According to WIRED, the Wooting 60HE v2 takes the first-gen model and fixes what actually matters: tactile feel, software, and durability. The review praises smoother switches, 8,000 Hz polling, refined firmware, tool-free repairs, and acoustic tuning. The trade-off: still wired only.
Gaming keyboards have long forced a choice: esports-grade speed or hardware that doesn't feel cheap. Wooting is collapsing that trade-off. Every other gaming brand still shipping flimsy cases, rattling stabilizers, and 2014-era software just got undercut on value.
Wooting treated gamers like adults: people who care about acoustics, repairability, standard parts, and whether a keyboard survives past the first month. The polling number matters less than the fact that someone finally shipped it. If WIRED's verdict holds, Wooting just made the overpriced gaming keyboard look obsolete.
