Our absolute favourite gaming keyboard, the Wooting 80HE, is getting a BIG KNOB, improved switches, and more
This could become the new best gaming keyboard.
The Wooting 80HE, already regarded as one of the finest gaming keyboards, is set to receive an upgrade with the release of the Wooting 80HE+. Pre-orders for the enhanced version begin on September 17th. This new model boasts numerous improvements, notably the inclusion of a BIG KNOB. However, it also features a switch upgrade, specifically the Lekker Tikken switches found in the Wooting 60HE V2, which Jacob Ridley has found to be more stable and enjoyable than those in the original 80HE.
Additionally, the 80HE+ now incorporates an FR4 plate, contributing to an even more superior typing experience. The keyboard's software remains highly customizable, adding to its appeal. Another noteworthy addition is a split spacebar module, providing extra keys by dividing the spacebar into three segments. At roughly $200, the 80HE+ is priced similarly to its predecessor, with pre-assembled versions expected to maintain this cost.
While it is an investment, the Wooting 80HE+ offers Hall effect switches, a feature not commonly found in more affordable alternatives. For those seeking the competitive edge of Hall effect technology, the 80HE+ is currently the best option available.
