Best alternatives to Wooting 60HE?
Wooting 60HE is a fantastic rapid trigger keyboard, but it’s a bit overpriced in 2025 especially with all the competition that offers the same or more features. If you’re looking into alternatives, be it lower price or different layout, check out my short article about alternatives for Wooting or just check the huge list of hall effect keyboards.
And below are some nice picks, but it’s not an updated list:
- Epomaker HE75 Mag – great price at only $99, 75% layout, hall effect and rapid trigger and also 8kHz polling rate
- Luminkey Magger 68 – 65% layout keyboard with hall effect, rapid trigger, DKS and cheaper than Wooting 60HE, very low latency, $119
- SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini – 60% keyboard with hall effect switches and rapid trigger, has a great feel to it and has really low input delay, priced at $179.99
