00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:04.074
- Use this cutout to create a keyboard stand for those juicy pictures.

00:00:04.074 --> 00:00:07.937
(people laughing) Wait what, this is actually... Hold on, hold on.

00:00:07.937 --> 00:00:12.233
That's actually like pretty cool. The thing about keyboards that kind of sucks

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.

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,

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.

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.

00:00:32.011 --> 00:00:33.073
Which is really cool.

00:00:36.279 --> 00:00:40.381
Sorry, I got distracted by the switches. They're all off, they're right here.

00:00:40.381 --> 00:00:44.391
That's it, now here's the key caps. Okay, so that sucks,

00:00:44.391 --> 00:00:47.960
I gotta install all the key caps. Look, we've got an accessory pack.

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.

00:00:52.778 --> 00:00:56.723
Oh, this is actually really impressive.

00:00:57.930 --> 00:01:01.093
Oh, the switches and the key cap puller. Yeah, they're great,

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.

00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:08.290
So I guess they give you four replacements. Yeah, what I really want to show you

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

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.

00:01:16.550 --> 00:01:20.010
There's like a little... You don't own a Wooting until you share it

00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:24.073
with others on our discord or tag us on Instagram. Use this cutout.

00:01:26.403 --> 00:01:30.810
Use this cutout to create a keyboard stand for those juicy pictures.

00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:34.316
Wait what... This is actually, hold on, hold on.

00:01:34.316 --> 00:01:37.460
You gotta see this, you gotta see this. So you can like, yeah.

00:01:37.460 --> 00:01:40.758
Can we get scissors? Cause we can make a keyboard stand with this thing.

00:01:40.758 --> 00:01:43.890
Yeah, it's a serious pain that I have to actually cut this out

00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:47.647
because like the cardboard is, you know, it's thick. There you go.

00:01:47.647 --> 00:01:52.040
Very cool. Can we open it and just like flip it on?

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,

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,

00:02:00.903 --> 00:02:06.055
like Jam K sets or whatever, you can put that from your keyboard onto this one.

00:02:06.055 --> 00:02:09.395
It's got like a little cable routing space down here.

00:02:09.395 --> 00:02:13.243
Oh and the blue stabilizers. Yeah, these stabs are look nice too.

00:02:13.243 --> 00:02:17.508
They're linear. So if you like click keys or

00:02:17.508 --> 00:02:22.300
tactile switches, it's not for you, sorry. It sounds okay.

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.

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.542
I think I know what it is, why people can't... Oh,

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.

00:02:35.091 --> 00:02:37.674
(upbeat music)

00:02:38.993 --> 00:02:43.520
The overall sound is like pretty decent. (keyboard clicking)

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.

00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:52.950
- Can you make the sound for us? - Like a thud, thud, I don't know.

00:02:52.950 --> 00:02:56.321
185, okay, so this thing is almost $200.

00:02:56.321 --> 00:03:01.041
(keyboard clicking) It sounds okay for that price range.

00:03:01.041 --> 00:03:04.910
Like I guess what you're really paying for is the analog feature on the switches.

00:03:04.910 --> 00:03:08.883
The layout's fine. It's your standard full keyboard. Flexes like a little bit.

00:03:08.883 --> 00:03:12.380
But it feels okay. The cool thing is you can actually change, not the force,

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.

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.

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.

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

00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:34.990
to keep everyone from stealing your info. They come in over 30 colors and styles,

00:03:34.990 --> 00:03:40.089

00:03:44.274 --> 00:03:47.660
Oh (beep), it's got RGB now. Sorry, I'm trying not to swear.

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

00:03:51.633 --> 00:03:54.821
through the clear housing, on the switches really well.

00:03:54.821 --> 00:03:58.877
So I usually type about 120 words a minute at like a hundred percent accuracy.

00:03:58.877 --> 00:04:02.000
It doesn't feel bad, it feels great. I'm just doing real bad.

00:04:03.052 --> 00:04:06.480
Yeah, that was terrible. 90 words a minute. Dirt, it's got Dirt on here.

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:09.735
So this is cool, it's not giving me keyword prompts,

00:04:09.735 --> 00:04:13.452
it's giving me controller prompts. Okay, so here's what I wanna see. So like...

