Best Overall Keyboard? Modded Wooting 80HE

#keybored Best Overall Keyboard? Modded Wooting 80HE

The HE keyboard market is firing up even more with the introduction of the newest Wooting 80HE. With the bold claims that were made with the 80HE, can it finally be a be all, end all keyboard? Not just for gaming, but can it really do it all? I'm not quite sure about that... then why not just take it into your own hands?

I am actually 'out' currently into this hobby since I built my Monsgeek M1 back in 2023. But I always watched your videos because you create great sounding keyboards with a scientific twist. Sometimes you create not just a review but also an analysis on a keyboard. What a passionate man.

I managed to claw my way out of the rabbit hole, but love your videos.

"The inflection point of HE keyboards is here." I 100% agree with this take. This board makes me very excited to see future releases that iterate from here.

Loving the content and I hope you settle-in nicely to the new studio!

WOW! Best 80HE I've heard by far, sounds so clean with Geon Raws!

[hxpers]

if they kept to a standard TKL layout I would have 100% joined in on the early buy.

Love the camera angles. U always deliver such good quality videos

I think that while this board is a big step in the right direction for wooting and HE boards in general, things like the plastic case using plastic clips to hold the case together (plastic clips almost always will break and snap with enough wear), and the plate foam being a requirement and not a preference choice because it houses the gasket system still feels "anti-custom" compared to custom keyboards of today. But I have a lot of hope for future wooting boards because they are very receptive to feedback, and it is very awesome to see!

I'm addicted now. I took my 60 module out and got it a new case, switches and keycaps... I now just bought the 80 module

[NaoKeysVT]

Whoa, you got the keyboard sounding really good. It still has a bit of that sound that HE switches just... have, but its wayy better than most of what I've heard before.
Hoping Wooting updates their 60% cause tray mount feels pretty dated at this point.

[Daansji]

Great video! Just one question… does changing the switches make it less compatible for gaming? And did you lube the Geon Raw HE Switches beforehand?

[SORMX]

Went for the M1W HE and put good stabs with force break and got a really thocky sound hope to see in the future that all magnetic switches can be used in any HE board

The Geon Raws are so nice! I thought the Jades were a big improvement in my Tofu60 mounted 60HE, but these were on another level again. The keyboard is genuinely nice to type on now

[bchan]

always enjoy to see your videos, keep up the good work!

[riceshakes]

Geon raws sound great on an FR4 plate. Idk if kbdfans plans on stocking it, but the one they had for the 60he works really well

[helloyu]

Now I want a zinc or steel tofu 60 for my wooting 60 lol

[SqueakyTypes]

The 80HE looks promising as an all rounder. I'm currently testing the 60HE+ and I kinda still prefer it for gaming and its universal compatibility for the cases in the market. That being said, it's all preference at the end of the day. great video! ( * ^ *)b

[peanutbutterbean]

had my 80HE for about 3 weeks now and after being in the keyboard hobby for so long i genuinely just dont have any desire to get other keyboards, for literally everything out there its just a case of 'thats cool but i would rather use my wooting'. So i may get geon raws for it, but other than that i genuinely feel like the only other keyboard stuff i may buy is keycaps for when i really want to change the aesthetics of it, but seriously liking my black pcr case and keychron dolch pink cherry profile caps combo so even that might will only probably be later down the line.

[metalskinn]

Someday HE boards will look and sound like customs but at least for now Wooting is the closest!

[noon]

Great video! Would of been nice to hear the Jades tho.

[VieiraBBX]

The next step would be getting a better case for it. but with mods already installed, its way better
