It's Not Just for Gamers: Wooting 60HE+ Review for Peak Office Productivity

[@JSyntax]

Regarding the mod tap conflict with the spacebar, Wooting has informed me that they will be improving that specific use case!

[@akhdanfadh]

Any update on this one?

[@RealMe-ju9hh]

what a quality video, just watched it again and got some great takeaways for my productivity needs!

[@JSyntax]

Theank ou

[@pokmonfan1236]

Wow im so glad you made this. It gave me the courage to try the wooting 60he even if its a 60% keyboard.

[@JSyntax]

I was in the same boat as u

[@deefactual]

Thank you so much for this video, I edit a lot and play games too (CS2 being one of them) this has got me set up in a way I could not figure out before, absolute game changer. You're underrated mate, cheers to you!

[@JiluMiah-ek2rd]

21:07 Fantastic demonstration👏👏👏 No one else seems to want to demonstrate those secondary functions or demonstrate how it’s not working out for them.

[@JSyntax]

Thankyou

[@ChuckyStanleyMusic]

Great review! I’ve been looking for a productivity review, most people only cover gaming. Thanks so much I’m in college for software development and this is exactly what I needed.

[@JSyntax]

Thank you, that's exactly what I was going for

[@diomed96]

I was sure I was going to hate the %60 form factor until I finally got to try it and feel it in my own hands. Now I own the 60HE+ and it's nice to have for gaming, but it surprisingly feels more productive for work as I get used to the function layers. Mod tap and Toggle are pretty awesome features, but your key mappings are very well thought out so I'm going to try switching to those. I didn't expect the software to be this powerful, you can program basically anything.

[@tiZyJoshi]

great video, thank you! i really like the way you setup the caps lock key, i used to "just" use it as a way to call fn, but using it as esc with a short press is actually perfect. also the dual binding of your number keys are something i wanna try. and the way you setup your rgb is awesome, i need to check that out. some additions: - try the gateron jade/wuque studio dash (they are the same afaik) switches, i feel like they improve the whole setup a lot! also, its worth checking out the wooting (alumaze) or tofu (redux) metal cases for the 60he imho. - im not a hardcore vim user, but Id like to be and thats why I try and get some inspiration from the vim key layout (eg hjkl instead of ijkl) and i kinda like it.. its not for everyone but its a neat way to train yourself to use the basic vim layout (and having esc on capslock is a great addition to this!) - also, i use arch btw (nah, i dont, i use windows, but i felt a bit dirty writing this comment :) )

[@JSyntax]

Thank you for your kind comments and those are some great tips I will definitely try and try them out

[@cr34t_]

To be fair to Styko (the CS pro), he was playing for a team who are sponsored by steelseries, so he probably hasn't spent a lot of time with the wooting since it's a direct competitor to the apex pro.

[@JSyntax]

True!

[@hgt-27]

Finally a video that show off this keyboard to the fullest, the fact you even talk about the arrow keys and show how to restore them is something i appreciate a lot I've had my eyes on this keyboard since a while but with this video it is clear that it's a multitask keyboard compared to the apex pro wich is bloated like crazy and complicated to use (and the kb isn't even modable) The wooting is a clear choice for me who plays a lot but do desktop stuff Thank you for this great video!

[@JSyntax]

That's exactly the sentiment I wanted to give in this video is that the 60% layout can be very intimidating for people who are unaware of programming capabilities

[@Matthew-gg2hc]

I was concerned at first with the lack of keys on this 60% board but after looking at the amazing software that Wooting has and seeing how much customizability/remapping it offers, I no longer have these concerns. Thank you for this in-depth review.

[@JSyntax]

Thanks! I really like their easy to use software!

[@Tesseus]

Thanks, getting this soon and that arrow key guide and other tips will be super useful for me!

[@StewartGordon]

Liked. You deserve a commission from Wooting. I was on the fence until i saw this video. I also program and this will help me setup my new Wooting a lot more quickly!

[@JSyntax]

You'll love it but my link is not an affiliate so I receive zero commissions 😢

[@kevomeister]

I'm also looking for keyboard for both programming and Counter Strike. Which would you recommend, the Wooting 60HE or the UHK 60?

[@JSyntax]

It depends if you really need a split keyboard for ergonomic reasons so

[@jedunboxing4127]

Split keyboard for programming but for CS ,wooting 😂

[@CR0WYT]

A fun fact is that Wooting's first keyboard was a TKL layout called the Wooting One, but they discontinued it for some reason. You can still find them on the used market, but they don't have all the features the new Wooting models have. I recently caved in and bought the 60HE and will probably just buy a Stream Deck for the extra shortcuts, but I would've thrown my money in so much earlier if they kept making and updating the TKL model.

