A genuinely great hall effect 60%, but the premium pricing means you should want specifically what Wooting offers.
Price is a recurring sticking point — the aluminum case version especially
Consensus is that the 60HE v2 is the most refined keyboard Wooting has shipped — better moddability, solid build, and those Lekker hall effect switches are genuinely great for gaming. Most people love what it does, but nearly everyone brings up the 'Wooting tax': you're paying a premium over comparable hall effect options. Stock sound is described as creamy and decent, and the hot-swap support makes it easy to tinker.
Switches that suit this board's sound and build.
The 60HE v2 is the most refined board Wooting ships and owners commonly upgrade past the stock Lekker; the Magnetic Jade's tight housings and clean thocky tone are the consensus step up, and its light linear travel keeps the board fast for gaming.
For owners who want the 60HE v2 to sound richer, the Jade Pro's heavier spring and concentrated tone deepen the keystroke while the aluminum case keeps it from ringing.
The 60HE v2's stock switch — a smooth, creamy linear with a consistent force curve. The no-fuss baseline that matches the board's described creamy stock sound.
A medium-weight magnetic linear with tight housings — gives the 60HE v2 a more planted, deliberate feel for owners who find the light Lekker too floaty.
A budget hall-effect linear that softens the 60HE v2's well-known price premium when a buyer wants to re-switch the whole board cheaply.
