Installing Keycaps
If your Wooting 60HE v2 is an ISO model, it comes without keycaps pre-installed. Don't worry, installing them is simple and a great way to bond with your new keyboard.
Depending on the keycap set you have, installation can be as easy as transferring them straight from the blister tray onto your keyboard. Press each keycap down firmly so it sits snugly on the switch.
Above, you'll find a visual layout of all available ISO keycap languages for reference. Select the language of your keycaps and get started!
Pulling Keycaps
If you’ve messed up your keycap placement, need to pull out the PCBA, or you want to install a brand new set of keycaps, it’s time to master the art of keycap pulling.
Your 60HE v2 came with a special 'keycap & switch puller', a tool that functions both as a keycap- and switch puller. Make sure to use the right side of the tool (the side that says 'keycap) and follow the instructions below.
1.
Align the puller over the keycap and push down. Make sure it *clicks* on both sides.
2.
Pull with one hand straight up. With your other hand hold down the keyboard.
Pulling Switches
Did you get new switches? Grab the ‘keycap & switch puller’ that came with your keyboard. Don’t be a fool, use the side of the tool that says ‘switch’.
1.
Carefully grip the north (top) and south (bottom) sides of the switch.
2.
Gently squeeze and wiggle to detach both sides. Then pull to release from socket.
Pulling the PCBA
If you’re using the friction fit pad start at step 1. If you’ve screw-mounted the module in a case, unscrew the screws before taking out the module.
1.
Take off the spacebar and right-alt keycaps (use the right-spacebar if you’re on a split layout).
2.
Then take the PCBA puller tool, hook it into the exposed hole.
3.
Gently pull the module out of its case.
Strap/no-strap mounts
Your Wooting 60HE v2 has a ‘strap mount piece’ installed by default, you can however swap out the basic strap mount piece and replace it with the ‘stainless steel’ option, or the no-strap option if you don’t like our beloved strap. Use a PH1 screwdriver to remove the screws from the inside of the case and then take the mount off.
Strap assembly
Let’s make your 60HE v2 stand out. Assemble the Wooting strap onto the clip using the silicone attachment.
- Pull the silicone attachment through the clip hole located on the left top side of your 60HE v2 (by default).
- Fold the Wooting strap in half and align the screw holes. Then align the folded strap with one side of the silicone attachment's screw holes.
- Push the female (binding post) screw through the aligned holes, covering 3/4 layers. Add the last layer to the female screw and squeeze it together as a strap sandwich. Now you can screw and tighten the male screw.
- Repeat step 3 for the second binding post screw.
Bottom case dampening
Your Wooting 60HE v2 has a silicone dampening layer in its bottom case by default, but we also added an EPDM foam layer to the packaging. You can swap out the silicone for the EPDM foam, or leave the bottom case empty, to change your keyboard’s sound profile.
Simply pull out the PCBA using the module puller, remove the silicone, and swap in the EPDM foam (or leave it empty). Check below to see what each option does to your keyboard’s sound.
Silicone Block
The clackier and sharper option (pre-installed)
EPDM Foam
The slightly thockier, deeper option.
No case dampening
If you prefer to hear the resonance of your case.
The Wootility
Wootility is the software to configure your keyboard with. We have two versions of Wootility.
This version operates in your browser. It's fast, secure and ultra lightweight.
Pro tip: Update your device!
We constantly improve our firmware and software. Make sure you have the latest and greatest by updating your keyboard straight away.
Go to https://wootility.io and connect your keyboard. Then:
- If a firmware update is available, you'll see a notification automatically. Alternatively, go to Settings → Updates → My Devices, hover over your device, and start the update.
- Issues while updating? This might help: Error during update or restore.
- For software updates, go to Settings → Updates and click 'Check for updates'
Keyboard modes & shortcuts
Not having arrows is fine, except when you're an archer. That's why we added arrow keys, as well as other useful shortcuts, to your Wooting 60HE v2.
Out of the box, your Wooting 60HE v2 comes with 2 additional function layers that can be accessed using the Fn1 and Fn2 keys.
Below you find the default mapping, but anything can be changed in Wootility. None of the default functions are imprinted on the keycap, so you don't get confused when making your own.
Make sure to select the correct layout of your keyboard.
Profiles
Your Wooting 60HE v2 has two default profiles installed on board, a typing profile and a gaming profile (faster actuation and Rapid Trigger enabled).
You can save up to 4 profiles on your keyboard that can be accessed anywhere.
Hold down Fn then press Return
Hold down Fn then press O, P, [ {, or } ]
*Regardless of the language layout, the location is the same. Text is based on ANSI US English.
