00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:04,074
- Use this cutout to create a keyboard stand for those juicy pictures.

2
00:00:04,074 --> 00:00:07,937
(people laughing) Wait what, this is actually... Hold on, hold on.

3
00:00:07,937 --> 00:00:12,233
That's actually like pretty cool. The thing about keyboards that kind of sucks

4
00:00:12,233 --> 00:00:16,895
is that you don't get that little bit of control that you get with analog thumb sticks.

5
00:00:16,895 --> 00:00:22,420
You've got to like tap a key, really lightly a whole bunch, instead of being able to just push a stick forward,

6
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:26,620
ever so slightly to walk right up to the edge that you want to walk up to.

7
00:00:26,620 --> 00:00:32,011
So what I'm really excited about with this Wooting Two HE keyboard, is it's analog.

8
00:00:32,011 --> 00:00:33,073
Which is really cool.

9
00:00:36,279 --> 00:00:40,381
Sorry, I got distracted by the switches. They're all off, they're right here.

10
00:00:40,381 --> 00:00:44,391
That's it, now here's the key caps. Okay, so that sucks,

11
00:00:44,391 --> 00:00:47,960
I gotta install all the key caps. Look, we've got an accessory pack.

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,778
We've got a puller, a cable and four switches. I got to judge the cable too, real bad.

13
00:00:52,778 --> 00:00:56,723
Oh, this is actually really impressive.

14
00:00:57,930 --> 00:01:01,093
Oh, the switches and the key cap puller. Yeah, they're great,

15
00:01:01,093 --> 00:01:05,160
I mean, but once you have like five of them. So these are the switches. These are those Lekker switches.

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,290
So I guess they give you four replacements. Yeah, what I really want to show you

17
00:01:08,290 --> 00:01:12,890
is the bottom of this thing. It's just got these little side clips, but no pins

18
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:16,550
because it actually uses magnets. Get rid of this box. Oh, it's kind of cool though.

19
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:20,010
There's like a little... You don't own a Wooting until you share it

20
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:24,073
with others on our discord or tag us on Instagram. Use this cutout.

21
00:01:26,403 --> 00:01:30,810
Use this cutout to create a keyboard stand for those juicy pictures.

22
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:34,316
Wait what... This is actually, hold on, hold on.

23
00:01:34,316 --> 00:01:37,460
You gotta see this, you gotta see this. So you can like, yeah.

24
00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:40,758
Can we get scissors? Cause we can make a keyboard stand with this thing.

25
00:01:40,758 --> 00:01:43,890
Yeah, it's a serious pain that I have to actually cut this out

26
00:01:43,890 --> 00:01:47,647
because like the cardboard is, you know, it's thick. There you go.

27
00:01:47,647 --> 00:01:52,040
Very cool. Can we open it and just like flip it on?

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,080
No, there's no way. Yeah, there's no way. So they come in like pretty stuck in,

29
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,903
they use the same cross pattern on the top. So any key caps that you have, custom or just, you know,

30
00:02:00,903 --> 00:02:06,055
like Jam K sets or whatever, you can put that from your keyboard onto this one.

31
00:02:06,055 --> 00:02:09,395
It's got like a little cable routing space down here.

32
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:13,243
Oh and the blue stabilizers. Yeah, these stabs are look nice too.

33
00:02:13,243 --> 00:02:17,508
They're linear. So if you like click keys or

34
00:02:17,508 --> 00:02:22,300
tactile switches, it's not for you, sorry. It sounds okay.

35
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:27,400
The real test though is like the space bar because a lot of stabilizers, just sound bad.

36
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,542
I think I know what it is, why people can't... Oh,

37
00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:35,091
I don't know if they pre lubed them or what, but they actually don't rattle.

38
00:02:35,091 --> 00:02:37,674
(upbeat music)

39
00:02:38,993 --> 00:02:43,520
The overall sound is like pretty decent. (keyboard clicking)

40
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:49,100
It's a little too high pitched for me. I like a deeper like thud to it.

41
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,950
- Can you make the sound for us? - Like a thud, thud, I don't know.

42
00:02:52,950 --> 00:02:56,321
185, okay, so this thing is almost $200.

