I know nobody asked for this video, but like, I needed an excuse to make a video about keyboards lol

[@Hemkesa]

this was great for me :3 i love keyboards but i get rly intimidated by the building aspect and have no idea where to start, so the wooting has been in my radar as a prebuilt keyboard even tho its expensive!

[@DB-vl9ob]

What do you mean, thats exactly the video i was searching for. Really wanted to know if its that insane.

[@YoooWTFwasThat]

Make sure rapid trigger is on .1-.3mm actuation point, and try raas strafing with the keyboard. THEN You'll feel the difference, for general gameplay in a game like apex its... w/e. Advanced movement however is where this thing shines. You can also play with the activation point to help with your super glides; iirc the crouch input comes 1 frame after the jump, i dont remember what treeree said this translates to mm, but he has a video on it which I recommend checking out.

[@LunarBlues02]

[@djsusan00]

I like keeb videos. Thank you for influencing me to build my own when I bought my new pc. My favorite keeb ever.

[@theunkownmr.562]

I think your review is one of the more based evaluations. The video was great, and that included the humor.

[@RandyRhoadsFL]

Great review dawg

[@BaconActual]

Not video related per say but as a new streamer your streamerbot videos have been a god send!! Just stopping by to say thanks! Subbed and love the vids.

[@StrayGodHarvey]

The wide shot when you said lube was completely unnecessary, but also completely necessary

[@NiceGuyYoutube]

Wooting actually just released the standalone module so you can add your own switches, case etc to build your own.

[@albanzon]

Great review! I just want to mention that the game i noticed trigger the most were in Valorant and CS2, i have way less movement error since my firing reaction time coincides more with my keypress release. Otherwise for overwatch and COD, not much of a difference

[@nuttylmao]

I will admit that tactical shooters are where the Wooting shines. I just don't play any haha. I love the tech and hope it comes to more keyboards, but I do feel that mouse/monitor/headphone selection are all more important for most use cases.

[@David_idn]

Thank you do much for making this video Im going to make one🎉

[@kynooi]

there is now also a woothing 60HE module which is just the board and no case etc, so you can be a little bit more finiancially smart

[@pazOIDA]

very fair, love that!

[@ninjacalpone751]

how can we build the keyboard that you compared too in this video, can you link all the parts youve used? or make a video. thanks.

[@xanhxanh5097]

I hope you will review their new upcomming 80HE with a gasket mount. + deteachable daughterboard.

[@NextWarning]

When I fell into the Wooting hole, I was sold. However, listening to you kind of grounded me. This felt like an excuse for me to purchase a new keyboard when in reality, I should be focusing on other aspects such as getting gud.

[@finger00]

Got an Arbiter Studio Polar 65, comes pre lubed in an aluminum case, pretty damn nice for a prebuilt hall effect gaming keyboard.

[@nuttylmao]

Awesome, never heard of it but it's so cool that this tech is becoming more affordable. The tech is awesome, but the acoustics are subpar so I can't wait for more advancements so we can truly get the best of both worlds.

[@CptWhit3y]

solid review..

[@motherpigeon1582]

And this is what I call honest review ;D

[@__vha]

I just got my Wooting around the same time this video was released. I've put about 15 or so hours into it on CS2. Like yourself I don't consider myself a god level gamer, I am SMFC/Faceit Level 6/10,000 CSR. So quite literally just an above average CS player. What I immediately notice is compared to my standard mechanical keyboards my inputs are noticeably more precise. I'm sure Osu players and Apex or Overwatch players notice the benefits more but I find that my counter strafe timings are so much tighter than they were on a standard board. Now I've been counter strafing in CS for over a decade on standard mechanical keyboards, I was the same skill level before and after my purchase, but gameplay just feels a lot tighter on the Wooting and I think for that reason alone it's worth it. Is it going to replace any of the high end custom keyboards I own? No, especially considering that no matter what I seem to do to it I can't get it to sound "good".I fully intend to keep it on my desk whenever I am playing any kind of FPS game but by no means is it becoming my day to day board for work and general usage.

[@maxthememer1780]

What I noticed right away using the keyboard in csgo is it's not so much noticeable like you don't think OMG this keyboard is so much faster, you just don't think about the keyboard, what ever you want to do the keyboard does, you don't have to hover around the Actuation Point like you do with other keyboards

[@nuttylmao]

I think you're right. Counter strafing is probably the situation where rapid trigger is most noticeable. I just don't happen to play a lot of strategic shooters where counter strafing is ultra important. And I'm not great with advanced Apex movement to take advantage of rapid trigger either. I do believe in the tech behind this keyboard, but I stand by what I said. I would upgrade my mouse/monitor before buying a rapid trigger keyboard, and I will take key feel/acoustics over rapid trigger. My hope is one day we will truly get BOTH rapid trigger + the great key feel of a true custom board but in one package. I just don't think we're there yet. Monsgeek's HE offering looks very promising though. It's cheaper, has a better layout and is fully aluminum out of the box.

