Wooting 60HE+ keycaps

Stock Keycap Quality

The Wooting 60HE+ ships with doubleshot PBT keycaps in OEM profile, a reliable mid-height profile commonly found on quality mechanical keyboards. At approximately 1.5mm thickness, these keycaps strike a balance between durability and acoustic properties.

Material and Construction

The doubleshot PBT construction means legends are molded from two separate plastic layers, making them essentially wear-proof. PBT plastic resists shine and oil buildup better than ABS, maintaining its textured surface even after extended gaming sessions. The material's natural properties also contribute to a lower-pitched, less hollow sound compared to ABS alternatives.

Profile and Ergonomics

The OEM profile features a moderate sculpt that most users find immediately comfortable, with each row sitting at a slightly different height to match natural finger positioning. This mid-height profile (taller than Cherry, shorter than SA) provides good ergonomics without the dramatic height differences of some enthusiast profiles.

RGB and Legends

The doubleshot construction creates crisp, clean legends that allow RGB illumination to shine through evenly. The south-facing LED configuration minimizes interference with Cherry-profile keycaps while providing excellent backlighting visibility. The font is neutral and highly legible at all viewing angles.

User Feedback

Reviewers consistently praise the stock keycaps as above-average for a gaming keyboard, with one noting they "feel great to use even after multiple hours of intense gaming." The moderate texture provides adequate grip without feeling coarse, and the legends remain sharp and clear.

While Wooting's stock keycaps deliver solid quality and functionality, many users upgrade to custom keycaps for specific profile preferences, unique colorways, or to achieve particular sound signatures. The hotswappable nature of the board makes experimentation easy.

Profile Options

The Wooting 60HE+'s MX-compatible switches open up the entire world of custom keycap profiles. For competitive gaming—the 60HE+'s primary use case—lower profiles like Cherry or KAM often excel due to reduced key travel distance and faster resets. The Cherry profile's 9.5mm height complements the keyboard's rapid trigger technology beautifully, while KAM's uniform sculpt can enhance muscle memory for WASD-heavy games.

For those seeking premium typing feel alongside gaming performance, PBS (Penguin Burst Spherical) offers a comfortable middle ground with spherical tops that cradle fingertips. MT3 profile enthusiasts should note that while these tall sculpted caps will physically fit, they may feel incongruous with the board's fast-actuation gaming DNA.

The OEM-profile stock keycaps provide an excellent baseline, making it easy to evaluate what you might want in a custom set.

Material Options

When selecting custom keycaps for the 60HE+, PBT remains the gold standard for gaming applications. Its resistance to shine and superior texture retention means your keycaps will look and feel fresh through countless gaming marathons. Dye-sublimation printing on PBT delivers fade-resistant legends that won't wear down even under the aggressive key presses competitive gaming demands.

ABS keycaps offer their own advantages: GMK's renowned colorways come exclusively in ABS, and some users prefer the slightly slicker feel for rapid movements. However, expect visible shine within months of regular use.

Thickness matters significantly for sound and stability. Look for keycaps at least 1.4mm thick to minimize wobble on the Lekker switches and achieve a deeper, more satisfying sound profile.

Layout Compatibility Analysis

Comparing the Wooting 60HE+ layout to standard 60% keyboards reveals excellent compatibility. The board follows the conventional 60% format almost perfectly, with all keys sized standardly: 6.25u spacebar, 1.25u modifiers across the bottom row, 2u backspace, 2.25u left shift, and 2.75u right shift.

The only notable difference is the bottom row modifier labels—the Wooting features a "Mod" key where many keyboards have a second "Super" key, and the far-right position is labeled "Menu" rather than "Ctrl." However, these are purely labeling differences; the physical key sizes remain absolutely standard.

This means virtually any 60% keycap set will fit the Wooting 60HE+ perfectly. You won't need compatibility kits or unusual sizes. Even budget sets designed for standard 60% boards will work flawlessly.

The south-facing LED orientation is ideal for Cherry-profile keycaps, as it eliminates the north-facing interference issues that plague some boards. This ensures your custom keycaps will sit flush and wobble-free.