[@Icancontrolit]

wooting is making a tkl keyboard rn it's called the 80he and they are taking pre orders already. they also do a lot of production updates on their KZbin.

[@theshadypersonify]

just graduated with a degreee in electrical engineering, Wish I had this keyboard for programming 4 years ago, GODBLESS YOU SIR

[@Ice_2192]

You actually went through all the features and demonstrated them. Most people who review this only do the sound test and just breeze through the app. I’m one of the founders who pre ordered the 80he and gonna use the extra keycaps on a custom 60he. Since then I’ve been watching countless videos of what people think about the 60 and you are the only one who took the time and went through the app features.

[@planet_b1ue]

Your genius with this. I don't even have a 60% and I switched my caps lock bind to the modifier key and then added a whole bunch of macros. Great video! For me, I didn't like the idea of holding down or tapping a button to change it's function, so I didn't use that. But, I did change my right shift to backspace, changed my caplocks-backspace to be delete, and changed my capslock-` to be esc. Other than that I followed your recommendations!

[@typingcat]

Let me get this straight, all the key customisations you mentioned, can't I do it with a regular keyboard that supports QMK/ZMK, etc? Do I need a Hall effect keyboard for that? I don't play games.

[@JSyntax]

Yes!

[@kotic33]

excellent review, also which mouse is that?

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

I have been an adamant full size keyboard user all my life, so gonna be interesting when i get my 60he if i can rewire my brain to use all these shortcuts

[@JSyntax]

You will get used to it

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

@@JSyntax thank you! Yes it has.gone okay so far, the shortcuts are easy enough, though getting my hands in the right spots are harder and I frequently miss, though it's gotten better already, so I just need to get used to it, don't help my caps don't have letters on em 🤣 but I'll get through I have almost gotten up to same type speed as I used to, if I have my hands in the right spot to begin with 😅

[@Jensen761]

I just won one. Really excited by the software. Id prefer 65 but having the ability to press or hold a key is actually amazing. Cant wait for it to arrive.

[@eyang7]

My reason was your reason not to get the 60he, and so I waited and it came true! The 80he! Can't wait to get it in late August to early September 😊. Gonna make it my end-game keyboard 😊😊😊😊

[@simonpena474]

Can you compare it to the Boog75? I believe you will find a better built keyboard there.

[@darazb]

Great review !

[@JiluMiah-ek2rd]

Woah, this guy is a programmer! And he’s saying 60% is more than enough!!

[@Helv3tii]

In defence of Styko, I don’t think he’s dismissing the possibilities of rebinding ~ or using modifiers. Just saying that it’s not familiar to him or anyone else playing the game professionally every day which i can understand. Great video and review, this sold me to order one!

[@JSyntax]

Fair enough!

[@Aerobrake]

Got one for my cousin's birthday!

[@JSyntax]

Nice

[@rohitgarla9129]

Amazing video. I just wish wooting also enables to share profiles.

[@Crusher91]

Very nice and detailed video, it would be really nice if you could upload your profiles, seem very well put togheter.

[@ZellieOwO]

could you provide your import codes for your wootility?

[@michaberlak1952]

could you please send me your settings of wooting?

[@LaymanGamin]

I didn’t get that switch puller? And I have 60he+

[@elmiyk]

Same

[@TerminalHeatSink]

Same... We got scammed

[@RealMe-ju9hh]

what if u want to write a sentence in all caps, for example a string value in programming? would you hold down shift the whole time?

[@JSyntax]

Yes unfortunately this doesn't have that type of Advance configuration like caps word which is something typically with qmk or zmk that requires C programming

[@wilmerosaroso927]

i got mine more than a year, best keyboard ever

[@I3asyl]

Could you link the codes for your profiles so we can try em

[@JSyntax]

Sorry! No, but it's super easy to customize yourself!

[@q468agent]

33:40 sound test begins

[@wilmerosaroso927]

share your gaming profile

[@woswasdenni1914]

no arrow keys, no home/end/del button, no page up down, no Fkeys not productivity. yea you can reassign stuff and all of that but thats an obstacle and will diminish all tiny advantages for productivy that technology has

[@coin777]

No its not

[@imanabdelbagi]

Can you buy me a KZbin I mean buy me a keyboard ⌨️⌨️ please

[@winter3g]

get a job.

[@RagerDurden]

Why?

[@ThomazMartinez]

blownaway such a stupid overused word that means jack shit

[@user-j9ki7r]

the video is well made but the keyboard shounds really cheap and bad.. no idea what u like in that

[@JSyntax]

It's the complete opposite of cheap IMHO
