What a Wooting 60HE
sounds like.
Each button plays a short phrase typed on that switch family, so you are comparing rhythm rather than a single tap. Play two in a row — that is where the difference actually shows up.
These are recordings of the switch family, not of this exact keyboard. That is the honest way to do it — the family is what dominates the sound, and switch options move between model years and regions. Check the listing before buying on the strength of a match here.
Lo que estás oyendo
How it
en realidad.
Lekker switches are magnetic, so the acoustic story is the same as every Hall-effect board: nothing in the travel, no click, no bump, no contact leaf. What you hear is the stem bottoming out and returning, and nothing else.
Wooting's cases are lighter and less heavily damped than a SteelSeries Apex Pro, which makes the 60HE and 80HE brighter and cleaner rather than deep. The 60HE in particular is a small plastic case with modest fill, so there is a certain amount of the case in the sound. The 80HE is the more solid of the two.
The characteristic Wooting sound is crisp and precise. It is a board bought for latency rather than acoustics, and it sounds like a well-made tool rather than something tuned for pleasure.
Por qué suena así
The build
que hay detrás del ruido.
Wooting's own Lekker magnetic switches, read by Hall-effect sensors with continuous position tracking, supporting rapid trigger and analog input. The 60HE is a compact plastic-cased 60%; the 80HE is a larger 80% with a more substantial build and an 8,000 Hz polling rate. The 80HE PCB also accepts Gateron KS-20 and Magnetic Jade switches, which is unusually open for a magnetic board.

Buenas preguntas
Wooting 60HE
en preguntas.
Do all Hall-effect keyboards sound the same?
Closer than mechanical boards do. Every magnetic switch is a linear with nothing in its travel, so the switch contributes very little character and the case does almost all of the work. A Wooting, a Keychron Q1 HE, and an Apex Pro sound different from each other because their cases differ — not because the switches do.
Is the Wooting 60HE quiet?
Moderately. There is no click or bump making noise, which helps, but the 60HE's plastic case has modest damping so you hear a certain amount of it. It is quieter than a clicky board by a wide margin and comparable to a decent linear. The 80HE's heavier build is the quieter of the two.
What is the difference between the 60HE and the 80HE?
Size and build, mostly. The 80HE is an 80% layout with a more substantial case, higher polling, and a PCB that also accepts Gateron magnetic switches rather than only Lekkers. The 60HE is the compact original. On sound the 80HE is slightly fuller thanks to the heavier construction; the switch behaviour is the same.
