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.