43
00:02:56,321 --> 00:03:01,041
(keyboard clicking) It sounds okay for that price range.

44
00:03:01,041 --> 00:03:04,910
Like I guess what you're really paying for is the analog feature on the switches.

45
00:03:04,910 --> 00:03:08,883
The layout's fine. It's your standard full keyboard. Flexes like a little bit.

46
00:03:08,883 --> 00:03:12,380
But it feels okay. The cool thing is you can actually change, not the force,

47
00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:16,967
but like where it actuates. Okay, so we've got all our key caps on, it sounds okay.

48
00:03:16,967 --> 00:03:22,100
Let's try plugging it in but before I do, here's a message from our sponsor Ridge Wallet.

49
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:26,040
It's a compact wallet to keep your pant bulge down. You know, you got to hate that.

50
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,810
I don't even use a phone case on my phone to keep that down. It's got RFID blocking plates

51
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:34,990
to keep everyone from stealing your info. They come in over 30 colors and styles,

52
00:03:34,990 --> 00:03:40,089

by using Offercodecircuit at www.ridge.com/circuit.

54
00:03:44,274 --> 00:03:47,660
Oh (beep), it's got RGB now. Sorry, I'm trying not to swear.

55
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:51,633
I got a mouth like a sailor from working in a butcher shop for three years. Oh, what I do like is it shines

56
00:03:51,633 --> 00:03:54,821
through the clear housing, on the switches really well.

57
00:03:54,821 --> 00:03:58,877
So I usually type about 120 words a minute at like a hundred percent accuracy.

58
00:03:58,877 --> 00:04:02,000
It doesn't feel bad, it feels great. I'm just doing real bad.

59
00:04:03,052 --> 00:04:06,480
Yeah, that was terrible. 90 words a minute. Dirt, it's got Dirt on here.

60
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,735
So this is cool, it's not giving me keyword prompts,

61
00:04:09,735 --> 00:04:13,452
it's giving me controller prompts. Okay, so here's what I wanna see. So like...

62
00:04:13,452 --> 00:04:17,134
Okay, so yeah, holding W just got straight throttle,

63
00:04:17,134 --> 00:04:20,335
but then I should be able to just slightly further the gas.

64
00:04:20,335 --> 00:04:23,750
Yeah it works. Ah, the one thing though,

65
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:27,710
is that since the travel distance is actually here to there,

66
00:04:27,710 --> 00:04:30,970
like that's what, I mean five millimeters or something,

67
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:34,460
like it's really not much. What's it called?

68
00:04:34,460 --> 00:04:38,535
Wootility, that is the best name for software.

69
00:04:38,535 --> 00:04:42,910
(people laughing) Oh, okay. So you've got like an RGB layout, which is great.

70
00:04:42,910 --> 00:04:48,150
You can like fully customize where your RGB goes, but you've got these digital profiles and analog profiles.

71
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:54,177
And so these analog profiles are what I was talking about earlier, where I said that you can change where exactly the height is

72
00:04:54,177 --> 00:04:58,298
for the actuation on everything. Dark theme, every time.

73
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:01,454
Oh, you can remap everything. That's actually pretty cool too.

74
00:05:01,454 --> 00:05:05,663
And then you can change the actuation point. So if I go there, open like a notepad.

75
00:05:06,510 --> 00:05:11,980
Yeah, so I'm barely pressing it. I'm barely pressing it and it comes up.

76
00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:16,416
So if I go back to like 3.6 millimeters. Yeah, I got to push a lot further.

77
00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:20,220
Okay. Oh, you can create profiles too. So you have to switch it in software

78
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:23,300
instead of just a little toggle on the keyboard, which would actually be pretty cool.

79
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:27,290
Yeah, I don't see anything. - Dude, I saw macro keys. Those alpha keys.

80
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:31,020
- Oh, okay. I mean, they're changing the RGB. So yeah, it looks like they are changing the profile,

81
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:34,938
but like, I don't see that represented in the software. I don't know what these are doing.

