I want an analog keyboard so that when I play games with driving I can precisely control how much I steer. I'm not playing racing games perse, but games like Cyberpunk, GTA, or even just being able to control walking speed.

I was looking at the wooting 80he because I heard it has the best software which means maybe the best compatibility for games?

I'm not getting it for whatever that rappy snappy feature is or the quick response time. I want it for the analog control for driving mostly. And no I don't want to get a controller or steering wheel because I prefer keyboard and I'm not doing racing games.

When I was researching I saw a whole lot about custom stuff and I don't know enough about keyboards to understand. I'm using like a $50 mechanical wireless chinese keyboard so I'm not trying to min-max my response time and stuff.

My fingers stumbled onto a G915 at Best Buy the other day, and the awesome switches made me decide it's time to replace my massive full-sized Razer Blackwidow v2 with a new, smaller board. I've selected a set of boards that could be ideal, but it's really hard for me to decide between them:

Low profile

• Logitech G915 TKL (tactile switches)

• Razer Deathstalker Pro (clicky purple switches)

• Keychron K7 RGB (tactile brown switches)

• Fnatic Streak 65LP

• Corsair K70 Pro

Analog

• Wooting 60He

• Razer Huntsman v2 analog

• Steelseries Apex Pro Mini Wireless

I wish I could all try them side-by-side, but I don't know where I would even be able to. Some things to keep in mind are:

• I mainly play FPS games (mainly Overwatch)

• I like tactile buttons and want to stick to them for the low profile boards, but I am willing to switch to an analog keyboard if it makes a big difference

• Based off of reviews, I think the Deathstalker is probably a better pick than the G915 TKL

• The Keychron and the Deathstalker are hard to pick between, since the Keychron has my favorite form factor (65%), but I'm worried about the switch quality of it relative to the Deathstalker

• I don't know anything about how the Fnatic Streak and Corsair K70 switches and can't really compare them well

• Having programmable keys like macro keys on my Blackwidow would definitely be cool, especially to launch certain programs

• I like having arrow keys on my keyboard.

• It's not obvious to me that analog keyboards are going to be significantly more advantageous, although I think the programming that's possible with the Wooting makes it really cool. I wish there was a low-profile, tactile, 65% Wooting keyboard, that'd be the dream.

What do you guys suggest I go with?

For a long time, I wanted to get the Huntsman V2 Analog but didn't due to budget restrictions (I now have a bigger budget). Now I can get it on sale for around $120. But, I've also discovered the Wooting Two, which seems to be a superior keyboard, but it would cost me about twice as much including shipping, import taxes etc. Then there's also the Huntsman V3, which people seem to think is even better than the Wooting, or at least a solid upgrade from the V2. But then we're talking almost three times as much money, which I can technically afford, but I don't think I should spend that much on a keyboard (an option could be to wait for a sale on this).

Those of you who have experience with these keyboards: Please help me choose. I've never owned an analog keyboard before, and I'm not a professional gamer. I think I subconsciously want someone to say that the V2 is still a good keyboard, and a good buy for that price (I live in Norway) compared to the others, but do let me know your honest opinion.

Tldr: 60% HE with wireless. Where.gif

[rant for wireless you can ignore]Before you all post that you don't need wireless - ok I'm glad for you, but i am not you and you are not me. There are reasons i need this so please just accept this fact. Wireless is good enough even for mice, even has 8k and wired and wireless has same (or close to) latency please it's not 1990 anymore. I only write this because last time i tried even mentioning wireless everyone came out of the woodwork to tell me how they decided on my behalf that i shouldn't get one even though i need it.[/rant]

Now I've read wooting isn't gonna do it, ok so be it. Q: is there a 60% (or at most 75-80% if there really doesn't exist any~60%, the smaller the better. Heck, i use a one handed keyboard right now) wireless HE alternative?

Required: socd/last key priority built into the keyboard. And wireless HE obviously.

Don't care if i need to download some chinese uac red driver. Don't need 8k. Don't care if it's 600g or 2600g. Don't need f1 row or arrow keys, the smaller the better. Don't care if i have to charge it every day.

There's a billion HE boards these days, it's flooded, even a bunch of wireless, but most "reviewers" don't even bother testing the polling rate of the keyboard, not even mentioning doing any proper testing other than "here is me typing, this is how it sounds". If someone knows or has then I'm all ears. Even if it's in development or heard rumors I'll take it.

So far I'm only aware of keychron q1 he (insanely expensive)/ k2 (preorder), akko/monsgeek v3 (240hz polling for every other than 4 keys), and a few really unheard ones like keydous that i assume is just some chinese dropshipper rebadging alibaba ones.

Sorry for the long and ranty post, I've just been going in circles for days and realize that i didn't even know stuff like: oh this 8k polling keyboard is actually working at 240hz for some reason. I assume you guys know stuff that i don't even know what to look for.

Thanks

Hi,

I saw the finalmouse keyboard reveal and I thought about how many more keyboards are there which are analog.

I found two, other than a wooting keyboard and finalmouse centerpeice:

Ace pad tech-https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4262 which is just $100

Fluz keyboard- https://fluxkeyboard.com/ which is basically a finalmouse keyboard without 8khz(unreleased)

and there is probably a pulsar keyboard this year which they teased in their 2023 mice preview video.

Anyone know anymore?
