  • Finally taking a look at the new Wooting 80HE. This finally gives us a form factor closer to what people have been asking for along with some other improvements that result in less customization than we've see on the 60HE. But do you NEED to mod this board? And is it still best-in-class now that so many other hall effect boards are out there?

    To clarify one point regarding sound and feel: I have a VERY high bar when it comes to this bc of my background in customs, but on the gaming keyboard side - if you compare the stock sound and feel of the 80HE to the Razer Huntsman v3 Pro or the Steelseries Apex Pro, the 80HE absolutely walks on them.
    Seeing a lot of comments too that the firmware on the op's boards is not always consistent in game so I'm going to be running a Boog75 as my main board for the next two weeks to weigh the experience and I'll get back with another video on that.

    Wooting really killed it for me with customer support!
    I bought a Used Wooting 60HE and it had a loose contact at the USB-C connector wich sometimes mid round just disconnected. So I wrote them and without asking for a bill they sent me a whole new Keyboard and said after i received the new one I can send the old broken one back so they can repair it. I didnt have to pay for anything and i had 0 seconds without a keyboard in this whole process. Thats how customer support should always be!

      Hi .........,
      Thanks for reaching out, and apologies for the time it's taken to get back to you.
      It's unfortunate to hear you're experiencing issues with your keyboard.
      According to the sticker on the PCB it seems to not be much older than when you purchased it.
      We're not yes keeping track on serial number basis yet, but so far there are indeed no 60HE's out of warranty.
      If you're inspecting the soldering around the USB-C connector, are there any cracks in the soldering visible? Cause sometimes its easy to reheat a cracked soldering point to repair the connection, and can be the fastest and easiest way to get you going again.
      Otherwise, please send your full name, address and phone number so we can send you a replacement PCB to swap out, as we don't have you information in our system yet without an account.
      Depending on your location I'll send the return instructions for the defect PCB and when you update us with the activated tracking for the return, I'll send out a PCB to you ASAP.
      Let me know if you've got any questions or need any additional support.
      Thanks,
      - Nicky

    One issue with the chinese wooting clones is their software is often a bit inconsistent in game. It'll work 9/10 times but every so often you get a random press or release that doesn't work. They also tend to be scuffed with updating new features (for example many chinese clones now have socd/snaptap - but their socd still has a lot of quirks and bugs to date).

      @Abadeez Месяц назад +1

      I hope you're alone because brand loyalty on any level is dumb. I'm saying that as part of the founder's campaign for the 80HE. I think the Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 might be a better option. I don't have the gen3 obviously as it just came out but it probably sounds very similar except it has more features and more software tools that are useful like auto-swapping profiles. Granted you do need to use the standalone app for that and it has been bloated over the years with the addition of Sonar and Moments which is so dumb but it does offer more features on the keyboard itself with an included magnetic wrist rest, media controls, the screen and metal faceplate as well as more software features now for $20 more.
      I will dump any brand any time if there's a better option whether that's the best option outright or best for the money. It could have the dumbest name to ever exist for a company but if it's the best product I will use it. All consumers should do the same, brand loyalty only helps the company not the consumer and we've had plenty examples of that in recent times.

If anything am waiting for more switches to release for HE as well as aftermarket plates and cases, but for the PCB itself, to me it's 100% endgame for keyboards.

    Do NOT under any circumstances get the Steel Series Apex Pro. I had two in as many weeks and had nothing but trouble with them. The software constantly crashing while making adjustments (as in after every adjustment), led's getting stuck on a static colour on certain keys and worst of all the keyboard will just randomly start spamming phantom inputs and the only way to make it stop is a full firmware rollback and update (so it's not the actual hardware). According to the countless threads on reddit those are all issues that have existed for well over a year with no fix. I sent them back, got a Wooting, opened the software to adjust it once on the day I got it and have never had to touch the software again. It works flawlessly. Only adjustment I made was keeping the Steelseries Prism caps and putting them on the Wooting as I found some of the keys sounded a little metallic (mostly the spacebar) but it still sounded great out the box.

    i have to say that while i appreciate their efforts to try to get the build quality, sound, and feel to the same level that their software is at, things like including plastic clips for the construction and having the mounting points be a part of the plate foam is really disappointing because it feels very anti-modding. those clips just simply WILL break over time if you tinker enough, and being restricted to plate foam because of the mounting points being a part of it just makes me disappointed. but with all that being said, it’s obviously undeniable that wooting is still miles ahead of the competition in terms of software. and it also is very clear they’ve been listening to customer feedback, so i have hope future releases from them will only get better!

    I feel like compared to all the new alternatives, Wooting really is behind on the price. You can now get HE keyboards for under $100 fully built with basically the same latency. The difference though is that Wooting really does pay attention to detail and has more competent software designers.
    Keep in mind I haven't bought the 80. I am thinking of buying the module when the 3rd party cases come out though
