**IMPORTANT UPDATE** - Thanks to @Delbs1 I decided to try some snap in stabs in the new module and here's the results. I also included a KS-20 sound test for the couple of you that asked. ru-vid.comVEZ7O3GX_j8?feature=share
You just saved me so much time and money with this video. I have had my wooting 60He for about a year and have been wanting to so something new with it and didnt know where to start with all their new products. Thank you so much.
As someone who has a 60% case sitting in my keyboard drawer, and all sorts of keycaps to choose from, really loving the module launch. Gives me a chance to use pieces I already have to test out the 60HE.
Wooting really is at the top of the game, that Alumaze case looks amazing! Great breakdown B. You literally hit ever nail on the head when it came to configurations. 💪🏽🔥
Such a clean and well made review.. your channel is easily becoming one of my favorite you always discuss my fav products and you do it so well by explaining and telling us your experience.
I've been reccomending this channel for over a year now and man I don't regret it a bit. You don't miss. Spectacular quality and coverage of products man, love the channel, keep doing what you do!
Man......This video is S tier. You literally showed it all. You made the go to video for the wooting HE hands down! I have been waiting for someone to make this video. I been rocking my wooting HE for a little over a year now. I bought the redux case when you first did a review on. I wanted to know if changing the plate would make a difference. This keyboard is pretty hard to THOCC out lol. I really love it though.
@badseedtech I may not have heard or whatever but did you say the release date of the module know anything about it, relative ideas or not allowed to say if you do know just out of curiosity as Christmas is a good excuse if it is right before lol. 😂
I literally am about to buy a new itx gaming system and wad going wooting and finalmouse ultralight x so seeing this is great but like others when is it available?
@sggee they are already available, pretty sure only thing not available at the time of making the video is the bare bones kit. The redux 2.0 can be bought a dropbox and everything else from wooting website.
Great video mate. I recently made a custom wooting for a mate and found an FR4 plate + used some super deadening foam which they use in automotive use. The experience is bloody awesome and sounds fabulous!
Man, every video you raise the level. All those configs in one video? Who else does that? And the presentation of the clips with the config listed on the left with the changes highlighted? Gold.
Thank you so much for the video. Was really looking foward to the sound of this case and everything, but after hearing it, my modded tofu 60 will be my forever build. Car sound dampener, foam, and a couple other small things. But my tofu60 makes it sound absolutely amazing and I've never wanted another keyboard after using this one. Much love!
Super looking forward to the module. Already got a perfect 60% build so I would love to be able to swap out the board and switches for a far better gaming experience!
glad that u mention that the switch "chirping" is more prominent in these sound tests as my 60he doesnt chirp as aggressively as i find all these sound tests do. i actually kind of like the chirping sound as it sounds like magnets clacking sort of. which is exactly what it is. it seems that pretty much every video on this kb that talks about the sound, no one is able to identify the fact that that sound is the magnets. mines pretty much stock except that i hand lubed the switches and lubed the stabs. its definitely a fair bit deeper than any of the sound tests in the video.
Damn that Wooting aluminum case with that O-ring mount sounds SPECTACULAR. Thanks for the comprehensive build comparisons as always! (As someone who recently got in shape, that shit takes a lot of mental discipline, good work dude on both content and health front!)
I watched this video like 5 because so much good information. Thank you for all the effort and work you put into this video. It was extremely helpful for someone like me. First time with a custom keyboard.
Love your videos and your honesty when it comes to your personal life. And the effort you put into your videos and breakdowns is top tier. Please keep it up! The Tofu60 Redux is pretty nuts for 60 bucks, miles ahead of the old school tray mount cases. Even the new Tofu 2.0s are crazy. Have you had a chance to check out the Gateron magnetic switches for the Wooting?
Wooting is a smaller company and there are some drawbacks such as wait times for their products, but the way they support them and the quality of their products makes them my favorite company. That and the fact that they pretty much were the first people to include such awesome features like rapid trigger in a keyboard.
I'm running the original 60HE with alu plate and L60 switches on the Tofu60 Redux case burger mounted. I was thinking about replacing the plate for a PC one and maybe try the L45s. You just saved me some money.
BadSeed, currently looking for a new keyboard, should I just get the Wooting 60 HE now and mod it or wait for the new module, also If its better to get the Wooting now what are the best mods for it?
Question. If I switch the switches to any switches I want, would it mess up the 0.1 press time and make it slower? I was thinking of getting the 60he but switching the switches to bobagum switches. And I’m worried that it will mess up the 0.1mm press time on the keys.
