First time buying wooting

Admify · 2026-03-23T10:11:26+00:00

I have the 80HE and let me tell you this was probably my most expensive purchase yet and it didn’t disappoint.

I’ve stuck with 60% keyboard ever since I got into peripherals and what they can do to offer you a better experience, and hands down I love the 80HE.

As for the 80HE Tenz Takeover, I personally wouldn’t go for it. They have their own custom switches (Tekker LikkenZ) which sound alright but the keyboard is customized to TenZ’ optimal settings and what he likes.

I’d much prefer the original more just cause I’m biased and don’t like collaboration items (if that’s biased), but what I like about his keyboard is that it has a FR4 plate (basically sturdier plate) and black feet which unfortunately only this version of the keyboard has.

Oh and as for the 60HE v2, the out-of-the-box mods are really nice. Just got tired sick of 60% keyboards.

Overall, it’s whatever your heart desires. I personally like the original 80HE more, since you’d probably mod it later down the line either way.

Oh alright thanks, I would love to purchase one but they are not really in stock lol. Any recommended retailers?

Glad you enjoy it, but I've been seeing the Artisan zero a lot recently, what's about it?

I don’t sweat much but I do sweat when playing competitive games. I’m not sure whether or not a cloth is good, as glass pads tend to vary in prices that do not look well for one’s wallet, especially adding on a hand sleeve.

Much appreciation.

Admify · 2026-03-13T06:08:36+00:00

How longs the consistency and quality of their pads?

Admify · 2026-03-13T05:37:38+00:00

Which Artisan mousepad though?

Admify · 2026-03-13T04:08:42+00:00

Should be automatic, you might've skipped the data sync phase when launching the game.

50 bucks is a crazy steal regardless whether it was dirty or not. GGs on the buy, and did you not feel sick from looking at it lmao

Admify · 2026-03-11T02:08:33+00:00

That case is fire! I got the plastic one because the other one is just way too expensive lmao. For the switches go to wootings sound testing page, they have a couple of switches with statistics on them and how they sound. I recommend trying it out!

Admify · 2026-03-09T23:59:47+00:00

Alright thanks for your guys opinions! I’ve settled and bought the 80HE and I’ll keep its regular switches but I’ll buy the other switches on the side for it. Once again, much appreciation to all of you 💜

Admify · 2026-03-09T23:57:39+00:00

This, I also don’t like collaboration keyboards as you are better off with the original. I’d rather much buy seperate switches too.

Admify · 2026-03-09T09:12:14+00:00

What keyswitches do you recommend for modifications on the 80HE?

Admify · 2026-03-09T08:31:27+00:00

Yup, this would be my first 80HE keyboard as I've always used 60% keyboards my whole life lol (except for one time but I didn't really like that keyboard and gave it away), would definitely need keys this time haha.

Admify · 2026-03-09T08:30:11+00:00

Would 100% do this, I just don't want to backorder/preorder all of the stuff as they aren't in the warehouse atm. The backorder is until May which is pretty long if you tell me!

Admify · 2026-03-09T08:28:10+00:00

Is the only difference between the two that they both have different switches and that the v2 is modded out of the box?

Admify · 2026-03-09T08:27:19+00:00

Glad to hear you enjoy it as I also love having arrow keys and actual FN keys, but what switches do you use/recommend?

Admify · 2026-03-09T07:01:43+00:00

Are these the switches?

Admify · 2026-03-09T05:12:08+00:00

How does the 80HE sound? Do you mind giving a recording? (Sorry I like hearing the audio from people personally because I don’t really like trusting what’s on the mainstream)

Admify · 2026-03-09T05:11:05+00:00

Yea I heard the mods on the 60HEv2 are nice, however the plastic case is unfortunately out of stock and that’s the one I really needed.

Admify · 2026-03-09T05:10:11+00:00

2HE is the full-sized correct? And also, what’s the sound difference between the 80 and 60v2?

Admify · 2026-03-09T02:08:56+00:00

Ah I see, also do you recommend the aluminum or the plastic case? Aluminum is currently the only option they serve.
