Our Verdict

Wooting 60HE

REALFORCE GX1

The Wooting 60HE and the REALFORCE GX1 are analog gaming keyboards. Both allow you to customize the actuation and reset points of individual switches. The Wooting has a smaller compact (60%) form factor and uses linear Hall-effect switches. It also has significantly better raw gaming performance. The REALFORCE, on the other hand, is a larger TKL model that uses tactile Topre switches, which provide a distinct, satisfying typing feel with a soft bottom-out.
