Wootility

New features

The analog curve got a brand new look. You can now use dots on the curve itself to draw your favorite curve. We also added indicators on the axes, so you can actually know what you’re looking at.

One of the most heard request in recent survey was more instructions on how to use everything. When you launch the new Wootility you will see a window with Calder telling you how it’s done. The new analog curve also comes with a fresh video.
Moved the Xbox controller key bindings so that all the buttons on the left side are on the left and the right side on the right, right?
(Linux beta) It’s now possible to update and restore your keyboard in the Linux version.

DKS has been moved to analog profiles. This will allow you to make a profile for your game and always switch back to a regular keyboard when you need it.
DKS has been added to the profile manager too! Share, share, share!
The actuation point has been moved to a separate card to make it clear that it will not influence your analog settings.
The extra clunky analog keybindings can be hidden, so the UI looks a lot cleaner.

Dev portal launched

When we made the Wooting one we have always envisioned two things:

Make analog keyboards the industry standard.
Make a platform that people can customize.

The developer portal is our first steps in achieving these goals. It is designed to support the hobbyist who just want to make something cool and game developers who want to unlock full analog powers in their game.

With this developer portal we want to embrace a spirit of community and sharing. This means that all our development tools will be open source and open for contribution. As always, your feedback is what makes our stuff great.

Want to learn more or just check out the developer portal you can do that here.

Upcoming features

Tachyon Mode

The Wooting keyboard is an optical keyboard, so it’s only fitting that your keyboard will be faster than light. If you enable Tachyon Mode in digital mode your keyboard will boost its response time to less than 1 millisecond. Not convinced by some marketing terms? You shouldn’t be. Check out Calder’s blog for some input speed science. Note that the actuation point and RGB effects are disabled while in Tachyon Mode to ensure maximum speed.

‍‍

Windows Key Disable

Request of the year 2018, a quick FN + Left windows key will disable the key. No more pesky Windows interrupts.

‍‍

Mac Auto update

We’re part of the Apple Developer Program (which basically means pay Apple money), so we now have a signed Mac version with auto update.

‍‍

What to expect

Next up: the redesign, updates to DKS, actuation point settings and programmability. We’re planning on launching a DKS beta soon and would love to get your feedback right here on discord.
