Wooting previously revealed a bunch of details about the upcoming 60HE v2 Hall effect gaming keyboard and announced the November 6 pre-order date for the updated 60HE v2, but pricing and exact shipping dates have remained a mystery until now. In a new blog post, Wooting has revealed that the orders for the aluminium Wooting 60HE v2 will start shipping as early as December 2025, while the ABS plastic case will only start shipping in April 2026. The Wooting 60HE V2 will be available as both a pre-built keyboard, with either the plastic case or an aluminium case, and as a standalone PCB module, which is compatible with the original 60HE case—for those who want to supply their own switches, keycaps, and case. It might also be reassuring to keyboard enthusiasts to know that there appears to be no price difference between the split space and traditional space bar versions of the 60HE v2. New details about the plastic case were also revealed, including the addition of an aluminium reinforcement plate in the bottom of the case, which should help structural rigidity and help dampen the keyboard's sound somewhat.

Wooting also revealed a new add-on for the plastic case to replace the somewhat divisive strap. Owners of the plastic 60HE v2 case will also get a swappable translucent silicone wing to replace the strap mount, for a bit of visual flair. Both versions of the 60HE v2 will be available in black, with an additional "Shiny Silver" colorway in the case of the aluminium case, and both come with OEM profile shine-through PBT keycaps and the new Wooting Lekker Tikken switches by default. Aside from the aluminium case and the new switches, the 60HE v2 steps up the 60HE's design by swapping out the plate for a white FR4 plate, which should improve the sound characteristics over the original steel plate. The 60HE v2 also separates the PCB and plate assembly from the case with a friction fit gasket mount, removing any direct contact between the plate and case to reduce reverberation.

Since the launch of the Wooting 80HE, the keyboard brand has seemingly had nothing but trouble with its coatings on the zinc alloy cases for that keyboard, with users reporting chipping and peeling of the coating, sometimes after relatively short periods of use. As part of the development of the Wooting 60HE V2, Wooting has been investigating these coating issues in an attempt to avoid the same situation for the new compact keyboard. In a recent video published on YouTube, Wooting founder, Calder Limmen, revealed that the brand's testing has narrowed the cause of the coating degradation down to a reaction with sweat. Wooting says that the number of these cases is "almost negligible" compared to the overall sales figures of the 80HE.

In an attempt to address the issue for the upcoming 60HE V2, the company has been conducting tests on the new aluminium case slated to launch with the 60HE V2, using artificial sweat and controlled environments. The test revealed that certain chemicals and oils in sweat are reacting to the coating specifically, and not the alloy itself, although the company declined to mention which chemicals were specifically causing the issues. The good news for prospective buyers of the 60HE V2 is that Wooting says it is closing in on a coating process that will mitigate the peeling issues. Limmen also mentions that the coating issue is one of the reasons the price for the 60HE V2 has not been announced yet.
