What will you mostly use it for?
The 60HE is the more direct fit for gaming, with Rapid Trigger, adjustable actuation, and RGB. It also suits buyers who want a complete board with a case and keycaps rather than a barebones module. The 60HE Plus stands out for custom builds, thanks to its case-installation options, Gateron KS-20 compatibility, and included padding materials. For content creation, the available distinctions are build preferences rather than a clear task-specific advantage.
