Scores: Wooting 60HE 8.2/10 · Wooting 80HE 8.7/10

Wooting 80HE takes the win for most users because the TKL layout adds arrow keys and navigation without sacrificing any of the 60HE's magnetic switch performance or rapid trigger speed. The 60HE remains preferable only when desk space is extremely limited or maximum portability is required. Both score high on RTINGS-style latency tests and owner reports for analog input precision.
