one Analog RGB TKL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Pressure Sensitive, Linear Red Optical Switch, <1ms Input, RGB backlighting, Aluminum Chassis, N-Key Rollover, US Layout) - Black

Overview:The Wooting One keyboard is labeled as the first ever analog gaming keyboard, which basically means that the switches can detect different amounts of pressure on the keys and relay that information to video games that are compatible with analog input. This is a huge help to games such as racing and shooting games. The “analog” label is what makes the Wooting One standout. It is its main feature along with some other useful features.Design:The design is a standard tenkeyless keyboard without a number pad. I had no gripes or problems with the design, although a number pad would have been a nice addition. The RGB backlighting and key lighting are vibrant and colorful, standard on most gaming keyboards today. It’s a nice and compact design that I could see people taking along with them when traveling. However the keyboard is on the heavier side of the spectrum in terms of weight. Onthe bottom, the stands are a nice addition that allows you to prop the keyboard up. Also, on the bottom are slots that allow you to manage the USB cable that connects to the computer. A minor thing but still a nice thing that is included. The wire itself is braided and long enough that most people will not complain about a short cable. One last thing is that the included key and switch remover is a very nice addition, which makes it very easy to customize the keyboard however way you like. Overall the build quality seems very premium and the design is standard, but elegant.Comfort:At first it took a little bit of time to get adjusted to the placement of the keys, but that's expected as I was switching from a non-mechanical keyboard to the Wooting One. What was good was that it only took about 2 days for me to get used to the Wooting One. Overall the key placement is in the standard position so it is a very comfortable experience when typing.Software:The Wooting One uses the Wootility application to program the RGB lighting and setup the analog keyboard. The Wootility application is simple to use and there are instructions online on how to set up the Wooting One, which was very helpful and easy to follow. It’s super simple to adjust the RGB lighting however you want. Also. the presets included are very nice and appreciated. Overall the software is simple to use and it gets the job done.Performance and Features:The Wooting One’s main feature is its ability to be analog. I tested this feature out by driving around and GTA V and I could clearly see the difference between non-analog and analog. While on analog mode, it was much easier and smoother to control the car I was driving. Another feature that I personally liked was the DKS feature because it fits perfectly in MOBA games such as League of Legends, a game that I personally play. Overall I could see why people would use the Wooting One. If people spend time adjusting it to specific games, it could give a huge competitive advantage. One side note is that not all games work with the Wooting One’s analog abilities.Conclusion:The Wooting One is an unique keyboard that adds additional features on top of being a mechanical keyboard. Although it’s standard design doesn’t stand out, I have no complains about it because it gets the job done. The one thing that I really wished to included was a number pad, but even that isn’t much of a complaint. I believe that the Wooting One is an extremely excellent keyboard for typing and gaming, especially for those that are into competitive gaming. This is a keyboard worth learning how to use and stick with for a very long time.

I'm not a gamer. I purchased this keyboard as a general purpose keyboard. I also wanted to try the Flaretech switches.Aesthetics: Keyboard looks ok. Not ugly, not beautiful. I would have preferred a slightly smaller, standard 80% size without bezels.Typing feel: The switches are very smooth. Extremely smooth, even. No gritty feeling at all. The tactile click is very pronounced. Keys feel very light and pleasant to type on. Outstanding.Typing sound: The click sound is too high pitched for my taste, but not as bad as Cherry MX Blue and similar switches. Thicker keycaps would have improved the sound.Keycaps: Thin ABS plastic. Feels cheap. I'd expect thick PBT keycaps from a product of this class. The switch stems are Cherry MX compatible, and it's possible to replace keycaps on this keyboard with something better. Keys are moderately wobbly.RGB backlight: Full feature set of RGB backlighting with all effects and gimmicks. Backlight flickers (most likely PWM flicker) on any brightness level. This makes backlight unusable for me.Software: Surprisingly nice, for a keyboard."Analog" gaming features: Not reviewing this. I do not care about these features at all.Overall: a very satisfying typing experience with acceptable, but a bit too loud and high pitched sound. Apart from keycaps, the keyboard does not feel cheap.Note that I'm reviewing a keyboard with blue (clicky) switches. Sound will be different with linear switches.For a first keyboard of an independent small firm, it's a very good attempt. By the looks of everything: packaging, software utility, their web site, you can tell that they care about their product.

I was looking to upgrade from a Razer Blackwidow TE v2 that i've been using for a few years. The only thing that I was nervous about on this keyboard were the switches, as I was worried i would miss the "tactile" feedback of my Razer Orange switches. Before that, I even used the clicky razer switches but found the noise to be more annoying than useful for me. The Red linear switches make for an awesome typing experience, and the software works significantly better than the Razer Synapse software, and you can fully adjust key actuation starting at 1.5mm, all the way to fully bottoming out at 3.7mm. The keyboard can store multiple profiles of lighting/analog configurations and even has a dedicated to switch between on the fly! The analog functionality is difficult to use as intended in my testing on Overwatch, but I can see it being a unique option for other types of games. Build quality is great, although as some have mentioned the included keycaps are not doubleshot and gather sweat fairly easily. I have absolutely no regrets, please buy this keyboard and support these awesome developers!

Apparently they removed the double keystroke (DKS) feature from the new drivers. That feature is in all the reviews and was one of the main reasons I bought this keyboard. So buyer beware, they don't support it any more in the current software. They also don't have any other macro or key rebinding functionality, which seems unusual for a high-end gaming keyboard.Other than the software, the keyboard seems pretty great. The analog feature is a bit hard to really use with the limited travel of a keyboard key (not Wooting's fault), but it's definitely there and working, and fun to mess with. The design and build quality are really nice. I bought replacement keycaps but, after swapping out half the keyboard, decided that the originals were actually better. I've seen others complain of keyboard ping (a high-pitched noise while typing), but I can say that I definitely couldn't hear anything like that on my unit. My only complaint other than the software is that the spacebar is loud.
