2 web page and mentioned in Wooting’s video:
Aluminum Case with robust protective coating
Quick disassembly (Friction Fit)
True 8K Polling (
Screw-in Stabilizers (Pre-Lubed)
Bottom Case Dampening Options:
Silicon Dampener
Foam Dampener
No Dampener
Switch Plate is FR4
Sandwich Dampening
Silicon and Poron Pad
PET Sheet for PCB
Lekker Tikken Switches (Closed Bottom - For a Marbly sound)
Closed Bottom (Marbly Sound)
4mm Travel
Multiple Strap Options:
Single Side Strap
Dual Side Strap
Strapless
Tape Mod
I own every variant Wooting offers and will likely buy this one too. Everything is subject to change, and only time will tell. It is slated for release in Q4.
