wooting no. Hall effect keyboards, yes. Many arguably better alternatives. Though, wooting has the best software.

For Val: 100% best option but the price is super high, ik there a cheaper alternatives which at 90% as good for half the cost, but it’s the best option possible when price isn’t a factor

For productivity; no. A 60he doesn’t have a num pad, f1 f 2 f3… keys, the ~ key, or other important ones. Plus, this is just imo, its a soft keyboard if that makes sense (not much resistance on keys) which imo isn’t as good for productivity, but that is 100% personal preference

I heard you can program other buttons to work as arrow keys if needed? Im a developer.

U don’t really have many keys to work with tbh that you can sacrifice for arrow keys, but yes you can swap keys using the wooting software it’s really easy. If ur a dev tho, I’d recommend getting another keyboard or getting the wooting 80he which does have arrow keys

depends how much % is productivity if it is over 40-50% or higher of your usage it isnt worth it you can keyboards that are close to or as good as a wooting w/o giving up your productivity quality if it is less then >30% just keep ur current keyboard or buy a office keyboard for productivity

I've owned both Wooting 60HE and EZ63. HE keyboards absolutely slam everything else for valorant/cs. Wooting vs EZ63 is super subjective tho. I personally liked the 60HE more but both are great boards. Wootility is flawless and web-based as well. Meaning it will not bloat ur system like G Hub. Get either gang, both are solid options.

Personally i use apex pro for 4 years and its the best, i tried other popular ones like the wooting aswell but i always come back to apex pro, also the durability and build quality is insanely good

Magnetic switch keyboard is worth it, wooting is kinda overpriced ngl

yes bc they share a name w/ the goat
fr tho buying a whole kb for val would not be what i would do unless u have a lot of money to spare
in general if ur deadset on buying a kb then they seem good, tho (as with most large/famous brands) there are other cheaper options that are similar quality

Is the HE on wooting for hall effects? Is it bad for other stuff other than valorant?

Ye HE = hall effect
And nah not bad for typing, just... mediocre.

During typing the big HE advantages (Rapid trigger and Snap) arent relevant.
So its just a plain linear switch (unremarkable for the price, but nothing bad either).

If you like linear switches then theres a very good chance youll enjoy them.
If you like clicky/tactile switches youre unfortunately out of luck.

So it comes down to preference. Id always recommend looking if one of your local tech stores has keyboards on display that you can test first, but if youve had linear switches before then its basically the same, just even more linear.
