With the 60HE+ v2, Wooting is launching a revised version of its popular analog gaming keyboard. The new generation of the compact 60 percent keyboard places particular emphasis on acoustic optimization, mechanical stability and high customizability – a response to the growing demands of gamers and technology enthusiasts who require professional-level precision and responsiveness.
- Optimized sound thanks to new damping materials and modifications
- Analog technology for precise inputs with adjustable trigger point
- Highest reaction speed thanks to “Rapid Trigger” and “Tachyon Mode”
- Improved feel thanks to more robust construction and new switch technology
Improvements under the hood and new sound characteristics
At first glance, the Wooting 60HE+ v2 hardly looks any different from its predecessor, but numerous improvements have been implemented on the inside to take the typing and gaming experience to a new level. A central element of the redesign is the significantly improved sound when typing.
A combination of sound-absorbing materials (sound mats under and above the circuit board) and a closed housing design is intended to create a muted, less metallic sound. The community of the modding scene, in which Wooting is already strongly anchored, should particularly appreciate these factory optimizations.
The housing has also been designed to be more robust in order to minimize unwanted resonances. The new design focuses on greater structural stability, which benefits tactile feedback and durability. An additional bearing for the printed circuit board (PCB) is intended to make the typing experience more consistent – even under high loads in e-sports use.
Focus on analog input and response speed
Like its predecessor, the 60HE+ v2 also relies on the company’s own Lekker technology, which processes each keystroke not only as a digital on/off command, but also as a stepless signal. This allows the trigger point to be individually adjusted – between 0.1 mm and 4.0 mm – which brings enormous advantages for precision movements or fast reaction play.
Another highlight is the Rapid Trigger function, which dynamically adjusts the trigger point – ideal for shooter and rhythm games where every millisecond counts. In the new “Tachyon Mode”, all performance resources are optimized for minimum latency. According to the manufacturer, the input latency is just one millisecond – a peak value that is particularly effective in competitive gaming scenarios.
Macros, key assignments and RGB lighting can also be extensively customized via the Wootility software. The 60U+ v2 also supports hot-swappable switches and comes with the new Gateron x Lekker magnetic switches, which were specially developed for analog inputs.
Conclusion
The Wooting 60HE+ v2 is more than just a small update – it is a consistent further development with a clear focus on sound, speed and precision. The combination of analogue input technology, comprehensive personalization and greatly improved acoustic characteristics makes it one of the most innovative gaming keyboards currently available in the 60 percent format. The keyboard will be available in the fourth quarter of 2025.