@badseedtech any suggestions of how to get the PCB out of a tofu redux with the o ring? Mine is pretty tight in there and can’t seem a way to get it out 🙃
These kind of mods are great to see - I really wish they would release a version of the 60HE that had a daughterboard, so it could be installed in keyboards like the Bakeneko, though. That would really make this the perfect hall effect PCB.
Hey man! Great video! I was thinking of buying the Wooting 60HE but not sure if I should just buy the stock one or the 60HE+ Module and get a custom case... I like the idea of customizing my keyboard. This is my first entry into the enthusiast keyboard world... Just a bit overwhelmed on what case, switches, keys to get... Any suggestions on a good starting point on what I should get for the 60HE?
Lots of hall effect keyboards on the horizon, the q1 he, akko mod he and then you got stuff already out like the arbitor studio polar65, i hope you get time to check those out because as good as the wooting is people are still looking for that next best alternative
Kind of late but thanks so much for another great modding video for the wooting. I’d never modded a keyboard before but after I got the Wooting and I saw Optimum Techs video then your video, I changed the case and did the burger mount and felt like it elevated the keyboard so much. Bought a 60he+ and last night assembled it and bag lubed the springs and L45 switches (I know you said the factory lube is good but I just wanted to try it) and I love how it looks and sounds now. One question, I can’t see in the description anything about which switch foam you used, any ideas? I had a google but can’t find the info either.
Just got a nice deal on a Wooting 60 he and redux case with the brass weight locally yesterday. Wish i woulda waited until today to buy parts for it since i just bought some GMK blue samurais off drop and the FR4 plate from KBDfans solo. still from what you've shown i think ill end up enjoying the sound regardless. thanks for the great video!
New follower here. Just want to say I loved the review and your thoroughness. I also dig your B roll and visual design. just learned about this wooting keyboard today and you have definitely swayed my decision here lol. Also that personal build is COOKING! Digging the custom key cap. GG on the video and no I'm down the rabbit whole watching your videos lol
12:45 this is probably what I'll be getting (might skip the brass weight) but with stock caps as they seem to sound the best tbh (9:30), a question though, what is the switch foam? did you ever mention it in the video? in your other video ( /watch?v=igy_n3f7VeI at 4:18 ) you mention that you can't film the switches? where do I get the ones you have in the video, or can i just get any brand (for the lekker 45)?
You could always try a Tape Mod. 1 or 2 Layers of Tape on the back of the PCB. Stick with Painters Tape, that gets off easy later on and doesnt leave any residues (unlike Electrician Tape or other).
Any chance you can toss in Gateron Mag switches and give it a go? I feel that all your configs sound very similar and doesn't get rid of the sound we all hate. Gets a lil better, but its still there. So that could mean that the switch is actually the acoustic problem. That's an amazing amount of effort on this video though. Thanks.
Anyone know if you can find that replacement gummy O-ring in EU ? I have a ISO 60 HE in a Tofu redux case with one layer of the stock foam, i want to upgrade it with Gummy O-ring and gateron KS-20T (Jade Mag) and i will be almost done (waiting to find a white coiled cable like the wooting one and the release of ISO plate + Silicone Dampener and case dampener).
Maybe I missed it if you answered this, but would you recommend upgrading to the new module from the old one? I bought a 60he about 4-5 months ago and will be swapping to alumaze, l45, and pc plate soon
I bought the OG 60HE and put it in the OG Tofu 60 case about a year ago. Also wondering if it’s worth buying the 60HE+ and Tofu Redux with L45 switches
This video is so solid at conveying the fact that Wooting 60HE simply does not adhere to most of the keyboard modding norms because of these contact-pin-less switches that essentially have a giant hole where physical tightening and contact would exist for traditional switches. Still doesn’t take away from these or modding them for that matter… (mine in Blade60 gets most love out of my collection), but yeah. Great video.
I have a black/brass PC design with the fractal North dark tg and the new black Alumaze case is beautiful, that accent piece matches perfectly! Low key canceling my 60He+ order and replacing with the module, I’d have case swapped anyway so this was perfect intel. Also, nice beard bro!!
Hey Badseed, completely unrelated to the review but how does the new ULX feel compared to the viper mini signature? Im stuck between the two and im not sure which to go for. Thank you lots!
@badseedtech thanks big man! Ill wait for the S variant to drop, been binging your mouse reviews for the last 2 days trying to make a decision but that settles it!
Is anyone able to confirm if the L45's or L60's feel more identical to the Cherry MX Silver or Cherry MX Red switches? Trying to decide between the 2 at the moment
