Title: Are Wooting really worth ?
Post by: Revyn_89 on Sun, 17 November 2024, 10:35:55


Hi guy!
Fist of all, sorry i am not sure if this forum is right place to ask those questions.



Current searching a Hall Keyboard .

The most recommended i see is the 80HE



But i have some questions.

- What make Wooting superior to the other brands ?

For the shame price of the 80He plastic i can get a aluminum from others brands


-Some guy say ""Software. Which is THE only thing that matters in an HE keyboard."

Why is that ? And what makes software so important in HE keyboards ?


- Are the default stabs good enough or worth change to something like DUROCK ?


You could answer these questions, I would really appreciate it.

Nice keyboard.

I dont want to sound rude, but what make the Aesco a83 more advanced that the Wooting 80HE ? I didn't find much information about this Aesco a83.

Bit late;

I’ve owned custom mechanical keyboards with all kinds of switches, even frankenswitches. The last one I used was the Xikii Crazyboard86, since a lot of top OSU players had it before Wooting came out.

When the Wooting 80HE was announced, I pre-ordered right away, and it’s been completely worth it. The responsiveness, sound, feel, features, and software make a huge difference for gaming. Rapid Trigger feels incredible, and the warranty gives peace of mind if anything ever goes wrong. What more could you ask for?

I don’t see myself going back to custom builds anymore. I’ll just swap keycaps. Wooting really is on another level.
