Wooting 80HE vs Wooting 60HE v2
Same company. Same Rapid Trigger idea. Different desks. The 80HE is the current CS2 and Fortnite pro default with arrows and an F-row. The 60HE v2 is the compact reboot VALORANT still lives on. Performance is not the fork. Layout is the fork.
Quick Verdict
Typing + CS2 default → 80HE · Max mouse space → 60HE v2
Buy 80HE if this is the only keyboard on the desk. Buy 60HE v2 if the mouse pad is the scarce resource. Do not pay twice for the same Wootility features in two sizes unless you have a reason.
Head-to-Head
Layout
80HE for most people
The 80HE keeps a function row, arrows, and navigation keys in an 80 percent footprint. The 60HE v2 strips those to layers. Competitive VALORANT players like the extra mouse swing. Anyone who alt-tabs, types, or uses F-keys for binds will feel the 60 percent tax every day.
Switches and feel
60HE v2 Tikken is the newer switch
80HE ships Lekker L60 V2 (or L45) Hall Effect. 60HE v2 ships Lekker Tikken closed-bottom switches aimed at less wobble and a better typing sound. Both are Rapid Trigger. Public reviews treat v2 as the better-sounding compact, not as a faster board.
Pro share
80HE overall, 60HE still VAL
August 2026 CS2 tracking has 80HE first. VALORANT still shows heavy 60HE / 60HE+ / v2 compact share. Combined Wooting brand share is the story, not a 0.1ms gap between these two PCBs.
Price
Close
80HE PCR starts around $200. 60HE v2 ABS around $180, aluminum around $240. Zinc 80HE is the expensive typing-sound upgrade. Amazon is a worse storefront than Wooting for both.

FAQ
No meaningful competitive gap. Both do Rapid Trigger and true 8 kHz. The 80HE is the board you type on. The 60HE v2 is the board that leaves more mouse pad.
Only if you want Tikken switches, friction-fit, and native 8 kHz. If the original 60HE already feels right, keep the money.
