      Glazing mainstream keebs is crazy for me. I ended up buying an iROK NA87 Pro because wooting is obviously is not an option and new Drunkdeer cost 140$ in my country. NA87 switches need to be replaced because of crazy wobble, but otherwise it is a really good budget he keeb (~$58) with web driver and not bad sound in stock. Also, Drunkdeer can only be modded with Drunkdeer parts because they made pcb mount non-standard which is a obvious con.
      ND63 Pro (also budget, even cheaper, solid performance, killer for it's price) and IYX mu68 pro (iyx = irok, aluminum case, more expensive) come with azure switches that don't need to be replaced. Better choice, but I needed TKL so I went with TKL and bought top switches to replace old ones.
      Everglide su68/su75 (I heard software is buggy) and Nuphy Air60 he (low profile, excellent software) are also solid choices, but too heavy for my pocket to handle and not that I need something endgame like that.
      All keebs that I mentioned, except Drunkdeer, perform near wooting 60he+ level judging by the delay measurement spreadsheet made by eyejoker (eyejokerdb) and RT + deadzone measurement spreadsheet made by 外设茶话会.

    I'll preface this by saying I own two 60HEs. The limiting factor on most of these boards is firmware/software, and that can be easily fixed; they PCBs are all nearly identical, as is anything using a Gateron KS-20 based switch. They don't have the same limitation as optical boards.
    Wooting has had a huge head start on developing the keyboard, but their manufacturing process still can't meet demand. The Chinese OEMs will get it down within a few revisions; we've already seen it in the custom keyboard space where they're pumping out sub-$100 boards that rival the sound and build quality of the $500 ones.

    Yeah, after doing research, and quickly going through a couple of keyboards that really weren't that good, I found the Wooting Two HE, and that's the only keyboard (along with Wooting in general) I consider worth a premium price. If you want cheap, get a keyboard that's upwards of $20, but if you want the best, it's only 10x more price, which is quite reasonable for this absurd market, for a keyboard that will last until keyboards as a technology are obsolete. It's the only keyboard I care about at all.

They feel like they actuate faster at below 1mm travel, but that might just be the lighter springs that make it feel that way.

    The Endgame, Polar, ATK and many others use the same OEM PCBA, firmware and software does differ though. The ATK68 has all Wooting’s features except for analog/gamepad remapping but I do not have a setup to test and compare its latency. You’re not the target consumer as you want the best of the best, not the best within a budget. What was quite shocking to me is that the build quality of the ATK68 (and from what I’ve seen the Endgame too) is much much better than the 60HE, a far better sound and switches as well. The switches are the KS-37B Dual Rail switches compared to the Lekkers’ Single Rail. They have tighter tolerances and because of their dual rails; less stem wobble. Yes, the 60HE is still better for €189,99 but for €80 cheaper the ATK68 is almost there. I hope to see a thorough latency test of the ATK soon, maybe RTings will. 🤷‍♂️

    • @itounobue1

      There's a vietnamese youtuber who tested the ATK68 against wooting 60HE and it came out as ~1.5ms slower on actuation and ~3ms slower on release which imo seems really solid for the price. If they update the firmware to allow for the smart speed x function which is supposed to be the equivalent of tachyon mode it might even match it but who knows.

Those dont work on boards with ks-37s as they dont have the additional middle stem that pops into the pcb.

      No need for that shit to work the ks37b switches are great, lube or do what you please, change the springs there’s no reason not to love them. It’s not like we need anything else when these are adjustable and can be modded to your desires it’s not like we’re working with clicky vs tactile. The shortcomings can be made up for with firmware. The typing experience out of the box is much much better and after catch up on firmware (hell even right now) they are solid 65% for those that prefer the layout. You aren’t telling me you can feel this latency in game you just aren’t and these things are still better than any normal switch could hope to be. At this point it’s about firmware updates, software or web based updates and implementation and usability.

    Wooting has the best implementation, but for some people, it is not only those few ms that matter.

    I got SS apex tkl 2023, wooting 60he, endgame kb65he, and vgn atk 75. Overall I prefer the atk75 over the wooting since the 60% layout is a bit of pain to use, and atk performance does get close. The problem with steelseries is their switches are very wobbly, I can’t use cherry profile keycaps without problems, gotta stick to oem profile caps which has fewer options. Endgame board imo is garbage, I’m still waiting for the boog 75 to arrive, which I heard share the same core with vgn atk series board (which is a good thing). There is also a board called melgeek cyber01 which may worth checking out as well

      To be honest, Polar65 (or other keyboards using same boards - Highgrounds, EGG KB65HE, ATK68 and I have a feeling that Lamzu's new keyboard might be the same) is not HE board that I'd recommend because of one thing - if you want to have a rapid trigger on a key with pretty low actuation point (for example 2mm), you are screwed because while you can set it to reset on 0.1mm lift off (or 0.2 depending on firmware), the next actuation is again 2mm, so you either have to have very short initial actuation or live with the fact that you can't really spam one key in same way as you can do on Wooting, Drunkdeer, Akko Mod007B HE or even Redragon M61 (I'd actually recommend Redragon over Polar65 for pure performance even though Polar65 feels much more robust), it kind of defeats half of the purpose of rapid trigger (we can argue that in most games immediate deactuation is more important than fast re-actuation of the same key but still, I don't understand why it is done that way). I'm still waiting for few other HE keyboards to test (I have preoredered Keychron Q1 HE and Meletrix Boog75) but so far Polar65 is the most underwhelming from the ones I've tested in terms of potential of HE switches vs what it actually delivers.

    I have been using the Polar 65 for about two weeks and it is a great out of the box option. Having an all aluminum case included as standard really goes a long way for the overall sound, feel, and look of the keyboard. The actuation point modification per switch is a bit tricky at first but once you get a grasp of the interface it's easy to adjust on the fly. I have been hitting superglides in Apex with about 80%-90% consistency after getting the settings dialed in. And hopefully Arbiter will be coming out with software soon for easier setup. I would highly consider looking into this board if you want a great Wooting alternative.

    If you have a Polar 65 theres a deadzone fix to get it as responsive as a wooting. I bought some Gateron Jade mini e switches because I wanted to upgrade the sound of the board but Immedietly after plugging in the switches I could notice that deadzone issue had gone away. Im not sure if this will fix the deadzone issues on any other keyboards like the Endgame KB65HE but its worth a try. When I first saw this vid I thought bro was just shilling wooting but there is acc a noticeable difference between a stock wooting and a stock polar 65. There might be other switches out there that also get rid of the deadzone but I havent tried any other switches so I cant say there are.

    according to a wooting employee these boards use an all in one hallsensor/led ic to cut cost and probably a cheaper mcu as well, combine that with basic generic firmware and you have the recipe for a whole lot of mid......im sure eventually China will refine the tech and firmware and it'll be more on par with wooting but for now they're just trying to capitalize on the HE goldrush

    Bought a Wooting and a Polar 65. Wooting still edges it in terms of performance, but my god the amount of money you have to throw at it to sound decent is just too much. It’s the only reason I still main the Polar65

    I hope Wooting will make a 75% formfactor so I have no excuses to not get a wooting

    honestly if you ain't a professional gamer you can just pick whatever feels/looks good or within your budget.
    stock wooting needs a lot of modding and sounds like a war crime, while other HE boards are cheaper and sound and look good out of the box.