[@cringekid69]

Im on same boat, currently using razer hunstman te (1MM actuation switches) I really want try RT tech but at the same time I feel it will be a waste because I dont main cs anymore also cs2 doesnt give me too much motivation to grind. All that said after watching other reviewers beside this one everyone makes it beeing like a legal cheat tech or something. I think its the same as Dyac with zowie monitores that on paper its like the best thing ever but in real use its not that game change. Another thing that keeps me preventing buying it, its not having a tkl with ISO keyboard with good implementation of RT like the wooting the most close I know is the A75.

[@Top_Cheeze]

@@nuttylmao This is the biggest game changer since 120Hz monitors replaced 60Hz IMO Ofc, just like back then some can't tell the difference and that is fine, but I can and I am very excited about this literal game changer =)

[@peanutbutterbean1738]

4:24 love the jschlatt clip, i feel the exact same about these weird words, i also feel like its created this weird obsession with like the deepest sounding boards possible

[@Kiobao]

Love the video and effort put into it as well as talking about some things. I have been interested in this board but the sound has been sort of off-putting to me to just buy it. I would have either swapped to the aluminum cases they have now or the tofu redux and that is about it. Maybe burger mount. I'm personally one of those kinds of guys that likes a SUPER quiet board. So much so that I have tried out the Deathstalker v2 pro and fell in love with it when I was at the store but it was $220 and wanted to look at other options since I had heard making my own custom board was cheaper, only to have gone down this rabbit hole that lead me here for rapid trigger..

[@nuttylmao]

I'd take a look at HE offering from Monsgeek. $160 for a fully assembled, aluminum, rapid trigger keyboard with a better 75% form factor. Don't get me wrong, the Wooting is pretty awesome but you kind of have to hold it to a ridiculous standard because of how much it costs to buy the keyboard + alumum case + keycaps + lube.

[@Kiobao]

@@nuttylmao yeah, I don't mind spending the money for a good board since I rarely replace boards as long as it's great. The wootings just throws me off since I'd have to semi rebuild with getting the plate that's better for aluminum cases, the alumaze aluminum case itself and swapping to l45s rather than just picking how I want my board built. Plus I do prefer 75% with it being more quiet and HE. So I'll look into the board you suggested, thanks! Was also looking at the drunkdeer boards too.

[@Paulite_]

Hey, what are the keycaps at 1:35 looks sick!

[@El_Schaendus]

As a someone that needs a 75 layout for the arrow keys I can recommend the DrunkDeer A75. It has the same functions like rapid trigger (if not more with down-and upstroke sensitivity) and gets constant updates for a much lower price. The customizability lacks a bit and it has a plastic case but ind ecember they're gonna offer a full aluminium casing for anyone who wants to mod it :D Great choice for lower price and same performance!

[@Lowel1]

I appreciate this! So do you recommend waiting for the december release?

[@El_Schaendus]

@@Lowel1 Great timing cuz the alu casing is actually out since yesterday! Sadly, you can only order the keybaord and the casing separately and for me the shipping is 40$ while the case is 50$ but still the performance of the drunkdeer seems to be evolving even further and better than the wooting with all the extra settings and stuff like turbo mode for even lower latency. Even as a keyboard enthusiast, this one for gaming is the best pick of them all with my sweet arrow keys xD

[@Lowel1]

@@El_Schaendus Nice! I'll look into that.

[@xWaxxy]

You can easily make buttons be the arrow keys, without rebinding. Multitap makes it so that you simply dont need arrows

[@El_Schaendus]

@@xWaxxy That is indeed true but if that would be the solution, the 75%/TKL layout wouldn't be so popular. It's simply a more comfortable layout that also enhances workflow in multiple ways without sacrificing so much more space. Drunkdeeer is getting more and more goated btw. with driver updates that make the performance of this board even surpass the wooting and Alu Case with customizability and modding options.

[@ZylkaLeftridge]

As someone with the Wooting 60HE you are 100% correct. Its a nice keyboard. The rapid trigger is super cool and the team at Wooting are amazing! For me the software in the Wooting also sold me as I use it on mutli computers via a KVM and being able to access it via a webpage and save it to the keyboard is a huge plus! IF you want an out of the box sick keyboard the 60HE is up there and I cant recommend it enough. If you want a custom THOCKY keyboard, go custom as the 60HE wont live up to what can be done. But let be honest, if your looking at $200-$300 keyboards you most likely have some disposable income and in the long run you'll just end up with multi custom keyboards anyways :P

[@__vha]

Not including switches and keycaps I think I paid about $300 for my Ai03 Vega which is by far one of the best boards I've ever built. All of my boards which total $300 with switches and caps beat out the Wooting in sound and typing feel by a long shot BUT I will continue to use my Wooting to game on since while the benefit is small, it is noticeable.

