Wooting 80HE Review: Pinnacle of Hall Effect Keyboards

Wuting was one The first analog keyboard brands to enter the mainstream. When is the Wuting One T KL Launched, it was a big thing-Optical switch technology was still new to most people, and the idea of ​​a keyboard with hyper-fast, compatible key activity was both novel and revolutionary at that time.

Later, when it was debuted Excellent Hall Effect Switch In Wooting Two -It was one of the first companies of the user Technology Wuting HE in 2021 for gaming

Now, the Hall Effect Keyboards are a Dime one dozenThe It was kicked out of a weapon race, and fell behind the wuting 605. However, with the new wuting 80H, the company has returned to its first keyboard’s Tenkilles (TKL) layout and created a keyboard that is not just competitive, but impressive. One of the mistakes I usually do not see is that the effect on the effect keyboard has every feature I want 80 it is, reliable and easy to repair.

There are two versions of 80H, one with plastic case and the other with zinc alloy. The plastic version arrives in retail and opaque black or transparent gray for $ 200. Zinc Aloe Model costs $ 290 and includes a carrying case. It comes in black or white. You can also get keyboards on ANSI, ISO and Jice Layouts. I tested the black zinc allo case with a standard ANSI layout.

I reviewed almost every hall for effect keyboard, the software has been a blow spot. They are buggy, awkward, badly designed, filled with ads or simply simple involuntary. Even the best software I have tested from the keykrin has little problem with connection and setting functions.

This is where Wooting stands. The in-house app, WoutilityGreat It is a common, light weight utility that provides broad compatibility and customization. It is both available as browser and downloadable executable, which means you can access it anywhere And Use it offline. More than that, every part of its design makes sense: the app is organized, easy to use, intuitive and explains each setting. Also, during my full time using the browser version, I never ran into connection problems – I recognized the keyboard at the moment of hitting “Enter” for the URL. This is not the case with most browser keyboard utilities, which don’t always want to connect.

Even niche features like the gamepad emulation have worked innocently. I have replicated analog inputs of an Xbox controller’s stick and triggers, and without any hesitation or confusion, adjusts the Flys’ settings, and still maintained keyboard inputs for Undapped keys. Even I left a half-shaped coil time Gathering After some practice (and a few crashes).
