That’s right, Wootility V5 is now out of beta! The focus for V5 was to create a coherent and clean experience, simplify management of your profiles and rethinking the way you navigate around Wootility for all your possible keyboard settings.

For Wootility, this is only just the beginning of this new and improved version, as as we have a lot of planned features to add in the future!

So let’s look at some of the highlights!

• Enhanced Profile Management

  • Everything is now bundled in one single menu

  • An overview of your active- and inactive profiles

  • Allow for a personal touch with banners and icons for your profiles

• New control and keyboard features

  • You can now drag an area to select keys

  • You can now double-click to select keys with the same configuration

  • Visualize arbitrary information with the Wooting 80HE’s Light Indicator

  • Rapid Trigger sensitivity can now be set individually per key (not available on AVR devices due to memory/flash storage limitations)

• Improved device handling

  • Reduced issues that could occur when using 3rd party RGB apps

  • Improved device connection handling relating to firmware updates

  • While updating firmware, Wootility-related notifications will no longer show.

  • Devices are detected quicker

Additionally, we also shipped a lot of bug fixes and smaller quality of life updates with this release as well. For a full list of these you can read the Wootility changelog. Wootility V5 is both available on desktop and as download, you can find both here.

Let us know what you think

Want to keep talking about anything Wootility related? You can do so in our Discord server in the special Wootility channel. For your thoughts and feedback, the devs would like you to fill in this survey as this will help them tremendously with the shape of Wootility for the future. We will raffle away two Wooting 80HEs among all submissions.

Seeing all of this and thinking: “TLDR”. Of course we got you covered with a video where we take you on a tour on V5 Wootility! Don’t worry, it’s really not that scary, but Sander will hold your hand and guide you through it.

On behalf of Simon, Pola and the rest of the dev team, thank you in advance for your feedback, comments and compliments for Wootility! They can’t wait to read what you have to say.

Is there an app for the beta firmware or is it just online?

Thanks
