Wooting built the best gaming keyboard — now a new model introduces ‘Rappy Snappy’


Rappy Snappy is the evolution of Rapid Trigger.

If Rappy Snappy and Rapid Trigger aren’t already fast enough, Wooting is also using what it calls a “true” 8KHz polling rate on the 80HE, which should allow it to report keypresses to a computer eight times faster than a typical keyboard. Everyone had been asking Wooting to make a tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard with its Rapid Trigger feature that SteelSeries, Keychron, and others have copied, but the company decided to go with the slightly more compact 80 percent layout instead. Wooting is opening a “Founders’ Campaign” for the 80HE today, allowing anyone interested in the keyboard to preorder one within 31 days to receive a free switch pack, a unique Discord role, and your name on the 80HE page.
