Wooting - 60HE v2

Wooting or Keychrons Hall effect keyboards are amazing, I thought it wouldn’t change that much but I really don’t like normal keyboards after it.

I would rather buy a Wooting board than a mass-produced gaming branded boards

Best "performance" wise? Wooting. Best HE custom yet still perform good? A Geon Frog/F1/F2 case with a Venom PCB, gateron jade/owlab/Geon HE switches, stabies/knight v4 stabilizers and GMK keycaps.

wooting is your board bro. my jitter peeks have been fire with HE

So the only advantage of this technology is the sound they make? Honestly I cannot care less about the sound of the key, I did not buy a Wooting for the sound it makes.

Sayo works but I had a bad experience with it (started double clicking in like 2 weeks) so I’d recommend a wooting uwu it’s like 40 bucks which is a bit more than the sayo, but in my experience wootings are built like tanks so it’ll probably last longer. (Keep in mind, sayos are literally made by one dude in china, wooting has a whole supply chain and guaranties certain quality)

Wooting HR boards for gaming, typing is completely subjective so you’d have to do your research for a good answer. I have a keychron but no pre-built one is going to have the azure dragon v3 switches I swapped into mine.

I recently upgraded my work and gaming keyboards to Wooting 80HE and 60HE. With the Lekker L60 v2 switches, they feel great to use and are relatively quiet which was important for both working at home/gaming and also using one in the office as it’s open plan… Figured I’d pay a lot with how much I use them and for longevity of the product… I also like that you can customise how sensitive the keys are with the actuation point. Believe this is a common thing with HE keyboards and honestly surprised how much I like it.

If you go with a Hall Effect board (and it’s a solid choice) just make sure to research what magnetic switches the board you are interested in uses. Keychron/Lemokey, HE boards for example, can only use a specific Gateron dual rail switch along with Glorious switches. For me personally, the stock Gateron dual rails are not very pleasing. A spring swap though brings them to life. I enjoy doing that work but you may not. Wooting and any board that uses the same polarity will have the most switch options available. This includes popular switches like Geon Raw and Gateron Jades. I have owned ad Keychron Q1 HE, Wooting 80, Wooting 60, Keychron K2 HE, Maggard 68 Pro and Nuphy 75 Air. The Wooting is the most premium option. As others have said, the software blows all others out of the water. I was really impressed with the Nuphy. It’s a low profile keyboard so different switches / keycaps than the others but it’s a fun board. The software on all the boards I’ve used lets you set actuation per key, rapid trigger, SOCD, dynamic keystroke and macros (plus more). The Wooting is the most intuitive and best for RGB if you care about that. I could not get dynamic keystroke working on the Nuphy but didn’t try after the first day as I replaced it with a macro for what I wanted. The Nuphy and Keychrons you are limited to 3 profiles. Maggard is 4 and the Wooting is unlimited, but only 4 active profiles (all your other profiles are archived within the online software). There’s a database of other Wooting profiles that you can easily copy/paste a code for yourself to utilize that users profile. Finally, I’m pretty sure Keychron boards have gamepad support and I know Wooting definitely does. This would allow you to set keys as controller functions for things like racing games / GTA driving / etc.

probably some wooting or geon venom+ws flux

wooting is the premier hall effect gaming keyboard brand with the best software and maturity, and the geon venom is a barebones self-assembly hall effect keyboard with similarly great performance but more customisability.
