Our Verdict
Geonworks Venom 60 HE
Wooting 80HE
Both the Wooting 80HE and Geonworks Venom 60 HE are high-performance keyboards that use Hall effect switches that are intended for competitive gaming. The Geonworks is noteworthy for only being a custom PCB, so you need to separately buy the rest of the components to build the keyboard yourself, adding complexity but also greater hardware flexibility. On the other hand, the Wooting is a fully pre-built keyboard. Unlike the Geonworks, it also has full RGB backlighting. Both keyboards have good web-based software, but the Wooting additionally has an offline client and supports several more niche, advanced features that the Geonworks doesn't, including DKS (dynamic keystrokes) and true analog output.
