Wooting 80HE review

The 80HE is the keyboard for players who care about every millisecond. Wooting builds it around analog Hall effect switches that track the whole key movement, true 8 kHz polling that it says delivers 0.125 ms input speed, and Rapid Trigger, which resets a key as soon as it starts to rise. Each key's actuation point can be set from 0.1 to 4.0 mm in 0.1 mm steps, and Wootility adds SOCD handling, Dynamic Keystroke, Mod Tap and analog controller input. Four profiles live on the keyboard, so settings follow you without software. The 80% layout keeps the arrow and navigation keys, and the board uses a silicone gasket mount, PC plate and screw-in stabilizers. Wooting gives a 4-year warranty, with 2 years on LEDs. The catches: it is wired only, the deep settings take time to learn for a first keyboard, and Wooting now also sells an updated 80HE+.