82
00:05:34,938 --> 00:05:41,030
It might just be RGB modes. Uh, it feels okay, like having less range feels like a normal keyboard,

83
00:05:41,030 --> 00:05:44,210
I guess, where I'm just kind of pressing it all the way down

84
00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:48,357
and not really feathering it all that much. Like it's weird how much this feels more comfortable to me

85
00:05:48,357 --> 00:05:51,474
than trying to like feather it properly.

86
00:05:51,474 --> 00:05:56,940
So I'm gonna swap out, change it to, all the way down to 1.5 millimeters.

87
00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:59,723
I really wish you could change it to like zero. This feels okay.

88
00:06:01,002 --> 00:06:07,294
Again, I think my main problem overall with this thing is that like, it's not easy to feather keys.

89
00:06:07,294 --> 00:06:13,424
Cause it's just your finger pressing down on this thing. Especially with the higher like...

90
00:06:13,424 --> 00:06:16,745
Oh, what's the word? Actuation force, I guess.

91
00:06:16,745 --> 00:06:19,970
When it's like wait too hard to press a key down.

92
00:06:19,970 --> 00:06:23,737
I mean, these are like 60 grams or something, so it's not too bad.

93
00:06:23,737 --> 00:06:29,729
One other big downside to this keyboard is that you can only swap it with other Lekker switches.

94
00:06:29,729 --> 00:06:36,000
I mean, I think that the learning curve on this to try to actually get that proper, you know,

95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,448
ability to feather on and off, I think it's pretty high to be perfectly honest.

96
00:06:40,448 --> 00:06:43,900
All of your keyboard instinct is just press,

97
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:47,973
press all the way down. That's where you want it to go. It's an okay keyboard.

98
00:06:47,973 --> 00:06:53,348
I just think that if you're trying to buy it for a purely analog experience,

99
00:06:53,348 --> 00:06:56,963
it's more of something you're going to end up just like playing around with for 10 minutes

100
00:06:56,963 --> 00:07:01,344
and then setting it to whatever you want it to actually actuate on.

101
00:07:01,344 --> 00:07:06,053
Even when driving in Dirt, it didn't feel natural for me to just feather on half of it.

102
00:07:06,053 --> 00:07:10,090
Cause you naturally, like there's too much pressor. There's too much pressure.

103
00:07:10,090 --> 00:07:13,770
On a thumb stick, there's a lot more control with your thumb.

104
00:07:13,770 --> 00:07:17,140
Like your thumb is a much, like meteor finger, right?

105
00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:21,001
Like we do a lot of stuff with it. Whereas your fingers are kind of delicate in comparison.

106
00:07:21,001 --> 00:07:25,530
I don't know, maybe the space bar. No, even the space bar, it just doesn't feel right.

107
00:07:25,530 --> 00:07:29,180
It's like, it always wants to push down or push up. It doesn't want to meet me in the middle.

108
00:07:29,180 --> 00:07:32,883
So this is going to really appeal to someone who thinks that they're going to get an edge

109
00:07:32,883 --> 00:07:37,173
by having this analog input on a keyboard rather than feeling like they're forced

110
00:07:37,173 --> 00:07:41,460
to use a controller to get there. If you're so hardcore

111
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:45,210
that you've got a steering wheel and gas pedal at that point, you're not going to buy this thing.

112
00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:49,460
You're just going to buy a better racing rig. But I think if you want to actually use these,

113
00:07:49,460 --> 00:07:53,630
the way they're intended for like proper analog use, they need to up the stem,

114
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:57,116
another three, four millimeters, to give you finer control.

115
00:07:57,116 --> 00:08:00,460
Yeah, that's the problem. It's like analog but

116
00:08:01,447 --> 00:08:06,070
not analog enough. Thanks for watching everyone.

117
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:09,517
This is the Wooting Two HE, it's not bad.

118
00:08:09,517 --> 00:08:12,790
Couple of hundred bucks. I don't know, I would get something else,

119
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:15,791
but I think it definitely appeals to a bunch of people out there.

120
00:08:15,791 --> 00:08:19,830
If you like this video, it's not a TKL, but you can check out Linus' review

121
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:22,987
of the Logitech TKL, that was a nice keyboard.

122
00:08:22,987 --> 00:08:26,550
Especially if you like Logitech and you don't want to build your own custom board.

123
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:28,743
Cause we all know that's way too expensive.
