Wooting 80HE Gaming Keyboard Review and Features

The Wooting 80HE is an 80 percent keyboard that makes the best gaming keyboard even better. It adds dedicated arrow keys, an F-row, and a delete key, making it more comfortable for regular typing.

Key Features

The 80HE uses Hall effect switches with a Rapid Trigger system that speeds up key activation.

The keyboard features a gasket mount that reduces noise and a silicone gasket mount that holds together the board and the switch plate.

The case angle can be adjusted to 2.8 degrees, 7.5 degrees, or 10 degrees thanks to a variety of silicone feet included in the box.

The sound on the 80HE is improved over the 60HE thanks to updated Hall effect switches. Wooting’s Lekker V2 switches now wobble less and sound better than the original V1 switches.

Improved Wootility Software

The improved Wootility software allows you to enable adjustable actuation points, Rapid Trigger, and more advanced key functionality. Rapid Trigger changes the actuation and reset point of keys on the fly, making it ideal for PC gaming.

LED Bar and Customization

The 80HE features a new LED bar that sits above the arrow keys. The LED bar can indicate the profile you’re using, when keys are pressed, or to let you know when the CAPS lock key is enabled. You can configure the LED bar in Wooting’s updated Wootility software.

Verdict

The Wooting 80HE is a great option for those who want a gaming keyboard with Hall effect switches and a Rapid Trigger system. While it may not have wireless connectivity, the 80HE delivers a great typing experience and fast polling rate. If you’ve always been tempted by the 60HE but wanted more keys, the 80HE delivers that and much more.