00:04:13.452 --> 00:04:17.134
Okay, so yeah, holding W just got straight throttle,

00:04:17.134 --> 00:04:20.335
but then I should be able to just slightly further the gas.

00:04:20.335 --> 00:04:23.750
Yeah it works. Ah, the one thing though,

00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:27.710
is that since the travel distance is actually here to there,

00:04:27.710 --> 00:04:30.970
like that's what, I mean five millimeters or something,

00:04:30.970 --> 00:04:34.460
like it's really not much. What's it called?

00:04:34.460 --> 00:04:38.535
Wootility, that is the best name for software.

00:04:38.535 --> 00:04:42.910
(people laughing) Oh, okay. So you've got like an RGB layout, which is great.

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.

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

00:04:54.177 --> 00:04:58.298
for the actuation on everything. Dark theme, every time.

00:04:58.298 --> 00:05:01.454
Oh, you can remap everything. That's actually pretty cool too.

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.

00:05:06.510 --> 00:05:11.980
Yeah, so I'm barely pressing it. I'm barely pressing it and it comes up.

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.

00:05:16.416 --> 00:05:20.220
Okay. Oh, you can create profiles too. So you have to switch it in software

00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:23.300
instead of just a little toggle on the keyboard, which would actually be pretty cool.

00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:27.290
Yeah, I don't see anything. - Dude, I saw macro keys. Those alpha keys.

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,

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.

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,

00:05:41.030 --> 00:05:44.210
I guess, where I'm just kind of pressing it all the way down

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

00:05:48.357 --> 00:05:51.474
than trying to like feather it properly.

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.

00:05:56.940 --> 00:05:59.723
I really wish you could change it to like zero. This feels okay.

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.

00:06:07.294 --> 00:06:13.424
Cause it's just your finger pressing down on this thing. Especially with the higher like...

00:06:13.424 --> 00:06:16.745
Oh, what's the word? Actuation force, I guess.

00:06:16.745 --> 00:06:19.970
When it's like wait too hard to press a key down.

00:06:19.970 --> 00:06:23.737
I mean, these are like 60 grams or something, so it's not too bad.

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.

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,

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.448
ability to feather on and off, I think it's pretty high to be perfectly honest.

00:06:40.448 --> 00:06:43.900
All of your keyboard instinct is just press,

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.

00:06:47.973 --> 00:06:53.348
I just think that if you're trying to buy it for a purely analog experience,

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

00:06:56.963 --> 00:07:01.344
and then setting it to whatever you want it to actually actuate on.

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.

00:07:06.053 --> 00:07:10.090
Cause you naturally, like there's too much pressor. There's too much pressure.

00:07:10.090 --> 00:07:13.770
On a thumb stick, there's a lot more control with your thumb.

00:07:13.770 --> 00:07:17.140
Like your thumb is a much, like meteor finger, right?

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.

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.

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.

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

00:07:32.883 --> 00:07:37.173
by having this analog input on a keyboard rather than feeling like they're forced

00:07:37.173 --> 00:07:41.460
to use a controller to get there. If you're so hardcore

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.

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,

00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:53.630
the way they're intended for like proper analog use, they need to up the stem,

00:07:53.630 --> 00:07:57.116
another three, four millimeters, to give you finer control.

00:07:57.116 --> 00:08:00.460
Yeah, that's the problem. It's like analog but

00:08:01.447 --> 00:08:06.070
not analog enough. Thanks for watching everyone.

00:08:06.070 --> 00:08:09.517
This is the Wooting Two HE, it's not bad.

00:08:09.517 --> 00:08:12.790
Couple of hundred bucks. I don't know, I would get something else,

00:08:12.790 --> 00:08:15.791
but I think it definitely appeals to a bunch of people out there.

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

00:08:19.830 --> 00:08:22.987
of the Logitech TKL, that was a nice keyboard.

00:08:22.987 --> 00:08:26.550
Especially if you like Logitech and you don't want to build your own custom board.

00:08:26.550 --> 00:08:28.743
Cause we all know that's way too expensive.