[@Top_Cheeze]

From a pure performance perspective the technology in the wooting stand on its own Like comparing DVD to blu-ray, one is just clearly and objectively a superior technology and while true some can't tell the difference, that is 100% a limitation of the individual and not the technology edit: I realize this space is probably more about modding than performance, I only care about performance and there is zero chance I end up with any custom keyboard beyond some lubed switches and other performance enhancing basic service and maintenance routines. The fact is that this technology enables things the old just can't and it baffles me how some don't notice.

[@Epicsperience]

Hey @nuttylmao , thank you for all your YT vids. have you done a video about stream servers? (Always on, irl, etc)

@@IDontKnow-zr2jo polycarbonate plate

[@RobiLemos10]

As an entusiastic keyboard moder user I can easily say: The problem with Wooting its default iron steel plate. They release PC plate and soon a Module (PCB with screw in stabs) This should be enought to make a decent custom K with best software and Gaming adventages. Any reason to dont make tape mod ?? I do in all mines xD Nice video,sub !

[@Megaman.ExE7]

[@TRIPPA99]

Hey Nutty! Sorry for the off-topic question.. I started using SAMMI after watching some of your videos and made some pretty cool channel point rewards and I would like to know if I can disable a specific CP on a specific Scene in OBS? I have a few rewards that zoom in for example and then switch over to my main monitor but I would like them to only be usable AFTER I'm out of my starting screen. Cheers! P.s I know you like streamerbot.. is SAMMI up to par or?

[@middle_pickup]

A thought and a question. The wooting is an advantage in esports specifically-not other games. If you're playing Coutner-Strike, or Valorant then you'll have an advantage. If you're playing Apex, or Halo...not really. That said, do you have any tips on how to mod the wooting for less key wobble? I'm loving my stock 60he, but the key wobble is kind of annoying now that I've noticed it. I know almost nothing about modding keyboards, and appreciate the help.

[@Alby911]

The stem wobble can be lessened with switch films but Wooting don't recommend it, but it can be done if you get the right switch films. Otherwise just wait till the next gen of Lekker, or third party switches which should improve housing stability. Meanwhile there's a lot of mods you can do to improve sound and feel.

[@rFiyaa]

apex deff has an advantage when ur using it for movement but other then that nah

[@6laka.]

I'm the person with the $40 membrane keyboard and have had equally cheaper mechanical keyboards in the past. But wow this looks really pretty. I love looking at keyboards and wishing I had that kind of money. As for improving my gaming, you don't really need the best keyboard for the games I use keyboard for, and everything else I got a very nice xbox controller for. Still... one can dream.

Why does the sound matter? Do both keyboards feel the same? Do you not like the switches because they feel worse? Spending over $100 on a keyboard is a tough sell any day, but I'm looking at this keyboard and agree with your value sentiment. The issue with me is that I only have experience with my super old keyboard and dont have the luxury of trying multiple switch types and customization to even know that this 60HE keyboard is bad. I hope I'm making the right choice :0

[@nuttylmao]

Honestly, it's all just a preference thing. I'm probably just being a snobby keyboard person, most people probably don't care as much as I do. If you bought one and you like it, enjoy it! I am just part of the pretentious community that likes building nicer sounding keyboards. It's not a hobby for everybody.

[@thebadness6217]

i suspect this keyboard would be great for games like league of legends. I know for a fact that i often find myself spamming a key on the keyboard but not pressing th ekey down enough for the keystroke to register. I'm definitely getting one of these eventually. But i think i will skip the whole modding thing. Too lazy fo dat shit.

Can’t really take this review on since ur basing it off one game. Gonna stick with thinking it’s a great keyboard and buy it. I don’t play apex or osu fps only and that’s where everyone has said it’s got the most impact.

[@krazypeople4]

The wooting does seem like a great keyboard but at the almost $200 price point it's competing with custom keyboards. Unless they could lower the price of their pcb to under $60 I don't think i'll ever consider it as an option.

[@TheMurtnaT]

First off, you tested a non tactical FPS game with the wooting. You not gonna see much of a difference.

Mice is difficult to recommend and reviews can only do so much. It comes down to trial and error, but you can at least narrow down the process by identifying your grip style, and mice size preference.

rapid trigger is so overhyped and overrated, the ability to change the actuation point is the only good thing and that was copied from steelseries apex pro, dont fall for all the wooting hype and just get a second hand apex pro for 1/3rd the price, you'll even be able to purcahse a new mouse

[@nuttylmao]

I wouldn't go that far. Rapid Trigger is legitimately useful, but it's just more subtle than most would have you believe. You sacrifice a lot in acoustics/key feel which you *will* notice in every day use. I'd upgrade my mouse/headphones/monitor before getting a RT keyboard. At least until acoustics/key feel for HE switches improve.

[@kickedfromcampaign]

Lol you have it the other way around. Steelseries took from wooting. Even put in an update later on to allow rapid trigger to each key. Wooting did it first
