Wooting 60HE v2 Pre-Orders Open with December Shipping Date
Wooting has officially launched the founder's campaign for its highly anticipated Wooting 60HE v2 analog gaming keyboard. The pre-order campaign confirms the expected starting price of $179.99, with the top-tier configuration reaching $239.99. In a significant update, Wooting has announced that shipping for the 60HE v2 will begin on December 4, marking a clear timeline for early adopters. Previously, only the shipment date for the plastic case version was available, but the company now appears confident in meeting demand and delivering the first batch within a month of the pre-order launch.
Key Features and Layout Preferences
One of the standout features of the Wooting 60HE v2 is the introduction of an optional split space bar layout. To gauge community interest, Wooting has implemented a live tracker on the pre-order page, displaying the proportion of split space versus traditional space bar orders. Current data shows that approximately 80% of customers are opting for the traditional space bar, while only 20% are choosing the split space configuration. This trend aligns with broader market preferences, as split space bars are typically favored by keyboard enthusiasts and ergonomic users, rather than the mainstream gaming community.
Switches and Customization Options
All pre-built Wooting 60HE v2 keyboards will come equipped with the new closed-bottom Lekker Tikken Medium analog switches as standard. These switches are designed to deliver a responsive and precise typing experience, catering to both gamers and professionals. For users who prefer a customized feel, the switches are hot-swappable, allowing for easy replacement with compatible alternatives.
The Wooting 60HE v2 continues to build on the brand’s reputation for innovation in the analog keyboard space, offering advanced features and customization options that appeal to both gaming enthusiasts and productivity-focused users. With a confirmed shipping date and a range of configurations, the 60HE v2 is set to make a strong impact in the mechanical keyboard market.
