Our Verdict

Geonworks Venom 60 HE

Wooting 60HE

The Wooting 60HE and Geonworks Venom 60 HE are both high-performance gaming keyboards that use Hall effect switches. The major difference between them is that the Geonworks is only available as a custom PCB, and you need to buy the rest of the components and build the keyboard yourself. This adds a degrfee of complexity but also allows for a great deal of hardware customizabiltiy. Comparatively, the Wooting is a fully pre-built keyboard. The Wooting also has RGB backlighting, which the Geonworks lacks, and while both have fairly robust software with support for advanced features like Rapid Trigger and SOCD, the Wooting software has more options overall, including several advanced features like DKS (dynamic keystrokes) and true analog output.
