The board layout itself is pretty standard 65% fare, by which I mean it's my actual favourite gaming keyboard layout. It's also at most half the price if you include fancy new switches, and if you've got a headset on you'd be hard pressed to feel the difference. It's not the ultra rich-sounding experience of using the Mountain Everest 60 or Asus ROG Azoth, but it now feels great to type on, dampening or no. They're not bad, but definitely not great and, combined with the plastic, undampened chassis you do end up with quite a hollow-sounding typing experience.īut, having changed out the linear Kailh Red switches for a set of Halo True heavy tactile switches, the difference in the sound is clear. Unlike the KM360, however, the KM250 isn't shipping with genuine Cherry MX switches, instead it's using Kailh's version of those linear red switches. And honestly, I've experienced far worse stabilisers on expensive NZXT and Razer keyboards in the past. I will say up front that it is obviously lacking the high-end luxury of sound dampening and super-fancy stabilisers, but those are compromises I'm willing to make for such a supremely cheap keyboard. I'm honestly genuinely impressed with the package as a whole. And if you're looking to get into the enthusiast switch game it's a super cheap base to jam some quality switches into because it's entirely hot swappable. If you're after a good compact board you honestly don't need more. Right now you can pick up this compact 65% keyboard for just $40. Which is why the G.Skill KM250 has my attention, because it is bringing a host of those enthusiast keyboard features without the exorbitant price tag. In fact, it's nowhere close to costing a fortune, yet it still offers mechanical switches, per-key RGB, hot-swappable keys, and discrete media controls. The G.Skill KM250 RGB's best skill is that it doesn't. Mechanical gaming keyboards can cost a fortune. Even if you think you're sold on the analog movement of the Wooting, and it can be limited in scope depending on your preferred games and genres, there are many other great reasons to love it beyond that. That's what I've loved about every Wooting keyboard I've looked at so far, and no more so than the Wooting Two HE: they're not built on a great concept they deliver it. That's one benefit of there not really being all that many mechanical moving parts with a magnetic Lekker switch, and another is that there's less to break in the first place. If a switch breaks, you can swap it out, as the board is hot-swappable. The keyboard is solid, well-built, and comes with a two-year warranty. Wooting generally does a great job of living up to expectations, though. The Hall effect relies on the power of magnets.

There's a magnet within the stem of every Lekker switch, and by measuring the magnetic force of that magnet as it moves, through a Hall effect sensor on the keyboard's PCB, the Wooting Two HE is able to accurately track the full depression and return of the mechanical switch. Where the older Wooting boards relied on optical Flaretech switches, the newer HE board uses the Lekker switch, made by Wooting with popular switch maker Gateron, and relies on the Hall effect (hence Wooting Two 'HE') to achieve analog input. The Wooting Two HE differs from the Wooting One and Wooting Two in how it measures analog input, however. That's a concept we've started to see from bigger brands, though as far as I'm concerned it was Wooting that initially brought this concept to bear with a usable and affordable product in the Wooting One. That's great for games like GTA V, where you're often switching between running around, driving, and even flying. That means you could alter your range of movement between walking and running in a game without the use of a controller or even have some semblance of control in a driving game without an analog stick or wheel. The Wooting Two HE offers analog key control: if you depress a key, say the W key, rather than send a simple on/off signal to your PC, the keyboard will measure the full range of that key's motion.
The Wooting measures the entire key press.
