Wooting Brings its Latest 60HE v2 Keyboard to Computex

[btarunr]

Wooting, the Hall effect keyboard specialist, brought its latest generation of keyboards to Computex 2025. We begin our tour with the new Wooting 60HE v2, which as its name suggests, is the second generation of its 60% keyboard with Hall effect key switches. In charge of the job are the new Lekker Tikken medium key switches, with a friction-fit mounting style, sitting on the company's FR4 switch plate, and encased in an aluminium body. The keyboard comes in black, white, and bright silver colors, and its electronics support 8,000 Hz polling. The keyboard measures 305 mm x 115 mm x 28.08 mm, weighing 960 g. The Wooting 60HE v2 is expected to release in Q4 2025.

The company also showcased its selection of knobs. A knob in this context is a keycap replacement that holds the Hall effect key switch in a precise actuated position as it is turned up or down along threading. The Wooting Big Knob measures 4U in size (covers four key spaces), while the small one measures a single key space. Both are expected to release in Q1 2026. Lastly, Wooting also showcased their Wooting x Optimum keyset, and aluminium-magnesium alloy (AL5052) casing.

I have a Wooting 60HE and it’s just too good. Cool to see them continue to innovate

Shame they don't do a improved base for the HE Two default one is standard as it can get.

Thus I am faced with temptation.

The knob is nice but 8K polling rate is just a waste of CPU resources. 60HE already has sub 1 ms response time. Hopefully the switches are improved and the sound, because frankly a lot of other brands are crowding into the space with good products. The lack of wireless in particular is a negative, and their only saving grace is that regard is that competitors haven't quite cracked low latency and efficient wireless keyboards yet. There are some options that are getting close though.

I took Calder around in greater Taipei a few years ago, introducing him to some of my contacts and at least one of those companies, could've made a wireless solution for him.

60he/uWu/80he user here. I'm probably biased as ****, but I'm very interested in this new version. One of the reasons why they don't go wireless (yet), is the extra hassle with batteries, which means more weight, more risk, more shipping costs and ofcourse response time. But okay. I'm liking the knob solution they're gonna release, which means the current keyboards have a longer lifespan cause you don't need to buy a new kb just for the knob, cause it's optional for the current ones. It's just great. This company (yeah still biased I'm also from Holland), keeps on innovating.

I don't know. They love updating that 60HE unit so much I expect it'll get at least two more updates before they remember that full sized keyboards exist.

Keyboards with numpads are for old people. You want numpad you buy an external one.

I don't agree on the age thing but. Yeah, I don't have any keyboard here with a numpad. I'm using wooting 60&80he, Corsair k83 and Microsoft surface keyboard cover. I do have a seperate wired numpad but almost never use it..
