It only took one keyboard for Wooting to catapult to the top of the list of the best gaming keyboards. The 60HE is as iconic as it is controversial, flipping the mechanical keyboard world on its head with Hall Effect switches in a 60% form factor. Now, Wooting is back with the 80HE, which is a slightly larger keyboard that aims to improve on the handful of pitfalls the 60HE ran into.

You’re getting improved switches, a gasket mount, a clearer focus on internal construction, and all with the Hall Effect goodness that made the 60HE such a smash success. Wooting made a great keyboard here that feels premium from the moment you unpack it. However, unlike the 60HE, the new 80HE isn’t a foundation for mods and tweaks. It’s a great keyboard that you will inevitably retire, which is a hard sell for upward of $290.
