Pros and Trade-offs

Your budget and need for customization dictate the choice. If you want to try Hall effect switches with rapid trigger at the absolute lowest cost and value a high polling rate, the AULA WIN60 is a compelling experiment. If you prefer an established ecosystem with robust software, hotswap capability, better build materials, and are willing to pay a premium for it, the Wooting 60HE is the reliable choice.

AULA WIN60

  • +Extremely affordable entry point for Hall effect magnetic switches.
  • +High 8000 Hz polling rate for potentially lower latency.
  • +Includes PO sandwich cotton and bottom cotton for sound dampening.
  • +Offers multiple switch options (XingYi, Graywood, Yongchun) with different actuation specs.

  • Build materials are listed as plastic, with a lower perceived construction quality.
  • Lacks hotswap capability for easy switch changes.
  • Software features and long-term firmware support are unproven compared to the established alternative.

Wooting 60HE

  • +Established Wooting software with 8MB onboard memory for profiles.
  • +Hotswap PCB allows switch replacement (compatible with Lekker switches).
  • +Includes higher-quality components like double-shot PBT keycaps and EPDM foam with Poron pad.
  • +Explicitly listed as Linux compatible in addition to Mac and Windows.

  • Commands a premium price, costing several times more than the AULA.
  • Polling rate is listed at 1000 Hz, lower than the AULA's 8000 Hz.
  • Hotswap is limited to the manufacturer's proprietary Lekker switches.
