    Ed really be digging deep in the BTMC Archives to cook this video up for us, thanks so much Ed
  • @SAITEKIKA
    It's actually so cool to have this collection of top player's thoughts on the kb.
  • So the moral of the story is, take drugs and caffeine pills to get better at the game. I tip my hat to that man for the dedication to the circle clicking game.
  • over here in osu!mania, a top player called bojii got his hands on the wooting what happened next was just beyond stupid, he set hundreds of scores that were almost unbeatable, (highest possible score in mania is 1 million btw) 124 perfects (999.2k) on Image Material 2nd ever SS, KYAFA unstoppable domination 999.1k 166 perfects 4th ever SS, shinbatsu o tadori 998.5k 264 perfects FIRST ever SS + it was set on 60hz lol and thats only like the tip of the iceberg edit 2 correction: he was actually playing at 55hz… wtf
  • Ed is uploading weekly !!! finally! You doing well, Ed love your vids, keep it up! <3
  • @DoubleJimmy
    Insanely good video! Looking forward to hear your opinion on the competitors!
  • Can we appreciate Ed for deep dive into this wooting keyboard provided us contant. Thank you Ed ❤
  • As someone who has used the wooting for a couple months now and noticed definite improvements as I got used to it most of this is correct. I think you shouldn't try to actively use the rapid trigger feature but when you do use it it's not by not bottoming out the keys, the way to use wooting is by not lifting all the way up but still bottoming out. This still gives you the control and feedback of bottoming out but lets you tap much faster because the distance you're moving upwards is not enough for another key actuation on a normal keyboard. Once you get used to this, the wooting goes from just a nice keyboard that makes notelock easier to deal with to an actual very real advantage.

    As someone who wanted a wooting board ever since the wooting one was released, this actually gave me an excuse to pick one up
  • I bought the Wooting 60HE and I am a 6 digit, but it did make me better (probably because I had a membrane keyboard), but rapid trigger or not there is no significant difference, just like you explained in the last video, it's more of a safety that lets you move the key very little but still press it, which requires less stamina so you don't die.

    Ive owned the wooting60he since May of 2022 and have been using their softwares for years now. I'm a fortnite pro (kinda cringe) but during a time in competitions wooting took over the scene with having 360 degree movement which was a huge advantage. At the time wooting was very very very small so they were not prepared for all this demand. They gave out a software that allowed for the movement, everyone uses it over the in game settings. When the wooting60he was announced I preorder it in January of 2021 and was excited to use the lowest actuation point out of every keyboard. I wasn't so interested in the rapid trigger, but I was the first out of the fortnite scene to know the possibilities of this keyboard. I told my friend and we gatekept it from others, After a little bit and going to dreamhack lan I got asked what keyboard I use and I'm not one to lie. This is when Osu! community got introduced to the keyboard as well and it was very difficult to get the keyboard since they sold out and had manufacturing problems. I just love how wooting took over not only the biggest game but Fortnite as well insane.
  • @Raidenduck
    I really wasn’t expecting nyanpotato to appear lol this doesn’t seem like something he would participate in, but it’s cool that he did
  • I finally got a wooting and its made a pretty big difference for me honestly. Im a big guy (and old) so bottoming out keys constantly drains my stamina and I can only play speed when hover tapping and on pretty much every keyboard I wouldnt reset the actuation when streaming or doing fast single taps because I dont bottom out the keys. It hasnt improved my aim of course, but Im 100% more consistent and can stream far longer with higher accuracy using it than any other switch Ive tried. Before it felt like my hands were doing the correct inputs but I would miss notes because I didnt reset the actuation on the key, but now that issue has been practically eliminated and I can play maps that I struggled with before. Tapping and playing 200bpm was a slog before and anything faster felt hopeless, but now 200 is my comfort speed and I can play 220bpm maps without the miserable accuracy. I love the keyboard but its only because I have always tried to tap lightly. I improved significantly in the first week of using it. My tapping always fell far behind my aim and now its the other way around. I need a wooting pen that aims for me pls Edit: Also I think one of the issues with these reviews are that youre giving it to people who are already masters at what they do with what they have. Its like giving a professional artist a different pencil, doesnt make much of a difference but it may help someone not as skilled develop a better technique or style.
  • im finding out so mutch about this keybord i might give it a try myself. I havent played osu in a few weeks but this might be just what i need to motivate myself to get better. It certonly is intresting thoah, love the vids keep up the good work man =]
  • @matteob459
    Great video ! It is really interesting to have the opinion of a lot of top players.
  • @Dragon20942
    As someone who bottoms out my switches regularly, I am almost certain that I will not see much gain unless I modify my technique. Regardless, I bought the UwU and some lekkers with higher spring force to experiment. It will be fun to play around at least!
