Are Wooting really worth ?

[Revyn_89]

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.

.. inductive (electromagnetic) switch technology with key characteristics that include 0 dead zone continuous touch, anti-interference functionality, and self-calibration. With an impressive 0.013mm real-time accuracy and an "end-to-end" average delay of 0.75 milliseconds, the A83 and A67 keyboards are positioned to deliver high performance.

They also offer 255 levels of precision.

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.

I backed the Wooting Two Lekker edition, it's basically a pimped Wooting Two HE. I don't use it much because I prefer tactile switches. But I have been typing on it once a week at work. For me it is not worth the $200 it costs. The build quality is ok, but I think a Keychron Q Max in the same price range is better value. Wooting have their own software for programming the keyboard, focused on Windows users. Linux and Unix is just an afterthought for them.

Ok, I see that the Hall effect and rapid trigger and all that jazz is interesting for gamers. My review (in the post above) was purely from the perspective of somebody who just wants a nice keyboard for typing.
